DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Future strategies in pain research and pain management will likely evolve from the collaborative efforts of clinicians and basic researchers working in partnership to identify novel therapeutic targets, along with contributing and predictive factors responsible for the onset and progression of acute and chronic pain. Accomplishing this goal will require multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches utilizing state-of-the art resources along with individuals trained to appreciate the complexities of the biological and psychosocial components of the pain experience. The design of the proposed training program incorporates strategies to accomplish these goals utilizing the diverse backgrounds and well-documented expertise of a core group of training faculty backed by a strong institutional commitment, and a collaborative environment to prepare trainees for careers in pain research. The program offers training opportunities in five designated tracts that represent the research interests of the core faculty. Efforts will focus on recruiting outstanding scientists and clinicians to work with mentors found within the Health Science Center and the McKnight Brain Institute. Clinical facilities located throughout the Medical Center will be used to provide a clinical component to the training program. Trainees will be exposed to a comprehensive program that consists of: (a) didactic and research components as well as (b) required participation in clinical and basic research rotations. The program contains: (a) a well balanced core curriculum; (b) provisions for the recruitment of underrepresented minorities; (c) a required component dealing with the ethical conduct of research; and (d) steps to ensure the program meets the needs of trainees in areas of research, education, and professional development. Due to the escalating prevalence of chronic pain conditions, combined with the staggering cost of pain management, there is a need for novel training strategies for the next generation of pain researchers. The University of Florida pain research community recognizes this challenge and with existing and expanding resources in education and research, there is a commitment to produce pain specialists that will contribute to the improved understanding and clinical management of acute and chronic pain. The goal of the program is to produce individuals equipped to develop clinical and/or basic science research programs and to instill in these individuals an appreciation for the benefits of collaborative, multidisciplinary programs in meeting the present and future challenges in the field of pain research.

描述（由申请人提供）： 疼痛研究和疼痛管理的未来策略可能会从临床医生和基础研究人员的合作努力中发展出来，他们合作确定新的治疗靶点，沿着导致急性和慢性疼痛发作和进展的因素和预测因素。实现这一目标将需要多学科和跨学科的方法，利用国家的最先进的资源沿着与个人训练，以欣赏的复杂性的生物和心理社会组成部分的疼痛的经验。拟议的培训计划的设计纳入了战略，以实现这些目标，利用不同的背景和有据可查的专业知识的核心组培训教师的支持下，一个强大的机构的承诺，和一个协作的环境，为学员的职业生涯在疼痛研究。该计划在五个指定的区域提供培训机会，代表核心教师的研究兴趣。努力将集中在招募优秀的科学家和临床医生与健康科学中心和麦克奈特脑研究所内发现的导师合作。位于整个医疗中心的临床设施将用于为培训计划提供临床部分。学员将接触到一个全面的计划，包括：（a）教学和研究部分，以及（B）在临床和基础研究轮换所需的参与。该计划包含：（a）平衡的核心课程;（B）招聘代表性不足的少数群体的规定;（c）涉及研究道德行为的必要组成部分;（d）确保方案满足受训人员在研究、教育和专业发展领域的需要的步骤。由于慢性疼痛的患病率不断上升，再加上疼痛管理的惊人成本，下一代疼痛研究人员需要新的培训策略。佛罗里达大学疼痛研究界认识到这一挑战，并与现有的和不断扩大的教育和研究资源，有一个承诺，以产生疼痛专家，这将有助于改善急性和慢性疼痛的理解和临床管理。该计划的目标是培养能够开发临床和/或基础科学研究项目的个人，并向这些人灌输对协作，多学科项目在满足疼痛研究领域当前和未来挑战方面的好处的赞赏。
