Training in Epidemiology and Clinical Trials (TECT)

描述（由申请人提供）：正如医学研究所指出的，准备训练有素和创新的新的临床研究人员致力于生殖健康和避孕研究是一个紧迫的优先事项。在全国范围内，妇女健康的这些领域在学术方案的研究议程中仍然代表不足，很少有妇产科医生/妇科医生接受过正式的研究培训。妇产科医生流行病学和临床试验培训（TECT）计划为临床研究职业提供了无与伦比的培训。我们很高兴提交这份提案，以继续我们的TECT合作伙伴关系，该合作伙伴关系将查佩尔山的北卡罗来纳州大学医学院和公共卫生学院、杜克大学医学院和杜克临床研究所以及国际家庭健康组织联合在一起，开展严格的研究培训计划。自2001年以来，我们从100多个询问中挑选了18名高素质的受训人员，其中大多数是妇女和/或少数民族。我们目前有三名研究员，下一学年将有五名研究员。所有以前的研究员都获得了MPH或MSCR;大多数人都在研究主导的学术生涯中，超过50%的FTE用于研究，有些人有校外资金来支持他们的研究。 我们的首席研究员是医学博士大卫格里姆斯，他在FHI，妇产科和妇女健康研究中心在斯坦福大学的任命。该计划主任是乔安妮加勒特，公共卫生硕士，博士，谁在妇产科预约。该杜克铅是埃文迈尔斯，医学博士，公共卫生硕士，谁是在两个杜克组成部分和流行病学的关键教师在斯坦福大学。这三个主要的教师有超过半个世纪的培训和指导年轻的临床研究人员在这里和国外的经验。领导团队与学院导师和资源学院合作，选择和培训研究员。所有学员完成MPH或MSCR，重点是临床试验方法。他们还参加了研讨会系列，工作进展论坛和赠款写作小组。 鉴于培训和研究机会的卓越质量，申请人的多样性和兴趣，以及合作机构的承诺，我们有信心继续为下一代临床研究人员做好准备。所附的出版物清单，我们的现任和前任TECT学员文件他们的研究生产力。TECT奖学金的毕业生现在在学术医学的领导地位，并帮助培养下一代临床研究人员。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): As noted by the Institute of Medicine, preparing well-trained and innovative new clinical investigators dedicated to reproductive health and contraceptive research is an urgent priority. Nationally, these areas of women's health remain under-represented in the research agenda of academic programs, and few obstetricians/gynecologists have formal training in research. The Training in Epidemiology and Clinical Trials for Obstetrician-Gynecologists (TECT) program provides unparalleled training for a career in clinical research. We are pleased to submit this proposal to continue our TECT partnership which unites the Schools of Medicine and Public Health at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Duke University School of Medicine and the Duke Clinical Research Institute, and Family Health International in a rigorous research training program. Since 2001, we have selected 18 highly qualified trainees, most of whom have been women and/or ethnic minorities from among more than 100 inquiries. We currently have three Fellows and will have a full complement of five in the next academic year. All prior Fellows have earned an MPH or MSCR; most are in research-dominant academic careers with > 50% FTE for research, and several have extramural funding to support their research. Our Principal Investigator is David Grimes, MD, who holds appointments at FHI, Obstetrics and Gynecology and the Center for Women's Health Research at UNC. The Program Director is Joanne Garrett, MPH, PhD, who has an appointment in Obstetrics and Gynecology. The Duke Lead is Evan Myers, MD, MPH, who is key faculty in both Duke components and Epidemiology at UNC. The three lead faculty have more than a half century of experience in training and mentoring young clinical researchers here and abroad. The leadership team works with Faculty Mentors and Resource Faculty to select and train Fellows. All trainees complete an MPH or MSCR with an emphasis on clinical trials methodology. They also participate in a Seminar Series, Work-in-Progress Forum, and Grant Writing Group. Given the exceptional quality of the training and research opportunities, the diversity and interests of the applicant pool, and the proven commitment of the partner institutions, we are confident we can continue to prepare the next generation of clinical researchers. The attached publication list of our current and former TECT trainees documents their research productivity. Graduates of the TECT Fellowship are now in leadership positions in academic medicine and are helping to train the next generation of clinical researchers.
