描述（申请人提供）：在本申请中，作为对RFA-DK-11-027《行为科学家糖尿病研究培训》的回应，我们建议通过在耶鲁大学建立一个新的机构研究培训计划，进一步发展一支多样化和训练有素的行为科学家骨干队伍，他们将进行与改善临床管理和质量相关的研究。1型糖尿病患者的饮食习惯我们建议每年培养1名博士前研究员和2名博士后研究员，至少培训2年。前5年共培养3名博士前学员和6名博士后研究员。我们将建立在我们强大的合作关系，在基础，临床和行为研究，建立糖尿病内分泌学研究中心（DERC）和CTSA支持的耶鲁临床研究中心（YCCI），以及主要的NIDDK赞助的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。本申请的目的是：（1）为将致力于1型糖尿病行为研究的行为科学家建立研究培训计划;（2）招募并维持一批多元化的博士前和博士后研究员，他们将有助于进一步了解1型糖尿病的行为方面;（3）加强跨专业合作，以提高1型糖尿病患者的治疗效果。该多学科培训计划在护理，医学和心理学方面拥有强大的师资力量，他们都具有与1型糖尿病行为研究培训相关领域的专业知识。研究培训的关键要素包括强大的方法和临床课程以及负责任的研究行为。

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.
