CLINICAL RESEARCH TRAINING PROGRAM

亚拉巴马大学（UAB）实施了一项全面的计划，以确保其临床研究活动的综合发展和持续卓越。 在对RFA OD-98-007的回复中描述的临床研究培训计划（CRTP）解决了对正式计划的迫切需求，以向实习临床研究者提供开展临床研究所需的技能和概念框架。UAB和相关校区已确定约270人为合格的潜在参与者。UAB-CRTP的目标是：1）识别和招募有动力成为独立临床研究者的学员，他们将从必要的基本技能的教学培训中受益; 2）为未来的临床研究者提供培训课程，使参与者能够启动和进行高质量的临床研究，向参与者灌输保护患者权利和促进参与者临床研究活动的伦理价值观; 3）仔细评估项目并跟踪参与者的进展。 这些目标将通过为期2年的计划，通过医学的UAB学校与公共卫生学院密切合作，并依靠从几个不同的学校的研究计划绘制的国家认可的教师的丰富多样性管理实现。 将在多学科课程委员会制定的方案中为20-25名参与者的班级提供教学培训。 在第一年，核心领域的80小时教学培训将以模块为基础的计划提出。 在第二年，参与者感兴趣的特定领域的正式培训将通过选修模块完成，并将使用基于经验的学习计划来进一步发展设计和分析技能。 培训机会的广度和深度确保了受训人员的职业发展。 课程的持续发展和监督将由内部咨询委员会监督的正式评估计划提供。 UAB拥有完善的、资金充足的研究项目，将为CRTP学员提供一批有动力的学员和充足的高质量研究机会。 该应用程序将利用UAB的创新研究（约2.6亿美元）和临床研究人员的专业知识，为少数民族人口，特别是非洲裔美国人和农村，老年人和儿科人口提供服务。

A comprehensive plan has been implemented at the University of Alabama (UAB) to ensure the integrated development and continued excellence of its clinical research activities. The Clinical Research Training Program (CRTP) described in this response to RFA OD-98-007 addresses the urgent need for a formal program to provide trainee clinical investigators with the skills and conceptual framework necessary for the conduct of clinical research Approximately 270 individuals have been identified as qualified, potential participants at UAB and associated campuses. The objectives of the UAB-CRTP are: 1) To identify and recruit trainees who are motivated to become independent clinical researchers and who would benefit from didactic training in the necessary fundamental skills; 2) To provide a curriculum for training of future clinical investigators that will enable participants to initiate and conduct high quality clinical research, instill in the participants the ethical values that protect patients' rights and further participants' clinical research activities; and 3) To carefully evaluate the program and track the progress of the participants. These objectives will be achieved through a 2-year program administered through the UAB School of Medicine in close cooperation with the School of Public Health and relying on the rich diversity of nationally recognized faculty drawn from the research programs of several different Schools. Didactic training will be provided to classes of 20-25 participants in a program developed by the multidisciplinary Curriculum Committee. In the first year, 80 hours of didactic training in core areas will be presented in a module-based program. In the second year, formal training in the participant's specific area of interest will be accomplished through elective modules, and an experienced-based learning program will be used for further development of design and analytical skills. The career development of the trainees is ensured by the breadth and depth of mentored training opportunities. Continuing development of the curriculum and oversight will be provided by a formal evaluation program with the oversight of the Internal Advisory Committee. UAB has well- established, well-funded research programs and will provide both a pool of motivated trainees and ample high quality research opportunities for the CRTP trainees. This application will leverage the innovative research at UAB (approximately 260 million dollars) and the expertise of the clinical researchers in serving minority populations, especially African-American and rural, geriatric and pediatric populations.
