项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this K01 Mentored Research Scientist Development Award is to promote the candidate's development as an independent researcher in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) with a focus on chronic disease management among underserved populations. Dr. Chao's long-term career goal is to bridge public health and CAM to improve quality of life among underserved populations living with chronic conditions, such as diabetes. Towards this end, the proposed mentored research for this K01 award is to design, implement, and evaluate an acupuncture group-based intervention to improve quality of life among underserved patients with painful diabetic neuropathy. To support this research and Dr. Chao's goal of independent CAM research, this K01 application includes formal, mentored training through coursework and tailored tutorials in clinical research methodologies, practice-based acupuncture research, diabetes management and quality of life among underserved populations, and responsible conduct of research. This training will be applied to research with two Specific Aims: (1) to develop a standardized acupuncture protocol for painful diabetic neuropathy through formal treatment manualization; and (2) to evaluate acceptability, feasibility, and preliminary efficacy of group acupuncture for painful diabetic neuropathy among underserved patients. The University of California, San Francisco is an ideal environment for the proposed training because it provides access to experts in both CAM and diabetes management among underserved populations and close affiliation with San Francisco General Hospital, an urban safety net hospital serving a low-income, ethnically diverse population. Completion of the proposed research and career development activities will inform the development of an R01 application and ensure Dr. Chao's ability to conduct independent research on CAM therapies to improve quality of life among underserved populations.

描述（由申请人提供）：K01 指导研究科学家发展奖的目的是促进候选人作为补充和替代医学 (CAM) 独立研究人员的发展，重点关注服务不足人群的慢性病管理。赵博士的长期职业目标是在公共卫生和 CAM 之间架起桥梁，以提高患有糖尿病等慢性病的服务不足人群的生活质量。为此，K01 奖拟议的指导研究是设计、实施和评估基于针灸小组的干预措施，以改善服务不足的患有疼痛性糖尿病神经病变的患者的生活质量。为了支持这项研究和 Chao 博士独立 CAM 研究的目标，这个 K01 应用程序包括通过课程作业和定制教程进行正式的指导培训，涉及临床研究方法、基于实践的针灸研究、糖尿病管理和服务不足人群的生活质量，并负责进行研究。该培训将应用于具有两个具体目标的研究：（1）通过正式的治疗手册化，制定针对疼痛性糖尿病神经病变的标准化针灸方案； (2) 评估团体针灸治疗服务不足的患者中疼痛性糖尿病神经病变的可接受性、可行性和初步疗效。加州大学旧金山分校是拟议培训的理想环境，因为它为服务不足的人群提供了接触 CAM 和糖尿病管理方面的专家的机会，并且与旧金山总医院（一家为低收入人群提供服务的城市安全网医院）关系密切。种族多样化的人口。完成拟议的研究和职业发展活动将为 R01 应用程序的开发提供信息，并确保 Chao 博士有能力对 CAM 疗法进行独立研究，以提高服务不足人群的生活质量。
