Young Investigators Career Science and Mentoring Program (R13)

描述（由申请人提供）：该计划为研究人员提供工具，以获得开展临床研究所需的资金，以改善肌肉骨骼疾病患者的诊断和治疗。这位年轻研究者的研究对国家的影响将受到肌肉骨骼疾病患者的赞赏，他们将更快地被诊断出来并得到更有效的治疗。他们的生活质量将从这些研讨会上的年轻研究者进行的新颖临床研究中得到改善。总体目标：1)培养与肌肉骨骼疾病相关的年轻临床研究人员，使其成为成功资助的研究人员。2)为年轻的临床研究人员提供与经验丰富的临床研究人员合作的机会，以帮助他们获得资金。具体目标：1)在以下领域培训15-17名年轻研究人员：1)提高拨款写作技巧；2)学习申请NIH拨款的流程；3)认识NIH拨款提案的特点；4)准备所需的要素。12个月后，参与者参加第二次研讨会，审查提交的资助申请、总结陈述和其他与成功追求研究人员和学术事业相关的主题。2)审查来自新参与者的提案，并指导他们必须采取的步骤，以制定有竞争力的提案。3)回顾12个月前开始参加项目的参与者的总结陈述（如果适用）。如果参与者尚未提交提案，则审查他们需要解决的问题，以充分发展他们的提案。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This program provides investigators with tools to obtain funding necessary to carry out clinical research to improve the diagnosis and treatment of individuals with musculoskeletal diseases. The national impact of this young investigators research will be appreciated by musculoskeletal disease patients who will be diagnosed sooner and treated more effectively. Their quality of life will be improved from novel clinical research studies performed by the young investigators in these workshops. Overall objectives: 1) To train young clinical investigators in academic junior faculty positions who are concerned with musculoskeletal diseases to become successfully funded researchers. 2) To provide young clinical investigators an opportunity to work with experienced clinical investigators to assist them in securing funding. Specific goals: 1) To train 15-17 young investigators in the following areas: 1) improving grant- writing skills, 2) learning the processes for applying for NIH grants, 3) recognizing the characteristics of NIH grant proposals, and 4) preparing the required elements. Twelve months later, participants attend a second workshop to review submitted grant applications, summary statements, and other topics related to the successful pursuit of a career as a researcher and in academics. 2) To review proposals from new participants, and guide them on the steps they must take to develop competitive proposals. 3) To review summary statements from participants who began the program 12 months ago (if applicable). To review the issues they need to address to fully develop their submissions, if participants have not yet submitted proposals.
