Multidisciplinary Behavioral Research Training in T1D

描述（由申请人提供）：根据RFA-DK-11-027《行为科学家的糖尿病研究培训》的要求，我们提出在耶鲁大学已经非常出色的糖尿病培训项目的基础上，通过建立一个新的机构研究培训项目，进一步培养一支多样化的、训练有素的行为科学家队伍，他们将从事与改善1型糖尿病患者的临床管理和生活质量相关的研究。计划每年培养1名博士前研究员和2名博士后，培养时间不少于2年。前5年将培养3名博士生预科生和6名博士后。我们将建立强大的合作关系，在基础、临床和行为研究方面的卓越记录，建立糖尿病内分泌学研究中心（DERC）和ctsa支持的耶鲁临床研究中心（YCCI），以及niddk资助的主要1型糖尿病多中心研究小组，包括DCCT/EDIC、TrialNet和DirecNet。在培训项目中，我们将汇集护理、医学和行为科学领域的科学家来指导这些年轻学者。该申请的目的是：(1)为将致力于1型糖尿病行为研究的行为科学家建立一个研究培训计划；(2)招募和维持一个多元化的博士后和博士生队伍，他们将有助于进一步了解1型糖尿病的行为方面；(3)加强跨专业合作，提高1型糖尿病患者的治疗效果。这个多学科培训项目在护理、医学和心理学方面拥有强大的师资力量，他们都在与1型糖尿病行为研究培训相关的领域拥有专业知识。研究培训的关键要素包括强大的方法论和临床课程，以及负责任的研究行为。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In this application in response to RFA-DK-11-027, Diabetes Research Training for Behavioral Scientists, we propose to add to Yale's already impressive training programs in diabetes by establishing a new institutional research training program at Yale to further develop a cadre of diverse and highly trained behavioral scientists who will conduct research relevant to improved clinical management and quality of life for people with type 1 diabetes. We propose to train 1 predoctoral fellow and 2 postdoctoral fellows each year, with a minimum commitment of 2 years of training. A total of 3 predoctoral trainees and 6 postdoctoral fellows will be trained in the first 5 years. We will build on our strong collaborative relationships, excellent track record in basic, clinical and behavioral research, established Diabetes Endocrinology Research Center (DERC) and CTSA-supported Yale Center for Clinical Investigation (YCCI), and the major NIDDK-sponsored multi-center study groups in type 1 diabetes, including DCCT/EDIC, TrialNet, and DirecNet. In the training program, we will bring together scientists from nursing, medicine, and the behavioral sciences to mentor these young scholars. The aims of this application are to: (1) Establish a research training program for behavioral scientists who will commit to careers in behavioral research in type 1 diabetes; (2) Recruit and maintain a diverse cadre of pre- and post- doctoral fellows who will contribute to further understanding of behavioral aspects of type 1 diabetes; and (3) Enhance interprofessional collaborations to advance outcomes for people with type 1 diabetes. This multidisciplinary training program has strong faculty in Nursing, Medicine, and Psychology all of whom have expertise in areas relevant to behavioral research training in type 1 diabetes. Key elements of the research training include strong methodological and clinical coursework as well as in the responsible conduct of research.
