CLINICAL RESEARCH TRAINING PROGRAM

这份提案描述了斯坦福大学医学院临床研究培训计划的发展。项目主任和核心学院将开发几门关于临床调查方法的课程，包括研究设计、生物统计学、负责任的研究行为和科学交流等广泛的主题领域。报名参加每个主题领域的基础课程的学员将为临床研究人员学习一套核心技能。在研究设计和生物统计学方面接受更广泛培训的学员可以获得S硕士学位。该计划包括在临床专家和方法学专家的指导下进行临床研究的指导经验。受训者将从一大批博士后研究员中挑选，特别是那些获得培训补助金和职业发展奖的博士后。该计划将由一个咨询委员会监督，该委员会包括院长、几位部门主席和高级临床调查人员。拟议中的计划将显著改善斯坦福大学对临床研究人员的正规培训。

This proposal describes the development of a Clinical Research Training Program at Stanford University School of Medicine. The Program Director and Core Faculty will develop several courses in the methods of clinical investigation, including the broad topic areas of research design, biostatistics, responsible conduct of research, and scientific communication. Trainees who enroll in the basic course in each topic area will learn a set of core skills for the clinical investigator. Trainees who pursue more extensive training in research design and biostatistics can earn a Master s degree. The program includes a mentored clinical research experience, with guidance from a clinical expert and a methodologic expert. Trainees will be drawn from a large pool of post-doctoral fellows, particularly those in training grants and career development awards. The program will be overseen by an Advisory Committee that includes the Dean, several Department Chairs, and senior clinical investigators. The proposed program will significantly improve the formal training for clinical investigators at Stanford.
