Clinical Research & Epidemiology in Diabetes & Endocrinology

描述(由申请人提供)： 约翰霍普金斯大学医学院题为糖尿病和内分泌学临床研究和流行病学的培训补助金正在申请首次竞争续签，此前该基金已经完成了3.5年的资助。培训计划的目标是提供新一代临床研究人员，他们接受过临床研究和流行病学工具的培训，准备从事富有成效的、成功的职业生涯糖尿病和内分泌学研究。为了实现这一目标，该计划汇集了两个强大的部门：内分泌和新陈代谢部门(医学部)和韦尔奇预防、流行病学和临床研究中心。(医学院和公共卫生学院)。从这些不同的群体和公共卫生学院人类营养中心挑选了15名导师。这些导师是根据他们公认的专业知识、研究效率和证明的指导技能来挑选的。三名博士后和两名博士后研究员是从大量合格的申请者中挑选出来的。他们有授课课程，博士后注册项目，大多数博士后研究员参加临床调查研究生培训计划(GTPCI)。在每种情况下，受训者都会与导师配对，进行密集的研究指导。约翰霍普金斯大学的研究环境被认为是卓越的，有一系列的会议，研究数据库，GCRC，最重要的是一支优秀的教职员工。在培训资助的头几年，我们已经证明了我们拥有优秀的候选人库，博士后成功地进入了GTPCI，并且实施了一个连贯的培训计划。我们的受训者在培训补助金期间一直很有成效，我们相信他们将继续从事富有成效的职业生涯。教职员工，包括年轻的导师，在学术上取得了进步，并基本保持稳定。增加了几位新的导师，取代了已经晋升到高级行政职位的导师。我们认为，我们有足够的申请者和计划，可以证明在总共三名博士后和三名博士后的基础上再增加一名博士后研究员是合理的。总而言之，我们汇聚了两个经常分离但极其相辅相成、极其重要的学科。我们已经将这些学科带给了我们的第一代学员。我们相信，我们在这一独特的计划中已经有了一个非常成功的开始，并准备在稍微多一点的受训人数上继续这一计划。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The training grant titled Clinical Research and Epidemiology in Diabetes and Endocrinology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine is applying for its first competitive renewal, having completed 3.5 years of funding. The goal of the training program is to provide a new generation of clinical investigators, trained with the tools of clinical research and epidemiology, ready to pursue productive, successful careers diabetes and endocrinology research. To accomplish this goal, the program brings together two strong divisions: the Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism (Department of Medicine) and the Welch Center for Prevention, Epidemiology and Clinical Research. (Department of Medicine and School of Public Health). Fifteen mentors have been chosen from these diverse groups and from the Center on Human Nutrition, School of Public Health. The mentors are selected on the basis of their recognized expertise, research productivity and demonstrated mentoring skills. Three pre-doctoral students and two post-doctoral fellows are selected from a large number of qualified applicants. They have didactic course work, pre-docs enrolled in the doctoral program and most post-doc fellows joining the Graduate Training Program in Clinical Investigation (GTPCI). In each case, trainees are matched with mentors for intensive research mentoring. The research environment at Johns Hopkins is considered outstanding, with a series of conferences, research data bases, a GCRC, and above all an excellent faculty. In the first years of the training grant, we have demonstrated that we have the pool of outstanding candidates, that the post-docs successfully enrolled in the GTPCI, and that a cohesive training program was implemented. Our mentees have been productive in their time on the training grant, and we believe they will go on to productive careers. The faculty, including the younger mentors, has progressed academically, and remained largely stable. Several new mentors are added, replacing mentors who have risen to high level administrative positions. We feel that we have the pool of applicants and the program in place to justify an addition of one more post-doctoral fellow, to a total of three pre-docs and three post-docs. In sum, we have brought together two often separated but extremely complementary and extremely important disciplines. We have brought these disciplines to our first generation of trainees. We believe that we have had a very successful start in this unique program, and are ready to continue it at a slightly higher number of trainees.
