项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) continue to be the gold standard for assessing the efficacy and effectiveness of rehabilitation science interventions. Unfortunately, relatively few researchers have completed large-scale trials of rehabilitation interventions, and there are no centralized training programs that impart the wide array of skills necessary to conduct such studies. The NCMRR Research Plan specifies that postdoctoral training programs be established to produce researchers capable of performing clinical trials. The proposed training program at the University of Southern California will enable doctoral level scholars from rehabilitation-related fields to gain the expertise necessary to perform sophisticated clinical trials, including comparative effectiveness studies. Over a five year period, 10 Ph.D. level researchers will be recruited to undergo an intensive two-year training sequence which involves exposure to all phases of clinical trials research. Reflecting a strong interdisciplinary emphasis, faculty members from three program branches (occupational therapy, physical therapy, and advanced technology) will oversee a coordinated training experience that includes individualized mentorship plans, core coursework, participation in training seminars, immersion in externally funded projects, and writing of grant proposals and research publications. The training will be organized around four core themes: (1) the identification of effective interventions for children (pediatric rehabilitation); (2) protective and risk factors in adults with disabilities; (3) the rehabilitation and subsequent reintegration of people with disabilities into the community (acute and community-based rehabilitation); and (4) applications of innovative technology. Anticipated trainee outcomes include an increased capacity to independently conduct RCTs and an increase in the quantity and rigor of rehabilitation science publications. In the long term, the ability to train a cohort of young career scientists in RCT methodology will lead to an improved research base that will promote the development and testing of interventions that increase the effectiveness of rehabilitation services.

描述（由申请人提供）：随机临床试验（RCT）仍然是评估康复科学干预措施功效和有效性的黄金标准。不幸的是，相对较少的研究人员完成了康复干预措施的大规模试验，并且没有集中式培训计划可以赋予进行此类研究所需的广泛技能。 NCMRR研究计划规定，建立了博士后培训计划，以生产能够进行临床试验的研究人员。南加州大学拟议的培训计划将使与康复有关的领域的博士学位学者能够获得进行复杂的临床试验所需的专业知识，包括比较有效性研究。在五年内，10博士学位级别的研究人员将被招募，以进行两年的密集培训顺序，其中涉及接触临床试验研究的所有阶段。反映出强大的跨学科重点，来自三个计划分支机构（职业治疗，物理治疗和先进技术）的教职员工将监督协调的培训经验，其中包括个性化的指导计划，核心课程，参加培训研讨会，参加外部资助的项目以及赠款建议和研究出版物的撰写和研究出版物。该培训将围绕四个核心主题组织：（1）确定儿童有效干预措施（小儿康复）；（2）残疾人的保护和危险因素；（3）残疾人的康复和随后重返社区（急性和基于社区的康复）；（4）创新技术的应用。预期的学员成果包括增加独立进行RCT的能力以及康复科学出版物的数量和严格性的增加。从长远来看，培训年轻职业科学家在RCT方法论的能力将导致改进的研究基础，从而促进干预措施的开发和测试，从而提高康复服务的有效性。
