Multidisciplinary Clinical Research Career Development (RMI)

描述：（由申请人提供）：本申请寻求在约翰霍普金斯医疗机构建立一个多学科临床研究发展计划。下一代临床研究人员将需要深入的知识、技能、态度和早期研究经验，使他们能够与其他学科的同事有效地沟通和工作。提出的具体目标是：1)培养有创造力和成功的研究人员，他们可以领导和参与多学科团队的研究项目；2)为不同学科和专业的学员提供临床研究职业发展的核心知识、技能、态度和经验；3)将跨机构的临床研究培训整合到一个共同的途径中，并有机会强调不同的转化接口（从实验室到床边，从床边到实践/人群，以及复杂的定量方法）；4)增加和加强少数民族参与临床研究的人数和准备。该项目将汇集医学、公共卫生和护理学院的强大多学科单位，特别是韦尔奇预防、流行病学和临床研究中心、临床调查研究生培训计划和普通临床研究中心。研究人员将为将要招募的受训人员创建一个具有结构化核心课程的统一方案。受训者将参加小组，并由来自11个不同学科的110名科学家中的至少两名就受训者提出的研究问题进行指导，以培养合作态度和技能。为了增加以临床调查为职业的少数族裔的人数，霍华德大学医学院和牙科学院的导师、实习生和初级教员将有资格参加。现有项目的整合和以学员为中心的多学科学习将增强学员进行有意义的科学研究的能力。最终目标是培养一批具有坚实基础的研究人员骨干，以促进跨学科研究，从而帮助他们产生新知识，从而加速将实验室中的新发现和创新转化为床边、实践和改善健康的人群。

DESCRIPTION: (provided by applicant): This application seeks to establish a Multidisciplinary Clinical Research Development Program at the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions. The next generation of clinical investigators will need in-depth knowledge, skills, attitudes, and early research experiences that allow them to communicate and work effectively with their colleagues from other disciplines. The proposed specific aims are: 1) to develop creative and successful researchers who can lead and participate in research projects with multidisciplinary teams; 2) to provide trainees from different disciplines and specialties with the core knowledge, skills, attitudes, and experience for career development in clinical research; 3) to integrate clinical research training across institution into a common pathway with opportunities to emphasize different translational interfaces (bench to bedside, bedside to practice/population, and complex quantitative methods); and 4) to increase the number of and strengthen the preparation of under-represented minorities participating in clinical research. The program will bring together strong multidisciplinary units across the Schools of Medicine, Public Health, and Nursing, particularly the Welch Center for Prevention, Epidemiology, and Clinical Research, the Graduate Training Program in Clinical Investigation, and the General Clinical Research Center. The investigators will create a unified program with a structured core curriculum for the cohort of trainees to be recruited. Trainees will participate in teams and be mentored by at least two of 110 scientists from eleven different disciplines on trainee-generated research questions in order to foster collaborative attitudes and skills. To improve the number of minorities with careers focused on clinical investigation, mentors, trainees, and junior faculty from Howard University's Colleges of Medicine and Dentistry will be eligible to participate. Integration of existing programs and a focus on trainee-centered, multidisciplinary learning will enhance the capability of trainees to perform scientific studies with meaningful impact. The ultimate goal is to prepare a cadre of researchers with a strong foundation to stimulate cross-disciplinary research, thereby helping them to generate new knowledge that will speed translation of new discoveries and innovation in the laboratory to the bedside, into practice, and into populations to improve health.
