UW Multidisciplinary Clinical Research Training (RMI)

描述：(申请人提供)：生物知识和技术的爆炸性增长与低效、有时甚至无效的医疗保健服务形成了鲜明对比。将科学进步转化为更好的健康，需要在从医生办公室到卫生系统和社区的几个步骤上进行更多和更好的研究。因此，该申请提出了华盛顿大学的多学科临床研究职业发展计划，每年将招收大约7名临床研究学者。其目的是培养在特定研究领域有深度，但对临床调查全方位的知识广度的研究人员；从而为他们提供进行高质量综合临床研究的方法知识和实践技能；并创造一个环境，向他们灌输临床研究的兴奋，以及培养他们早期的职业发展。 该项目将涉及来自华盛顿大学医学院、公共卫生和社区医学、药剂学、护理学、牙科和社会工作学院的教师，以及弗雷德·哈钦森癌症研究中心和健康研究团体健康中心等知名附属项目的教师。博士级别的学者将从所有卫生专业人员中招聘。一个多学科的核心课程将使所有学者接触到与临床研究相关的学科的理论和方法，选修课将允许在一个重点领域进行深入研究。深入指导的研究经验将是该计划的核心，华盛顿大学提供了一系列非凡的研究核心、中心和导师来支持这项工作。学者们将在三个计划部门中的一个部门进行研究：转化研究、临床试验或结果/临床流行病学/卫生服务研究。大多数人将在临床研究轨道上完成公共卫生或药学学院的硕士学位。研究人员将不断评估项目结果，如果成功，毕业生将成为研究领导者，准备使用最高道德标准并利用新的技术和信息学工具进行多学科临床研究。

DESCRIPTION: (provided by applicant): The explosion of biological knowledge and technology contrasts with inefficient and sometimes ineffective health care delivery. Translating scientific advances into better health requires more and better research at several steps leading from bench to practitioner's office as well as to health systems and communities. This application therefore proposes a Multidisciplinary Clinical Research Career Development Program at the University of Washington, which will enroll approximately seven Clinical Research scholars per year. The aims are to train investigators who have depth in a specific area of research, but also breadth of knowledge about the full spectrum of clinical investigation; thus provide them with methodological knowledge and practical skills for conducting high quality integrative clinical research; and create an environment that infuses them with the excitement of clinical research, as well as nurtures their early career development. The program will involve faculty from the University of Washington Schools of Medicine, Public Health and Community Medicine, Pharmacy, Nursing, Dentistry, and Social Work, as well as prominent affiliated programs such as the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and the Group Health Center for Health Studies. Doctoral level scholars will be recruited from all health professions. A multidisciplinary core curriculum will expose all scholars to the theories and methods of disciplines relevant to clinical research, and elective courses will allow depth of study in a focused area. Intensively mentored research experience will be the centerpiece of the program, and the University of Washington offers an extraordinary range of research cores, centers, and mentors to support this work. Scholars will pursue research in one of three program divisions: Translational Research, Clinical Trials, or Outcomes/Clinical Epidemiology/Health Services Research. Most will complete an M.S. degree from the School of Public Health or Pharmacy in a Clinical Research Track. The investigators will continuously evaluate program results, and if successful, graduates will become research leaders prepared to conduct multidisciplinary clinical research using the highest ethical standards and capitalizing on new technologic and informatics tools.
