The University of Washington has a tradition of strong, interrelated programs in clinical research at theSchools of Medicine, Dentistry, Nursing, Pharmacy and Public Health & Community Medicine. The goal ofthis Clinical Research Curriculum Award (CRCA) K-30 training program is to enhance the fellowshipprograms offered to physicians and other health care professionals who wish to become independent clinicalresearchers. These individuals will be selected from a pool of almost 450 postdoctoral fellows and juniorfaculty with K-awards. The proposed program has two parallel tracks: 1) Training Grant Support Program(TGP), and 2) Masters Degree Program (DP). Our K-30 will receive guidance from an Oversight Committeeand an Executive Committee (including the PI, Program Director).The DP has a Steering Committee of core faculty to implement its training and educational aims. The DP isacademically located within the School of Public Health & Community Medicine. Five or more fellows areenrolled each year for two years of intense training leading to a Masters degree in Epidemiology or HealthServices. A 'Work-in Progress' seminar series presented by K-30 trainees complements the learningexperience. Each DP fellow must complete a research project with guidance by a mentor.In the TGP, any fellow or junior faculty from the five schools at the Health Sciences Center (HSC) maychoose to participate in three seminar series (basic protocol design, clinical trials design, and meta-analysisfor clinical researchers) developed specifically for the K-30 and based in the General Clinical ResearchCenter (GCRC). Existing lecture and seminar series at HSC are announced on the K-30 website 'BulletinBoard' to encourage and facilitate participation.
