The Training Core

临床研究技能发展核心的目标是培养熟练的，富有成效的， 血管疾病的独立翻译和临床研究者。我们的目标是培养年轻人 研究人员设计，执行，分析和解释翻译和临床研究， 预防、检测、表征和治疗/管理血管疾病。对每个参与者的培训将包括a） 由著名研究人员讲授的血管生物学高级课程; B）每两周一次的SCCOR-TAAD 由杰出的教师领导的研讨会; c）临床研究课程描述的“粉红色的床单”， K30更新是一个非常复杂和成功的计划。“基础课程和 研讨会于周三下午5点至6点30分举行，以帮助每位参与者发展和完善 翻译或临床研究方案、资助提案和手稿。可选修高级课程 德州大学休斯顿研究生院和医学院，健康信息学和公共卫生;贝勒学院 医学和研究生院;和莱斯大学，都在我们的医疗中心内或附近。参与者 有足够的保护时间可以追求临床研究或其他MS或博士学位，如果重要的MS或博士学位 他们的职业发展; d）一个有重点的研究计划与密集的导师联合提供 来自主要导师和核心导师，提供转化或临床研究的方法学专业知识。 年轻的研究人员将全面参与SCCOR-TAAD项目，开始自己的研究， 准备一个主要的研究计划（例如R 03，K 08或K23）。强化辅导将继续 通过完成这项研究和SCCOR-TAAD。 核心主任是乔恩泰森，医学博士，公共卫生硕士，儿科和内科贝恩教授，主任 临床研究和循证医学中心，以及2004年杰出 全国临床培训项目主任协会教育家奖。核心联合主任 Dianna Milewicz，医学博士，内科学教授，医学遗传学主任， MD/PhD课程，并获得Doris杜克杰出临床科学家奖。他们和其他高级 SCCOR-TAAD的核心导师和研究人员提供了互补的背景和人才， 培训血管疾病领域熟练、高效、独立的翻译和临床研究者。在这 通过这种方式，我们的临床研究技能发展核心将有助于培养下一代医生 研究血管疾病的科学家，并将基础研究的进展转化为改进的 预防、诊断和治疗常见死亡和残疾原因的方法。

The objective of the Clinical Research Skills Development Core is to develop skilled, productive, and independent translational and clinical investigators in vascular disease. Our specific aim is to train young investigators in designing, performing, analyzing and interpreting translational and clinical research to prevent, detect, characterize, and treat/manage vascular disease. Training for each participant will include a) an advanced course on Vascular Biology taught by prominent researchers; b) biweekly SCCOR-TAAD seminars led by eminent faculty; c) a Clinical Research Curriculum described on the "pink sheets" for the competitive K30 renewal as "an extremely sophisticated and successful program." Basic courses & workshops are given Wednesdays 5-6:30 PM & tailored to help each participant develop & refine translational or clinical study protocols, grant proposals, and manuscripts. Advanced courses may be taken at UT Houston Graduate School & Schools of Medicine, Health Informatics, & Public Health; Baylor College of Medicine & Graduate School; & Rice University, all within or adjacent to our Medical Center. Participants with adequate protected time may pursue an MS in Clinical Research or other MS or PhD degree if important to their career development; d) a focused program of research with intensive mentorship provided jointly from a primary mentor & a Core mentor providing methodologic expertise in translational or clinical research. Young investigators will be fully involved in a SCCOR-TAAD project, initiate their own research, & within 2 years prepare a major research proposal (e.g. a R03, K08, or K23). Intensive mentorship will continue through completion of both this research and the SCCOR-TAAD. The Core Director is Jon Tyson, MD, MPH, Bain Professor of Pediatrics & Internal Medicine, Director of the Center for Clinical Research and Evidence-Based Medicine, and the 2004 Recipient of the Distinguished Educator Award from the National Association of Clinical Training Program Directors. The Core Co-Director is Dianna Milewicz, MD, PhD, Professor of Internal Medicine, Director of Medical Genetics and of the MD/PhD program, & recipient of a Doris Duke Distinguished Clinical Scientist Award. They and other senior Core mentors and investigators in the SCCOR-TAAD provide the complementary background and talents to train skilled, productive, and independent translational and clinical investigators in vascular disease. In this way, our Clinical Research Skills Development Core will help to train the next generation of physician scientists investigating vascular disease and to translate the advances in basic research into improved methods to prevent, diagnose, and treat a common cause of death and disability.
