PROJECT SUMMARY The brain is the most frequent site of crippling and incurable human disease. Neurosurgeons are ideally positioned to advance and translate neuroscience discoveries, but it is a stark minority that are able to build a career as a physician-scientist successfully. Training programs, including our own, have been deficient in their provision of three essential components to delivering neurosurgeon-scientists to the field: 1) Opportunity; 2) Mentorship; 3) Continuity. We have examined the difficult truth of poor productivity from our prior R25 awardees, dissected our failures, and designed new and innovative programmatic approaches, specifically molded to 1) expand opportunities; 2) re-address mentorship; and 3) redefine entirely the look of sustained departmental commitment to developing and maintaining neurosurgeon-scientists. Herein, we offer a fresh enthusiasm, focus, and approach for addressing the problem of how to deliver and sustain neurosurgical research contributions. The program proposed here provides a unique and organized approach to engage, support, and maintain neurosurgery trainees in mentored research. Our hypothesis is that implementation of a formal physician- scientist training track, coupled with a committee-based mentored research experience and an unprecedented commitment to longitudinal support for trainees who secure funding will result in improved realization of independently-funded academic careers for neurosurgeon-scientists. Toward that end, our Specific Aims are to optimize/provide: 1. Opportunity. Our neurosurgery residency has been re-designed to include a Physician-Scientist Track that proffers a weekly Academic Day during junior residency, a PhD-thesis style Research Mentorship Committee, a core curriculum, a vetted and reviewed R25 application, mentored/supported research PGY years 4-6, and a 7th “transition to practice” year that teaches trainees to divide time successfully between clinical and research responsibilities. 2. Mentorship. Physician-Scientist Track residents will identify a primary research mentor from among 29 approved Duke faculty mentors grouped into 9 distinct Research Concentrations. A PhD-style Research Mentorship Committee will be formed to mentor the resident throughout training. 3. Continuity. R25 recipients will receive matched funds from Neurosurgery to support their research endeavors during the clinical years separating their R25 award in PGY4 from the PGY7 “transition to practice” year.

项目摘要 大脑是最常见的残废和无法治愈的人类疾病的部位。神经外科医生是理想的 可以推进和翻译神经科学发现，但这是一个鲜明的少数群体，能够建立一个 作为身体科学家的职业成功。培训计划，包括我们自己的培训计划，已经缺乏 提供三个基本组成部分，以将神经外科医生运送到该领域：1）机会； 2） 指导； 3）连续性。 我们已经研究了以前的R25获奖者生产力不佳的困难事实，并剖析了我们的 失败并设计了新的和创新的程序化方法，专门模制为1）扩展 机会； 2）重新建筑精神； 3）完全重新定义了持续部门的外观 致力于发展和维护神经外科医生。在这里，我们提供了一种新的热情， 重点和方法来解决如何交付和维持神经外科研究的问题 贡献。 这里提出的计划提供了一种独特而有条理的方法来参与，支持和维护 神经外科学员正在研究研究。我们的假设是实施正式的医师 - 科学家培训轨道，加上委员会的指导研究经验和前所未有的 致力于为获得资金的受训者的纵向支持，将改善实现 独立资助的神经外科医生的学术职业。为此，我们的具体目标是 优化/提供： 1。机会。我们的神经外科住所已经过重新设计，包括医师科学家轨道 在初级居住期间，每周的学术日期，博士学位论文风格的研究指导 委员会是一项核心课程，是经过审查和审查的R25应用程序，指导/支持研究PGY 4 - 6年和第七年的“过渡到练习”一年，教学人员成功地分配时间 临床和研究职责。 2。指导。医师科学家轨道居民将确定29个主要研究精神 批准的杜克大学教师导师分为9个不同的研究集中。博士风格的研究 指导委员会将成立以指导居民在整个培训中。 3。连续性。 R25收件人将获得神经外科的匹配资金，以支持他们的研究 在临床年份将其在PGY4中的R25奖与PGY7分开的努力 练习年。
