The University of California - Los Angeles (UCLA) Resident Scientist Training Program (RSTP)

项目摘要/摘要 加州大学洛杉矶分校常驻科学家培训计划(RSTP)的这一申请提出了一种新的方法 招募、培训和留住临床住院医师和调查人员。首要目标是 RSTP的目的是增加招聘和留住合格的临床医生和研究人员，以追求成功 心血管疾病、血液疾病和肺部疾病的科学生涯。我们的节目将重点关注 我们的大型项目有希望成为内科住院医生，并对成为医生有浓厚的兴趣- 科学家，但他们既没有进入研究培训渠道的结构化通道，也没有基础设施 和财政支持。我们的目标是：1)招聘和选拔高素质的居民 积极学习心血管、肺科学或血液学，2)确保充足的保护时间 并在实习期间提供补充支持，3)通过与以下人员配对提供密集的研究培训 精心挑选的顶尖科学家，以及4)通过职业发展培训培养承诺 资深经验丰富的导师和接触我们庞大的医生-科学家教员和实习生社区。 这项建议是基于加州大学洛杉矶分校专业培训和高级课程25年的成功经验 选拔、招募、培训和指导医生-科学家的研究(STAR)计划 临床团契培训。对该项目前20年的分析，其中结合了临床奖学金 研究生水平的研究导致获得博士学位，显示其80%的受训人员仍在积极工作 从事研究工作。这个RSTP将由加州大学洛杉矶分校明星的创始人兼执行董事执导 程序，虽然它是现有程序的自然扩展，但它显然是不同的。RSTP将提供 15个月的基础研究、转换研究或健康服务/政策研究的保护时间。每个人 常驻科学家将有一个由常驻研究员、研究接受者、 和RSTP领导层。该计划将为他们的高强度研究培训奠定框架，并为 由加州大学洛杉矶分校具有密切职业经验的教职员工咨询委员会评估学员的进步 发展和管理培训赠款。常驻科学家将整合到我们现有的 医师-科学家实习生课程。4年项目期间共请设6个职位，以及 将仅为研究-培训部分请求支持。另外两个名额将由 医学部。教职员工将包括33个精心挑选的带有轨迹的研究P受体 持续的外部资助和指导科学家的记录，代表心血管，肺， 和血液科/肿瘤科、工程学院和公共卫生学院以及兰德大学 研究生院。通过为临床医生建立同样有效的研究培训环境， 成功受聘于STAR计划，该计划将吸引、培训和留住临床医生和研究人员 解决以内科科学家为代表的科学劳动力比例下降的问题。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT This application for the UCLA Resident Scientist Training Program (RSTP) proposes a novel approach to recruiting, training, and retaining clinician-investigators at the level of clinical residency. The overarching goal of the RSTP is to increase the recruitment and retention of qualified clinician-investigators to pursue successful scientific careers in cardiovascular, hematologic, and pulmonary diseases. Our program will focus on promising internal medicine residents from our large program, with deep interest in becoming physician- scientists, but for whom there is neither structured access into the research training pipeline, nor infrastructure and financial support. Our aims will be to: 1) Recruit and select highly qualified residents who are motivated to study cardiovascular, pulmonary, or hematologic sciences, 2) Ensure adequate protected time and supplemental support during residency, 3) Provide intense research training by pairing them with carefully selected leading scientists, and 4) Cultivate commitment through career development training by senior experienced mentors and exposure to our large community of physician-scientist faculty and trainees. This proposal is based on 25 years of successful experience with the UCLA Specialty Training and Advanced Research (STAR) Program in selecting, recruiting, training, and mentoring physician-scientists at the level of clinical fellowship training. An analysis of the first 20 years of that program, which combines clinical fellowship with graduate level research leading to a PhD degree, showed that 80% of its trainees remained in active research careers. This RSTP will be directed by the Founder and Executive Director of the UCLA STAR Program, and while it is a natural extension of the existing program, it is clearly distinct. The RSTP will provide 15 months of protected time for research in basic, translational, or health services/policy research. Each Resident-Scientist will have an Individualized Development Plan crafted by the resident, Research Preceptor, and RSTP leadership. This plan will set the framework for their intense research training, and the basis for evaluating the trainees' progress by an Advisory Committee of UCLA faculty with intimate experience of career development and of administering training grants. Resident-Scientists will be integrated into our existing curriculum for physician-scientist trainees. A total of 6 positions are requested for the 4-year project period, and support will be requested for the research-training component only. Two additional spots will be fully funded by the Department of Medicine. The faculty will include 33 carefully selected Research Preceptors with a track record of sustained extramural funding and mentoring scientists, representing the Cardiovascular, Pulmonary, and Hematology/Oncology divisions, the Schools of Engineering and Public Health, as well as the RAND Graduate School. By building on the same effective research training environment for clinicians that has been successfully employed by STAR Program, this proposal will attract, train, and retain clinician-investigators to address the declining fraction of the scientific workforce represented by physician-scientists.
