DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application seeks funding for a one and a half day mentoring symposium entitled "How to Combine Clinical and Research Careers in Neuroscience (CCRCN)". The program is sponsored by the Association of University Professors of Neurology (AUPN) (www.aupn.org), together with the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), the American Neurological Association (ANA) and the Child Neurology Society (CNS). The AUPN is the professional organization for Chairs of Neurology Departments, or Divisions, in accredited medical schools in the United States. Its goal is "excellence in the care of patients with neurological disease by providing superior education to neurology trainees and by expanding knowledge about neurologic diseases." Two other professional organizations, the American Neurological Association (ANA) and The Child Neurology Society (CNS), share AUPN's and NINDS' concerns regarding the decline in the number of clinician-scientists, and have joined AUPN and NINDS financially supporting the CCRCN. The CCRCN symposium was first offered in 2003 by the AUPN and NINDS to meet the urgent need for more clinician-scientists, specifically in neurology. In 2005, JAMA reported that less than 2% of all physicians are scientists and, despite increases in research activity and funding, this number continues to drop. When this program began in 2003, the trend showed two decades of increasing biomedical research funding but an alarming 22% decrease in the clinician-scientist workforce; studies showed that more than a third of medical school graduates with MD/PhD do not realize their original goal of becoming active clinician-scientists. The specific aims for this symposium are to: 1) encourage medical students with neuroscience research training to pursue clinical training (with special emphasis on neurology); 2) describe and discuss strategies for successfully melding clinical and research careers; 3) discuss the satisfactions and power of a combined research and clinical career; 4) describe and discuss sources of, and strategies for, obtaining long term training and research support; and 5) provide an opportunity for students to meet and network with academicians who have successfully combined clinical and research careers in neuroscience. Medical students who may be candidates for combined research and clinical careers in the neurosciences are invited to apply to attend this meeting. The ideal candidate will have completed preclinical training and at least one additional year of neuroscience research training. Further consideration is given to students who have completed some required clinical clerkships, as this is the time when many students will be thinking about further clinical training. This symposium is highly relevant to the mission of NINDS, which is to reduce the burden of neurological disease. This laudable goal is directly supported by the CCRCN which strives to increase the number of well-trained clinician-scientists working to find treatments, and even cures, for neurological diseases.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请寻求资助为期一天半的辅导研讨会，题为“如何结合神经科学的临床和研究职业（CCRCN）”。该计划由大学神经病学教授协会 (AUPN) (www.aupn.org)、国家神经疾病和中风研究所 (NINDS)、美国神经病学协会 (ANA) 和儿童神经病学学会 (www.aupn.org) 赞助。中枢神经系统）。 AUPN 是美国认可医学院神经病学系或分部主任的专业组织。其目标是“通过为神经病学实习生提供优质教育并扩展有关神经系统疾病的知识，为神经系统疾病患者提供卓越的护理。”另外两个专业组织，美国神经病学协会 (ANA) 和儿童神经病学协会 (CNS)，与 AUPN 和 NINDS 一样对临床医生科学家数量下降感到担忧，并加入了 AUPN 和 NINDS 的行列，为 CCRCN 提供财政支持。 CCRCN 研讨会由 APN 和 NINDS 于 2003 年首次举办，以满足对更多临床科学家（特别是神经病学领域）的迫切需求。 2005 年，《美国医学会杂志》报告称，所有医生中只有不到 2% 是科学家，尽管研究活动和资金有所增加，但这一数字仍在持续下降。当该计划于 2003 年开始时，趋势显示二十年来生物医学研究经费不断增加，但临床医生科学家队伍却惊人地减少了 22%；研究表明，超过三分之一的医学博士/博士毕业生没有实现成为活跃的临床医生科学家的最初目标。 本次研讨会的具体目的是： 1）鼓励接受过神经科学研究训练的医学生进行临床训练（特别强调神经病学）； 2）描述和讨论成功融合临床和研究职业的策略； 3）讨论研究和临床职业相结合的满足感和力量； 4）描述和讨论获得长期培训和研究支持的来源和策略； 5）为学生提供与成功结合神经科学临床和研究职业的院士会面和建立联系的机会。 欢迎可能成为神经科学联合研究和临床职业候选人的医学生申请参加本次会议。理想的候选人将完成临床前培训和至少一年的神经科学研究培训。进一步考虑已完成一些所需临床见习的学生，因为这是许多学生考虑进一步临床培训的时候。 本次研讨会与使命高度契合 NINDS的目的是减轻神经系统疾病的负担。这一值得称赞的目标得到了 CCRCN 的直接支持，该委员会致力于增加训练有素的临床医生科学家的数量，致力于寻找神经系统疾病的治疗方法，甚至治愈方法。
