The ability to make innovative discoveries in a scientific field such as clinical neuroscience is increased when its community of researchers has varying approaches, backgrounds, and experiences. However, diverse and underrepresented minority (URM) physician-neuroscientists, when compared with their representation in the US population, are inadequately represented among medical school faculty, are less likely to receive NIH research awards, and are less likely to be promoted likely due to significant cultural, societal, and financial pressures, as well as restricted access to role models and community support. A well- trained and sustained workforce of URM faculty is essential to clinical neurosciences research because URM faculty are more likely to engage in research that affect increasingly diverse communities, help recruit minority individuals for participation in research; and contribute a disproportionate amount of effort to mentoring URM trainees and early career faculty. The Training in Research for Academic Neurologists to Sustain Careers and Enhance the Numbers of Diverse Scholars (TRANSCENDS) program is a collaborative initiative between the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) and the American Academy of Neurology (AAN). TRANSCENDS will offer a two-year innovative, evidence-based mentored learning experience to URM clinical neuroscientists. The involvement of the AAN brings to this important effort, wide access to neurology disciplines, strong commitment to diversity, volunteer engagement from leaders in the field, worthwhile in-kind resources, and proven experience in implementing high- impact programs. Focusing particularly on post-residency subspecialty fellows and early career faculty (no more than 3 years out of training) from among racial/ethnic minorities and individuals with disabilities, the specific aims of the program are: 1) To select and retain a group of highly promising diverse junior faculty or post-residency fellows from a national pool of applicants who are committed to pursuing research careers in the field of clinical neurosciences; 2) To increase mentees' knowledge, skills, and motivation to pursue academic careers through intensive research training (comprehensive online Master of Science in Clinical Research degree program and AAN annual meeting Diversity Poster Session); 3) To enhance mentoring benefits and networking opportunities for URM Scholars (congruent one-on-one mentoring approach, AAN annual meeting mentoring and networking activities); 4) To evaluate the effectiveness of the Research Education Program. Measures for assessing Scholars’ achievements will be monitored following program completion, and will include position(s) held; number of presentations at professional meetings and peer-reviewed publications; leadership positions held in academia and public service; and funding for investigator-initiated research projects or career development awards. TRANSCENDS will address a critical deficiency in the academic workforce by mentoring URM scholars to pursue independent careers in clinical neuroscience research. Successful execution of the program will establish a network of 24 well-trained URM neuroscientists, as well as a broader community of diverse clinical neuroscientists fully engaged in clinical neuroscience research, thereby expanding our collective capacity to reduce the burden of neurological diseases and build several next generations of URM neuroscientists.

在临床等科学领域做出创新发现的能力 当神经科学的研究人员群体采用不同的方法时，神经科学就会得到发展， 然而，多元化且代表性不足的少数群体 (URM) 与他们在美国人口中的代表性相比，医生神经科学家 医学院教师代表性不足，接受 NIH 研究的可能性较小 奖项，并且由于重大的文化、社会和影响而不太可能晋升 财务压力，以及获得榜样和社区支持的机会有限。 训练有素且持续的 URM 教职人员队伍对于临床神经科学研究至关重要 因为 URM 教师更有可能从事影响日益多样化的研究 社区，帮助招募少数群体参与研究并做出贡献； 为指导 URM 学员和早期职业教师付出了不成比例的努力。 为学术神经科医生提供研究培训以维持职业并增加数量 多元化学者 (TRANSCENDS) 计划是医学界之间的一项合作倡议 南卡罗来纳大学 (MUSC) 和美国神经病学学会 (AAN)。 TRANSCENDS 将提供为期两年的创新、循证指导学习体验 URM 临床神经科学家的参与为这项重要的工作带来了广泛的成果。 接触神经学学科、对多样性的坚定承诺、志愿者的参与 该领域的领导者、宝贵的实物资源以及实施高 特别关注住院医师培训后的专业研究员和早期职业生涯。 来自种族/族裔少数群体和个人的教员（培训时间不超过 3 年） 该计划的具体目标是： 1) 选择并留住一批高度 有前途的来自全国申请者库中的多元化初级教师或实习后研究员 致力于临床神经科学领域的研究事业 2) 增加 学员通过强化学习追求学术生涯的知识、技能和动力 研究培训（综合在线临床研究理学硕士学位 计划和 AAN 年会多元化海报会议）；3）增强指导效益 以及为 URM 学者提供的交流机会（一致的一对一指导方法， AAN 年会辅导和联谊活动）；4) 评估有效性 研究教育计划。 计划完成后进行监测，并将包括所担任的职位数量； 在专业会议和同行评审出版物上的演讲； 在学术界和公共服务部门举行；以及资助研究者发起的研究项目或 职业发展奖将解决学术上的严重缺陷。 通过指导 URM 学者在临床神经科学领域追求独立职业来培养劳动力 该计划的成功执行将建立一个由 24 个训练有素的 URM 组成的网络。 神经科学家以及更广泛的不同临床神经科学家社区充分参与 临床神经科学研究，从而扩大我们的集体能力，以减少 神经系统疾病的负担并培养几位下一代 URM 神经科学家。
