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.

与美国人口的代表性相比，医学院教师的代表性不足，医学院教师的代表性不足，不太可能获得NIH研究奖，并且由于重要的文化，社会，社会和财务压力以及对作用模型的限制和社区的支持，因此不足以促进NIH的研究奖。训练有素且持续的URM教师劳动力对于临床神经科学研究至关重要，因为URM教师更有可能从事影响越来越多样化社区的研究，帮助招募少数人参加研究；并为指导URM学员和早期职业教师做出了不成比例的努力。学术神经病学研究者的培训以维持职业并增加了各种学者（超越）计划的数量是南卡罗来纳州医科大学（MUSC）与美国神经学会（AAN）之间的合作计划。超越将为UIM临床神经科学家提供两年的创新，基于证据的指导学习经验。 AAN的参与带来了这一重要的努力，对神经病学学科的广泛访问，对多样性的坚定承诺，该领域领导者的志愿者参与，值得实现的资源以及实施高影响力计划的经验丰富的经验。在种族/族裔少数群体和残疾人中，特别关注居住后的亚科和早期职业教师（不超过3年的培训），该计划的具体目的是：1）选择并保留了一群高度有希望的多元化初级教职员工或后期培训后的NE NE NE群落群体，这些专家的临床保健服务是从事研究生的专家，从而追求专业的研究人员，从而追求研究人员，从而追求这些专业的研究人员，从而追求了这些专业的研究。 2）通过强化研究培训（综合临床研究学位课程和AAN年度会议多样性海报会议）来提高受训者的知识，技能和动力来从事学术职业。 3）增加UIM学者的指导福利和网络机会（一致的一对一指导方法，AAN年度会议指导和网络活动）； 4）评估研究教育计划的有效性。在计划完成后将监控评估学者成就的措施，并包括持有的职位；专业会议和同行评审出版物的演讲数量；在学术界和公共服务中担任领导职务；以及研究人员发动的研究项目或职业发展奖的资金。超越将通过指导UIM学者从事临床神经科学研究中的独立职业来解决学术劳动力的严重缺陷。该计划的成功执行将建立一个由24个受过良好训练的URM神经科学家组成的网络，以及一个全面参与临床神经科学研究的各种临床神经科学家的更广泛的社区，从而扩大了我们的集体能力，以减少神经系统疾病的负担并建立几代UIM神经病学家。
