Young Investigators Career Science and Mentoring Program (R13)

项目总结 该方案为研究人员提供了获得必要资金的工具，以开展临床研究，以改善肌肉骨骼疾病患者的诊断和治疗。这项年轻研究人员的全国影响将受到肌肉骨骼疾病患者的赞赏，他们将得到更早的诊断和更有效的治疗。他们的生活质量将从这些研讨会上年轻研究人员进行的新的临床研究中得到改善。 总体目标： 1)培养年轻的临床研究人员，在学术初级教员职位上关注肌肉骨骼疾病，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)提高拨款技巧，2)学习申请国立卫生研究院补助金的程序，3)认识到国立卫生研究院拨款提案的特点，以及4)准备必要的要素。12个月后，参与者参加第二次研讨会，审查提交的拨款申请、摘要声明和其他与成功追求研究人员职业和学术生涯有关的主题。 2)审查新参与者的提案，并指导他们制定具有竞争力的提案所必须采取的步骤。 3)审查12个月前开始该计划的参与者的总结声明(如果适用)。审查他们需要解决的问题，以充分开发其提交的材料，如果参与者尚未提交提案的话。

PROJECT SUMMARY 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 grantwriting 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.
