Clinical and Translational Science Award

尽管将基础科学发现转化为临床领域的必要性得到了广泛的认可， 临床研究队伍不足。指导临床/转化性研究的总体目标 培训计划旨在促进早期临床/转化型研究人员的职业发展 调查人员。 CTSI是密尔沃基地区几个学术机构和医疗保健提供者的合作伙伴关系。 连同其学术、实验室和患者护理资源，这一合作伙伴关系提供了丰富的、 为招募和培训临床研究人员提供多学科环境。拟议的计划建立在 我们在现有和整合的临床研究学者计划(前K30)方面的成功经验 和指导临床研究培训计划。我们已经招募了高素质的人员加入这两家公司 在这些项目中，代表了一系列学术和临床学科。总体而言，参与 在出版物数量、随后的研究经费和 事业发展。 我们建议的指导式临床研究培训计划具有足够的灵活性，可以容纳学员 有不同的背景，不同的经验水平，以及不同的研究生涯轨迹。下一个 该计划的拟议演变阶段受到国际移民组织最近要重点关注的建议的影响 职业发展和团队科学。目标如下： 目标1.帮助每位学员创建个性化的、全面的、以目标为中心的 研究职业发展计划。 目标2.将团队科学融入研究生涯发展。 除了提供有指导的临床/转化性研究体验外，相关的计划活动 包括以下内容：全面的指导计划；相关课程的机会，可能导致 一个学术学位，如临床/转化学硕士；将每个实习生与一位职业导航员联系起来； 制定职业目标和核心能力要求；创建多学科项目开发 为每个受训人员提供小组，以协助确定团队成员；为以下项目提供试点资助 基于团队的竞争性研究；引导学员选择不同的职业选择；识别和创造 适当的同伴支持小组 将使用几个指标来评估受训人员和培训计划。

Although the imperative to translate basic science discoveries into the clinical arena is widely acknowledged, the clinical research workforce is inadequate. The overall goal of the Mentored Clinical/ Translational Research Training Program is to facilitate the research career development of early-stage clinical/translational investigators. The CTSI is a partnership of several academic institutions and healthcare providers in the Milwaukee area. Together with its academic, laboratory, and patient care resources, this partnership provides an enriched, multidisciplinary environment for recruiting and training clinical investigators. The proposed program builds on our successful experience with the existing and integrated Clinical Research Scholars Program (formerly K30) and the Mentored Clinical Research Training Program. We have recruited highly qualified individuals into both of these programs, representing a spectrum of academic and clinical disciplines. Overall, participants in the programs have been successful in terms of numbers of publications, subsequent research grant funding, and career advancement. Our proposed Mentored Clinical Research Training Program is sufficiently flexible to accommodate trainees with different backgrounds, different levels of experience, and different research career trajectories. The next phase in the proposed evolution of the Program is influenced by recent IOM recommendations to focus on career development and team science. The objectives are as follows: Objective 1. Assist each trainee in creating an individualized, comprehensive, and goal focused research career development plan. Objective 2. Integrate team science into research career development. In addition to providing a mentored clinical/translational research experience, related programmatic activities include the following: a comprehensive mentoring plan; opportunities for relevant coursework that may lead to an academic degree, e.g. MS in Clinical/Translational Science; linking each trainee with a career navigator; developing career goals and core competency requirements; creating a Multidisciplinry Project Development Panel for each trainee to assist in the identification of team members; providing pilot grant support for competitive team-based research; orienting trainees to a variety of career options; identifying and creating appropriate peer support groups Several metrics will be used to evaluate trainees and the training program.
