项目摘要 糖尿病与内分泌学临床研究与流行病学培训项目 约翰霍普金斯大学在完成了15年的 经费我们的培训计划在约翰霍普金斯，成立于2002年，致力于临床和 糖尿病和内分泌学的流行病学研究。15年后，它仍然是唯一一个 在美国的同类。到目前为止，我们已经成功地培养了36名年轻学者（17名博士生和 19名博士后），他们发表了128篇同行评审的科学论文， 在全国各地的位置。在上一个供资周期，我们培训了4名任职人数不足的 少数民族和13名妇女。我们的计划包括3个博士前和2个博士后插槽。 在前项目负责人Saudek和Brancati博士过早去世后，Sherita博士 戈尔登是一位接受过流行病学交叉培训的内分泌学家， 程序.新的领导班子在执行和咨询委员会的支持下， 建议第四个供资周期，具体目标如下：（1）招募一个多样化的群体， 来自国家人才库的内分泌学（博士后）和流行病学（博士后）年轻受训人员 吸引人才到约翰霍普金斯;（2）招收他们在严格的，论文轴承硕士和 约翰霍普金斯布隆伯格学院流行病学和临床研究博士课程 （3）让他们接触到一个强大的团队导向，多学科的临床和 韦尔奇预防、流行病学和临床研究中心的流行病学研究文化 研究-约翰霍普金斯临床研究培训的首要教育基地;（4） 引导每个学员到一个有经验的，NIH资助的导师谁将负责 成功完成一个重要的论文项目;（5）扩大研究培训机会 阿姆斯特朗患者安全与质量研究所（Armstrong Institute for Patient Safety and Quality）。到 实现这些目标，我们的计划汇集了教师和学员从司， 成人和小儿内分泌学和普通内科（医学院） 流行病学系（公共卫生学院），韦尔奇预防中心， 流行病学、临床研究和护理学院。20名导师将担任 小学教师，并选择了他们的专业知识，优秀的指导，并积极NIH 经费增加了具有人口健康、执行 科学、胃肠病学、儿童肥胖症以及肾脏和癌症流行病学。如果我们的提议 如果成功的话，那么约翰霍普金斯将继续在接下来的训练中发挥重要的国家作用。 培养糖尿病和内分泌学领域以患者和人群为导向的研究人员。

PROJECT SUMMARY The Clinical Research and Epidemiology in Diabetes and Endocrinology Training Program at Johns Hopkins University is applying for its third competitive renewal after completing 15 years of funding. Our training program at Johns Hopkins, established in 2002, is devoted to clinical and epidemiologic research in diabetes and endocrinology. Fifteen years later, it remains the only one of its kind in the US. Thus far, we have successfully trained 36 young scholars (17 pre-docs and 19 post docs) who have produced 128 peer-reviewed scientific papers and who hold research positions across the country. During the last funding cycle, we trained 4 under-represented minorities and 13 women. Our program includes 3 pre-doctoral and 2 post-doctoral slots. Following the untimely deaths of Drs. Saudek and Brancati, former program leaders, Dr. Sherita Golden, an endocrinologist cross-trained in epidemiology, assumed leadership of the training program. The new leadership team, supported by an Executive and Advisory Committee, proposes a fourth cycle of funding with the following specific aims: (1) to recruit a diverse group of young trainees in endocrinology (post-docs) and epidemiology (pre-docs) from a national pool of talent attracted to Johns Hopkins; (2) to enroll them in rigorous, thesis-bearing Masters' and PhD programs in Epidemiology and Clinical Investigation in the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health; (3) to expose them to a strong team-oriented, multi-disciplinary clinical and epidemiologic research culture in the Welch Center for Prevention, Epidemiology, and Clinical Research—the premier educational home for clinical research training at Johns Hopkins; (4) to guide each trainee to an experienced, NIH-funded mentor who will take responsibility for the successful completion of a significant thesis project; (5) to expand research training opportunities in implementation science through the Armstrong Institute for Patient Safety and Quality. To accomplish these goals, our program brings together faculty and trainees from the Divisions of Adult and Pediatric Endocrinology and General Internal Medicine (School of Medicine), the Department of Epidemiology (School of Public Health), the Welch Center for Prevention, Epidemiology, and Clinical Research, and the School of Nursing. Twenty mentors will serve as primary faculty and were selected for their expertise, excellence in mentoring, and active NIH funding. New mentors have been added with expertise in population health, implementation science, gastroenterology, pediatric obesity, and renal and cancer epidemiology. If our proposal is successful, then Johns Hopkins will continue to play a major national role in training the next generation of patient- and population-oriented researchers in diabetes and endocrinology.
