3. Workshop for Early Career Investigators "Dentistry"

2000年至2010年间，来自牙科研究人员向德国研究基金会（DFG）提交的研究提案数量呈倒退趋势。与此同时，临床研究领域的需求不断增加（例如IQWIG（公共卫生质量和经济可行性研究所）关于牙周炎治疗的专家报告）。因此，VHZMK（大学口腔医学教师协会）支持一项改善这种情况的倡议。在成功举办第一届和第二届早期职业研究者“牙科”研讨会后，第三届DFG研讨会的参与者将有资格为面向患者的临床研究撰写提案并创建高质量的出版物。DFG研讨会“牙科”的参与者将具备其研究生涯的所有先决条件，并将为牙科研究的进步做出贡献。本次研讨会以“以患者为导向的牙科临床研究”为主题，旨在培养早期职业研究者在最高临床证据水平（随机对照试验）和以患者为导向的治疗与实际牙科医疗状况之间的相互作用方面的临床研究问题。目的是未来牙科治疗的科学基础的改进。考虑所有牙科学科的研究问题应是计划研讨会的另一个目标。目的是为将来的国际竞争加强牙科和口腔医学的研究环境。系统地进一步发展了最初的研讨会概念，结果是在第三次研讨会之前为早期职业研究者举办了为期一周的科学营。由DGZMK（德国口腔医学学会）和VHZMK主办。50至80名早期职业调查人员将受益于提供的理论基础和知识。

Between 2000 and 2010, the number of research proposals to the German Research Foundation (DFG) coming from dental researchers was regressive. In the meantime, an increased need in the area of clinical research has been emerging (for example IQWIG’s (institute for quality and economic viability in public health) expert report on periodontitis therapy. Thus the VHZMK (Association of university teachers in oral medicine) supports an initiative an improvement of the situation. After successfully conducting a first and second workshop “Dentistry” for Early Career Investigators, participants of the third DFG workshop shall be qualified to write proposals for patientoriented clinical research and to create high-quality publications. The participants of the DFG workshop “Dentistry” will have all the prerequisites for their research career and will contribute to advancement of dental research. Focusing on “Patient-oriented clinical research in dentistry” in this third workshop aims at qualifying early career investigators for clinical research issues in the interplay between highest clinical evidence level (randomized controlled trials) and patient-oriented treatment and the actual dental medical care situation. The aim is the future improvement of the scientific basis for dental therapy. Considering research issues from all dental disciplines shall be another objective of the planned workshop. The goal is to strengthen the research environment in dentistry and oral medicine for the international competition in future. The systematic further development of the original workshop concept results in a one-week Science Camp in advance of the third workshop for early career investigators. It shall be sponsored by the DGZMK (German Society for Oral Medicine) and the VHZMK. Fifty to eighty early career investigators will benefit of provided theoretical basics and knowledge.
