DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): It is imperative that we develop a national cadre of clinician scientists to investigate and develop new treatments for patients with hearing and balance disorders. Clinician scientists are faced with the significant challenges of combining a clinic practice with a high caliber research program, and the difficulty of managing such a demanding career leaves few individuals who have success in procuring NIH funding for research. We believe that these clinician scientists would benefit greatly from careful mentorship and guidance in career development and research skill development. This application will create the infrastructure for a national mentoring network, targeting junior faculty clinician-scientists n otolaryngology and related fields that address hearing and balance dysfunction (such as Audiology and Vestibular Sciences). We propose to develop an enduring web-based IT platform that will contain tools for education as well as communication among program staff, mentors and mentees. Through this format we will provide a comprehensive educational program for on all aspects of career development. Most information will target junior faculty mentees. However, another and novel focus of this application is the education of mid-career faculty to become effective mentors. We will create mentorship teams, comprised of a mentee, senior mentor, and 'associate' mentor. Associate mentors are less experienced mentors (mid-career faculty), and will be provided with educational materials and feedback on mentoring skills. Interactions between mentors and mentees will be carefully monitored so that expectations are managed and any conflicts or problems are addressed promptly and effectively. An assessment plan is included, both for discovery of needs and to evaluate effectiveness of the program in the short and long term. Resources that can be provided by professional organizations with similar interests are incorporated where possible to provide added value. The program is directed by a national leadership team and Duke Faculty and staff, and progress is monitored by an External Board comprised of clinician scientists, basic scientists, and mentoring experts. Most interactions are 'virtual', although mentees and mentors will attend one face-to-face meeting per year, and are expected to interact at national meetings that are attended by team members. This pilot program will enroll five mentees for a two year program, each with two mentors who are identified by the mentee working in conjunction with the grant leadership team.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们必须培养一支由临床科学家组成的国家骨干队伍，以研究和开发针对听力和平衡障碍患者的新疗法。临床科学家面临着将临床实践与高水平研究项目相结合的重大挑战，而管理如此高要求的职业的难度使得很少有人能够成功获得 NIH 的研究资金。我们相信，这些临床科学家将从职业发展和研究技能发展方面的认真指导和指导中受益匪浅。该应用程序将为国家指导网络创建基础设施，针对耳鼻喉科和解决听力和平衡功能障碍的相关领域（例如听力学和前庭科学）的初级临床医生科学家。我们建议开发一个持久的基于网络的 IT 平台，其中包含教育工具以及项目工作人员、导师和学员之间的沟通工具。通过这种形式，我们将为职业发展的各个方面提供全面的教育计划。大多数信息将针对初级教师学员。然而，该应用程序的另一个新颖的焦点是教育处于职业生涯中期的教师成为有效的导师。 我们将创建导师团队，由受训者、高级导师和“助理”导师组成。 副导师是经验较少的导师（职业生涯中期的教师），并将为其提供教育材料和有关指导技能的反馈。我们将仔细监控导师和学员之间的互动，以便管理期望并及时有效地解决任何冲突或问题。其中包括评估计划，用于发现需求并评估该计划的短期和长期有效性。尽可能整合具有相似兴趣的专业组织提供的资源，以提供附加值。该项目由国家领导团队和杜克大学教职员工指导，进展情况由临床科学家、基础科学家和指导专家组成的外部委员会监督。大多数互动都是“虚拟的”，尽管受训者和导师每年都会参加一次面对面会议，并且预计会在团队成员参加的全国会议上进行互动。该试点计划将招收五名受训者参加为期两年的计划，每人有两名导师，由受训者与资助领导团队合作确定。
