Cardiovascular Disease Research Ethics ("CADRE") Program

描述(由申请者提供)：PI和合作者提出了一个名为“心血管疾病研究伦理(”CADRE“)计划”的为期3年的跨学科合作项目，由短期课程组成，目的是提高生物医学研究人员在识别和解决涉及人类研究参与者的心血管研究的伦理、法律和社会影响方面的技能；课程内容将基于国家需求评估。干部方案汇集了一支由专家和经验丰富的调查人员组成的团队，并包括一个课程咨询委员会和社区组织，以帮助指导项目的制定、实施和评估。将提供为期一天的现场和在线课程。现场课程将每年在美国各地的不同地点举办三次，包括与国家科学学会(如美国心脏协会)同时举办的一门课程，在莫尔豪斯医学院校园内举办的第二门课程，以及在德克萨斯州休斯敦的德克萨斯心脏研究所举办的第三门课程；每一门课程都旨在吸引来自美国各地的参与者。特殊招聘和旅行援助将用于吸引历来服务不足的课程参与者。 在线课程将是基于网络的、异步的和交互式的。学员将被要求完成课程评估，并将提供继续教育学分。该项目由四个具体目标和相关研究方法组成：1)开发一个模块化的、可移植的心血管研究伦理培训计划，包括传统的现场教学和计算机辅助教学；2)每年提供三个以需求为导向的为期一天的现场课程，针对科学和机构成员，其中一个是为社区、非科学成员量身定做的；3)提供基于技能、以案例为中心的在线课程，具有用户定义的、反馈驱动的教学内容；以及4)通过参与者和用户评估、课程前和课程后知识测试以及长期调查来评估教学效果。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The PI and collaborators propose a 3-year collaborative, cross-disciplinary project titled "Cardiovascular Disease Research Ethics ("CADRE") Program," consisting of short-term courses with a goal of improving the skills of biomedical researchers at identifying and addressing the ethical, legal and social implications of cardiovascular research involving human research participants; course content will be based upon a national needs assessment. The CADRE Program brings together a team of expert and experienced investigators, and includes a curriculum advisory committee and community-based organizations to help guide project development, implementation and evaluation. Both one-day on-site and online courses will be offered. On-site courses will be held three times annually at different sites across the U.S., including one course held concurrently with a national scientific society (e.g., the American Heart Association), a second course held on the campus of the Morehouse School of Medicine, and a third course held at the Texas Heart Institute in Houston, Texas; each course is intended to draw participants from across the U.S. Special recruitment and travel assistance will be used to draw historically underserved course participants. The online course will be web-based, asynchronous, and interactive. Participants will be asked to complete course evaluations, and continuing education credit will be provided. The project consists of four specific aims and related research methods: 1) develop a modular, transportable ethics training program in cardiovascular research that includes both traditional onsite and computer-mediated instruction; 2) deliver annually three needs-driven one-day onsite courses tailored to scientific and institutional constituents, one of which is tailored to community, non-scientific constituents; 3) deliver a skill-based, case-centered online course with user-defined, feedback-driven instructional content; and 4) assess instructional effectiveness through participant and user evaluations, pre- and post-course knowledge tests, and long-term surveys.
