UC Davis Clinician Neuroscientist Development Program

摘要 加州大学戴维斯分校R25计划旨在通过以下方式为改善神经系统疾病患者的护理做出贡献： 培训神经病学和神经外科住院医师成为临床科学家，能够开发新的治疗方法， 神经系统疾病，并吸引个人职业研究资金。历史上，加州大学戴维斯分校有一个 对神经科学的坚定承诺，优秀的神经病学和神经外科部门，以及几个 著名的卓越中心，包括神经科学中心，心灵和大脑中心，以及MIND 院然而，临床神经科学培训计划缺乏充分利用的资源 这一非凡的神经科学研究环境。拟议的R25计划将利用这些 机构优势，使驻地研究培训方案具有以下特点： 在两个高度整合和协调的临床神经科学部门中拥有独特的多元化教师; 由两位在住院医师培训和研究指导方面经验丰富的临床科学家指导; 在通常的居住和奖学金期间，一个具有高影响力的研究培训计划，因此 避免延长临床科学家选择学术轨道的培训时间; 由一对接受过特殊研究培训的教员指导每位参与者 和职业指导; 强调妇女和代表人数不足的少数群体的参与; 一个课程，利用一套独特的教育资源，在加州大学戴维斯分校，通过 由NIH CTSA计划支持的临床转化科学中心; 一个高度肥沃的神经科学环境，教师中有大量的专业知识，巨大的资源 和成就的遗产; 大学、医学院和各系提供的资金和其他资源 具体支持住院医师培训方案; 该计划将在重新设计的培训中提供神经科学研究方面的强化培训和指导 为神经病学和神经外科住院医师提供的计划，特别是那些潜力在历史上 不发达。该计划的特点是其教师和机构的神经科学实力， 培训方案结构的创新和强调多样性的独特性。它将充分利用 加州大学戴维斯分校非常强大的神经科学社区作为其培训环境。它将开采 大学丰富的种族，社会经济和性别多样性在确定和培训临床神经科学家 否则他们的潜力就无法得到充分开发这种潜力的开发将促进国家的 通过他们个人的科学发现和通过那些人口统计学上相似的人的发现， 他们将成为他们的榜样。

Abstract The UC Davis R25 program seeks to contribute to the improved care of patients with neurological disease by training neurology and neurosurgery residents to be clinician-scientists able to develop new treatments for nervous system disorders and to attract individual career research funding. Historically, UC Davis has had a strong commitment to neuroscience, excellent departments of neurology and neurological surgery, and several renowned centers of excellence, including the Center for Neuroscience, Center for Mind & Brain, and the MIND Institute. However, the clinical neuroscience training programs have lacked the resources to take full advantage of this remarkable neuroscience research environment. The proposed R25 program will capitalize on these institutional strengths to enable a resident research training program with the following features:  A uniquely diverse faculty in two highly integrated and coordinated clinical neuroscience departments;  Direction by two clinician scientists highly experienced in resident training and research mentorship;  A program with high impact research training within the usual period of residency and fellowship, thus avoiding extending the duration of training for clinician scientists choosing an academic track;  Mentoring of each participant by a pair of faculty members who have received special training in research and career mentorship;  Emphasis on participation by women and under-represented minorities;  A curriculum that takes advantage of a unique set of educational resources available at UC Davis through the Clinical Translational Science Center which is supported by the NIH CTSA program;  A highly fertile neuroscience environment with vast expertise among the faculty, enormous resources and a legacy of accomplishment;  Funding and other resources contributed by the university, school of medicine, and departments specifically to support the resident training program; The program will provide intensive training and mentoring in neuroscience research within redesigned training programs for neurology and neurosurgery residents, particularly those whose potential is historically underdeveloped. This program is distinguished by the strength in neuroscience of its faculty and institutions, innovation in training program structures, and the uniqueness of its emphasis on diversity. It will fully exploit UC Davis's tremendously strong Neuroscience community as its training environment. And it will mine the university's rich racial, socioeconomic, and gender diversity in identifying and training clinician neuroscientists whose potential would otherwise go under-developed. Development of this potential will promote the nation's health through their individual scientific discoveries and through the discoveries of those of similar demographic features for whom they will serve as role models.
