DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) The purpose of this proposal is to train pediatric and adult neurologists with an interest in developmental epilepsy to become clinician-scientists. This is a 2-year training program with one first-year and one-second year neurologist trained each year. This proposal is a competing continuation application of a currently funded T32 program. Training will be in epilepsy research - either basic or clinical research - with an emphasis upon epilepsy in the developing brain. In addition, there will be advanced training in clinical neurophysiology and clinical epilepsy in order to further develop the trainees' skills to the level expected by tertiary care, university-based epilepsy centers and to insure clinically relevant research. Each trainee will work closely with a mentor/preceptor in that faculty member's laboratory for an 18-month period; advanced clinical training will be conducted in fixed time periods in Year 2 for a period of 6 months (two 3-month blocks). The emphasis during the clinical training will be on education of the trainee, not service. In addition, there will be didactic course work, a lecture series, seminars and journal clubs. There are 5 basic science research faculty and 5 clinical research faculty. Each has experience in post-graduate training, NIH funding and scientific collaboration with other program faculty. The clinical faculty is experienced with focused expertise in advanced clinical neurophysiology and epilepsy. The current program is still young, but has produced graduates that have published their research findings and presented them at national meetings. The first graduate has joined the Baylor College of Medicine faculty and the third will join the faculty in July (NIH KO8 application in review). There have been focused and successful efforts in the recruitment of trainees from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups: of the first 5 trainees, 3 are from underrepresented groups.

描述（由申请人提供） 该提案的目的是培训对发育性癫痫感兴趣的儿科和成人神经科医生成为临床医生科学家。这是一个为期 2 年的培训计划，每年培训一名第一年和一名第二年神经科医生。该提案是当前资助的 T32 计划的竞争性延续申请。培训将涉及癫痫研究——无论是基础研究还是临床研究——重点是大脑发育中的癫痫。此外，还将进行临床神经生理学和临床癫痫方面的高级培训，以进一步将学员的技能提高到三级护理、大学癫痫中心所期望的水平，并确保临床相关研究。每位学员将与该教员实验室的导师/导师密切合作 18 个月；高级临床培训将在第二年的固定时间段进行，为期 6 个月（两个 3 个月的区块）。临床培训的重点是对受训者的教育，而不是服务。此外，还将提供教学课程、系列讲座、研讨会和期刊俱乐部。现有基础科学研究人员5个，临床研究人员5个。每个人都在研究生培训、NIH 资助以及与其他项目教师的科学合作方面都有经验。临床教师经验丰富，在高级临床神经生理学和癫痫方面拥有丰富的专业知识。目前的项目还很年轻，但已培养出发表研究成果并在全国会议上发表的毕业生。第一个毕业生已加入贝勒医学院教职，第三个毕业生将于 7 月加入教职（NIH KO8 申请正在审核中）。在招募来自代表性不足的种族和族裔群体的学员方面，我们做出了重点和成功的努力：在首批 5 名学员中，有 3 名来自代表性不足的群体。
