Predoctoral Clinical Research Trainin**(RMI)

描述（由申请人提供）： 这是一个新的应用程序，作为NIH路线图的一部分开发，并提交响应RFARM- 05-015博士前临床研究培训计划。该申请将为华盛顿大学医学院（WUSM）提供必要的资金，以促进医学，物理治疗，职业治疗，听力学，社会工作和生物医学工程等几个领域的博士前学生的临床研究培训。我们的长期目标是利用这笔资金促进新生的卫生保健专业人员的职业发展，他们将成为优秀的以病人为导向的研究人员。这项建议的总体目标是加强跨学科的培训，以病人为导向的研究。该提案的具体目标是：（1）为博士预科生提供教授临床研究基础知识的教育课程;（2）提供积极的临床研究实践经验;（3）激发对临床研究的兴趣，提高医学生和其他医疗保健专业人员在临床研究培训中的数量和质量。我们将通过三方方法实现这些目标：确定有才华的博士前学生;为他们提供现有的和新的课程，重点是临床研究设计，生物统计学，临床研究的伦理和法律的方面，以及科学写作;并沉浸在临床研究中。为了利用现有的教学能力，我们已经与新资助的K30计划协调课程工作。我们每年将提供24个培训名额：十几个为期两个月的夏季研究经验，以及十几个为期12个月的沉浸式课程，以获得硕士学位。创新计划建议强调跨学科团队建设，部分是通过促进合作研究模式，使临床研究学员与另一名学员（以及至少一名导师）配对进行实习研究计划。WUSM提供了许多独特的研究培训机会，使其成为培训以患者为导向的研究人员的理想场所。为了促进跨学科，跨部门的临床研究，华盛顿大学已承诺数百万美元的临床科学的新部门。拟议的T32计划沿着我们新的K30计划，结合这种支持性的机构环境和优秀的研究人员，将使我们能够培养下一代优秀的以患者为导向的研究人员。我们的K30应用程序最近的成功和拟议的T32资金的增加将催化WUSM的优秀面向患者的研究的日益发展。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a new application developed as part of the NIH Roadmap and submitted in response to RFARM- 05-015 Predoctoral Clinical Research Training Programs. This application will provide Washington University School of Medicine (WUSM) with the funds necessary to promote clinical research training among predoctoral students in several fields: medicine, physical therapy, occupational therapy, audiology, social work, and biomedical engineering. Our long-term objective is to utilize this funding to promote the career development of nascent health-care professionals who will become outstanding patient-oriented researchers. The overall goal of this proposal is to enhance interdisciplinary training in patient-oriented research. The Specific Aims of this proposal are: (1) to provide predoctoral students educational courses that teach the fundamentals of clinical research; (2) to provide positive hands-on clinical research experiences; and (3) to stimulate interest in clinical research and to increase the number and quality of medical students and other health-care professionals in clinical research training. We shall achieve these aims by a tripartite approach: identifying talented predoctoral students; providing them with existing and new coursework focusing on clinical research design, biostatistics, ethical and legal aspects of clinical research, and scientific writing; and immersing them in clinical research. To take advantage of existing didactic capabilities, we have coordinated the course work with a newly funded K30 Program. We will offer 24 training slots per year: a dozen two-month summer research experiences, and a dozen 12-month immersion programs leading to a MA degree. The innovative program proposes to emphasize interdisciplinary team building, in part, by promoting a collaborative research model whereby clinical research trainees pair with another trainee (as well as at least one mentor) for their practicum research program. WUSM offers a number of unique research training opportunities that make it an ideal location for training patient-oriented researchers. To foster interdisciplinary, cross-departmental clinical research, Washington University has committed millions of dollars to a new Division of Clinical Sciences. The proposed T32 Program along with our new K30 Program, in conjunction with this supportive institutional environment and outstanding research faculty, will allow us to train the next generation of outstanding patient-oriented researchers. The recent success of our K30 application and the addition of the proposed T32 funding will catalyze WUSM's increasing development of outstanding patient-oriented research.
