项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT This application for the UCLA Resident Scientist Training Program (RSTP) proposes a novel approach to recruiting, training, and retaining clinician-investigators at the level of clinical residency. The overarching goal of the RSTP is to increase the recruitment and retention of qualified clinician-investigators to pursue successful scientific careers in cardiovascular, hematologic, and pulmonary diseases. Our program will focus on promising internal medicine residents from our large program, with deep interest in becoming physician- scientists, but for whom there is neither structured access into the research training pipeline, nor infrastructure and financial support. Our aims will be to: 1) Recruit and select highly qualified residents who are motivated to study cardiovascular, pulmonary, or hematologic sciences, 2) Ensure adequate protected time and supplemental support during residency, 3) Provide intense research training by pairing them with carefully selected leading scientists, and 4) Cultivate commitment through career development training by senior experienced mentors and exposure to our large community of physician-scientist faculty and trainees. This proposal is based on 25 years of successful experience with the UCLA Specialty Training and Advanced Research (STAR) Program in selecting, recruiting, training, and mentoring physician-scientists at the level of clinical fellowship training. An analysis of the first 20 years of that program, which combines clinical fellowship with graduate level research leading to a PhD degree, showed that 80% of its trainees remained in active research careers. This RSTP will be directed by the Founder and Executive Director of the UCLA STAR Program, and while it is a natural extension of the existing program, it is clearly distinct. The RSTP will provide 15 months of protected time for research in basic, translational, or health services/policy research. Each Resident-Scientist will have an Individualized Development Plan crafted by the resident, Research Preceptor, and RSTP leadership. This plan will set the framework for their intense research training, and the basis for evaluating the trainees' progress by an Advisory Committee of UCLA faculty with intimate experience of career development and of administering training grants. Resident-Scientists will be integrated into our existing curriculum for physician-scientist trainees. A total of 6 positions are requested for the 4-year project period, and support will be requested for the research-training component only. Two additional spots will be fully funded by the Department of Medicine. The faculty will include 33 carefully selected Research Preceptors with a track record of sustained extramural funding and mentoring scientists, representing the Cardiovascular, Pulmonary, and Hematology/Oncology divisions, the Schools of Engineering and Public Health, as well as the RAND Graduate School. By building on the same effective research training environment for clinicians that has been successfully employed by STAR Program, this proposal will attract, train, and retain clinician-investigators to address the declining fraction of the scientific workforce represented by physician-scientists.

项目概要/摘要加州大学洛杉矶分校驻地科学家培训计划 (RSTP) 的此申请提出了一种新颖的方法招募、培训和留住临床住院医师级别的临床医生研究员。总体目标 RSTP 的目的是增加合格临床医生研究员的招募和保留，以追求成功心血管、血液和肺部疾病方面的科学事业。我们的计划将重点关注来自我们大型项目的有前途的内科住院医师，对成为医生有着浓厚的兴趣- 科学家，但对他们来说既没有结构化的研究培训渠道，也没有基础设施和财政支持。我们的目标是： 1) 招募和选择高素质的居民有动力学习心血管、肺或血液科学，2) 确保足够的保护时间以及住院期间的补充支持，3）通过与他们配对来提供密集的研究培训精心挑选的顶尖科学家，以及 4) 通过职业发展培训培养承诺经验丰富的资深导师，并接触我们庞大的医师科学家教师和实习生社区。该提案基于 UCLA 专业培训和高级培训 25 年的成功经验研究 (STAR) 计划，旨在选择、招募、培训和指导以下级别的医师科学家临床进修培训。对该项目前 20 年的分析，其中结合了临床研究通过研究生水平的研究获得博士学位，表明 80% 的学员仍然活跃在研究职业。该 RSTP 将由 UCLA STAR 的创始人兼执行董事指导程序，虽然它是现有程序的自然延伸，但它是明显不同的。 RSTP 将提供 15 个月的受保护时间，用于基础研究、转化研究或卫生服务/政策研究。每个住院科学家将拥有由住院医师、研究导师、和 RSTP 的领导。该计划将为他们的密集研究培训设定框架，并为他们的研究奠定基础由具有丰富职业经验的加州大学洛杉矶分校教师顾问委员会评估学员的进步开发和管理培训补助金。常驻科学家将被纳入我们现有的医师科学家实习生课程。项目为期 4 年，共申请 6 个职位，仅要求对研究培训部分提供支持。另外两个名额将由医学系。该教师将包括 33 名精心挑选的研究导师，他们的研究方向持续的校外资助和指导科学家的记录，代表心血管、肺、和血液学/肿瘤学部门、工程学院和公共卫生学院以及兰德公司研究所。通过为临床医生建立相同有效的研究培训环境，该提案已被 STAR 计划成功采用，将吸引、培训和留住临床医生研究人员解决以医师科学家为代表的科学劳动力比例不断下降的问题。
