Collaboration and Opportunities Component

项目摘要-指导协作机会 C-STAR提供的辅导合作机会包括休假和试点补助金。的 该中心的指导性合作机会组件的具体目标是：（1）匹配初级 康复研究人员与资深科学家在雪莉瑞安能力实验室（SRAlab）休假;（2）发展 高级科学家的指导技能，以确保成功的合作机会;（3）制定计划 与访问研究人员的家乡机构共同负责候选人的访问。实现这些目标 将使我们能够促进，支持和优先考虑访问研究人员和C-STAR之间的互动 investigators.我们将与访问研究人员的家乡机构制定协议，具体计划， 共同负责候选人访问的财政支助。此外，我们将借鉴导师培训 西北大学临床和转化科学研究所的专业知识。 指导合作机会的研究计划利用实验室的科学家导师， 支持来访的康复研究人员开展试点项目。一个关键的资源是翻译 SRAlab的研究模型。五个独特的Ability Labs ™专注于人类表现的不同方面。 在这些实验室中，37名主要研究人员与71名医生和361名治疗师合作， 在美国各地的许多学术机构的研究人员。几个中心，包括 雷根斯坦仿生医学中心，康复结果研究中心， 失语症研究和治疗，有丰富的经验指导早期职业生涯和初级研究人员。 在开发此应用程序时，我们考虑了一些关键问题，例如指导关系的结构 和激励措施来确保它们的持续性。我们为实施工作编列了两名0.5 FTE人员的预算 和成果。所有SRAlab高级科学家将贡献5%的努力 P2C每年，这将由SRAlab资助。这项工作将包括指导C-STAR客户。我们 将为来自西北大学的科学家提供酬金，作为对他们指导的补偿。我们 将与访问研究人员的家乡机构和 本国机构对访问研究人员的财政支助。我们预计将与下列各方达成1：4的费用分摊安排： 接待机构承担访问科学家80%的费用，但历史上服务过的机构除外 弱势群体;我们将提供高达5万美元，以支持休假的个人，从这样的 机构职能体系我们将作出实质性和持续的努力，从少数民族背景中招募科学家， 包括那些位于历史上的黑人学院和大学，以及来自美洲原住民和西班牙裔的学校， 背景，以及残疾学员。访问研究人员的申请将包括一个职业生涯 发展计划，详细说明他们希望发展的技能，他们计划的研究项目和正式计划 促进、支持和优先考虑现场互动。

Project Summary—Mentored Collaborative Opportunities Mentored collaborative opportunities provided by C-STAR include sabbaticals and pilot grant awards. The Specific Aims of this Center's mentored collaborative opportunities component are to: (1) Match junior rehabilitation researchers with senior scientists at Shirley Ryan AbilityLab (SRAlab) for sabbaticals; (2) Develop the mentoring skills of senior scientists to assure successful collaborative opportunities; and (3) Develop plans with home institutions of visiting researchers to share responsibility for candidates' visits. Achieving these aims will allow us to promote, support, and prioritize interactions between visiting researchers and C-STAR investigators. We will develop agreements with the home institutions of visiting researchers that specify plans to share responsibility for financial support of candidates' visits. In addition, we will draw on the mentor training expertise of Northwestern University's Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute. The Research Plan for mentored collaborative opportunities draws on scientist-mentors at laboratories to support visiting rehabilitation researchers conducting pilot projects. A critical resource is the translational research model of the SRAlab. Five unique Ability Labs™ focus on distinct aspects of human performance. Within these Labs, 37 principal investigators collaborate with 71 physicians and 361 therapists as well as investigators at numerous academic institutions across the United States. Several centers, including the Regenstein Center for Bionic Medicine, the Center for Rehabilitation Outcomes Research, and the Center for Aphasia Research and Treatment, have extensive experience mentoring early-career and junior investigators. In developing this application, we considered critical issues such as the structure of mentoring relationships and incentives to assure that they are sustained. We have budgeted two 0.5 FTE personnel for implementation and outcomes per year for mentored collaborative activities. All SRAlab senior scientists will contribute 5% effort to the P2C per year, which will be funded by SRAlab. This effort will include mentoring of C-STAR clients. We will provide an honorarium for scientists from Northwestern University as compensation for their mentorship. We will negotiate the logistics of on-site mentored collaborations with visiting researchers' home institutions and the home institution's financial support of visiting researchers. We anticipate a 1:4 cost sharing arrangement with host institutions covering 80% of visiting scientists' expenses, with exceptions for institutions serving historically disadvantaged populations; we will provide up to $50K to support sabbaticals for individuals from such institutions. We will make substantive and sustained efforts to recruit scientists from minority backgrounds, including those located at historically black colleges and universities and from Native American and Hispanic backgrounds, as well as trainees with disabilities. Applications from visiting researchers will include a career development plan that specifies the skills they wish to develop, their planned research project, and formal plans for promoting, supporting, and prioritizing on-site interactions.
