The Career Development and Training Program, directed by Developmental Director Water Stamm MD ofthe Administrative Core will be used by the NWRCE to increase the number and quality of basic and clinicalresearchers working in biodefense and emerging infectious in Region X (WA, OR, AK, ID). Promisingscientists at the postdoctoral, junior faculty or senior faculty levels throughout Region X who are committedto pursuing a career in biodefense research will be 1) recruited and 2) supported by a one to three yearcareer development award. The purpose of this funding mechanism is to make individuals competitive forother types of research funding for work on pathogens of national interest. Funds will provide for two types ofprograms within the Career Development plan; the Individual Career Development awards to scientistswhich the NWRCE has been administering during the initial award period, and Group Career Developmentand Training. The latter will conduct a continuing medical education (CME) course to educate primary careproviders in Region X regarding the recognition and management of biodefense-related infections -- bothfrom the individual case management and public health perspective. Our overall goal will be to develop andenhance an active and knowledgeable professional cadre to respond to infectious disease emergencies. TheCME course will be undertaken in collaboration with Emergency Response Director Jeffery Duchin MD andthe Puget Sound Seattle King County Health Department as a joint effort of both the Emergency ResponsePlan and the Group Career Development Plan.
