Underrepresented-in-medicine (UIM) physician-neuroscientists, when compared with their representation in the US population, are inadequately represented among medical school faculty, are less likely to receive NIH research awards, and are less likely to be promoted likely due to significant cultural, societal, and financial pressures, as well as restricted access to role models and community support. A well trained and sustained workforce of URM faculty is essential to clinical neurosciences research because URM faculty are more likely to engage in research that affect increasingly diverse communities, help recruit minority individuals for participation in research; and contribute a disproportionate amount of effort to mentoring URM trainees and early career faculty. The Training in Research for Academic Neurologists to Sustain Careers and Enhance the Numbers of Diverse Scholars (TRANSCENDS) program is a collaborative initiative between the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) and the American Academy of Neurology (AAN). TRANSCENDS will offer a two-year innovative, evidence-based mentored learning experience to UIM clinical neuroscientists. The involvement of the AAN brings to this important effort, wide access to neurology disciplines, strong commitment to diversity, volunteer engagement from leaders in the field, worthwhile in-kind resources, and proven experience in implementing high impact programs. Focusing particularly on post-residency subspecialty fellows and early career faculty (no more than 3 years out of training) from among racial/ethnic minorities and individuals with disabilities, the specific aims of the program are: 1) To select and retain a group of highly promising diverse junior faculty or post-residency fellows from a national pool of applicants who are committed to pursuing research careers in the field of clinical neurosciences; 2) To increase mentees' knowledge, skills, and motivation to pursue academic careers through intensive research training (comprehensive online Master of Science in Clinical Research degree program and AAN annual meeting Diversity Poster Session); 3) To enhance mentoring benefits and networking opportunities for UIM Scholars (congruent one-on-one mentoring approach, AAN annual meeting mentoring and networking activities); 4) To evaluate the effectiveness of the Research Education Program. Measures for assessing Scholars' achievements will be monitored following program completion and will include position(s) held; number of presentations at professional meetings and peer-reviewed publications; leadership positions held in academia and public service; and funding for investigator-initiated research projects or career development awards. TRANSCENDS will address a critical deficiency in the academic workforce by mentoring UIM scholars to pursue independent careers in clinical neuroscience research. Successful execution of the program will establish a network of 24 well-trained URM neuroscientists, as well as a broader community of diverse clinical neuroscientists fully engaged in clinical neuroscience research, thereby expanding our collective capacity to reduce the burden of neurological diseases and build several next generations of UIM neurologists.

与他们在美国人口中的代表性相比，医学界代表性不足（UIM）的医师神经科学家在医学院教师中的代表性不足，获得 NIH 研究奖项的可能性较小，并且由于显着的原因而不太可能得到晋升文化、社会和财务压力，以及获得榜样和社区支持的机会有限。训练有素且持续的 URM 教职人员队伍对于临床神经科学研究至关重要，因为 URM 教职人员更有可能参与影响日益多样化的社区的研究，帮助招募少数族裔参与研究；并为指导 URM 学员和早期职业教师付出了不成比例的努力。学术神经学家研究培训以维持职业生涯并增加多元化学者数量 (TRANSCENDS) 计划是南卡罗来纳医科大学 (MUSC) 和美国神经病学学会 (AAN) 之间的一项合作计划。 TRANSCENDS 将为 UIM 临床神经科学家提供为期两年的创新、循证指导学习体验。 AAN 的参与为这项重要工作带来了影响，包括对神经学学科的广泛接触、对多样性的坚定承诺、该领域领导者的志愿者参与、有价值的实物资源以及在实施高影响力项目方面的成熟经验。该计划特别关注来自少数族裔/族裔和残疾人的住院医师专科研究员和早期职业教职人员（培训时间不超过 3 年），其具体目标是： 1) 选择并保留一批来自全国申请者库中的非常有前途的多元化初级教师或住院医师后研究员，他们致力于在临床神经科学领域从事研究职业； 2) 通过强化研究培训（全面的在线临床研究理学硕士学位课程和 AAN 年会多样性海报会议），提高学员的知识、技能和追求学术职业的动力； 3) 增强UIM学者的指导福利和交流机会（一致的一对一指导方法、AAN年会指导和交流活动）； 4) 评估研究教育计划的有效性。评估学者成就的措施将在项目完成后进行监测，并将包括所担任的职位；在专业会议和同行评审出版物上的演讲次数；在学术界和公共服务部门担任领导职务；以及为研究者发起的研究项目或职业发展奖项提供资金。 TRANSCENDS 将通过指导 UIM 学者在临床神经科学研究中追求独立职业来解决学术队伍的严重缺陷。该计划的成功执行将建立一个由 24 名训练有素的 URM 神经科学家组成的网络，以及更广泛的由全面从事临床神经科学研究的多元化临床神经科学家组成的社区，从而扩大我们减轻神经系统疾病负担的集体能力，并建立一些下一代神经系统疾病的治疗方法。 UIM 几代神经科医生。
