项目摘要

Project Summary/Abstract There is a shortage of physician scientists and the number of physicians choosing to enter research careers is declining. This shortage threatens the biomedical research enterprise at a time when the opportunities for physician-neuroscientists to make substantial discoveries contributing to understanding and treatment of nervous system diseases (e.g.-Alzheimer disease, stroke, epilepsy, Parkinson disease) have increased dramatically.1 The National Institute of Health (NIH) has developed a roadmap to encourage disease-oriented research in supportive academic environments, including a special emphasis on improving the success rate of training programs for physician-scientists.2 One reason for the current decline in the physician-scientist pipeline is the long training period required to reach research independence. The average age of a first-time NIH R 01 grant recipient (one commonly used measure of research independence) has reached 43 years for MD applicants who face unique challenges on the path to research independence. By the time physicians have completed clinical residency training and are ready to apply for career development funding, many have reached their late 30s. This period is marked by important lifestyle decisions (e.g.-having a family, becoming financially independent, purchasing a first home) and career development decisions. Coupled with an average debt of approximately $150,000 at the end of medical school, these financial and lifestyle factors combine to discourage potential physician-scientists from embarking on research careers associated with low income, low rates of grant funding, and little long term security. Other career avenues (e.g.-private practice, industry) may seem more attractive for many of the brightest physicians in training. The R25 research education program implements the vision of the NIH roadmap at NINDS by providing new resources to assist promising physician investigators with improved training, mentorship, a supportive research environment, and resources that maximize the probability of a successful transition from the training environment to independent research careers. The Departments of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Radiology at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) are committed to addressing the problem of declining interest in research careers by encouraging residents to develop or extend investigative pursuits during the clinical training years. The Department of Neurology at UCSF is well positioned to serve as the primary sponsor of the clinical neuroscience research education program, detailed below, that is the focus of this application.

项目概要/摘要医师科学家短缺，选择从事研究职业的医师数量下降。在生物医学研究企业面临机遇之际，这种短缺威胁到了生物医学研究企业。医生神经科学家做出重大发现，有助于理解和治疗神经系统疾病（例如阿尔茨海默病、中风、癫痫、帕金森病）增加 1 美国国立卫生研究院 (NIH) 制定了路线图，鼓励以疾病为导向的在支持性学术环境中进行研究，包括特别强调提高研究的成功率医师科学家培训计划2 当前医师-科学家人才队伍减少的原因之一是需要较长的培训时间达到研究独立性。首次 NIH R 01 资助获得者的平均年龄（常用的研究独立性衡量标准）对于医学博士申请者来说已经达到了 43 年，他们面临着独特的挑战研究独立之路。当医生完成临床住院医师培训并成为准备申请职业发展资金的人中，许多人已经年过三十。这一时期的标志是重要的生活方式决定（例如，组建家庭、经济独立、购买第一套房子）和职业发展决策。加上截至年底的平均债务约为 150,000 美元医学院，这些经济和生活方式因素结合起来阻碍了潜在的医生科学家从事与低收入、低资助率和很少长期相关的研究职业安全。对于许多人来说，其他职业途径（例如私人执业、工业）似乎更有吸引力训练中最聪明的医生。 R25 研究教育计划通过提供新的内容来实现 NINDS 的 NIH 路线图愿景通过改进培训、指导和支持性研究来帮助有前途的医生研究人员的资源最大限度地提高从培训成功过渡的可能性的环境和资源独立研究职业的环境。神经内科、神经外科和放射科加州大学旧金山分校 (UCSF) 致力于解决人口数量下降的问题通过鼓励居民在研究期间发展或扩展研究追求来激发对研究职业的兴趣临床培训年。加州大学旧金山分校 (UCSF) 神经病学系处于有利地位，可以作为主要的神经病学系。临床神经科学研究教育计划的赞助商，详细信息如下，这是本次活动的重点应用。
