BACKGROUND The prevalence of kidney disease is rising in Canada, and new approaches to prevention, diagnosis, and treatment are required. A kidney research training strategy, which enhances capacity while fostering collaboration and knowledge translation, may help to address this health care problem. PURPOSE This manuscript describes the Kidney Research Scientist Core Education and National T...

The overarching aim of the project is to develop a noninvasive biopsy system that can image the molecular signatures of a disease in its in vivo native state, in 3D, and throughout the progression of the disease. A focused ultrasound-based drug delivery system will be used to noninvasively and locally deliver normally impermeable targeted MRI contrast agents across the capillaries of a target d...

Here we give a brief survey of o-minimal homology and cohomology theory with emphasis on the applications to o-minimal generalizations of the Jordan-Brouwer separation theorem and to degree theory for definable continuous maps. ∗Supported by the FCT grant SFRH/BPD/6015/2001 while a post-doctoral research fellow at the Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford, and partially by the European R...

The following address was given as the Distinguished Neuropsychologist Award Presentation and Acceptance Speech at the 15th annual conference of the National Academy of Neuropsychology, San Francisco, November 2, 1995. Substantive issues discussed include: (a) the threatened loss of the clinical in clinical neuropsychology; (b) post-doctoral training and job market dilemmas in 1995; (c) profici...

We discuss the status of the scientist-practitioner model in marriage and family therapy (MFT) doctoral programs. Issues discussed include a lack of faculty research role models in doctoral programs, "farming out" the majority of research courses to other disciplines, problems with curriculum, and how the culture of MFT does not support research. We also present suggestions for improving doctor...

Doctoral education is one of the main contributors to scientific development through the training of new generations of scientists. In this context the traditional European individual doctoral study program is questioned as being appropriate to meet the challenges of research training in a competitive market. As a consequence one can observe a tendency towards structured programs with doctoral ...

In recent years, we have seen a new concern with ethics training for research and development professionals. Although ethics training has become more common, the effectiveness of the training being provided is open to question. In the present effort, a new ethics training course was developed that stresses the importance of the strategies people apply to make sense of ethical problems. The effe...
