Yale Predoctoral Clinical Research Training Program(RMI)

描述（由申请人提供）：耶鲁大学医学院在培养医学生从事学术医学和研究方面有着悠久的传统和成就记录。本申请通过加强和扩展耶鲁大学医学院的高质量博士前临床研究培训计划来解决NIH路线图倡议（RFA-RM-05-015）的意图。我们的具体目标是建立一个灵活的机构培训计划，以扩大临床研究培训和执行之间的博士前医学，护理和生物医学工程的学生在耶鲁大学。长期目标是培养一代具有强大方法学技能的临床研究人员，他们在多学科团队中工作经验丰富，并有为高质量临床研究做出重大贡献的愿景。在耶鲁大学博士前临床研究培训计划提出的创新包括一个新的联合学位MD-硕士医学生在一个拉出的第五年，需要特定的课程和一年的临床研究项目的教师核心和论文委员会的成员的监督下。该计划将支持10名医学生，其中6名由NIH通过该提案支持，4名由医学院支持。对医学博士、护理博士和生物医学工程项目临床前职位的支持将扩大这些学科选定学员的临床研究培训。耶鲁大学为所有学生团体提出了新的课程和研讨会。该提案记录了目前为从事临床研究的博士前学生提供资金的优势和局限性，耶鲁大学的临床研究能力和基础设施，包括对该机构目前专注于博士后临床研究培训的主要临床研究培训项目的描述。该计划将最大限度地利用耶鲁大学的独特资源，包括学生论文计划，以患者为导向的研究的既定研究培训计划，以及临床研究和跨学科方法的教师优势。我们希望在耶鲁大学提出的连续培训经验将为NIH的投资带来显著的回报，以推动国家的临床研究事业。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Yale University School of Medicine has a long tradition and record of accomplishments in the training of medical students for careers in academic medicine and research. The present application addresses the intent of this NIH Roadmap initiative (RFA-RM-05-015) by strengthening and expanding a high quality Predoctoral Clinical Research Training Program at The Yale University School of Medicine. Our specific aim is to establish a flexible institutional training program to expand clinical research training and execution among predoctoral medical, nursing, and biomedical engineering students at Yale. The long term objective is to train a generation of clinical researchers with strong methologic skills who are experienced in working within multidisciplinary teams and have a vision of making significant contributions to high quality clinical research. The innovations proposed in the Yale Predoctoral Clinical Research Training Program include a new joint degree MD-Masters for medical students in a pull-out fifth year, requiring specific courses and a year long clinical research project under the supervision of a member of the faculty core and thesis committee. Ten medical students will be supported in this program, six supported by the NIH via this proposal and four by the medical school. Support for preclinical positions in the MD-PhD, Nursing PhD,and Biomedical Engineering Programs will expand clinical research training amongst selected trainees in these disciplines. New courses and seminars are proposed for all students groups at Yale. The proposal documents current strengths and limitations of present funding for predoctoral students pursuing clinical research, the clinical research capacity and infrastructure at Yale, including a description of the institution's major clinical research training programs which currently focus on postdoctoral clinical research training. The program will take maximum advantage of unique resources at Yale, including the student thesis program, established research training programs in patient oriented research, and faculty strengths in clinical research and interdisciplinary approaches. We expect that the continuum of training experiences proposed at Yale will yield a significant return on the investment of the NIH to advance the nation's clinical research enterprise.
