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）：这项新的竞争性申请请求支持在约翰·霍普金斯大学建立神经传染病机构 NRSA。神经感染是发病和死亡的主要原因，但目前该国没有其他针对神经感染的培训计划。我们计划制定博士后奖学金培训计划，并将提供特殊的培训环境。我们的培训计划通过以下方面的相互作用得到加强：神经传染病的跨学科方法；重点关注服务不足的人群，包括资源有限国家的人群；在设计以患者为导向的研究或实验室研究时强调科学和方法的严谨性；在国内和国际上进行符合道德规范、基于社区的研究的各种机会；以及多个不同领域的广泛临床和研究专业知识。我们请求在培训的第一年提供 2 个博士后名额的支持，此后增加到 3 个博士后名额。学员将接受神经感染培训的三个方向之一，包括实验室研究、临床和转化研究或国际研究。博士后培训将侧重于指导性研究，无论是在以患者为导向的领域还是在实验室领域，由一名教师顾问指导研究分析、论文和资助写作。我们培训神经传染病科学家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研究生培训计划的可用性。培训教师拥有多年成功的博士后培训和指导神经科医生和其他临床科学家的经验。我们的培训计划的成功将通过研究经验以及广泛的研究来衡量，我们预计该计划的学员将成功竞争 KOS 或 K23 资金。这些赠款将为我们的神经传染病研究培训计划提供核心的必要支持。该提案将满足培训下一代临床科学家的重要且关键的需求 相关性：该提案将为神经传染病领域的临床科学家创建一个新的培训计划。神经感染性疾病是发病率、死亡率和长期住院的重要原因。然而，人们对许多这些疾病的病因学和病理生理学知之甚少，并且没有可用的治疗方法。该项目将是该国第一个此类项目，致力于培训专门研究这些疾病的下一代研究人员。
