Rehabilitation Medicine Scientist Training Program

项目概要/摘要 需要临床科学家，特别是医师科学家来推进转化 研究议程。在康复领域尤其如此，有证据基础支持 实践还不发达。康复医学科学家培训计划（RMSTP） 旨在识别和招募有前途的医生候选人从事康复研究职业； 为这些候选人做好有竞争力的指导职业发展的最佳准备 资助申请；支持培训期间的生产力并促进向科学的过渡 独立性。为了实现这些目标，RMSTP 与协会合作 学术物理医师将每年进行为期 3 天的研究职业发展 (RCD) 研讨会，并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 RCD 研讨会的内容轨道和电话会议的焦点中： 申请人阶段帮助参与者确定他们的研究兴趣领域并确定合适的当地 导师；申请人阶段提供指导，包括关键的同行评审，以开发 职业发展资金的竞争性申请；受资助的研究员阶段提供 支持最大限度地提高培训生产力，包括对研究进行严格的同行评审 应用，并将培训应用于康复问题；和研究生阶段 根据需要提供持续支持，以促进向独立的过渡并继续 制定他们的研究计划。 RCD 研讨会的教学和实践培训是 由多学科项目教师提供，由成功的校外资助组成 康复研究人员专注于广泛的基础和应用主题。每季度小- 小组电话会议由 2 名项目总监之一主持，两人均经验丰富 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 资助的医师科学家培训计划非常成功的关键要素，并且 已对其进行了调整和扩展，以适应多学科医师参与者并指导 他们寻求外部资金。 RMSTP针对RCD设计了评价方法 研讨会内容、申请人库的多样性和质量以及总体结果 关于科学生产力关键基准的培训。

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.
