DC Clinical Research Training Consortium

描述（由申请人提供）： 本申请建议建立一个新的中心-DC临床研究培训联盟（CRTC）-为临床研究培训提供严格的教学课程和课程支持。 CRTC是两所大学和四个医疗中心在美国国会大厦的合作：乔治敦大学（GU），霍华德大学（HU），GU医院，HU医院，儿童国家医疗中心和华盛顿医院中心（WHC）及其研究部门，MedStar研究所（MRI）。 CRTC将利用每个机构的固有优势，包括他们的大型临床培训计划，对研究培训和教师发展的承诺，资助的研究组合和庞大的教师资源，以吸引有才华的个人从事临床研究职业，并改善他们的培训，使他们成为成功的研究人员和学者。 使用创新的教学方法，包括多媒体和远程学习技术，这个为期2年的临床研究培训计划将包括（1）第一年致力于六个核心课程，两个生物统计学，临床流行病学和研究设计，以及人类受试者保护;（2）专业轨道的差异化第二年：遗传学，机械学和转化临床研究，药物开发和发现临床研究，社区和行为临床研究，每个选修高级课程和一系列必要的短期研讨会课程;（3）举办一个为期两年的多学科会议，集中评估学员的研究工作;及（4）设立一个中央机制，让学员和导师知悉所有中心院校的学习机会。 教学和指导教师代表了一个积极的研究团队，在临床研究培训和课程开发方面取得了成功。 关键资源包括三个GCRC，一系列尖端研究支持核心设施，以及联合参与机构的协作临床研究和研究培训记录。 CRTC成员致力于该计划的成功和可持续性，以加强和保持他们在临床研究培训方面的使命。 (End摘要）

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application proposes to establish a new center-the DC Clinical Research Training Consortium (CRTC)-to provide rigorous didactic course work and curriculum support for training in clinical research. The CRTC is a collaboration among two universities and four medical centers in the nation's capitol: Georgetown University (GU), Howard University (HU), GU Hospital, HU Hospital, Children's National Medical Center, and Washington Hospital Center (WHC) with its research arm, MedStar Research Institute (MRI). The CRTC will utilize the inherent strengths of each of the institutions, including their large clinical training programs, commitments to research training and faculty development, funded research portfolios, and vast faculty resources, to attract talented individuals to clinical research careers and improve their training so that they will succeed as investigators and scholars. Using innovative teaching methods, including multimedia and distance-learning technology, this 2-year clinical research training program will include (1) a first year devoted to six core courses, two each on biostatistics, clinical epidemiology and study design, and human subjects protection; (2) a differentiated second year of specialized tracks: genetic, mechanistic, and translational clinical investigation, drug development and discovery clinical investigation, and community and behavioral clinical investigation, with elective advanced coursework and a required series of short seminar courses for each; (3) a two-year multidisciplinary conference focused on critical appraisal of trainee research; and (4) development of a centralized mechanism to inform participant trainees and mentors of learning opportunities in all of the CRTC institutions. The teaching and mentorship faculty represents a team of motivated investigators with demonstrated success in clinical research training and curriculum and course development. Key resources include three GCRCs, an array of cutting-edge research support core facilities, and a record of collaborative clinical research and research training uniting the participating institutions. The CRTC members are committed to the success and sustainability of this program in order to enhance and maintain their missions in clinical research training. (End of Abstract)
