AbstractChronic non-communicable diseases (NCD) are the most significant causes of death globally. In Thailand, NCDs have increased 10.4% and 11%, respectively, since 2002. Thus, there is a compelling need in Thailand to enhance the capacity for research aimed at improving both NCD prevention and care. A survey was conducted of current multi-disciplinary doctorally prepared faculty (n=115) to determine perceived NCD research training needs. The results of this survey showed that the greatest exposure to NCD was in clinical practice, followed by teaching NCD content, and then research. Few researchers published their findings in journals. All responders reported needing significant support in research design, methods and statistical analysis procedures. These results were used to guide the development of a post-doctoral training program for NCD research in Thailand. After three years of the training program, we found that trainee applicants’ preferences and choices were aligned with the original survey-based planning.

Abstract Background The American University of Beirut Medical Center (AUBMC) developed the Fellowship and Residency Research Program (FRRP) to provide residents and clinical fellows with a supervised and structured research experience. Objective To explore the views of FRRP participants about the training program and how to enhance it. Methods We conducted a qualitative study targeting residents in one of the post-graduate training programs at AUBMC. We invited potential participants through email and via snowball sampling. We continued the data collection until we reached data saturation. We used a thematic analysis to identify emerging themes. Results Four themes emerged from the content analysis: expectations of residents, coordination, mentorship, and capacity building. Residents expected the FRRP to provide them with capacity building activities in conducting research since they perceived themselves as novice researchers. In terms of coordination, few residents complained that the deadlines to submit the deliverables are not evenly distributed across the years, so they suggested moving the deadlines earlier to give more time to address any challenges. In terms of mentorship, participants appreciated the flexibility in choosing the mentor and the ability to choose their own research question in agreement with their mentor, however, they thought that there were few faculty members who conducted research and some lacked commitment due to either being busy or travelling, resulting in the slowing of their progress. In terms of capacity building activities, the participants found the lecture series, both real time and virtual, to be helpful and they were satisfied with the topics of the lectures. Finally, participants pointed out that the FRRP program is very supportive and most of them thought it should be mandatory. Conclusion In order to provide residents and clinical fellows with a supervised and structured research experience, we have built on our findings to introduce several changes to our program such as ensuring the availability and commitment of faculty mentors, providing capacity building activities to the program participants and revising the program educational offerings to better cover the ABCs of research using mostly interactive and hands on sessions.

Purpose – This study explored attrition from a novice health researcher training program. The aim of this paper was to identify factors contributing to attrition from the RRCBP that if understood could decrease attrition from this standalone researcher training program. Design/methodology/approach – Using a capacity building framework, this case-control study compared demographic characteristics and features of 30 withdrawn research trainees to 68 graduated trainees from the Rural Research Capacity Building Program, run by the Health Education and Training Institute of New South Wales, Australia between 2006 and 2010. Data were analysed using Exact Logistic Regression, Chi-square and Fisher's Exact tests. Findings – An attrition rate of 29 per cent was associated with a range of individual, organisational and supra-organisational factors. Withdrawals occurred prior to ethics submission (n=13, 43 per cent), after unsuccessful ethics submission (n=8, 27 per cent), or after receiving ethics approval (n=9, 30 per cent). Clinicians were less likely to withdraw than non-clinical staff (p=0.03). Profession, project ownership, funding sources and type of research were not significant factors in attrition, while the effect of location was mixed indicating a potential impact of peer support networks in areas with high numbers of trainees. Practical implications – This research demonstrates attrition from a research training program is associated with trainees receiving appropriate and timely support. In the formative stages researchers require support, particularly those working in professional or geographical isolation. Originality/value – This study is the first of its kind in examining in detail reasons for withdrawal from a standalone research training program and will allow coordinators of similar programs to target support to vulnerable research trainees at critical time points.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: 1.Assess the institutional and individual training needs and gaps in the conduct of human research for PIs at the University of Minnesota.2.Define the training program’s learning objectives.3.Develop and implement an in-person training session that addresses the gaps.METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Establish a planning committeeIdentify required and optional training that is already available for PIs, then determine gapsUnderstand research training needs based on conversations with departmental and human research protection program leaders.Develop learning objectives and curriculum based on Federal and Local regulations, guidelines, and policies.Establish a feedback loop regarding research compliance with the HRPP, to assess trends and ensure continuous improvement.Evaluate the training program’s participants using confidence and satisfaction measures.RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Developed and piloted a 90-minute in-person training program entitled “PI Primer” with the goals of: Increasing awareness and knowledge of the role and responsibilities of the Principal Investigator (PIs) according to the International Harmonization for Good Clinical Practice (ICH-GCP), Federal Regulations (FDA, DHHS, ect.), and University of Minnesota Policies.Identifying root causes for receiving an FDA 483 (inspection findings).Addressing and preventing common inspection findings (CAPA).Describe individual and institutional conflict of interest (COI), and identify the key steps necessary to manage COIs.DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: OHRP’s guidance on the “Responsibilities of Investigators” states that it is the Institution’s responsibility to provide human research training on a wide variety of topics to ensure the ethical conduct of research and protection of participants. PI Primer provides an in-person forum for investigators to build upon required responsible conduct of research and good clinical practice training to be able to apply the role and responsibilities of a PI to their own research. PI Primer also establishes a network of PIs in order to enhance connectivity and shared learning.

Early Detection And Diagnosis

Leukemia   disease   is one   of    the   leading   causes   of death   among   human. Its  cure  rate and  prognosis   depends   mainly   on  the  early  detection   and  diagnosis  of   the  disease. At  the  moment, identification  of  blood  disorders  is  through   visual  inspection  of  microscopic  images  by  examining  changes  like  texture, geometry, colour  and   statistical  analysis  of  images . This  project  aims  to  preliminary  of  developing  a  detection  of  leukemia  types  using   microscopic  blood  sample using MATLAB. Images  are  used  as  they  are  cheap  and  do  not  expensive  for testing  and  lab  equipment.

The article considers the students’ tolerance as a spectrum of personal manifestations of respect, acceptance and correct understanding of the rich diversity of cultures of the world, values of others’ personality. The purpose of the study is to investgate education and the formation of tolerance among the students. We have compiled a training program to improve the level of tolerance for interethnic differences. Based on the statistical analysis of the data obtained, the most important values that are significant for different levels of tolerance were identified.
