UW Multidisciplinary Clinical Research Training (RMI)

产品说明：（申请人提供）：生物学知识和技术的爆炸性发展与效率低下、有时无效的卫生保健服务形成了鲜明对比。 将科学进步转化为更好的健康需要更多更好的研究，从实验室到医生办公室以及卫生系统和社区。 因此，本申请提出了华盛顿大学的多学科临床研究职业发展计划，该计划每年将招收约7名临床研究学者。 其目的是培养研究者谁在研究的特定领域的深度，但也对临床研究的全方位知识的广度;从而为他们提供方法论知识和实践技能进行高质量的综合临床研究;并创造一个环境，注入他们与临床研究的兴奋，以及培养他们的早期职业发展。 该计划将涉及来自华盛顿大学医学院，公共卫生和社区医学，药学，护理，牙科和社会工作，以及著名的附属计划，如弗雷德哈钦森癌症研究中心和健康研究小组健康中心的教师。 将从所有卫生专业招聘博士级学者。 多学科的核心课程将使所有学者接触到与临床研究相关的学科的理论和方法，选修课程将允许在一个重点领域进行深入的研究。 强化指导的研究经验将是该计划的核心，华盛顿大学提供了一系列非凡的研究核心，中心和导师来支持这项工作。 学者将在三个计划部门之一进行研究：转化研究，临床试验或成果/临床流行病学/卫生服务研究。 大多数人会完成一个MS。公共卫生学院或药学院临床研究方向学位。 研究人员将不断评估项目结果，如果成功，毕业生将成为研究领导者，准备使用最高的道德标准进行多学科临床研究，并利用新的技术和信息学工具。

DESCRIPTION: (provided by applicant): The explosion of biological knowledge and technology contrasts with inefficient and sometimes ineffective health care delivery. Translating scientific advances into better health requires more and better research at several steps leading from bench to practitioner's office as well as to health systems and communities. This application therefore proposes a Multidisciplinary Clinical Research Career Development Program at the University of Washington, which will enroll approximately seven Clinical Research scholars per year. The aims are to train investigators who have depth in a specific area of research, but also breadth of knowledge about the full spectrum of clinical investigation; thus provide them with methodological knowledge and practical skills for conducting high quality integrative clinical research; and create an environment that infuses them with the excitement of clinical research, as well as nurtures their early career development. The program will involve faculty from the University of Washington Schools of Medicine, Public Health and Community Medicine, Pharmacy, Nursing, Dentistry, and Social Work, as well as prominent affiliated programs such as the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and the Group Health Center for Health Studies. Doctoral level scholars will be recruited from all health professions. A multidisciplinary core curriculum will expose all scholars to the theories and methods of disciplines relevant to clinical research, and elective courses will allow depth of study in a focused area. Intensively mentored research experience will be the centerpiece of the program, and the University of Washington offers an extraordinary range of research cores, centers, and mentors to support this work. Scholars will pursue research in one of three program divisions: Translational Research, Clinical Trials, or Outcomes/Clinical Epidemiology/Health Services Research. Most will complete an M.S. degree from the School of Public Health or Pharmacy in a Clinical Research Track. The investigators will continuously evaluate program results, and if successful, graduates will become research leaders prepared to conduct multidisciplinary clinical research using the highest ethical standards and capitalizing on new technologic and informatics tools.
