Graduate Training Program in Clinical Investigation

描述(由申请人提供)： 约翰霍普金斯大学GTPCI1993年成立，是该大学医学院和公共卫生学院的共同努力。该计划在过去九年中招收了72名内科-研究人员，进入为期一年的教学课程，然后是至少两年的有指导的临床研究，最终发表论文并授予两个硕士学位。或者博士学位。1990年，该项目被授予K30课程发展奖，该奖项现在提供增强的管理、指导和课程结构。这一多学科临床研究培训计划缺失的一环是一种支付适合这一严格计划的合格临床博士后研究员早期培训途径的津贴和学费的方法。目前申请新的K12导师临床研究学者计划奖将使我们能够填补这一空白。 这一培训计划的长期目标是加强、改进和评估一种培训优秀临床研究人员的模式，我们已经通过这种模式获得了相当多的经验；并将其一些好处扩展到约翰·霍普金斯大学内外更广泛的临床研究人员群体。K12奖项将通过提供补充资源来大力支持这一目标，这些资源将：(1)鼓励有抱负的临床研究人员申请GTPCI培训，否则他们可能得不到支持；(2)允许GTPCI计划的教职员工更积极和直接地参与选择、鼓励和指导正在接受该计划培训的医生-研究人员；(3)在最初的三年承诺之外提供过渡性支持，以帮助那些表现和潜力最高的受训者；以及(4)通过积极参与本培训拨款的实施，加强这种多学科和校际培训计划的教职员工。其他预期好处包括加强GTPCI和我们的GCRC项目之间的工作关系，开启在约翰·霍普金斯大学以外培训的有才华的临床研究人员参与GTPCI的潜在机会，以及提高我们研究所未来以患者为导向的研究职业的可见性、有效性和成功。

DESCRIPTION (Provided by the applicant): The Johns Hopkins GTPCI was initiated in 1993 as a joint effort of the University's Schools of Medicine and Public Health. The Program has matriculated 72 physician-investigators over the past nine years into a year-long didactic curriculum which is then followed by at least two years of mentored clinical research leading to thesis publication and the award of either a M.Sc. or Ph.D. degree. In 1990 this program was awarded a K30 Curriculum Development Award which now provides enhanced administrative, mentoring, and curriculum structures. The missing link for this multidisciplinary clinical research training program has been a way to pay for stipend and tuition costs for the early training pathway of qualified clinical postdoctoral fellows who are suitable for this rigorous program. The current application for the new K12 Mentored Clinical Research Scholar Program Award will enable us to fill this gap. The long-term objective of this training program is to strengthen, enhance, and evaluate a model for training superior clinical investigators, with which we already have gained considerable experience; and to extend some of its benefits to a broader group of clinical investigators both within and external to Johns Hopkins. The K12 award will substantially support this objective, by providing complementary resources which will: (1) encourage applications for GTPCI training from aspiring clinical investigators who otherwise might not be supported; (2) permit more active and direct participation by GTPCI program faculty in the selection, encouragement and mentoring of physician-investigators being trained by the program; (3) provide transitional support beyond an original three-year commitment to those trainees with the highest level of performance and potential; and (4) strengthen this multidisciplinary and interschool training program faculty through their active involvement in the implementation of this training grant. Additional anticipated benefits include strengthening the working relationship between the GTPCI and our GCRC programs, opening the potential GTPCI participation by talented clinical investigators trained outside of Johns Hopkins, and enhancing the visibility, effectiveness and success of future careers in patient-oriented research at our Institution.
