项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): 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. Neurology trainees require protected research time and excellent mentoring during the formative stages of their careers to be able 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. Since 1979, the department has had a T32 for a Clinical Neuroscience Training Program (T32 NS07155), which provided funding for PGY4 residents and first year fellows to learn research methodology and conduct research. Since 2002, we have had a Resident Research Mentorship Program that pairs residents with faculty mentors to work on a research project. These initiatives have been limited, however, by increasing clinical requirements for residents that preclude their participation in 2 year full time commitment required by the T32 mechanism, and by the absence of a systematic approach to providing a concentrated, contiguous block of dedicated research time to work on a research project. The present proposal describes a plan to formalize the resident research experience for at least 1 resident annually who is considered to have exceptional promise to become an independent basic, clinical, or translational neuroscience researcher. The focus will be on a practical, mentor-directed research experience, with limited classroom time, and residents who participate in this program will be optimally situated to compete for mentored career awards (K awards) at the completion of the 2 year training experience bridging residency and fellowship. Dr. Elkind, the Project Director, has independent NIH funding, as well as experience mentoring and reviewing grants, and the faculty of the program are all experienced basic, clinical, or translational researchers. The program will be evaluated primarily by the trainees' success in obtaining K08 and K23 awards, as well as by academic career placement and productivity in publications. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Neurological disorders, including stroke, dementia, epilepsy, and neurodegenerative conditions, are common and cause a significant burden of morbidity and mortality. Laboratory and clinical neuroscience have advanced markedly in recent years, and there is now a growing role for physician-scientists to translate developments in neuroscience into improvement in clinical care. Training young neurologists at a formative stage of their careers in research methods, and encouraging them to consider research as a career, will increase the number of committed, successful physician-scientists. This Research Education Program will provide talented neurology residents with the opportunity to develop research skills that have a high likelihood of reducing the burden of neurological disease.

描述（由申请人提供）：医师科学家越来越需要将基本神经科学的发展转化为临床护理的改善。但是，对于临床医生研究人员而言，获得基本，临床和转化研究的资金变得越来越困难。神经病学学员需要受保护的研究时间和在职业生涯的形成阶段进行出色的指导，以便能够成功竞争指导职业（K奖）和其他赠款。哥伦比亚大学神经病学系一直是将研究纳入居民培训经验的强烈支持者。自1979年以来，该部门拥有T32用于临床神经科学培训计划（T32 NS07155），该计划为PGY4居民和第一年的研究员提供了资金，以学习研究方法论和进行研究。自2002年以来，我们已经制定了一项居民研究指导计划，该计划将居民与教师指导者配对，以从事研究项目。但是，这些举措受到限制，但是，增加了居民的临床要求，这些居民排除了他们参与T32机制所需的2年全职承诺，以及缺乏系统的方法来提供集中，连续的专门研究时间来从事研究项目的工作。本提案描述了一项计划，每年至少有1名居民的居民研究经验，他们被认为具有非凡的承诺成为独立的基本，临床或转化神经科学研究人员。重点将放在课堂时间有限的实用，导师指导的研究经验上，参加该计划的居民将在完成2年培训经验弥补居留权和奖学金的两年培训经验后，将最佳地竞争指导职业奖项（K奖）。项目总监Elkind博士拥有独立的NIH资金，以及经验指导和审查赠款，该计划的教师都是经验丰富的基础，临床或翻译研究人员。该计划将主要由学员在获得K08和K23奖项以及出版物中的学术职业和生产力方面的成功评估。公共卫生相关性：神经系统疾病，包括中风，痴呆，癫痫和神经退行性疾病，是常见的，并引起发病率和死亡率的重大负担。近年来，实验室和临床神经科学已经明显发展，现在医师科学家将神经科学的发展转化为临床护理的改善，越来越多。在研究方法的职业生涯的形成阶段培训年轻的神经科医生，并鼓励他们将研究视为职业，这将增加致力于，成功的医师科学家的数量。该研究教育计划将为才华横溢的神经病学居民提供机会，有机会发展有可能减轻神经系统疾病负担的研究技能。
