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. 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.

越来越需要医师科学家将基础医学的发展转化为成果神经科学改善临床护理。获得基础、临床和然而，转化研究对于临床医生来说变得越来越困难调查人员。神经病学实习生需要受保护的研究时间和优秀的在职业生涯的形成阶段提供指导，以便能够竞争成功获得指导职业（K 奖）和其他资助。哥伦比亚大学神经内科一直大力支持将研究纳入居民培训经历。自 1979 年以来，该部门拥有用于临床的 T32 神经科学培训计划（T32 NS07155），为 PGY4 提供资金住院医师和一年级研究员学习研究方法并进行研究。自 2002 年以来，我们开展了一项居民研究指导计划，为居民配对与教师导师一起开展研究项目。这些举措受到限制，然而，通过增加对居民的临床要求，妨碍了他们参与 T32 机制要求的 2 年全职承诺，以及缺乏系统的方法来提供集中的、连续的块专门的研究时间致力于研究项目。本提案描述了计划每年将至少 1 名住院医师的住院医师研究经验正规化被认为具有成为独立的基础、临床或转化神经科学研究人员。重点将放在实用的、导师指导的研究经验，有限的课堂时间，以及参与此项目的居民计划将处于最佳位置，以竞争指导职业奖（K 奖）完成为期两年的住院医师和研究金过渡培训经验。博士。项目总监 Elkind 拥有独立的 NIH 资金以及丰富的经验指导和审查补助金，该项目的教师都是经验丰富的基础、临床或转化研究人员。该计划将主要由学员成功获得K08和K23奖项的情况以及学术生涯出版物的安置和生产力。
