Clinical Research Curriculum Award

描述(由申请人提供)：临床和转化性研究教育和培训计划将促进临床和转化性科学职业领域新研究人员的招聘、教育和培训，并将提供范围广泛、学科多样的综合和灵活的研究教育。临床和转化性研究方法论的正式和非正式培训将增加训练有素的研究人员的数量，他们将在未来的临床和转化性科学的关键道路上担任领导角色。目标1：从所有职业发展水平的卫生专业人员和科学家中招募下一代临床和翻译研究人员。我们将在整个教育过程中通过实践经验介绍临床和转化性研究概念，以便我们能够接触到下一代临床和转化性研究人员。我们将针对各级培训中最优秀和最有前途的医生、物理治疗师、牙医、药剂师、护士、社会工作者和科学家，包括博士后学生、住院医生、博士后研究员和教师，特别重视从代表性不足的少数民族中招募研究人员。目标2：通过提供包括一系列培训机会的多样化课程来培训下一代临床和转化型研究人员，包括学位授予计划(临床研究硕士学位和证书，以及分子医学硕士学位和转化型研究证书)。我们将在整个教育过程中为卫生专业人员和科学家提供全方位的临床和转化性研究的教育机会。我们将以一套核心研究能力为基础，使用灵活有效的教学方法，促进多学科方法，将课程整合在一起。这项申请将进一步加强现有的K30计划，增加翻译研究的课程，并扩大我们的招聘努力，包括本科生和基础科学博士生。我们拥有许多独特的教育资产，包括一个国家认可的生物医学交流项目，以及与FDA在监管事务方面的出色培训。 公共卫生相关性(由申请人提供)：临床研究、教育和培训是在职业生涯的所有阶段招募和培训多学科临床和转化型研究人员的基础。这项计划对于促进生物医学研究转化为改善人类健康至关重要。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Program for Clinical and Translational Research education and Training will promote the recruitment, education and training of new investigators in clinical and translational science careers and will provide integrated and flexible research education that is broad in scope and diverse in disciplines. Formal and informal training in the methodology of clinical and translational research will increase the number of well-trained researchers who will assume leadership roles along the critical path of clinical and translational science for the future. Aim 1: To recruit the next generation of clinical and translational investigators from health professionals and scientists at all levels of career development. We will introduce clinical and translational research concepts within hands-on experiences throughout the educational pathway so that we can engage the next generations of clinical and translational investigators. We will target the best and most promising physicians, physical therapists, dentists, pharmacists, nurses, social workers, and scientists at every level of training, including predoctoral students, residents, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty, with particular emphasis on recruiting investigators from underrepresented minorities. Aim 2: To train the next generation of clinical and translational investigators by offering a diverse curriculum that includes a spectrum of training opportunities, including degree-granting programs (Master's Degree and certificate in Clinical Research and Master's Degree in Molecular Medicine with a certificate in Translational Research). We will offer educational opportunities in the full spectrum of clinical and translational research throughout the educational pathway for health professionals and scientists. We will integrate the curricula based on a core set of research competencies using flexible and efficient teaching methods that will promote multidisciplinary approaches. This application will further enhance the existing K30 Program by adding curricula in translational research and expanding our recruitment efforts to include undergraduate and basic science PhD students. We have a number of unique educational assets including a nationally recognized program in biomedical communications and outstanding training in regulatory affairs with the FDA. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE (provided by the applicant): Clinical research education and training is the foundation for recruiting and training multidisciplinary clinical and translational investigators at all career stages. This program is critical to promoting the translation of biomedical research into improvements in human health.
