Postdoctoral Training in Clinical Genetics Research

描述(由申请人提供)：这一机构NRSA的竞争延续申请的目的是在爱荷华大学(Ul)提供临床基因护理方面的扩展博士后研究培训计划。该培训旨在为博士后研究员提供新的跨学科机会，以扩展他们在临床遗传护理研究方面的知识和技能，重点是a)确定常见疾病、疾病症状或治疗反应中的基因组因素之间的关系，b)检查社区中的民族文化因素、个人、家庭和社区对遗传病风险和带有遗传成分的条件的反应，计划的目标是：1.准备博士后护士参与并领导跨学科研究团队调查临床基因组问题和干预措施；2.加强研究培训过程，并加速进入对NIH路线图中优先事项作出反应的研究职业，3.为教员和受训人员的研究协作和指导创造机会；4.培养一支擅长识别和研究临床基因组问题的研究人员队伍，为基因组和护理科学的进步做出贡献。具体目标将通过深入参与正在进行的教员研究、受训人员进行研究、课程作业、参加研究研讨会和全国会议以及出版、演示、研究传播和与教员的恩典经验来实现。该培训计划建立在密歇根大学教员在临床基因组学和护理研究方面的研究实力基础上。这一奖学金培训计划是对密歇根大学现有博士后和博士后培训机会的补充，但不会重复本校的其他培训机会。临床遗传学护理博士后培训为临床遗传护理学者的发展提供了独特的机会，为个人和家庭提供必要的研究培训，以发展科学知识，照顾那些遗传因素导致常见慢性健康疾病风险以及一个或多个基因变化引起的疾病的个人和家庭。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this competing continuation application for an Institutional NRSA is to provide an expanded postdoctoral research training program in clinical genetic nursing at The University of Iowa (Ul). The training is designed to provide new interdisciplinary opportunities for postdoctoral fellows to extend their knowledge and skills in clinical genetic nursing research with an emphasis on a) identification of relationships among genomic factors in common diseases, disease symptoms, or response to treatments, b) examination of ethnocultural factors, individual, family, and community responses in communities, to genetic disease risk and conditions with genetic components, The program objectives are to: 1. Prepare nurses at the post-doctoral level to participate in and lead interdisciplinary research teams in investigating clinical genomic questions and interventions, 2. Enhance the research training process and accelerate entry into a research career that is responsive to priorities in the NIH Roadmap, 3. Generate opportunities for faculty-trainee research collaboration and mentorship, 4. Contribute to the advancement of genomic and nursing science by preparing a cadre of researchers who are skilled in the identification and investigation of clinical genomic problems. The specific objectives will be achieved through intensive participation in ongoing faculty research, conduct of research by the trainee, coursework, participation in research seminars and national conferences; and publication, presentation, research dissemination, and grantsmanship experiences with faculty. The training program builds on the research strengths of the faculty at Ul in clinical genomics and nursing research. This fellowship training program complements existing pre and post-doctoral opportunities at Ul, but does not duplicate other training opportunities on this campus. Clinical genetics nursing postdoctoral training provides unique opportunities for development of clinical genetic nursing scholars by providing research training required to develop scientific knowledge for care of individuals and families for whom genetic factors contribute to risk for common chronic health disorders, as well as disorders resulting from alterations in one or more genes.
