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)已培训了61名内科科学家 进行临床研究，并直接使这些医生参与多中心临床试验 和二次数据分析。通过提供指导性培训、关键网络和 赞助和生物统计支持，我们展示了如何打造富有成效的调查职业生涯 生殖医学临床主动型医生的路径。我们计划在我们成功的基础上， 在未来5年内进一步加强这一计划。将实现以下具体目标：目标1： 补充和/或加强劳动力培训，以满足国家的生物医学、行为 和临床研究的需要。我们建议在#年继续为最多6名学者提供正式授课培训 每年在临床研究方法中使用独特的、定制的在线模块的生殖医学 改编自杜克大学临床研究培训计划，并得到面对面的补充 授课和一对一的咨询。为此，我们增加了完成顶峰--《论文》的资源。 该项目旨在提供有指导的实践研究体验。目标2：增加生物多样性 生物医学、行为和临床研究队伍。佳洁士将保持和改善其业绩记录 成功招聘超过其任职人数的妇女和任职人数不足的少数群体(URM) 在我们的领域内。目标3：帮助招聘具有特定专业或纪律背景的个人 从事生物医学、行为科学和临床科学的研究工作。我们会继续加强上述工作。 资源，通过与美国职业发展协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、领导力培训和团队管理 技能和网络机会，为参与者提供长期利益，使计划永久化 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 在我们寻求不断改进的同时，我们的非正式评价进程也受到了影响。

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.
