DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The high prevalence-of-use and lack of appropriate evidence regarding complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) has resulted in a compelling need for more and better research into mechanisms and outcomes related to CAM therapies. In order to grow CAM research capacity, a new generation of CAM researchers will need to be trained in the rigorous scientific methods needed to investigate the many CAM modalities, domains, and potential causal pathways. This application proposes a CAM research training program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW), to be funded by a Ruth L. Kirschstein T32 National Research Service Award from the National Center for Complementary and Alternative (NCCAM) at NIH. The purpose of this traineeship is to provide research training to individuals aiming for careers in health science research related to CAM. The training program will be collaborative, multidisciplinary, and individualized to each trainee's specific needs. Each trainee will be matched with primary and secondary mentors. The traineeship will be administered by the UW Department of Family Medicine, but will involve faculty and mentors from across the UW Schools of Medicine and Public Health, Nursing, and Pharmacy, and in UW Departments such as Psychology and Anthropology. The leaders of this proposed training program have strong CAM research backgrounds, including several projects funded by NCCAM, and successful histories of training and mentoring new and early stage researchers. The proposed traineeship will support both doctoral candidates and post-doctoral trainees, including residency-trained physicians. Individualized coursework, mentoring, grant-writing, research methodology, project management, statistical analysis, and writing for publication will form the foundation of this training program. Weekly seminars will be the core activity that brings the UW CAM trainees together to form a CAM research learning community. Twice yearly research retreats will give trainees an opportunity to showcase their projects and to develop their public speaking skills. An active feedback and evaluation process will allow monitoring and refinement of research training methods, and will track trainees beyond their training into their CAM research careers. In summary, the proposed research training program will provide a mentored research training experience to facilitate the transformation of new and early stage CAM researchers into independent productive health scientists. This will help to address current and future national needs for CAM researchers who can fill leadership roles in this growing area of health research. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The proposed research training program will select and develop the most promising doctoral candidates and post-doctoral trainees who have demonstrated a commitment to researching complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). This will substantively benefit the nation's medical research and public health enterprise by providing a steady stream of well-trained health scientists able to tackle challenging questions regarding mechanisms, processes and outcomes relating to CAM.

描述（由申请人提供）：补充和替代医学（CAM）的高使用率和缺乏适当的证据，导致迫切需要对CAM治疗相关的机制和结局进行更多更好的研究。为了提高CAM研究能力，新一代CAM研究人员需要接受严格的科学方法培训，以调查许多CAM模式，领域和潜在的因果途径。本申请提出了一个CAM研究培训计划在威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校（UW），由露丝L。Kirschstein T32国家研究服务奖，由国家补充和替代中心（NCCAM）在NIH。该培训的目的是为那些希望从事与CAM相关的健康科学研究的个人提供研究培训。培训计划将是合作的，多学科的，并根据每个受训者的具体需求个性化。每名学员将与初级和中级导师配对。实习将由家庭医学的UW部门管理，但将涉及教师和导师从整个UW医学院和公共卫生，护理和药学，并在UW部门，如心理学和人类学。这个拟议的培训计划的领导人有很强的CAM研究背景，包括NCCAM资助的几个项目，以及培训和指导新的和早期阶段的研究人员的成功历史。拟议的培训将支持博士候选人和博士后学员，包括住院培训的医生。个性化的课程，指导，赠款写作，研究方法，项目管理，统计分析和写作出版将形成这个培训计划的基础。每周的研讨会将是核心活动，使UW CAM学员聚集在一起，形成一个CAM研究学习社区。每年两次的研究务虚会将使学员有机会展示他们的项目，并发展他们的公开演讲技能。一个积极的反馈和评估过程将允许监测和改进研究培训方法，并将跟踪受训者超出他们的培训到他们的CAM研究生涯。总之，拟议的研究培训计划将提供一个指导性的研究培训经验，以促进新的和早期阶段的CAM研究人员转化为独立的生产健康科学家。这将有助于解决当前和未来国家对CAM研究人员的需求，这些研究人员可以在这个不断增长的健康研究领域发挥领导作用。 公共卫生关系：拟议的研究培训计划将选择和培养最有前途的博士候选人和博士后学员，他们已证明致力于研究补充和替代医学（CAM）。这将为国家的医学研究和公共卫生事业带来实质性的好处，因为他们提供了一批训练有素的卫生科学家，能够解决与CAM有关的机制、过程和结果方面的挑战性问题。
