本申请是为了响应RFA OD-98-007，获得新的K30临床研究课程奖（CRCA）。 这里所描述的程序的主要目的是开发一个核心课程，这将提供优秀的和有调查意识的医生科学家在临床研究的原则奠定了坚实的基础。 利用西奈山医学院的独特优势，学员将在三个领域接受教育和指导：1）流行病学和行为研究; 2）结果和卫生政策研究;和/或3）以患者为导向的研究。 被选中参加该计划的参与者将获得设计和进行新兴医学治疗的临床研究的技能，并分析和应用新的诊断技术和新方法来研究疾病病理生理学。 还将为代表性不足的少数民族学生制定一项独特的教育计划。 该计划的具体目标将通过教学和互动课程以及积极的指导来实现：1）提供适用于临床研究的临床研究方法，生物统计学，生物伦理学和基础科学技术的深入培训; 3）促进临床研究的环境和课程，突出妇女健康的临床研究工作，少数民族和特定的种族和文化群体; 4）使学员能够分析，批评和解释自己和他人的研究结果; 5）整合我们现有的临床研究课程，目前在GCRC和医学和社区医学系的主持下，与这里提出的更全面的计划，为了给以后的博士学位的发展提供一个框架，临床研究;和6）通过利用二元导师（实习生/学生）计划，提高西奈山医学院青年教育卓越中心中代表性不足的少数民族青年参与者对临床研究的赞赏。 该奖项将使该机构能够发展和扩大其在培养和培养未来临床科学家和临床研究领导者的教育视野方面的声誉。 该奖项将通过培养一个环境，使代表性不足的少数民族学生能够尽早接触到临床调查职业的可能性，从而提供附加值。 在这样做的计划将提高教师和其他学员对临床研究和新的教育举措正在进行中的认识，通过卓越的青年教育中心，并将有助于成为全国知名的指导和促进卓越的临床研究的专业知识的机构目标。

This application is for a new K30 Clinical Research Curriculum Award (CRCA), in response to RFA OD-98-007. The principal aim of the program described here is to develop a core curriculum which will provide outstanding and investigatively minded physician scientists with a strong foundation in the principles of clinical research. Drawing upon the unique strengths of The Mount Sinai School of Medicine faculty trainees will be educated about and mentored in three areas 1) epidemiological and behavioral studies; 2) outcomes and health policy research; and/or 3) patient oriented research. Participants who are selected to join this program will acquire the skills to design and conduct clinical investigations of emerging medical treatments and to analyze and apply new diagnostic techniques and new approaches to the study of disease pathophysiology. A unique educational program for underrepresented minority students will also be developed. The specific objectives of this program, which will be achieved through a didactic and interactive curriculum and through active mentoring are: 1) To provide in depth training in clinical research methodologies, biostatistics, bioethics and basic science techniques that are applicable to clinical research; 3) To foster an environment and curriculum in clinical research which highlights clinical investigative efforts in Women's Health, minority populations and specific ethnic and cultural groups; 4) To enable trainees to analyze, critique and interpret the results of their own research and that of others; 5) to integrate our existing clinical research curriculum, currently presented under the auspices of the GCRC and the Department of Medicine and Community Medicine, with the more comprehensive program proposed here, in order to provide a framework for the later development of a Ph.D. in clinical research; and 6) To enhance appreciation for clinical research among underrepresented minority youth participants in the Center for Excellence in Youth Education, at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, by utilizing a dyad mentorship (trainee/student) program. This award will enable this institution to grow and extend its reputation in fostering and cultivating the educational horizons of future clinical scientists and leaders in clinical investigation. This award will provide added value by fostering an environment that allows for underrepresented minority students to be exposed early on to the possibilities of careers in clinical investigation. In so doing the program will enhance awareness among faculty and other trainees regarding the clinical research and novel educational initiatives ongoing, through the Center for Excellence in Youth Education and will contribute to the Institutional goal of becoming nationally renowned for its expertise in mentoring and promoting excellence in clinical investigation.
