Abstract The Indiana University School of Medicine (IUSM) Medical Scientist/Engineer Training Program (MSTP) has trained a diverse cohort of physician-scientists/engineers to conduct rigorous, innovative and clinically relevant research. Graduates are leaders in the biomedical sciences who are applying the rapid advances in scientific discovery to the development of new treatments for human disease. We aim to partner with NIGMS to support this program, requesting that 25% of our cohort be trainees on the T32 grant. Our Specific Aims are 1) to recruit a competitive cohort from diverse backgrounds who have a strong commitment both to research and to patient care; 2) to train students in basic and translational research and in medicine, thus equipping graduates to succeed; and 3) to graduate students with MD and PhD degrees who are competitive for the best residency positions; and who will become leading, innovative physician-scientists/physician-engineers in academics and industry. A unique aspect of our MSTP is its long-standing partnership and synergy with the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering (BME) at Purdue University; the program has already graduated 20 physician-engineers. A second key feature is our focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). In this regard, our many active recruitment and feeder programs, including one supported by a new Burroughs-Wellcome Fund grant, have made us leaders in DEI recruitment, particularly in the Midwest. In the last five years 22% of our matriculants have come from underrepresented and/or disadvantaged groups, and 50% have been women. We have 108 preceptors with strong training and research records and ~$130 million in grant support. The program’s excellence is reflected in the increase in applications, from 99 in 2007 to 293 in 2021. The MSTP is the top training priority for IUSM, funded with $2 million in direct support and several MSTP-specific endowments, including $10 million from the Eli Lilly Foundation. Our program equips students to excel by providing superior programmatic structure, curricular content, mentorship, research facilities and clinical resources. IUSM is Indiana’s only allopathic medical school: it is the largest medical school in the nation, with one of the largest health systems. Our leaders prioritize student welfare, DEI training and safety. Training is required in the responsible conduct of research and in research reproducibility and all graduates have published first author papers. In the last five years, 100% of our graduates matched into top-ranked residency programs across the nation, including research-intensive residencies (e.g., PSTPs). Long term, graduates are successful in academics and in industry. Here, we propose to partner with NIH to train the next generation of exceptional physician-scientists and physician-engineers in Indiana.

摘要 印第安纳州大学医学院（IUSM）医学科学家/工程师培训计划（MSTP） 培训了一批多样化的医生-科学家/工程师，以进行严格的，创新的和临床相关的 research.毕业生是生物医学科学的领导者，他们正在应用科学领域的快速进步。 发现到人类疾病新疗法的发展。我们的目标是与NIGMS合作， 这个计划，要求我们的队列的25%是学员的T32赠款。我们的具体目标是1）招募 来自不同背景的竞争性队列，他们对研究和患者都有坚定的承诺。 护理; 2）在基础和转化研究以及医学方面培训学生，从而使毕业生能够 成功;和3）研究生与医学博士和博士学位谁是最好的居住竞争力 职位;以及谁将成为学术界领先的，创新的物理科学家/物理工程师， 行业我们的MSTP的一个独特的方面是其长期的合作伙伴关系和协同作用与韦尔登学校的 普渡大学的生物医学工程（BME）;该项目已经毕业了20名医生工程师。 第二个关键特征是我们对多样性，公平和包容性（DEI）的关注。在这方面，我们的许多积极 招募和饲养计划，包括一个由新的巴勒斯-威康基金赠款支持的计划， 使我们成为DEI招聘的领导者，特别是在中西部。在过去的五年里，22%的大学生 来自代表性不足和/或弱势群体，其中50%是妇女。我们有108 拥有强大的培训和研究记录以及约1.3亿美元的赠款支持的导师。该计划的 申请数量从2007年的99份增加到2021年的293份，这反映了卓越。MSTP是顶级的 IUSM的培训优先事项，由200万美元的直接支持和几个MSTP特定捐赠基金资助， 包括礼来基金会的一千万美元我们的课程通过提供上级课程， 课程结构、课程内容、指导、研究设施和临床资源。IUSM是 印第安纳州唯一的对抗疗法医学院：它是全国最大的医学院，拥有全国最大的 卫生系统。我们的领导优先考虑学生福利，DEI培训和安全。需要进行以下方面的培训： 负责任的研究行为和研究的可重复性，所有毕业生都发表了第一作者 报纸在过去的五年里，我们的毕业生100%匹配到整个世界排名第一的住院医生计划 国家，包括研究密集型驻地（例如，PSTP）。从长远来看，毕业生在 学术界和工业界。在这里，我们建议与NIH合作，培养下一代卓越的 在印第安纳州的医学科学家和医学工程师。
