DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Musculoskeletal and orthopaedic disorders are highly prevalent, disabling and costly. However research on these conditions is hampered by the lack of a robust pipeline of rigorously trained clinical and translational researchers. The COMET (Clinical Orthopedic and Musculoskeletal Education and Training) Program was launched with NIAMS T32 support in 2008 to bolster opportunities for clinical research training in orthopedic and musculoskeletal conditions. The COMET program was highly successful in its first cycle, with five of six program graduates remaining in academic positions and three of six obtaining K-level NIH Career Development Awards. This application proposes a renewal of the COMET T32 program. We have added four new faculty and four new research units to provide increased clinical, musculoskeletal research opportunities in women's health and skeletal health. The objectives of the COMET T32 training grant is to provide pre- and postdoctoral candidates with a rigorous program of training in clinical, translational, epidemiological and policy research involving musculoskeletal and orthopaedic disorders. The program focuses on prevention, recognition, burden and impact of these disorders and operative and nonoperative treatment. The research areas include osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, regional disorders (spine, knee, shoulder, upper extremity, foot/ankle) bone, joint and soft tissue problems, nerve entrapments, chronic pain and related conditions. The program supports training in a range of complementary disciplines including epidemiology, biostatistics, pharmacoepidemiology, decision sciences, economic analysis, health disparities and behavioral interventions. This application requests funding for two predoctoral and three postdoctoral training positions per year. The trainees spend at least two years in the program. Those without prior formal didactic training obtain a master's degree in the Clinical Effectiveness Program at Harvard School of Public Health. The faculty includes outstanding mentors from Harvard Medical School, Harvard School of Public Health, Brigham and Women's Hospital and other Harvard medical institutions. The faculty members conduct research on a wide range of clinical areas and methodological disciplines. In its initial funding period, the COMET T32 program has begun to fulfill the need for clinical research training opportunities in musculoskeletal disorders. This renewal application builds upon the program's early successes and furthers the overarching programmatic goal of facilitating research to improve the quality of life of persons with musculoskeletal disorders.

描述（由申请人提供）：肌肉骨骼和骨科疾病非常普遍，残疾和昂贵。然而，由于缺乏严格训练的临床和转化研究人员的强大管道，对这些条件的研究受到了阻碍。该彗星（临床骨科和肌肉骨骼教育和培训）计划于2008年启动了NIAMS T32支持，以增强骨科和肌肉骨骼状况的临床研究培训的机会。该彗星计划在其第一个周期中取得了非常成功的成功，六位课程毕业生中有五名担任学术职位，六个获得了K级NIH职业发展奖。该应用程序提出了彗星T32程序的续订。我们增加了四个新的教师和四个新的研究单位，以提供女性健康和骨骼健康的临床，肌肉骨骼研究机会。彗星T32培训补助金的目标是为临床，转化，流行病学和政策研究提供严格的培训计划，涉及肌肉骨骼和骨科疾病。该计划着重于这些疾病以及手术和非手术治疗的预防，认可，负担和影响。研究领域包括骨关节炎，骨质疏松症，区域疾病（脊柱，膝盖，肩膀，上肢，脚/脚踝）骨，关节和软组织问题，神经夹带，慢性疼痛和相关状况。该计划支持在一系列互补学科中进行培训，包括流行病学，生物统计学，药物电子学，决策科学，经济分析，健康差异和行为干预措施。该申请要求每年为两个毒品前和三个博士后培训职位提供资金。学员在该计划中至少花费两年。那些没有事先正式教学培训的人获得了哈佛公共卫生学院的临床有效性计划的硕士学位。该教师包括哈佛医学院，哈佛公共卫生学院，杨百翰和妇女医院以及其他哈佛医疗机构的杰出导师。教职员工对广泛的临床领域和方法论学科进行研究。在最初的资金期间，彗星T32计划已开始满足肌肉骨骼疾病中临床研究培训机会的需求。该续签应用是基于该计划的早期成功，并进一步推进了促进研究以改善肌肉骨骼疾病患者的生活质量的总体计划目标。
