Rehabilitation Medicine Scientist Training Program

项目摘要/摘要 临床科学家，特别是内科科学家，需要推动 研究议程。在康复方面尤其如此，那里的证据基础支持 实践还不够发达。康复医学科学家培训计划(RMSTP) 旨在确定和招聘有前途的康复研究职业的医生候选人； 为那些应聘者做好最佳准备，以发展有竞争力的指导职业发展 资金申请；在培训期间支持生产力，并促进向科学 独立。为了实现这些目标，RMSTP与 学术物理医生将每年进行为期3天的研究职业发展(RCD) 研讨会，辅以全年每季度举行的小组电话会议，以 支持持续进步和生产力。RMSTP分为4个阶段，分别是 反映在刚果民盟讲习班的内容轨道和电话会议的焦点中： 申请者阶段帮助参与者确定他们感兴趣的研究领域，并确定合适的地方 导师；申请者阶段提供指导，包括批判性同行审查，以制定 职业发展资金的竞争性申请；资助研究员阶段提供 支持最大限度地提高培训效率，包括对研究进行批判性同行审查 申请，并将这种培训应用于康复问题；以及研究生阶段 视需要提供持续支持，以促进向独立过渡，并继续 制定他们的研究计划。RCD研讨会的授课和动手培训是 由多学科计划学院提供，由成功的校外资助 康复研究人员专注于广泛的基础和应用主题。季度小规模- 小组电话会议由两名项目主任中的一名领导，两人都有经验 以及资金充足的康复研究人员和导师。RMSTP培训基础设施具有 采用了K12资助的非常成功的内科科学家培训计划的关键要素，并 对它们进行了调整和扩展，以适应多学科医生的参与者，并指导 向他们提供外部资金。RMSTP设计了针对RCD的评估方法 研讨会内容、申请者群体的多样性和质量以及以下方面的综合成果 关于科学生产力的关键基准的培训。

Project Summary/Abstract Clinician scientists, and physician scientists in particular, are needed to advance the translational research agenda. This is particularly true in rehabilitation, where the evidence base to support practice is under-developed. The Rehabilitation Medicine Scientist Training Program (RMSTP) aims to identify and recruit promising physician candidates for research careers in rehabilitation; to optimally prepare those candidates to develop a competitive mentored career development funding application; to support productivity during training and facilitate a transition to scientific independence. To achieve these aims, the RMSTP, in collaboration with the Association of Academic Physiatrists will conduct an annual 3-day Research Career Development (RCD) Workshop, supplemented by quarterly small group teleconferences throughout the year, to support continued progress and productivity. The RMSTP is divided into 4 phases, which are reflected in content tracks in the RCD workshop and in the focus of the teleconferences: the pre- applicant phase helps participants define their area of research interest and identify suitable local mentors; the applicant phase provides guidance, including critical peer review, on developing competitive applications for career development funding; the funded fellow phase provides support to maximize productivity in training, including critical peer review of research applications, and to apply that training to rehabilitation problems; and the graduate phase provides ongoing support, as needed, to facilitate the transition to independence and continue to develop their research programs. Didactic and hands-on training at the RCD Workshop is provided by a multidisciplinary Program Faculty consisting of successful extramurally funded rehabilitation researchers focused on a broad range of basic and applied topics. Quarterly small- group teleconferences are led by one of the 2 Program Directors, both of whom are experienced and well-funded rehabilitation researchers and mentors. The RMSTP training infrastructure has adopted key elements of a highly successful K12-funded physician scientist training program and has adapted and expanded them to suit multidisciplinary physician participants and to direct them toward external funding. The RMSTP has designed evaluation methods aimed at the RCD Workshop content, the diversity and quality of the applicant pool, and the aggregate results of training with respect to key benchmarks of scientific productivity.
