PHYSICIAN SCIENTIST PROGRAM AWARD

这项建议是一项涉及调查人员的基本和 哈佛医学院（HMS）的临床部门及其几个 主要教学附属机构，寻求支持，建立一个多学科的 机构医生-科学家方案，特别强调器官 系统和疾病，这是中央的使命的国家 关节炎、代谢、消化和肾脏疾病研究所 （NIADDK）。 主要目标是为年轻医生提供一个 有机会从事深入（5年）的教学学术课程 基础和临床方面的培训和强化实验室经验 以理工科为重 典型的博士后学员将完成两年的 内部员工培训，并将在展示的基础上选择 在先前的努力中表现出色，在与成员的访谈中表现出色 项目委员会的成员，并坚定地致力于学术事业 医学和研究。 该计划还旨在提供高素质的 激励三年级和四年级的医学生， 密集但时间较短（一年或两年）的教学和调查 经验，以鼓励他们在未来的职业生涯中的学术兴趣 医学和生物医学研究。 我们认为这个新项目 补充而不是与当地已有的资源竞争 [（即，美国国立卫生研究院支持的HMS医学科学家培训计划; 哈佛-麻省理工学院健康科学与技术部;博士后 研究金培训方案（主要通过个人或机构 国家研究服务奖在各个临床部门）。 通过 正式确定这一经验的质量和范围，以确保 在基础和临床方面进行严格的教学研究和实验室培训 研究，预计物理学家科学家计划， 在这个机构实施将促进发展一个人才库， 全职学术医生-研究人员能够申请 国家的最先进的技术和基础科学的概念， 阐明NIADDK支持的地区的疾病机制， 能够成功争取到这样的支持。

This proposal, a collaborative effort involving investigators in basic and clinical departments at Harvard Medical School (HMS) and several of its major teaching affiliates, seeks support to establish a multidisciplinary institutional Physician-Scientist Program with special emphasis on organ systems and diseases which are central to the mission of the National Institute of Arthritis, Metabolism, Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIADDK). The principal goal is to provide young physicians with an opportunity to engage in an in-depth (5 year) course of didactic academic training and intensive laboratory experience in basic and clinical sciences. Typical postdoctoral trainees will have completed two years of housestaff training and will be selected on the basis of demonstrated excellence in prior endeavors, performance during interviews with members of The Program Committee and a strong commitment to a career in academic medicine and research. This program also seeks to provide highly qualified and motivated third and fourth year medical students with a similarly intensive but less prolonged (one or two years) didactic and investigative experience so as to encourage their interest in a future career in academic medicine and biomedical research. We view this new program as complementing, rather than competing with, those already available locally [(i.e., NIH-supported Medical Scientist Training Program at HMS; Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciencies and Technology; Postdoctoral Fellowship Training Programs (primarily through individual or institutional National Research Service Awards in various clinical departments)]. By formalizing the quality and scope of this experience so as to ensure rigorous didactic study and laboratory training in basic and clinical research, it is expected that the Physician-Scientist Program as implemented at this institution will foster the development of a pool of full time academic physician-investigators capable of applying state-of-the-art techniques and concepts of basic science to the elucidation of disease mechanisms in areas supported by NIADDK and to be able to compete successfully for such support.
