项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY The proposed research program seeks to establish a formal training paradigm to support USC neurosurgery residents in pursuit of successful academic careers as clinician-scientists. Physician-scientists are uniquely positioned to address many challenges at the forefront of medicine today. However, due to constraints on time, opportunity, and support, the number of neurosurgeons engaged in meaningful research has declined substantially. The USC R25 Neurosurgery Research Education Program provides the resources, mentorship, and support required to address this gap. The Neurosurgery Department has a strong track record of training productive academic neurosurgeons with active research programs. Recently, USC has recruited multiple transformative, senior faculty members within the neuroscience disciplines. Each of these Institute/ Center Directors has developed strong collaborations with the USC Neurosurgery department and is a mentor/ advisor on this training grant. The USC Neurosurgery Research Education Program incorporates thirty-five faculty members from seventeen different academic departments across the university. Mentors are clinicians and scientists with federal/ foundational funding and prior records notable for successful mentorship. A multi-tiered mentorship system affords each trainee a research supervisor for his/her direct investigative study, direction from a Neurosurgery Research Mentorship Committee and career development guidance from team of clinician-scientists within the candidate's chosen neurosurgery/ neuroscience subspecialty. An educational program is tailored towards developing successful clinician-scientists. This includes a short introductory seminar series and monthly, semi-structured, mentorship sessions with senior clinician-scientists involved with the R25 program. A Transition to Academic Faculty Committee provides sustained guidance and oversight to R25 graduates during their final years of residency training and initial junior faculty appointment. An External Advisory Committee of senior investigators (institutional and national) with strong training program experience assists in guiding the program. The over-arching aim of the proposal is to develop neurosurgeon-scientists capable of securing NIH K-, and ultimately R-, series funding to support independent research.

项目概要拟议的研究计划旨在建立一个正式的培训范例来支持南加州大学神经外科作为临床医生科学家追求成功学术生涯的住院医师。医生兼科学家是独一无二的旨在解决当今医学前沿的许多挑战。但由于时间有限，机会和支持，从事有意义的研究的神经外科医生的数量有所下降基本上。 USC R25 神经外科研究教育计划提供资源、指导、以及弥补这一差距所需的支持。神经外科拥有良好的培训记录富有成效的学术神经外科医生，拥有活跃的研究项目。最近，南加州大学招募了多名神经科学学科内具有变革性的高级教职人员。这些研究所/中心中的每一个董事与南加州大学神经外科部门建立了牢固的合作关系，并且是导师/顾问这笔培训补助金。南加州大学神经外科研究教育计划由 35 名教职人员组成成员来自全校十七个不同的学术部门。导师是临床医生和拥有联邦/基金会资助且之前有成功指导记录的科学家。一个多层的导师制为每位学员提供一名研究主管，负责他/她的直接调查研究、指导来自神经外科研究指导委员会和团队的职业发展指导候选人选择的神经外科/神经科学亚专业内的临床医生科学家。一个有教育意义的该计划专为培养成功的临床医生科学家而定制。这包括一个简短的介绍研讨会系列和每月一次的半结构化辅导课程，由资深临床医生-科学家参与 R25计划。向学术委员会的过渡提供持续的指导和监督 R25 毕业生正在接受住院医师培训的最后几年和最初的初级教师任命。外部由具有丰富培训计划经验的高级研究人员（机构和国家）组成的咨询委员会协助指导该计划。该提案的首要目标是培养神经外科医生科学家能够获得 NIH K 系列资金，并最终获得 R 系列资金来支持独立研究。
