The mission of the Medical Faculty (MF) and the University Hospital Cologne (UHC) is to excel in clinical, translational, and basic medical research to improve patient care. Over the last decade, MF has systematically established the Cologne Clinician Scientist Track (CCSP) - a comprehensive clinician-scientist qualification concept to foster academic activities of physicians interested in both clinical and scientific career steps on an internationally visible level. Here, we apply for continuation of Accelerate, a key module of the CCSP. Accelerate specifically targets clinicians i) who have completed the initial 2-3 years of their clinical specialist training, and ii) have a proven outstanding talent in both science and clinical training. Importantly, Accelerate successfully closes the gap between the Modules i) GetInvolved, which targets residents in their first two years after graduation to keep them in touch with science while starting their clinical specialist training, and the Module ii) GoAhead, which supports those who have completed their clinical training (board certified clinical specialist) in pursuing a career as a clinician-scientist and in building their own research team.Accelerate as the key module of the CCSP is designed to promote a truly bidirectional translational approach, i.e., from bedside to bench and vice-versa, by fostering the exchange between clinically interested basic scientists and clinicians with a strong research interest and background. To enable these interactions, Accelerate offers its participants a structured, well-balanced scientific and clinical postgraduate training prior to qualifying for board certification (specialist/consultant status). Accelerate thus ensures that clinician-scientists can continue their clinical career path while pursuing their research projects during protected time periods that are an integrated part of a binding curriculum. Within the first funding period, Accelerate enrolled 22 outstanding clinician-scientists from 10 clinical departments. Protected time for research (50 %) was successfully implemented in the daily routine of all fellows. Remarkably, many CCSP fellows have already published parts of their research in high-ranked journals (up to IF 17) already two years after project kick-off. Taken together, Accelerate massively advanced the clinician-scientist career of all fellows enrolled, enabled reliable career planning, allowed to combine family life and a clinician-scientist career, and promoted women in clinical science. Funding the continuation of Accelerate will further establish the CCSP as an attractive, reliable, and comprehensive career program for highly motivated young clinicians with a proven scientific interest and talent, thereby boosting the fellows’ motivation and drive to pursue a scientific career in clinical medicine.

医学系（MF）和科隆大学医院（UHC）的使命是在临床，转化和基础医学研究中脱颖而出，以改善患者护理。在过去的十年中，MF系统地建立了科隆临床医生科学家轨道（CCSP）-一个全面的临床医生-科学家资格的概念，以促进在国际可见的水平上对临床和科学事业感兴趣的医生的学术活动。在这里，我们申请继续加速，CCSP的一个关键模块。加速专门针对临床医生i）谁已经完成了最初的2-3年的临床专家培训，和ii）有一个证明在科学和临床培训的杰出人才。重要的是，加速成功地缩小了模块i）GetInvolved（目标是毕业后前两年的居民，在开始临床专家培训的同时保持与科学的联系）和模块ii）GoAhead之间的差距，它支持那些已经完成临床培训的人，（委员会认证的临床专家）在追求职业生涯作为一个临床医生-科学家和建立自己的研究团队。加速CCSP的关键模块旨在促进真正的双向转化方法，即，通过促进对临床感兴趣的基础科学家和具有强烈研究兴趣和背景的临床医生之间的交流，从床边到长凳，反之亦然。为了实现这些互动，Accelerate为其参与者提供结构化，平衡良好的科学和临床研究生培训，然后才有资格获得董事会认证（专家/顾问身份）。因此，加速确保临床医生-科学家可以继续他们的临床职业道路，同时在受保护的时间段内追求他们的研究项目，这是具有约束力的课程的一个组成部分。在第一个资助期内，Accelerate招募了来自10个临床部门的22名优秀临床科学家。在所有研究员的日常工作中成功地落实了研究保护时间（50%）。值得注意的是，许多CCSP研究员已经在项目启动两年后在高排名期刊上发表了他们的部分研究（最多IF 17）。总的来说，加速大规模推进了所有研究员的临床科学家职业生涯，实现了可靠的职业规划，允许联合收割机结合家庭生活和临床科学家职业生涯，并促进了临床科学中的女性。资助继续加速将进一步建立CCSP作为一个有吸引力的，可靠的，全面的职业计划，高度积极的年轻临床医生与一个公认的科学兴趣和人才，从而提高研究员的动机和动力，追求科学的职业生涯在临床医学。
