The Advanced Postgraduate Program in Clinical Investigation is designed to provide didactic training, practical guidance and mentoring by a multidisciplinary experienced team of researchers, for promising individuals who select a career in clinical research. The University of Florida has produced a respectable number of clinician-investigators over the years, but has lacked a formal mechanism specifically devoted to improving the quality and quantity of clinical researchers. The Program Director has the experience and managerial qualifications to direct the program. An Advisory Committee composed of established researchers with mentoring experience will select the APPCI fellows, provide the direction and oversight of the program and establish policies that will be carried out by the Program Director. The three parts of the APPCI are 1) a series of didactic and elective courses, including biostatistics, research design, clinical epidemiology, medical outcomes, ethics, and essentials of scientific writing, and mentored research experiences leading to a Master's Degree in Medical Science in Clinical Investigation (or to a Master's of Public Health for suitable candidates); 2) the development of a sound research proposal under the guidance of an individual mentor and with review by the Advisory Committee, leading to submission of a funding application by the end of the first 12 months of participation; and 3) the establishment of a series of support activities such as a weekly seminar series, a visiting professorship and an annual APPCI retreat to foster interaction, collaboration and growth of the fellows. Fellows will be expected to devote 75 percent effort to their participation in the program and to research activities. The Interim Vice- President for the Health Center has committed a 40,000 dollar award per year in support of one new fellow entering the APPCI each year. This will enable the participation of an individual whose sponsoring department may otherwise have inadequate funds to permit a 75 percent time commitment. Potential participants have been readily identified from within fellowship programs funded by training grants, junior faculty with mentored research career development awards and from individuals participating in an introductory course on clinical investigation. Training grant directors have indicated their enthusiasm for the development of such a curriculum. The effectiveness of the program will be evaluated by regular interview and surveys as well as tracking of fellow's progress.

临床研究的高级研究生计划旨在为多学科经验丰富的研究人员团队提供教学培训，实践指导和指导，以供有望选择临床研究职业的个人。 多年来，佛罗里达大学产生了可观的临床医生评估者，但缺乏专门用于提高临床研究人员质量和数量的正式机制。 该计划主管具有指导该计划的经验和管理资格。 由拥有指导经验的既定研究人员组成的咨询委员会将选择APPCI研究员，提供计划的指导和监督，并制定计划主任将执行的政策。 APPCI的三个部分是1）一系列教学课程和选修课程，包括生物统计学，研究设计，临床流行病学，医学成果，伦理学，伦理学和科学写作的基本知识，以及指导的研究经验，导致了临床研究的医学科学硕士学位（或者授予公共健康大师的医学科学硕士学位）； 2）在个人导师的指导下，在咨询委员会的审查下制定了一项合理的研究建议，从而在参与的前12个月结束时提交了资金申请； 3）建立一系列支持活动，例如每周研讨会系列，访问教授职位以及年度APPCI务虚会，以促进研究员的互动，协作和成长。 预计研究员将付出75％的努力，以参与该计划和研究活动。 卫生中心临时副总裁每年颁发40,000美元的奖励，以支持每年进入APPCI的新研究员。 这将使一个人的参与，否则其赞助部门可能不足以允许75％的时间承诺。 潜在的参与者很容易从奖学金计划中，由培训补助金，有指导研究职业发展奖的初级教师以及参加临床调查入门课程的个人提供。 培训赠款主管表明他们对开发这种课程的热情。 该计划的有效性将通过定期访谈和调查以及跟踪同伴的进步进行评估。
