Predoctoral Research Training in Maternal and Pediatric Pharmacology

描述(由申请人提供)：加州大学圣地亚哥分校(UCSD)斯卡格斯药学学院(SSPPS)母儿药理学博士前研究培训的目标是为健康科学(药学和医学)博士前学生提供综合的教育和实践指导的短期儿科研究培训经验。我们的目标是为有兴趣的学生提供精心挑选的导师和有重点的项目，以便能够进行富有成效的12周体验。此外，该培训计划旨在培养人们对药学博士/博士双学位课程的兴趣。培训助学金教师开展的研究从分子结构的计算分析扩展到细胞和分子药理学、人类受试者的临床研究、药物经济学和卫生服务成果研究，以及教育计划的研究和药学实践研究的传播/实施。在这一广泛的研究活动领域中，有创新药物发现和药物开发方面的强有力的基本主题，以及在儿童和成人人口中改进和创新药物的治疗用途。培训学院将推广这些短期研究培训机会，并指导药剂学和医科学生进行感兴趣的项目。学生将提交一份书面建议，作为申请的基础。申请将由培训计划的教职员工进行审查和排序，在该计划的第一年将选出5名实习生，在稳定状态下增加到10名实习生。在为期12周的暑期体验中，所有学员将与培训计划教职员工一起参加每周一次的儿科主题研讨会，在研讨会上，学生可以熟悉儿科药物治疗主题，介绍他们在研究项目上的进展，并向同行和领导力核心教员寻求帮助。在短期研究培训结束后，学生将被要求参加加州大学圣迭戈分校秋季季度研究论坛。还将鼓励学生提交他们的项目，以供同行审查和在国家科学会议上发表，并发表在生物医学杂志上。 与公共卫生相关(见说明)：学员学习基础和临床科学，并进行前沿研究，从而了解药物发现和开发过程是如何工作的，如何改善患者和医疗保健结果，如何提高治疗的成本效益，以及如何提高弱势群体的用药安全性。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences (SSPPS) Predoctoral Research Training in Maternal and Pediatric Pharmacology is to provide an integrated educational and practical mentored short-term pediatric research training experience for predoctoral students in the Health Sciences (Pharmacy and Medicine). Our goal is to provide interested Students with carefully selected mentors and focused projects to allow for productive 12 week experiences. Further, this Training Program seeks to foster interest in the combined Pharm.D./Ph.D. dual degree program. Research carried out by Training Grant faculty extends from computational analysis of molecular structures, to cellular and molecular pharmacology, to human subjects clinical research, to pharmacoeconomics and health services outcomes research, and into research of educational programs and dissemination/implementation of pharmacy practice research. Within this broad sphere of research activity are strong underlying themes in innovative drug discovery and drug development, and improved and innovative therapeutic uses of drugs in pediatric and adult populations. Training Faculty will promote these short-term research training opportunities, and guide pharmacy and medical students towards projects of interest. The student will submit a written proposal, which will serve as the basis of the application. Applications will be reviewed and ranked by Training Program faculty, and 5 trainees will be selected in the first year of this program, increasing to 10 trainees at steady-state. During the 12-week, summer experience, all trainees will meet as a group with the Training Program faculty for a weekly Pediatric Topics seminar where the students can become familiar with pediatric pharmacotherapy topics, present their progress on the research projects, and seek assistance from peers and the Leadership Core faculty. At the conclusion of the short-term research training experience, the students will be required to participate in the Fall Quarter Research Forum at UCSD. Students will also be encouraged to submit their projects for peer review and presentation at national scientific meetings, and for publication in a biomedical journal. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE (See instructions): Trainees learn basic and clinical science and do cutting edge research that leads to an understanding of how the drug discovery and development processes work, how to improve patient and healthcare outcomes, how to increase cost-effectiveness of therapy, and how to improve medication safety in vulnerable populations.
