Clinical Research Education, Mentoring and Career Development Core

每个DE-CTR机构都有指导教师和促进基础科学和临床学科职业发展的资源，但这些资源的重点和深度因地点而异。该关键组成活动（KCA）的目标是整合资源和计划，以指导和教育整个DE-CTR的研究者。在这个KCA的努力将带来巨大的力量，以DE-CTR的能力，改变我们机构的研究和学习环境，以促进强大的临床和转化研究计划的发展，并鼓励以团队为基础的研究方法。一个有效和高效的核心专注于教师指导，教育和发展（MED核心）利用现有的计划和结构。值得注意的是，CTSA支持的南卡罗来纳州转化研究所（SCTR）大大推进了南卡罗来纳州医科大学（MUSC）的辅导和教育计划。我们的KCA将利用SCTR的经验和SC-CTSA的目标，将他们的成功出口到其他机构，在特拉华州开发项目，MUSC通过提供指导和专业知识发挥核心作用。 一个成功的MED-Core将吸引具有博士资格的临床医生持续开展研究工作，将为基础科学家提供支持以建立转化项目，将协调外展以吸引研究团体，并将显著加强临床和转化研究的有效性。机构之间的协同互动将促进整体转化研究基础设施的发展，并支持研究团队解决影响两个州的医疗保健差异。参与研究者建立创新合作的能力将通过协调获得DE-CTR联合机构内广泛而深入的专业知识而得到极大的提高-专业知识涵盖临床实践，卫生经济学和政策，人口科学，公共卫生，生物医学科学和工程学，这些专业知识在具有有效合作伙伴关系的机构的独特组合中。 MED-Core将采用创新的方法来建立指导、教育和职业发展计划，其指导理念是研究应受临床需求的驱动，同时认识到不同患者人群的需求因当前对疾病状态的理解、可用的治疗/疗法以及在临床和社区实施有效策略的能力而异。有影响力的临床和转化研究取决于从床边到实验室到诊所再到社区的持续知识流，有效的MED-Core计划必须建立管理这些动态的技能，并使研究人员能够在专注于改善健康和医疗保健的多学科团队中工作。

Each DE-CTR institution has resources for mentoring faculty and fostering career advancement in basic science and clinical disciplines, but the focus and depth of these resources vary across sites. A goal of this Key Component Activity (KCA) is to integrate resources and programs for mentoring and educating investigators across the DE-CTR. Efforts in this KCA will bring tremendous power to the DE-CTR's capabilities to transform the research and learning environments in our institutions to foster development of strong clinical and translational research programs and encourage team-based approaches to research. An effective and efficient core focused on faculty Mentoring, Education and Development (MED-Core) leverages existing programs and structures. Notably, the CTSA-supported South Carolina Translational Research Institute (SCTR) has greatly advanced mentoring and education programs at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC). Our KCA will leverage the SCTR experience and the SC-CTSA's goal to export their successes to other institutions to develop programs in Delaware, with MUSC playing a central role by providing guidance and expertise. A successful MED-Core will entice doctoral-qualified clinicians to sustain research efforts, will provide basic scientists support to build translational programs, will coordinate outreach to engage research communities, and will significantly strength clinical and translational research effectiveness. Synergistic interactions among the institutions will foster development of infrastructure for translational research overall and support research teams addressing health care disparities affecting both states. The ability of participating investigators to establish innovative collaborations will be greatly enhanced by coordinated access to the broad and deep expertise within the combined institutions ofthe DE-CTR - expertise that spans clinical practice, health economics and policy, population sciences, public health, biomedical sciences and engineering within a unique combination of institutions that have an established record of effective partnership. The MED-Core will use an innovative approach to build mentoring, education and career development programs guided by the concept that research should be driven by clinical need while being cognizant that the needs of different patient populations vary depending on current understanding of disease state, available treatments/therapies, and the ability to implement effective strategies in the clinic and community. Impactful clinical and translational research depends on a continuous flow of knowledge from bedside to bench to clinic to community, and effective MED-Core programs must establish the skills to manage these dynamics and prepare investigators to work within multidisciplinary teams focused on improving health and healthcare.
