Renewal Application for Clinical Research Education and Career Development (CRECD

描述(由申请人提供)：莫尔豪斯医学院(MSM)少数民族机构临床研究、教育和职业发展(CRECD)的重新提交申请(R25)是根据RFA-RR-07-005提交的。 临床研究理学硕士(MSCR)项目于2002年7月获得认可，是MSM CRECD项目的核心。该计划的目标是在他们的学术生涯早期确定具有高度积极性、准备好博士学位的少数族裔候选人，以便在临床和翻译研究方面进行严格的基于课程的培训和指导，作为在临床研究领域取得杰出学术生涯的基础。MSM的临床研究能力是我们使命的一部分，也是我们成为健康差距研究领域卓越的少数族裔机构的首要目标。 拟议的CRECD方案将分两个阶段实施。第一阶段包括严格的教学方法课程和培训，这将导致临床研究(MSCR)理学硕士学位；第二阶段将为成功的第一阶段CRECD学者以及其他MSCR项目的毕业生提供指导职业发展。 MSM的CRECD计划的广泛目标是通过共同努力招募和培训经过医生准备的少数族裔候选人，以便在临床和翻译研究中取得成功，从而解决健康差距问题。以下具体目标将推动CRECD的总体目标： 目的一、扩展和加强现有的MSCR课程，培训侧重于健康差异的临床和转化性研究。 目的II.增加对临床和转化性研究培训感兴趣的医生准备的少数族裔研究人员的总体人才库。 目标三.促进成功的临床和转化型科学家的发展，他们将致力于研究对少数民族人口影响不成比例的疾病。 目的四.改善少数民族临床和翻译学者的培训环境 通过整合MSM、Emory、GA Tech和CDC之间的亚特兰大临床和翻译研究所(A-CTSI)伙伴关系，这一应用程序得到了极大的加强。具体地说，CRECD学者可以接触到更广泛的资金充足的导师池，他们是活跃的临床和转化科学研究人员，额外的K-12职位，以及新的课程作业，如健康差距和社区参与临床研究、生物医学信息学、基因组学、遗传流行病学。我们还设计了创新的一对一导师和辅导，帮助CRECD学者更成功地获得职业发展奖和其他外部支持。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This resubmission application for the Clinical Research Education and Career Development (CRECD) in Minority Institutions (R25) at Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM) is submitted in response to RFA-RR-07- 005. The Master of Science in Clinical Research (MSCR) program, accredited in July 2002, is the centerpiece of the CRECD program at MSM. The goal of the program is to identify highly motivated doctorally-prepared minority candidates early in their academic career for rigorous curriculum based training and mentoring in clinical and translational research, as the foundation for outstanding academic careers in clinical investigation. MSM's clinical research capacity is a high priority as part of our mission and overarching goal to become a preeminent minority institution in health disparities research. The proposed CRECD program will be implemented in two phases. Phase 1 includes a rigorous didactic methodologic curriculum and training that will lead to a Master of Science in Clinical Research (MSCR) degree; Phase 2 will provide mentored career development to successful Phase I CRECD scholars as well as other graduates of the MSCR program. The broad objective of the CRECD program at MSM is to address the problem of health disparities through a concerted effort to recruit and train doctorally prepared minority candidates for successful careers in clinical and translational research. The following specific aims will drive the overall goals of the CRECD: Aim I. To expand and enhance the existing MSCR curriculum for training in clinical and translational research focused on health disparities. Aim II. To increase the overall pool of doctorally prepared minority investigators who are interested in pursuing clinical and translational research training. Aim III. To foster the development of successful clinical and translational scientists who will pursue research on diseases that disproportionately affect minority populations. Aim IV. To enhance the training environment of minority clinical and translational scholars This application has been considerably strengthened by integrating the Atlanta Clinical and Translational Institute (A-CTSI) partnership between MSM, Emory, GA Tech and CDC. Specifically, the CRECD scholars have access to a broader pool of well funded mentors who are active clinical and translational science investigators, additional K-12 slots, as well as access to new coursework on Clinical Research on Health Disparities and Community Engagement, Biomedical informatics, Genomics, Genetic Epidemiology. We have also designed innovative one-on-one mentorship and coaching to help CRECD scholars to become more successful in obtaining career development awards and other extramural support.
