University of Florida R25 Early Research Program for Neurology and Neurosurgery Residents

摘要 神经病学和神经外科住院医师项目的下一代学术领袖将 需要专家研究、培训和指导，以实现均衡的学术生涯。 不幸的是，大多数培训计划更适合培养临床医生，而不是做好准备 指导临床医生兼研究人员或为他/她提供必要的时间来开发 学术研究项目。临床医生-科学家有消失的危险，而这 基于不断增长的患者护理需求和 神经科医生和神经外科医生的短缺。佛罗里达大学神经学和神经学学院 神经外科住院医师项目采用了一种基础设施来识别常驻研究员 在他们训练的早期阶段，并让他们迈向K奖项。这一早期的识别加上 一个里程碑驱动的方法为感兴趣的居民提供了一个成功的公式 研究职业道路。这款来自佛罗里达大学(UF)的NINDS R25应用程序将专注于 关于制定一个全面的早期研究计划，以便有意义地参与 神经病学和神经外科住院医师从实习第一天起一直在研究 通过他们的常驻、奖学金和成功的K奖申请。该项目将提供 潜在的UF R25个人申请者可以进入受保护的理想研究环境 时间、课程、指导和强大的机构承诺。UF提供卓越的服务 基础/转化型实验室经验、临床研究、研究设施和专家 导师-学员体验。UF的潜在R25参与者将可以访问独立的 神经内科医院，拥有重要研究/临床试验的多个跨学科诊所 基础设施，以及麦克奈特大脑研究所的核心设施。潜在的R25参与者 将在住院医师培训早期确定，放在研究轨道上，并指导 一次专注的研究经验，最终获得了NIH K奖。

Abstract The next generation of academic leaders in Neurology and Neurosurgery residency programs will require expert research training and mentorship in order to achieve a balanced academic career. Unfortunately, most training programs are better suited to develop the clinician and not prepared to mentor the clinician-researcher or to offer him/her the dedicated time necessary to develop an academic research project. There is a danger of the disappearing clinician-scientist and this danger in a reality in many institutions based on an ever increasing patient care demand and a shortage of neurologists and neurosurgeons. The University of Florida neurology and neurosurgery residency programs have adopted an infrastructure to identify resident researchers early in their training and to advance them toward K awards. This early identification coupled with a milestone driven approach has provided a formula for the success of residents interested in research career paths. This NINDS R25 application from the University of Florida (UF) will focus on the development of a comprehensive early research program to meaningfully engage neurology and neurosurgery residents in research from day 1 of their internship all the way through their residency, fellowship, and successful K award application. This project will provide the potential UF R25 individual applicant access to an ideal research environment with protected time, coursework, mentorship and a strong institutional commitment. UF offers outstanding basic/translational laboratory experiences, clinical research, research facilities, and an expert mentor-mentee experience. Potential R25 enrollees at UF will have access to a freestanding neuromedicine hospital, multiple interdisciplinary clinics with significant research/clinical trials infrastructure, and the core facilities of the McKnight Brain Institute. The potential R25 participant will be identified early in their residency training, placed on a research track and mentored toward a dedicated research experience and ultimately a NIH K award.
