Research Training: Self and Family Management

描述（由申请人提供）：本前博士后培训计划的目的是培养护理研究人员为慢性疾病，特别是癌症，心血管疾病和糖尿病或这些疾病的风险的自我和家庭管理科学做出贡献。必须有一支强大的护士科学家队伍，他们可以为这一领域的研究做出贡献。这项倡议建立在我们国家自然研究所资助的风险人群自我管理干预探索中心的基础上，将这项工作扩展到对博士前和博士后受训者的培训。博士预科课程为初级研究人员提供必要的知识和技能，以了解自我管理，并为癌症、心血管疾病或糖尿病患者开发和测试护理干预措施。它以我们目前的博士课程为基础，增加了慢性病的自我和家庭管理的实质性内容，各自临床领域的科学研究状况，与该领域的各种研究人员的研究经验，以及使用同源物进行深入研究的机会。将支持10名新的博士前研修生，每人最多2 - 3年，总共18个职位。博士后培训将使研究人员准备进行更复杂的研究，涉及跨学科的观点或需要复杂的分析技术。博士后研究员将与经验丰富的教师研究人员合作，对癌症、心血管疾病或糖尿病患者进行持续研究，参加大学内指定中心的跨学科博士后培训项目，并为校外资助提出建议。本项目共资助10名新博士后，每人资助两年，5年共资助18个岗位。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this pre and postdoctoral training program is to prepare nurse researchers to contribute to the science of self and family management of chronic illness, especially cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes or risk for these diseases. It is imperative that a strong cadre of nurse scientists be available who can contribute to this area of inquiry. This initiative builds on our NINR-funded Exploratory Center for Self-Management Interventions for Populations at Risk by expanding that work to training for predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees. The predoctoral program prepares the beginning researcher with the knowledge and skills necessary to understand self management and to develop and test nursing interventions for patients with cancer, cardiovascular disease, or diabetes. It builds on our current doctoral program by adding substantive content in self and family management of chronic illness, the state of the science research in the respective clinical areas, research experience with a variety of researchers working in the field, and the opportunity for in-depth study using cognates. A total of 10 new predoctoral trainees will be supported, each for up to two-three years, for a total of 18 positions. Postdoctoral training will prepare investigators to conduct more complex studies involving an interdisciplinary perspective or the need for sophisticated analytic techniques. Postdoctoral fellows will work with experienced faculty researchers on ongoing studies of patients with cancer, cardiovascular disease, or diabetes, participate in interdisciplinary postdoctoral training programs in specified centers within the university, and develop a proposal for extramural funding. A total of 10 new postdoctoral fellows will be supported during the project, each being supported for a total of two years, for a total of 18 positions over 5 years.
