DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This new competing application requests support for establishment of an institutional NRSA in Neurological infectious Diseases at Johns Hopkins University. Neurological infections are a major cause of morbidity and mortality yet currently there are no other training programs in the country focused on neurological infections. We plan to develop a post-doctoral fellowship training program and will provide an exceptional training environment. Our training program is strengthened by the interaction of the following: an interdisciplinary approach to neurological infectious disease; focus on underserved populations, including those in resource limited countries; emphasis on scientific and methodological rigor in the design of patient-oriented or laboratory research; diverse opportunities to conduct ethically sound, community-based research both domestically and internationally; and broad clinical and research expertise in several different areas. We are requesting support for 2 post-doctoral slots during the first year of training, increasing thereafter to 3 post-doctoral slots. The trainees will pursue one of three tracks of training in neurological infections which includes laboratory based research, clinical and translational research or international research. Post-doctoral training will focus on mentored research, either in patient-oriented or laboratory areas, with a faculty advisor guiding research analysis, paper and grant writing. Our approach to training scientists for careers in Neurological Infectious Diseases will emphasize flexibility and a customized training program based on a core curriculum and the availability of the Graduate Training Program in Clinical Investigation. Training faculty has many years of experience with successful post-doctoral training and mentoring neurologists and other clinician-scientists. The success of our training program will be measured by research experiences, plus a wide array of studies and we anticipate that trainees from this program will compete successfully for KOS or K23 funding. These grant funds will provide a core of essential support for our Neurological Infectious Disease Research Training Program. This proposal will fulfill an important and critical need for training a future generation of clinician scientists RELEVANCE: The proposal will create a new training program for clinician scientists In neuro-infectious diseases. Neuroinfectlous diseases are a significant cause of morbidity, mortality and prolonged hospitalization. Yet, the eitiology and pathophysiology of many of these disaeses is poorly understood and no treatemtment is available. This program will be the first of its kind in the country devoted to training the next generation of researchers who specialize in these diseases.

描述（由申请人提供）：这一新的竞争申请要求支持约翰·霍普金斯大学在神经传染病中建立机构NRSA。神经系统感染是发病率和死亡率的主要原因，但目前该国没有其他培训计划专注于神经系统感染。我们计划制定博士后奖学金培训计划，并将提供出色的培训环境。我们的培训计划通过以下各种相互作用来加强：神经系统传染病的跨学科方法；专注于服务不足的人口，包括资源有限国家的人口；强调以患者为导向或实验室研究设计的科学和方法论严格；在国内和国际上，各种各样的机会进行道德良好的，基于社区的研究；以及在几个不同领域的广泛临床和研究专业知识。在培训的第一年，我们要求支持2个博士后插槽，此后增加到3个博士后插槽。学员将追求神经感染培训的三个轨道之一，包括基于实验室的研究，临床和转化研究或国际研究。博士后培训将专注于指导研究的指导研究，并通过教师顾问指导研究分析，论文和赠款写作。我们培训科学家从事神经传染病职业的方法将强调灵活性和基于核心课程的定制培训计划以及临床研究中的研究生培训计划的可用性。培训教师在成功的博士后培训以及指导神经科医生和其他临床医生科学家方面拥有多年的经验。我们的培训计划的成功将通过研究经验以及各种各样的研究来衡量，我们预计该计划的受训者将成功竞争KOS或K23资金。这些赠款资金将为我们的神经系统传染病研究培训计划提供基本支持的核心。该建议将满足培训未来一代临床科学家的重要和关键需求 相关性：该提案将为神经感染疾病的临床医生创建一个新的培训计划。神经感染性疾病是发病率，死亡率和长期住院时间的重要原因。然而，许多这些疾病的遗传学和病理生理学知之甚少，没有治疗方法可用。该计划将是该国第一个专门用于培训专门研究这些疾病的研究人员的研究。
