UCSF Predoctoral Clinical Research Training Program(RMI)

描述(由申请人提供)：加州大学旧金山分校在过去5年中培训了700多名新的临床研究人员，是为数不多的同时拥有Roadmap-K12学者计划和Doris Duke慈善基金会医学生临床研究奖学金的机构之一。这些计划，加上我们出色的K30和超过750,000美元的强大机构支持，将成为加州大学旧金山分校新的T32学生培训计划的基础，该计划被称为“临床研究职业之路”(PACCR)。PACCR计划将对加州大学旧金山分校的临床研究产生重大影响，为所有医学、牙科、护理和药剂学博士前学生加强核心临床研究课程。PACCR将包括12个为期两个月和3个月的奖学金，9个为期一年的强化奖学金(获得临床研究高级培训证书，并为医学生提供“医学博士论文”称号)和3个为期两年的强化奖学金(获得临床研究硕士学位)。PACCR计划将与K30和Roadmap-K12计划紧密结合，并将在一个新的共享临床研究支持设施中与K12计划共享空间。除了强大的教学课程外，学生的研究项目将由一位从一大批优秀教师中挑选出来的导师密切监督。PACCR咨询委员会、一个三人论文委员会和K12学者将提供额外的指导。计划开展多项活动，为PACCR学生在校园内提供高知名度，并创建强大的方案认同感和团体凝聚力。这些活动包括一系列师生研究会议、两周一次的研究会议、期刊俱乐部、一年一度的研究研讨会和定期的社交聚会。该计划将通过招收加州大学旧金山分校以外的学生来加强，其中包括每年至少3名少数族裔学生。焦点小组、离职面谈和校友聚会将加强我们的评估和跟踪过程，我们将利用这些信息和我们执行委员会和咨询委员会的建议来持续努力改进我们的计划。PACCR将对加州大学旧金山分校的临床研究格局产生重大影响，并将激励学生继续他们的研究培训，无论他们在哪里定居，都会成为独立研究人员。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): UCSF has trained over 700 new clinical researchers during the last 5 years and is one of a small number of institutions that is home to both a Roadmap-K12 scholars program and the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation Clinical Research Fellowship for Medical Students. These programs, together with our outstanding K30 and strong institutional support that exceeds $750,000, will serve as the foundation for the new T32 student training program at UCSF, known as "Pathways to Careers in Clinical Research" (PACCR). The PACCR program will have a major impact on clinical research at UCSF by enhancing the core clinical research curriculum for all medical, dental, nursing and pharmacy predoctoral students. PACCR will include12 two- and 3-month fellowships, 9 intensive one-year fellowships (leading to an Advanced Training in Clinical Research certificate and for medical students an "MD with thesis" designation) and 3 intensive two-year fellowships (leading to a Master's in Clinical Research). The PACCR program will be closely integrated with the K30 and Roadmap-K12 program and will share space with the K12 program in a new Shared Clinical Research Support Facility. In addition to the strong didactic curriculum, students' research projects will be closely supervised by a mentor selected from a rich array of outstanding faculty. Additional mentorship will be provided by the PACCR Advisory Committee, a 3-person thesis committee and K12 scholars. Multiple activities are planned to provide the PACCR students with a high profile on campus and create a strong programmatic identity and group cohesion. These include a series of faculty-student research conferences, biweekly research meetings, a journal club, an annual research symposium and regular social get-togethers. The program will be strengthened by recruitment of students from outside UCSF, including at least 3 minority students per year. Focus groups, exit interviews and alumni reunions will enhance our evaluation and tracking process and we will use this information and advice from our Executive and Advisory Committees in an ongoing effort to improve our program. PACCR will have a major impact on the clinical research landscape at UCSF and will stimulate students to continue their research training, leading to careers as independent researchers wherever they settle.
