DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application seeks to begin funding of a training program at Washington University for physician scientists and select Ph.D. scientists for a career in anesthesiology-related research. Anesthesiology has an increasing impact on overall patient care and outcomes through a comprehensive perioperative care model. However, research that might improve perioperative patient outcomes is limited by the number of well-trained scientists and physicians devoted to a career in anesthesiology research. This application seeks to increase the number of well-trained anesthesiology researchers by instituting a formal training program in anesthesiology research at Washington University, which has one of the largest anesthesiology research programs in the US. The training program will be administered by a program director (PD) and an executive advisory committee (EAC). The largest pool of qualified applicants for the training program will come from newly established Washington University Anesthesiology residency special research track programs that are filled with highly qualified and motivated physician scientists desiring training for a career in academic anesthesiology. Two trainees per year will be enrolled in the program with a training period of approximately two years for each trainee. Trainees will be selected for the program by the PD and EAC through a formal application process that includes a written research proposal and an interview with the PD. A formal plan for recruitment of underrepresented minorities and the disabled will be in place. Trainees judged to have the greatest commitment to a career in anesthesiology-related research and to have the greatest potential to advance the science and/or practice of anesthesiology will be selected. Program faculty have been carefully chosen as mentors for the trainees based on the quality and relevance of their science and demonstrated mentorship experience. A few junior faculty were also included in the program because of the high relevance and importance of their research to anesthesiology; trainees working with junior faculty will also be mentored by select senior faculty. Trainees will be paired with research mentors with the advice of an academic advisor assigned to a potential trainee upon entering residency or fellowship. Trainee-mentor pairing will be reviewed by the PD and EAC for approval. All trainees will be required to take three courses in scientific writing, grantsmanship, and ethical and legal issues in research that are offered by the Washington University Clinical Research Training Center. Trainees having clinical/translational research interests will take additional courses in statistics, clinical research study design, and epidemiology. Trainees will be formally evaluated twice annually by their research mentor, academic advisor, the PD, and the EAC. Emphasis during these evaluations will be placed on attaining milestones such as manuscript and grant submissions and on progress towards development of an independent research program. Likewise, the training program will be evaluated twice annually by the PD and EAC with input from biannual written and oral evaluations by the trainees.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请旨在开始资助华盛顿大学的医师科学家培训项目并选择博士。从事麻醉学相关研究的科学家。通过全面的围手术期护理模式，麻醉学对患者的整体护理和结果产生越来越大的影响。然而，可能改善围手术期患者预后的研究受到致力于麻醉学研究的训练有素的科学家和医生数量的限制。该应用程序旨在通过在华盛顿大学建立正式的麻醉学研究培训计划来增加训练有素的麻醉学研究人员的数量，该大学拥有美国最大的麻醉学研究项目之一。培训计划将由计划总监 (PD) 和执行咨询委员会 (EAC) 管理。培训项目的最大合格申请者将来自新设立的华盛顿大学麻醉学住院医师特别研究项目，这些项目充满了高素质和积极进取的医师科学家，希望接受学术职业培训 麻醉学。每年将招收两名学员，每位学员的培训期约为两年。 PD 和 EAC 将通过正式申请流程选拔学员参加该计划，其中包括书面研究计划和 PD 面试。将制定一项招募代表性不足的少数族裔和残疾人的正式计划。将选择被认为对麻醉学相关研究事业有最大投入并具有推进麻醉学科学和/或实践的最大潜力的学员。项目教师根据其科学的质量和相关性以及所展示的指导经验，被精心挑选为学员的导师。一些初级教师也被纳入该计划，因为他们的研究与麻醉学具有高度相关性和重要性；与初级教师一起工作的受训者也将得到精选高级教师的指导。学员将被配对 与研究导师一起，并在进入住院医师或研究金后分配给潜在实习生的学术顾问的建议。实习生与导师的配对将由 PD 和 EAC 审核并获得批准。所有学员都必须参加华盛顿大学临床研究培训中心提供的三门课程，内容涉及科学写作、资助以及研究中的伦理和法律问题。对临床/转化研究感兴趣的学员将学习统计学、临床研究设计和流行病学方面的额外课程。受训者每年将接受两次由他们的研究导师、学术顾问、PD 和 EAC 的正式评估。这些评估的重点将放在实现里程碑，例如手稿和资助的提交以及独立研究计划的开发进展。同样，培训计划将由 PD 和 EAC 每年评估两次，并根据学员每两年一次的书面和口头评估提供意见。
