Targeting Research and Academic Training of Nurses in Genomics

摘要 这种竞争性的更新申请机构NRSA的目标是继续提供教育 以及在组学研究领域对博士前和博士后护士进行培训。组学研究 继续与护理研究相关，这一点可以从精准医疗的势头中得到证明。带来 临床相关问题的研究工作需要一个连续的个人干部接受 科学教育和培训的现状，使他们能够将组学纳入他们的研究轨迹。 护士在弥合组学研究和临床实践之间的差距方面具有独特的地位。它们相互作用 在生命的各个阶段，在所有的临床领域。他们的工作本质上是跨学科的。更多的护士 由于基因组学已纳入全国护理课程，现在正在接受组学教育 国家尽管如此，在实验室进行长期培训的机会仍然很少， 进行尖端的组学研究。这种培训机会是必不可少的，因为几乎每个 护理科学家研究的条件，包括匹兹堡大学， 护理，有经济学的成分。我们的目标是培养有才华的护士科学家，在开始阶段， 他们的职业生涯，发展研究轨迹相关的应用和评估组学在改善 患者结局。培训计划的目标是准备博士前和博士后学员， 将组学纳入他们的研究轨迹，使用教学课程，临床轮换，期刊俱乐部， 研讨会，个性化的实践，实验室的经验，并在科学会议上介绍。目标 该计划的重点是培训：1）将组学纳入理论/概念框架; 2） 组学研究方法; 3）组学实验室技术; 4）组学的临床应用; 5） 生物信息学和基因组大数据的适用性。为什么护理学院在大学的原因 匹兹堡仍然是这样一个培训计划的理想环境中阐述的应用。

ABSTRACT This competing renewal application for an Institutional NRSA has the goal of continuing to providing education and training to nurses at the predoctoral and postdoctoral level in the field of omics research. Omics research continues to be relevant for nursing research, evidenced by the momentum for precision health care. Bringing research efforts to bear upon clinically relevant issues requires that a continuous cadre of individuals receive state of the science education and training to allow them to incorporate omics into their research trajectories. Nurses are uniquely positioned to bridge the gap between omics research and clinical practice. They interact with patients at all stages of life, and in all clinical arenas. Their work is interdisciplinary by nature. More nurses are now receiving education in omics because of the inclusion of genomics into nursing curricula across the country. Nevertheless, there continue to be few opportunities for long-term laboratory-based training in the conduct of cutting-edge omics research. Such training opportunities are essential because nearly every condition studied by nurse scientists, including those on the faculty of the University of Pittsburgh, School of Nursing, has an omic component. Our objective is to train talented nurse scientists, at the beginning stages of their careers, to develop research trajectories related to the application and evaluation of omics in improving patient outcomes. The goal of the training program is to prepare predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees to incorporate omics into their research trajectories using didactic courses, clinical rotations, journal clubs, seminars, individualized practica, laboratory experiences, and presentations at scientific meetings. Objectives of the program focus on training in: 1) the integration of omics into theoretical / conceptual frameworks; 2) omics research methodology; 3) omics laboratory techniques; 4) clinical application of omics; and 5) applicability of bioinformatics and genomic Big Data. Reasons why the School of Nursing at the University of Pittsburgh continues to be the ideal environment for such a training program are elaborated in the application.
