Duke Predoctoral Clinical Research Training Program(RMI)

描述（由申请人提供）：美国国立卫生研究院已经认识到迫切需要在学术中心和私人诊所建立强大的临床研究人员网络。因此，NIH路线图鼓励研究机构扩大其临床研究培训计划。以下应用程序，响应RFA-RM-05-015：博士前临床研究培训计划，描述了杜克大学将如何利用其广泛的资源，在多个学科建立一个强大的临床研究人员管道。拟议的计划涉及杜克的四个机构计划：1）医学院，2）护理学院，3）物理和职业治疗博士课程，4）医学物理博士课程;并由三个主要组成部分组成：A）核心课程，为所有学生建立基础临床研究基础; B）短期研究经验，强调每年为12名受训人员举办的动手实践课程;和C）密集，一个或两年的研究经验，每年12名学员，这将包括一个选项，为学员获得证书或学位的健康科学硕士在临床研究。博士前临床研究计划将与我们的临床研究和培训基础设施相结合，同时保持“以学生为中心”的重点，以满足博士前学员的独特需求。杜克大学为博士后学生和初级教师提供广泛的、富有成效的培训计划。我们将利用这一机构的经验，量身定制一个高质量，全面的博士前课程，从而填补了一个关键的教育差距。我们必须在职业决策过程的早期吸引有前途的受训人员。新鲜的思想对于推进知识，改变临床实践和改善患者预后至关重要。高质量的临床研究需要掌握各种技术知识和技能。此外，临床研究不再是医生的专属领域。一个成功的研究企业现在需要跨传统学科的合作。积极的提供者和训练有素的临床研究人员团队将最有能力确保公共卫生的未来。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The National Institutes of Health has recognized the critical need for a strong network of clinical researchers in academic centers and private practice. Consequently, the NIH Roadmap has encouraged research institutions to amplify their clinical research training programs. The following application, in response to RFA-RM-05-015: Predoctoral Clinical Research Training Programs, describes how Duke University will leverage its extensive resources to build a robust pipeline of clinical researchers in multiple disciplines. The proposed Program involves four institutional programs at Duke: 1) the School of Medicine, 2) the School of Nursing, 3) the Doctoral Program in Physical and Occupational Therapy, and 4) the Doctoral Program in Medical Physics; and consists of three main components: A) A Core Curriculum, to establish a basic clinical research foundation for all students; B) A Short-Term Research Experience, emphasizing hands-on practical sessions for 12 trainees per year; and C) An Intensive, One or Two-Year Research Experience for 12 trainees per year, which will include an option for trainees to obtain either a certificate or a degree of Masters of Health Sciences in Clinical Research. The Predoctoral Clinical Research Program will integrate with our clinical research and training infrastructure, while maintaining a "student-centric" focus to address the unique needs of predoctoral trainees. Duke University has extensive, productive training programs for postdoctoral students and junior faculty. We will leverage this institutional experience to tailor a quality, comprehensive predoctoral program, thereby filling a crucial educational gap. We must attract promising trainees earlier in the career decision-making process. Fresh minds are crucial for advancing knowledge, changing clinical practice, and improving patient outcomes. High-quality clinical research requires mastery of a diverse body of technical knowledge and skills. In addition, clinical research is no longer the exclusive domain of physicians. A successful research enterprise now requires collaboration across traditional disciplines. Teams of motivated providers and trained clinician researchers will be best positioned to secure the future of public health.
