Multidisciplinary Behavioral Research Training in T1D

描述(申请人提供)：针对RFA-DK-11-027，糖尿病研究培训，针对行为科学家，在本申请中，我们建议通过在耶鲁建立一个新的机构研究培训计划来增加耶鲁已经令人印象深刻的糖尿病培训计划，以进一步培养一支多样化和训练有素的行为科学家队伍，他们将进行与改善临床管理和1型糖尿病患者的生活质量相关的研究。我们建议每年培养1名博士后研究员和2名博士后研究员，最低培训年限为2年。前5年共培养博士后学员3名，博士后研究员6名。我们将建立强大的合作关系，在基础、临床和行为研究方面取得优异成绩，建立糖尿病内分泌研究中心(DERC)和由CTSA支持的耶鲁临床研究中心(YCCI)，以及由NIDDK赞助的主要1型糖尿病多中心研究小组，包括DCCT/EDIC、TrialNet和DirecNet。在培训计划中，我们将汇集来自护理、医学和行为科学的科学家来指导这些年轻学者。这一申请的目的是：(1)为致力于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)招募和保持一支多样化的博士后和博士后研究员队伍，他们将有助于进一步了解1型糖尿病的行为方面；以及(3)加强专业间的合作，以改善1型糖尿病患者的结果。这一多学科培训计划拥有强大的护理、医学和心理学教师，他们都拥有与1型糖尿病行为研究培训相关的专业知识。研究培训的关键要素包括强大的方法学和临床课程，以及负责任的研究行为。 公共卫生相关性：1型糖尿病的发病率和流行率继续增加，患有这种疾病的人的寿命也在增加。这种情况需要获得和保持一些自我管理技能，以实现良好的新陈代谢和生活质量结果。这一针对1型糖尿病的多学科行为研究培训计划将贡献一批训练有素的科学家，为更好的护理做出贡献。

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. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The incidence and prevalence of type 1 diabetes continue to increase as does the lifespan of those with the condition. The condition requires the acquisition and maintenance of a number of self-management skills to achieve good metabolic and quality of life outcomes. This multi-disciplinary behavioral research training program in type 1 diabetes will contribute a cadre of well trained scientists to contribute to better care.
