项目摘要

There is a critical need to grow and strengthen the pipeline of physician scientists who have expertise in sociomedical and behavioral research and are dedicated to addressing the nation's challenges posed by Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The Indiana ADRD Medical Scientist Training Program (IADRD MSTP) was conceived to meet this need. This application leverages the strengths of our robust infrastructure of ADRD research, world class graduate training programs in medical neurosciences and sociology, and our existing MD-PhD program at Indiana University School of Medicine to train the next generation of physician scientists who will become leaders in ADRD research. The Aims of the IADRD MSTP are: 1) To recruit and train a competitive pool of diverse students who espouse a strong interest and commitment to social and behavioral research and patient care focused on Alzheimer's disease and related dementias; 2) To engage MD-PhD students early in mentored sociomedical and behavioral research that integrates Indiana University's systems-based medical training curriculum with our cutting edge ADRD research that reinforces commitment and minimizes attrition of physician-scientists ADRD; and 3) To graduate students with dual MD-PhD degrees with strong methodological training in social and behavioral science and experts in ADRD who will be competitive for residency and be successful independent investigators at the best academic medical centers nationwide. To achieve these aims, we will develop an MD-PhD training program with rigorous didactic training in social, behavioral, and clinical research methods, with flexibility to allow students to focus their effort on one methodological area of interest; early initiation of ADRD research experiences with multidisciplinary teams of mentors and advisors; and the provision of educational experiences that enhance students' abilities to become independent researchers. The IADRD MSPT will leverage the existing ADRD sociomedical, behavioral and clinical research infrastructure at Indiana University that has a current portfolio of over $408 million in funded research and our internationally recognized and ranked doctoral programs in Medical Neurosciences and Sociology to identify, train, mentor, and successfully graduate two MD-PhD students per year. The program will be administratively successful with both its own independent group of faculty advisors and its organizational integration with the existing successful MD-PhD program within the IUSM that has an eleven-year track record of success and is supported by the NIH, Dean's office, Indiana CTSI, and a dedicated $10M endowment to the program.

在拥有专业知识的医师科学家的渠道中，迫切需要增长和加强渠道社会医学和行为研究，致力于应对国家的挑战阿尔茨海默氏病和相关痴呆症（ADRD）。印第安纳州ADRD医学科学家培训计划（IADRD MSTP）被构想以满足这一需求。该应用程序利用了我们强大的优势 ADRD研究的基础设施，医学神经科学领域的世界一流研究生培训计划社会学，以及我们在印第安纳大学医学院现有的MD-PHD计划训练下一个一代医师科学家将成为ADRD研究的领导者。 IADRD MSTP的目的是：1）招募和培训一群竞争性的不同学生，这些学生拥护强烈的兴趣和致力于社会和行为研究和患者护理，重点是阿尔茨海默氏病及相关痴呆症； 2）早期让MD-PHD学生参与指导的社会医学和行为研究将印第安纳大学基于系统的医学培训课程与我们的尖端ADRD集成加强承诺并最大程度地减少医师科学家ADRD的损耗的研究； 3）毕业具有双重MD-PHD学位的学生在社会和行为科学方面具有强大的方法学培训， ADRD的专家将在居住中竞争竞争，并取得成功的独立研究者全国学术医疗中心。为了实现这些目标，我们将制定一个MD-PHD培训计划通过在社会，行为和临床研究方法中进行严格的教学培训，并具有灵活性学生将精力集中在一个感兴趣的方法论领域； ADRD研究的早期开始由导师和顾问组成的多学科团队的经验；以及提供教育经验这增强了学生成为独立研究人员的能力。 IADRD MSPT将利用印第安纳大学现有的ADRD社会医学，行为和临床研究基础设施当前的投资组合超过4.08亿美元的资助研究，我们的国际认可和排名博士医学神经科学和社会学方案，以识别，培训，指导和成功毕业两个 MD-PHD学生每年。该计划将在行政上取得成功，这是其自己的独立一组教师顾问及其与现有成功的MD-PHD计划的组织一体化 IUSM拥有11年成功的记录，并得到了印第安纳州院长办公室的支持 CTSI，并为该计划提供了1000万美元的捐款。
