The Clinical Research/Reproductive Scientist Training Program (CREST)

项目摘要 临床生殖内分泌科学家培训计划（CREST）培训了61名医生科学家 进行临床研究，并直接使这些医生参与多中心临床试验 和辅助数据分析。通过提供教学培训、批判性网络和 赞助和生物统计学的支持，我们已经展示了如何打造一个富有成效的调查生涯 途径临床活跃的医生在生殖医学。我们建议在成功的基础上， 在未来五年进一步加强这一方案。目标1： 补充和/或加强劳动力的培训，以满足国家的生物医学，行为 和临床研究需求。我们建议继续对多达6名学者进行正式的教学培训， 生殖医学每年在临床研究方法，使用独特的，定制的在线模块 改编自杜克大学临床研究培训计划，并辅以面对面 教学法和一对一咨询。为此，我们增加了完成顶点“论文”的资源 该项目提供了一个指导动手研究的经验。目标2：加强 生物医学、行为学和临床研究的劳动力。CREST将保持并改善其业绩记录 成功征聘妇女和任职人数不足的少数群体， 在我们的领域。目标3：帮助招聘具有特定专业或学科背景的个人， 生物医学、行为科学和临床科学的研究生涯。我们会继续加强上述工作 通过与美国社会合作提供具体的职业发展机会， 生殖医学，包括委员会代表，领导力和团队管理培训 技能和网络机会，为参与者提供长期利益，使该计划得以延续 并允许学者们继续进行生殖研究。将增加一个正式的评估计划 在我们寻求持续改进的过程中，我们的非正式评估流程。

Project Summary The Clinical Reproductive Endocrine Scientist Training Program (CREST) has trained 61 physician scientists to conduct clinical research, and has directly enabled these physicians to participate in multicenter clinical trials and secondary data analyses. By providing a combination of didactic training, critical networking and sponsorship, and biostatistical support, we have demonstrated how to forge a productive investigative career pathway for clinically active physicians in reproductive medicine. We propose to build upon our successes to further strengthen this program over the next 5 years. The following specific aims will be addressed: Aim 1: Complement and/or enhance the training of a workforce to meet the nation's biomedical, behavioral and clinical research needs. We propose to continue formal didactic training of up to 6 Scholars in Reproductive Medicine per year in clinical research methodology, using unique, customized online modules adapted from the Duke University Clinical Research Training Program, and complemented by in-person didactics and one-on-one consultation. To this we add resources for the completion of a capstone, `thesis' project to provide a mentored hands-on research experience. Aim 2: Enhance the diversity of the biomedical, behavioral and clinical research workforce. CREST will maintain and improve its track record of successful recruitment of women and underrepresented minorities (URMs) in excess of their representation within our field. Aim 3: Help recruit individuals with specific specialty or disciplinary backgrounds to research careers in biomedical, behavioral and clinical sciences. We shall continue to enhance the above resources by providing specific career development opportunities in partnership with the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, including committee representation, training in leadership and team management skills, and networking opportunities to provide long-term benefit to participants that will perpetuate the program and allow Scholars to continue to conduct research in reproduction. A formal evaluation program will be added to our informal evaluation processes as we seek continuous improvement.
