DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This training program is designed to provide qualified physicians and doctoral level scientists the training necessary to permit them to become leaders in rehabilitation research. The program described in this Phase 2 MENTOR Award application has been refined and improved from the program described for the previous funding period but remains the same in nature, structure, purpose and areas of focus. The five tracks (Biomechanics; Biostatistics/ Epidemiology/ Health Services Research; Multiple Sclerosis; Neuromuscular Disease; and Pain) are unchanged from the previous funding period as they continue to meet the goal of optimizing the combination of the needs of important areas of rehabilitation research with the strongest clinical, educational and research resources of the applicant institution. Each track is tailored to the specific needs of a trainee but each begins with the trainees initially working for a limited time under close supervision of their mentors on ongoing research projects relevant to their interests. Trainees are then expected to (1) progress to beginning their own, self initiated, projects; (2) become capable of sustained individual research; and (3) submit quality NIH grant applications by the end of their training period. The program leadership and faculty remain largely unchanged from the previous funding period. As was true previously faculty members continue to be chosen according to strict criteria which include (1) national and international prominence in rehabilitation related research; (2) exceptional training facilities; (3) a track record of successful collaborative work and research training; and (4) the availability to supervise and mentor the trainee's research. Support is requested to continue funding for five trainees for the additional five years permitted by the Phase 2 MENTOR Award. Traineeships will be two-, extendible to three- (upon mutual agreement of trainee and mentor) year periods. Physicians who have recently completed residency training in rehabilitation-related fields (e.g., Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Neurology and Orthopedics) and Ph.D.s in specialties relevant to rehabilitation (e.g., Physical Therapy, Psychology and Biomechanics) are eligible for consideration. Successful candidates will be selected on the basis of academic record, research experience, career goals, letters of recommendation and motivation for a career in academic rehabilitation. Recruitment efforts will be coordinated with the Mayo Office of Minority Student Affairs to maximize recruitment of women and under-represented minorities. The research facilities of the track mentors continue to be the primary training facilities of this grant with additional facilities for animal housing, engineering, and statistical support as necessary. In addition, while each track takes advantage of the education resources of the Mayo Clinic in general, trainees are expected to participate in the academic activities of our Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation department.

描述（由申请人提供）：该培训计划旨在为合格的医师和博士学位科学家提供允许他们成为康复研究的领导者所需的培训。本第2阶段指导奖申请中描述的计划已从上述资金期间所述的计划中进行了完善和改进，但在本质，结构，目的和重点领域仍然相同。五个曲目（生物力学；生物统计学/流行病学/健康服务研究；多发性硬化症；神经肌肉疾病；和疼痛）从上一个融资期开始不变，因为它们继续满足了康复研究重要领域与最强大的临床，教育，教育和研究资源的需求相结合的目标。每个曲目都是根据受训者的特定需求来量身定制的，但每个曲目都是从学员开始在有限的时间内在其导师的密切监督下进行与其利益相关的正在进行的研究项目的工作。然后，期望受训人员（1）发展自己，自我发起的项目； （2）能够持续的个人研究； （3）在培训期结束之前提交高质量的NIH赠款申请。计划领导和教职员工在上一个资金期间基本保持不变。如前所述，根据严格的标准继续选择教职员工，包括（1）康复相关研究的国家和国际知名度； （2）杰出的培训设施； （3）成功的协作工作和研究培训的记录； （4）监督和指导学员的研究的可用性。要求支持继续为五名学员提供资金，以获得第二阶段导师奖允许的五年。培训将是两年的两年（根据受训者和导师的共同协议）年度两年。最近已经完成了与康复相关领域（例如，物理医学和康复，神经病学和骨科）以及与康复有关的专业（例如物理疗法，心理学，心理学和生物力学有关的专业）的居住培训的医师。成功的候选人将根据学术记录，研究经验，职业目标，推荐信和学业康复职业的动力进行选择。招聘工作将与梅奥少数族裔学生事务办公室协调，以最大程度地提高妇女招募和代表性不足的少数民族。轨道导师的研究设施继续是该赠款的主要培训设施，并在必要时提供了其他用于动物住房，工程和统计支持的设施。此外，虽然每条轨道总体上利用了梅奥诊所的教育资源，但学员有望参加我们的物理医学和康复部门的学术活动。
