A1: CLINICAL RESEARCH FACULTY DEVELOPMENT

本子项目是利用由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的众多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能已经从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是中心的，不一定是研究者的机构。在过去的一年里，rcmi临床研究中心成功地提供了美国国立卫生研究院赞助的课程“临床研究的原理和实践”，创纪录地招收了63人，包括教师、学生和广大社区成员。本课程已成为ubr医学科学校区培训资源的一个组成部分，为那些有兴趣发展或进一步提高临床技能的人提供培训资源。除了这门课程，RCMI-CRC还部分赞助了一个为期两天的研讨会，名为“临床试验的现代方法”，由MD安德森癌症中心和德克萨斯大学生物统计和应用数学系的教员参加。Peter Thall博士、尹国生博士和Mark Munsell先生讨论了包括临床试验设计、贝叶斯概念和随机化在内的各种关键话题，为CRC研究人员提供了一个独特的机会来提高他们在临床试验设计和分析方面的知识和技能。作为我们访问科学家计划的一部分，明尼苏达大学神经学教授William Kennedy博士在RCMI-CRC教师发展部分的支持下访问了神经艾滋病研究项目。肯尼迪博士在评估皮肤神经支配作为一种研究小纤维神经病变的方法方面做了一次演讲，并一直在合作建立在皮肤神经支配实验室中应用共聚焦显微镜技术的方法。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. During this past year the RCMI-Clinical Research Center successfully offered the NIH-sponsored course ¿Principles and Practice of Clinical Research¿, with a record enrollment of 63 individuals, comprising faculty members, students and members of the community at large. This course has become an integral part of the training resources at the UPR-Medical Sciences Campus for those interested in developing or further enhancing their clinical skills. In addition to this course, the RCMI-CRC partially sponsored a 2-day seminar titled ¿ Modern Methods for Clinical Trials¿, with faculty members from the department of Biostatistics and Applied Mathematics at the MD Anderson Cancer Center and the University of Texas. Dr. Peter Thall, Dr. Guosheng Yin and Mr. Mark Munsell discussed various critical topics including clinical trial design, Bayesian Concepts and randomization, providing a unique opportunity of the CRC investigators to enhance their knowledge and skills in clinical trials design and analysis. As part of our visiting scientist program, Dr. William Kennedy, Professor of Neurology at the University of Minnesota, visited the NeuroAIDS research program with partial support from the RCMI-CRC faculty development component. Dr. Kennedy gave a lecture in the assessment of cutaneous innervation as a method to study small fiber neuropathies and has been collaborating in establishing the methododology for the application of confocal microscopy techniques in the cutaneous innervation laboratory.
