The Certificate Program in Translational Research (CPTR) at the Georgia Clinical and Translational Science Alliance provides PhD students, post-doctoral fellows and faculty with didactic, mentored, and experiential training in clinical and translational research.
Quantitative evaluation includes tracking trainee competency, publications, grants and careers in clinical and translational research. Qualitative evaluation includes interviews with trainees about program experiences.
The CPTR provided knowledge and skills in clinical and translational research through coursework, clinical rotation, and collaboration with interdisciplinary scientists. Trainees reported increased confidence in 22 program competencies. Trainees have published more than 290 peer-reviewed articles and received over four million dollars in grants from the NIH, over $15 from the U.S. Department of Defense, and more than $300,000 from foundations. Trainees who completed the program remained in clinical and translational research.
Programs like the CPTR are needed to train investigators to advance biomedical discoveries into population health.
佐治亚临床与转化科学联盟的转化研究证书项目(CPTR)为博士生、博士后研究员和教员提供临床和转化研究方面的教学、指导和实践培训。
定量评估包括跟踪学员在临床和转化研究方面的能力、出版物、资助和职业发展。定性评估包括就项目经历对学员进行访谈。
CPTR通过课程学习、临床轮转以及与跨学科科学家合作,提供临床和转化研究方面的知识和技能。学员报告称在22项项目能力方面信心增强。学员已发表290多篇同行评审文章,并从美国国立卫生研究院获得超过400万美元资助、从美国国防部获得超过15万美元资助、从基金会获得超过30万美元资助。完成该项目的学员仍从事临床和转化研究。
需要像CPTR这样的项目来培养研究人员,以将生物医学发现推进到人群健康领域。
