Professional Development Core

项目概要/摘要：专业发展核心 专业发展核心（PDC）将通过开发 并扩大发展和维持土著健康研究中心所需的知识基础设施 在蒙大拿和阿拉斯加。为了实现这一目标，PDC将实现以下具体目标：具体目标1。 增加阿拉斯加和蒙大拿州研究人员在启动临床和 AI-AN健康的转化研究。这将通过举办讲习班来实现， AI-AN健康的临床研究，资助机会，以及如何启动和维持此类研究 通过AI-AN CTRC机制。PDC还将开发一个教师研讨会交流计划的资金 无论是已建立的还是潜在的新的临床研究者，都将前往阿拉斯加或蒙大拿州举办研讨会， 他们的研究，并与当地调查人员在两个国家的性能现场机构访问， 从而促进对土著健康的兴趣和合作的发展。具体目标2。为了发展， 通过指导，阿拉斯加和蒙大拿州的研究人员能够有效地在临床上 健康研究。这将通过首先开发导师来源，然后将他们联系起来来实现 新的AI-AN CTRC临床研究者。指导将在4个级别进行。1)一对一的指导， 学员和主要科学导师，2）学员和导师委员会之间的导师，3） 学员与社区参与和外联（CEOC）之间的指导，以及4）学员与社区参与和外联（CEOC）之间的指导 外部咨询委员会（EAC）。具体目标3。为了提高阿拉斯加的能力， 和蒙大拿州研究人员开发和维持他们的临床和转化研究项目。 PDC将为每位学员制定临床研究开发计划。该计划将包括 课程列表，涵盖临床和转化研究的各个方面，个性化的需求， 学员这些课程将通过华盛顿大学（UW's CTSA）的网络课程系统在线提供。 和内华达州大学的CTR-IN（UN的IDEA CTR）。将鼓励项目的可持续性， PDC通过与学员合作，通过组织助学金申请粉笔会谈来制定适当的建议 允许初级和成熟的临床研究者在他们提出资助建议之前， 投入大量的精力来写一份关于可能有缺陷的想法或目标的提案。PDC将与 通过提案准备过程指导学员。然后，将指导学员管理 计划和人员，以及赠款管理。具体目标4。与评价核心合作， 不断评估PDC在实现其目标方面的进展，并在需要时利用 评价，以告知程序和/或组织变革，促进实现核心目标， 因此，中心的目标。评估对该计划至关重要，因此， 为更好地实现其目标而需要的核心程序性战略将由评价结果驱动。

Project Summary/Abstract: Professional Development Core The Professional Development Core (PDC) will contribute to the overall goal of AI-AN CTRC by developing and expanding the intellectual infrastructure needed to develop and sustain a center for Native health research in Montana and Alaska. To achieve this, the PDC will accomplish the following specific aims: Specific Aim 1. Increase interest and opportunities of Alaskan and Montanan researchers in initiating clinical and translational research in AI-AN health. This will be accomplished by offering workshops on the needs for clinical research in AI-AN health, opportunities for funding, and how to initiate and sustain such research through AI-AN CTRC mechanisms. The PDC will also develop a faculty seminar exchange program funding both established and potential new clinical investigators, to travel to either Alaska or Montana to give seminars of their research, and visit with local investigators at each of the two state’s performance site institutions and thus facilitate development of interest and collaborations in Native health. Specific Aim 2. To develop, through mentoring, the ability of Alaskan and Montanan researchers to be effective in clinical Native health research. This will be accomplished by firstly developing a source of mentors and then linking them with new AI-AN CTRC clinical investigators. Mentoring will occur at 4 levels. 1) One-on-one mentoring between the mentee and the primary, scientific mentor, 2) mentoring between the mentee and the Mentoring Board, 3) mentoring between the mentee and Community Engagement and Outreach (CEOC) and 4) mentoring between the mentee and the External Advisory Committee (EAC). Specific Aim 3. To enhance the ability of Alaskan and Montanan researchers to develop and sustain their clinical and translational research programs. The PDC will construct a clinical research development program for each mentee. This program will consist of a list of courses, covering all aspects of clinical and translational research, personalized to the needs of the mentee. These courses will be offered on line through the ITHS of the University of Washington (UW’s CTSA) and the CTR-IN of the University of Nevada (UN’s IDeA CTR). Sustainability of projects will be encouraged by the PDC by working with mentees to develop appropriate proposals by organizing grant application chalk talks to allow junior and established clinical investigators to present their ideas for a grant proposal before they invest significant effort writing a proposal on ideas or aims that might be flawed. The PDC will then work with the mentee through the proposal preparation process. Then, mentees will be mentored on management of program and personnel, as well as grant management. Specific Aim 4. To work with the Evaluation Core to constantly assess the progress of the PDC in achieving its goals and when needed, to utilize evaluation to inform procedural and/or organizational changes to facilitate achievement of the Core, and therefore the Center goals. Evaluation is crucial to this program, thus, continuation or changes in procedural strategies of the core needed to better achieve its aims, will be driven by results of evaluation.
