描述（由申请人提供）：该计划为研究人员提供工具，以获得开展临床研究所需的资金，以改善肌肉骨骼疾病患者的诊断和治疗。这项年轻研究人员的研究对国家的影响将受到肌肉骨骼疾病患者的赞赏，他们将更快地被诊断出来，并得到更有效的治疗。他们的生活质量将从这些讲习班的年轻研究人员进行的新的临床研究中得到改善。总体目标：1）培养年轻的临床研究人员在学术初级教师职位谁是关注肌肉骨骼疾病成为成功资助的研究人员。2)为年轻的临床研究者提供与经验丰富的临床研究者合作的机会，以帮助他们获得资金。具体目标：1）在以下方面培训15-17名年轻研究人员：1）提高拨款写作技能，2）学习申请NIH赠款的过程，3）认识NIH拨款申请的特点，4）准备所需的要素。12个月后，参加者参加第二次研讨会，审查提交的赠款申请，简要说明，以及其他有关成功追求职业生涯的研究人员和学者的主题。2)审查新参与者的建议书，并指导他们制定有竞争力的建议书所必须采取的步骤。3)审查12个月前开始该计划的参与者的总结声明（如适用）。如果与会者尚未提交提案，则审查他们需要解决的问题，以充分拟定其提案。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This program provides investigators with tools to obtain funding necessary to carry out clinical research to improve the diagnosis and treatment of individuals with musculoskeletal diseases. The national impact of this young investigators research will be appreciated by musculoskeletal disease patients who will be diagnosed sooner and treated more effectively. Their quality of life will be improved from novel clinical research studies performed by the young investigators in these workshops. Overall objectives: 1) To train young clinical investigators in academic junior faculty positions who are concerned with musculoskeletal diseases to become successfully funded researchers. 2) To provide young clinical investigators an opportunity to work with experienced clinical investigators to assist them in securing funding. Specific goals: 1) To train 15-17 young investigators in the following areas: 1) improving grant- writing skills, 2) learning the processes for applying for NIH grants, 3) recognizing the characteristics of NIH grant proposals, and 4) preparing the required elements. Twelve months later, participants attend a second workshop to review submitted grant applications, summary statements, and other topics related to the successful pursuit of a career as a researcher and in academics. 2) To review proposals from new participants, and guide them on the steps they must take to develop competitive proposals. 3) To review summary statements from participants who began the program 12 months ago (if applicable). To review the issues they need to address to fully develop their submissions, if participants have not yet submitted proposals.
