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，急性，威胁生命的心肺和血液学疾病的诊断和管理取得了显着进步。但是，越来越多的国家担心，可以将新的研究结果转化为实践的专家急诊医学临床研究人员的数量不足。鉴于细胞和分子水平的前所未有的发展，包括人类基因组的知识，创建和维持急诊医师科学家的干部从未如此重要。非常需要在选择，培训和职业发展方面的创新。范德比尔特大学（Vanderbilt University）在培养训练有素的研究人员方面拥有非常成功的历史，这些研究人员具有愿景和技能，可以从事临床研究的成功职业。一项新的职业发展计划“范德比尔特急诊医学学者计划”将着重于培训和指导医师科学家在所必需的研究的各个方面，以准备与将基础科学转化为急性病或受伤患者的护理改善相关的独特挑战。尽管以临床为导向，但该计划还将强调与基础研究人员合作在假设和设计临床研究方面的重要性。两位新的临床医生是完成居住的居民（或接受博士学位或同等培训的临床医生），并且每年都会接受成功从事学术研究职业的非凡能力。总共六个学者将在任何时候参加。该计划将集中于在四个重点领域发展专业知识：1）急性肺损伤，2）哮喘，3）心律不齐和4）急性冠状动脉综合征和心力衰竭。这些是范德比尔特（Vanderbilt）的国家认可和存在的领域，并将受到生物医学信息学，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的丰富机构优势的支持，以及不断吸引深层，多样化的候选人池。该计划主管，医学博士Douglas B. Sawyer和医学博士Alan B. Storrow召集了每个焦点领域的专家团队，这些专家目前正在从事成功的学术研究，并致力于培训和指导新的调查员。早期（培训导师）和更多的高级研究人员（主要的研究导师）都将与职业发展（学术导师）的专家相结合，以支持学者在独立之路和改善紧急情况的诊断和管理方面的贡献。
