项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Remarkable advances in the diagnosis and management of acute, life-threatening cardiopulmonary and hematologic disorders have occurred in past decades. However, there is growing national concern that expert emergency medicine clinical investigators who can translate new research findings to practice are insufficient in number. It has never been more important to create and maintain a cadre of emergency care physician- scientists, given the unprecedented developments at the cellular and molecular level, including knowledge of the human genome. Innovation in selection, training and career development of new investigators is greatly needed. Vanderbilt University has an extremely successful history in developing well trained researchers who have the vision and skills to embark on successful careers in clinical research. A new career development program, the "Vanderbilt Emergency Medicine Scholars Program" will focus on training and mentoring physician-scientists in all aspects of research necessary to prepare them for the unique challenges associated with translating basic science into care improvements for acutely ill or injured patients. Although clinically oriented, the program will also highlight the importance of collaborating with basic researchers in hypothesizing and designing clinical research. Two new clinician-scientists who have completed residency (or clinicians with PhDs or equivalent training) and who show exceptional aptitude for successfully pursuing an academic research career will be accepted per year. A total of six Scholars will participate at any one time. The program will concentrate on developing expertise in four focus areas: 1) acute lung injury, 2) asthma, 3) arrhythmias, and 4) acute coronary syndromes and heart failure. These are areas of national recognition and presence for Vanderbilt, and will be bolstered by rich institutional strengths in biomedical informatics, comparative effectiveness, pharmacogenomics, our existing emergency medicine research infrastructure, and continual attraction of a deep, diverse candidate pool. The Program Directors, Douglas B. Sawyer, MD and Alan B. Storrow, MD, have assembled a team of experts in each focus area who are currently engaged in successful academic research and who have devoted their careers to training and mentoring new investigators; both early (Mentors-in-Training) and more senior investigators (Primary Research Mentors) will combine with experts in career development (Academic Mentors) to support Scholars on their paths to independence and contribution to improved diagnosis and management of emergencies.

描述（由申请人提供）：过去几十年来，在急性、危及生命的心肺和血液疾病的诊断和治疗方面取得了显着进展。然而，全国范围内越来越多的人担心，能够将新研究成果转化为实践的专家急诊医学临床研究人员数量不足。鉴于细胞和分子水平（包括人类基因组知识）前所未有的发展，建立和维持一支急诊医师科学家队伍变得前所未有的重要。新研究者的选拔、培训和职业发展亟需创新。范德比尔特大学在培养训练有素的研究人员方面拥有极其成功的历史，这些研究人员具有在临床研究领域取得成功职业生涯的远见和技能。 “范德比尔特急诊医学学者计划”是一项新的职业发展计划，将重点培训和指导医师科学家在必要的研究的各个方面，为他们做好准备，应对将基础科学转化为改善急病或受伤患者护理的独特挑战。。尽管以临床为导向，该项目还将强调与基础研究人员合作假设和设计临床研究的重要性。每年将接受两名已完成住院医师实习（或具有博士学位或同等培训的临床医生）并表现出成功从事学术研究职业的非凡能力的新临床医生-科学家。任一时间共有六名学者参加。该计划将集中于发展四个重点领域的专业知识：1）急性肺损伤，2）哮喘，3）心律失常，4）急性冠状动脉综合征和心力衰竭。这些是范德比尔特国家认可和存在的领域，并将得到生物医学信息学、比较有效性、药物基因组学、我们现有的急诊医学研究基础设施以及对深度、多样化候选人库的持续吸引力方面丰富的机构优势的支持。项目主任 Douglas B. Sawyer（医学博士）和 Alan B. Storrow（医学博士）在每个重点领域组建了一支专家团队，他们目前正在从事成功的学术研究，并致力于培训和指导新研究人员；早期（培训导师）和更高级的研究人员（初级研究导师）都将与职业发展专家（学术导师）结合起来，支持学者走上独立之路，并为改进紧急情况的诊断和管理做出贡献。
