NIH Grant Prep.Workshops for Rehabilitation Research

描述(申请人提供)：康复领域一直落后于生物医学研究的其他领域。因此，医疗康复实践往往是基于经验、传统、病例报告、直觉和假设，而不是基于科学得出的证据。总部设在弗吉尼亚大学的加强南方康复研究(ERRIS)是美国国立卫生研究院资助的四个康复研究网络之一，其目的是提高康复研究的质量和数量。私人投资机构实现这一目标的一种方式是举办为期41天半的赠款筹备强化讲习班。与关于这一主题的被动研讨会不同，选定的参与者准备完成一份拨款提案，提交给NIH。该研讨会的目标受众包括所有医疗康复学科的初级和中级教职员工，他们正处于NIH资助的研究的成功边缘。这些讲习班提供专门知识和支助，以便在国家一级成功地获得研究经费支助。该项目的目的是通过继续为所有医疗康复学科的初级和中级教师提供这一培训机会，在ERRIS年度康复研究补助金撰写、准备和提交研讨会的成功基础上再接再厉。PIS将提供为期41天半的专职强化培训和指导，内容涉及赠款撰写、临床试验设计、生物统计学、信息学、协作、资助力、预算和职业发展。此外，参与者将获得关于预算、文献搜索、人类主题和赠款准备的其他方面的支持。关键要素将是由拥有NIH拨款撰写或其他相关经验的教职员工进行个人指导。通过电子教程、视频会议和现场会议，参与者将练习在这一领域新学到的技能，并将致力于准备提交给NIH的极具竞争力的提案。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The rehabilitation field has lagged behind other areas of biomedical research. As a result, practice in medical rehabilitation is often based on experience, tradition, case-report, intuition, and assumption rather than on scientifically derived evidence. Enhancing Rehabilitation Research in the South (ERRIS), based at the University of Virginia, is one of four NIH-funded rehabilitation research networks whose purpose is to increase the quality and quantity of rehabilitation research. One way in which the PIs have accomplished this goal is through intensive 41/2-day long workshops on grant preparation. Unlike passive seminars on this topic, selected participants come prepared to complete a grant proposal for submission to the NIH. The target audience for this workshop includes junior and mid-level faculty in all medical rehabilitation disciplines who are on the cusp of success in NIH-funded research. The workshops provide the expertise and support to be successful at the national level in obtaining research grant support. The purpose of this project is to build upon the success of the ERRIS Annual Workshops on Grant Writing, Preparation, and Submission in Rehabilitation Research by continuing this training opportunity for junior and mid-level faculty in all medical rehabilitation disciplines. The PIs will provide 41/2 days of dedicated intensive training and mentoring in grant writing, clinical trial design, biostatistics, informatics, collaboration, grantsmanship, budgeting, and career development. Additionally, participants will receive support regarding budgets, literature searches, human subjects, and other aspects of grant preparation. The key element will be individual mentoring by faculty who has NIH grant writing or other relevant experience. Through electronic tutorials, videoconferencing, and on-site conferences, participants will practice newly learned skills in this area and will work on preparing highly competitive proposals to the NIH.
