Clinical Research Curriculum Award

田纳西大学健康科学中心和圣犹大儿童S研究医院 成立了一个联盟，以改进和扩大临床研究技能的多学科教学培训，并 指导新的临床研究人员的职业发展。我们将巩固每个机构的优势， 包括现有的流行病学硕士课程(MSE)、综合临床研究中心、 21世纪学者计划，以及丰富的临床研究活动环境，包括活跃的 优秀和经验丰富的高级研究人员，横跨两个校区。与UTHSC密切合作 医学、护理、牙科和药学学院将加强我们的多学科努力。具体来说，我们 计划通过建立临床研究轨道来增加当前MSE的相关性。我们还计划改进 通过创建临床研究证书计划来访问培训，该计划提供基于网络的自定进度学习， 有四门临床研究的核心课程。这些证书课程将提供可转移到MSE的学分。 此外，为了改善接受培训的机会，我们希望为符合条件的学生设立奖学金。最后，我们 计划建立一个有监督的导师计划，以促进机构、学院、院系、 和纪律。该联盟将主办关于成功辅导的正式研讨会。K30 MSE参与者 临床研究路径将被分配一个由5人组成的指导团队，至少有两人已经完成 正规的导师培训，以帮助他们的职业发展。这项拟议的K30赠款计划将使 财团将现有的临床研究培训和支持纳入一个综合计划，通过 通过21世纪学者计划的支持，提供教育(课程工作)、指导和财政支持。通过 提高培训的相关性、忙碌的临床医生的可及性以及正式的指导，我们将提供 为下一代推进预防的临床研究人员提供职业发展支持的连续体， 人类疾病的诊断和管理。

The University of Tennessee Health Science Center (UTHSC) and St. Jude Children' s Research Hospital (SJCRH) have formed a consortium to improve and expand multidisciplinary didactic training of clinical research skills and mentorship for career development of new clinical investigators. We will build on the strengths of each institution, including the existing Master of Science in Epidemiology Program (MSE), the General Clinical Research Center, the 21 st Century Scholars Program, and a rich environment of clinical research activities, including active Centers of Excellence and experienced senior research faculty, spanning both campuses. Close collaboration with UTHSC's Colleges of Medicine, Nursing, Dentistry, and Pharmacy will strengthen our multidisciplinary efforts. Specifically, we plan to increase the relevance of the current MSE by establishing a Clinical Research Track. We also plan to improve accessibility to training by creating a Clinical Research Certificate program that offers web-based, self-paced learning, with four core courses in clinical research. These certificate courses will offer credit transferable to the MSE. Additionally, to improve accessibility to training, we hope to establish scholarships for qualified students. Finally, we plan to establish a supervised mentorship program that will facilitate linkages across institutions, colleges, departments, and disciplines. The consortium will sponsor formal workshops on successful mentoring. K30 MSE participants in the Clinical Research Track will be assigned a mentoring team consisting of 5 individuals, at least two who have completed formal mentor training, to assist in their career development. This proposed K30 grant initiative will allow the consortium to incorporate existing pockets of clinical research training and support into an integrated program through education (coursework), mentoring, and financially through the support of the 21 stCentury Scholars Program. By increasing the relevance of training, its accessibility for busy clinicians, and formal mentoring, we will provide a continuum of career-development support for the next generation of clinical researchers advancing prevention, diagnosis, and management of human disease.
