学术领域新研究人员的流失是一场“危机”，将危及生物医学科学的未来。未能获得独立的资助是导致NIH职业道路人员流失的重要原因。本文的目的是描述老年心理健康高级研究所（ARI）的组成部分和结果，这是一个由NIMH资助的国家项目，目标是新研究者成功过渡到独立。作者首先描述了项目的参与者和关键组成部分。然后，他们比较了前四组（2004-2007;n=42）和2001-2005年所有NIMH指导的职业发展(K)奖获得者（n=404）的联邦拨款资助记录，这些记录来自NIH Reporter数据库。截至2010年1月，45.2%的学者获得了R01资助。近70%的人获得了NIH的资助（不包括K或小额资助）。在所有NIMH指导的K奖获得者中，ARI学者达到R01的可能性高出2.36 (p=0.048)；当纳入r34时，结果相似（OR=2.42, p= 0.045）。基于客观结果，老年心理健康高级研究所（ARI）提供了一个有效的模式，以促进新调查员成功过渡到独立。急性呼吸道感染的组成部分虽然是围绕特定的公共卫生和科学需求组织的，但也可推广到其他领域。此外，将生物学、临床和服务研究人员纳入一个单一的项目促进了转化科学的发展。因此，ARI是阻止美国国立卫生研究院职业道路上的人员流失和促进下一代科学的一个工具。
The loss of new investigators from academic science is a “crisis” placing the future of biomedical science at risk. Failure to obtain independent funding contributes significantly to attrition from the NIH career path. The purpose of this paper is to describe the components and outcomes of the Advanced Research Institute (ARI) in Geriatric Mental Health, an NIMH grant-funded national program that targets successful transition of new investigators to independence. The authors first describe the program participants and key components. They then compare the record of federal grant funding, derived from the NIH Reporter database, of the first four cohorts (2004–2007; n=42) to those of all NIMH mentored career development (K) awardees funded 2001–2005 (n=404). As of January 2010, 45.2% of Scholars had achieved R01 funding. Nearly 70% obtained some NIH grant (not including K or small grants). Among all NIMH mentored K awardees, ARI Scholars were 2.36 (p=0.048) more likely to achieve an R01; outcomes were similar (OR=2.42, p= .045) when including R34s. Based on objective outcomes, the Advanced Research Institute (ARI) in Geriatric Mental Health offers an effective model to promoting successful transition of new investigators to independence. While organized around a specific public health and scientific need, ARI’s components are generalizable to other fields. Further, the inclusion of biological, clinical and services researchers into a single program promotes translational science. Thus ARI is one tool to stemming attrition from the NIH career path and promoting the next generation of science.
