描述（申请人提供）：这个跨学科的培训项目将为学者提供临床急诊护理研究方面的教学和导师驱动的培训。该项目将扩展现有资源，并开发专门的新课程，以使年轻的调查人员进入专门从事紧急护理的调查职业的高轨道。具体目标是：(1)为项目建立一个可持续的管理结构，(2)正式确定参与单位教师的指导角色，(3)创建新的课程，专门针对急诊医学和急性护理研究的独特方面，以及(4)招募，选择和监督高质量急诊医学临床研究者的初步和长期成功。学者将是早期职业医生或博士后学者，临床重点是急诊护理。在两到三年的时间里，学者们将在一个由急性护理研究专家组成的指导小组的指导下进行初步调查。一个教学项目，包括一篇论文，将导致硕士或其他高级学位。培训计划的主要目的是为独立资助的研究做好准备，这些研究将改善急诊和急性护理。主要重点是为学者在资助期间开展独立调查提供所需的所有资源和指导。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This interdisciplinary training program will provide scholars with didactic and mentor-driven training in clinical emergency care research. The program will extend existing resources and develop specific new curriculum to move young investigators into a high trajectory for an investigative career specifically focused on emergency care. Specific aims are (1) to establish a sustainable administrative structure for the program, (2) to formalize the mentoring roles for faculty from the participating units (3) to create new curriculum that specifically addresses unique aspects of emergency medicine and acute care research, and (4) to recruit, select, and monitor the initial and long-term success of high-quality emergency medicine clinical investigators. Scholars will be early career physicians or post-doctoral scholars with clinical focus in emergency care. Over two or three years, scholars will conduct primary investigations with input from a mentoring team drawn from experts in acute care research. A didactic program, including a thesis, will lead to a master's or other advanced degree. The primary aim of the training program is to prepare scholars for independently funded investigations that will improve emergency and acute care. The principle focus will be to provide all resources and guidance required for scholars to start independent investigation during the term of their support.
