项目摘要

There is a growing need for physician-scientists to translate developments in basic neuroscience into improvement in clinical care. Obtaining funding for basic, clinical, and translational research, however, has become increasingly difficult for clinician-investigators. Clinical neuroscience trainees require protected research time and mentoring during formative stages of their careers to compete successfully for mentored career (K) awards and other grants. The Columbia University Neurology Department has been a strong proponent of incorporating research into the training experience of residents. Beginning in 1979, the department had a T32 Clinical Neuroscience Training Program, which provided funding for PGY4 residents and first year fellows to learn research methodology. Since 2002, a Resident Research Mentorship Program has paired residents with faculty mentors to work on research, and since 2011 a scholarly project is required for all residents. Beginning in March 2010, this R25 research mentorship program has provided opportunities for 11 residents (9 neurologists, one neurosurgeon, one neuropathologist) to participate in mentored research projects (~mean 1.4 residents per year); another three residents (1 neurologist, 2 neuropathologists) applied for supplements in October 2018. Five residents have completed the R25 experience, including fellowship. Of these 5, all remain involved in research and 4 obtained further funding; three (60%) have applied for K awards, and two (40%) have obtained independent K awards (one K08, one K23); the third obtained a KL2 award and resubmitted his K08 in November 2018. Of the five trainees still in the program, four plan to submit K award proposals within the next 1-2 years. The present proposal describes a plan to continue this formalized resident research experience for at least one resident (Neurology, Neuropathology, or Neurosurgery) annually who is considered to have exceptional promise to become an independent researcher. The focus will be on a practical, mentor-directed research experience, with limited classroom time, and participating residents will continue to be optimally situated to compete for mentored career (K) awards at completion of training. Dr. Elkind, the Program Director/PI, a tenured Professor of Neurology and Epidemiology at Columbia University, has independent NIH funding for clinical research, extensive experience mentoring residents and fellows (including directing an NINDS T32 in Neuroepidemiology), and experience reviewing grants. The newly introduced co-Investigator and co-Director, Dr. James Goldman, is an experienced neuropathologist and NIH- funded laboratory scientist with extensive mentoring experience. The 47 faculty members of the program are all experienced researchers with track records of mentoring. The program will continue to be evaluated primarily by the trainees' success in obtaining K awards, as well as by academic career placement and productivity in publications.

医师科学家越来越需要将基础神经科学的发展转化为改善临床护理。然而，获得基础、临床和转化研究的资金已经对于临床医生-研究者来说变得越来越困难。临床神经科学实习生需要受到保护在职业生涯形成阶段的研究时间和指导，以成功竞争指导职业（K）奖和其他补助金。哥伦比亚大学神经病学系实力雄厚支持将研究纳入住院医生的培训经验中。从 1979 年开始，部门有一个 T32 临床神经科学培训计划，为 PGY4 住院医师提供资金和一年级研究员学习研究方法。自 2002 年以来，常驻研究指导计划已将住院医师与教师导师配对进行研究，自 2011 年起需要一个学术项目为所有居民。从 2010 年 3 月开始，这个 R25 研究指导计划提供了机会 11 名住院医生（9 名神经科医生、1 名神经外科医生、1 名神经病理学家）参与指导研究项目（~平均每年 1.4 名居民）；另外三名住院医生（1名神经科医生、2名神经病理学家）申请了 2018 年 10 月进行补充。五位居民已完成 R25 体验，包括奖学金。的这 5 人均仍在参与研究，其中 4 人获得了进一步的资助；三人（60%）已申请K奖， 2家（40%）获得独立K奖（1家K08、1家K23）；第三个获得了KL2奖并且 2018年11月重新提交了K08。仍在该计划的五名练习生中，有四人计划提交K奖未来1-2年内的提案。目前的提案描述了继续这种正式居民的计划每年至少有一名住院医生（神经内科、神经病理学或神经外科）的研究经验被认为具有成为独立研究员的特殊潜力。重点将放在实际的、导师指导的研究经验，课堂时间有限，参与的居民将完成培训后，继续处于最佳状态，竞争指导职业 (K) 奖项。博士。 Elkind，项目总监/PI，哥伦比亚大学神经病学和流行病学终身教授，拥有独立的 NIH 临床研究资助，以及指导住院医生和研究员的丰富经验（包括指导神经流行病学领域的 NINDS T32），以及审查拨款的经验。新的介绍了联合研究员兼联合主任 James Goldman 博士，他是一位经验丰富的神经病理学家和 NIH- 具有丰富指导经验的资助实验室科学家。该项目的 47 名教职人员是所有经验丰富的研究人员都有指导记录。该计划将继续评估主要是通过学员成功获得 K 奖以及学术职业安置和出版物的生产力。
