DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This T32 training grant will provide intensive training in Imaging Research with the overall goal of increasing the number of clinician scientists employing imaging in their future research careers. There is an increasingly serious need for such physicians to become the future teachers and mentors in our major clinical specialties. There is a documented shortage of academic radiologists over a number of years now. In particular, Radiology has had a relatively weak history of providing formal training and research opportunities as part of the Clinical Residency Program and yet imaging methodology is now pervading many medical/scientific disciplines. Resident physicians especially in Diagnostic Radiology and Nuclear Medicine Programs will obtain a structured, rigorous research training that they would not normally receive. Didactic coursework will be obtained during the clinical years including identification of training mentors and labs followed by a minimum of 1 to 2 years of formal full time T32 funded research. This will also directly be integrated with existing more advanced training programs including M.S. and Ph.D. degree granting programs in clinical investigation as well as opportunities with basic science and public health programs. At least 25% of all the positions will be open for residents of other departments, explicitly Psychiatry, Neurology, Medicine and Surgery who intend on employing imaging (e.g., Neuro-imaging or interventional imaging) as part of their research careers. By starting early in their careers, we anticipate this may ultimately have a major effect on the career paths these physicians will take. The ultimate outcome will be increased numbers of physicians who will carry out a research career integrated with both basic and applied approaches. The training program will consist of explicit didactic courses prior to the training year, followed by full semester courses during the T32 training years and carefully assigned mentors and laboratories. The faculty is drawn not only from Radiology but from the associated departments and also including Bioengineering and Electrical Engineering. Thus trainees will train not only in Psychiatry, Neurology and Radiology laboratories but in affiliated departments at Johns Hopkins University and Intramural NIH (Baltimore and Bethesda) and potential industrial scientific labs providing a true intra-disciplinary research training experience. Evaluation will include formal progress reports, mock grant preparation and review, as well as publications and required national presentations. The long term goal is to attract resident physicians into a career employing imaging research as a major component of their future academic careers.

描述（由申请人提供）： 该T32培训补助金将提供成像研究方面的强化培训，其总体目标是增加在未来研究生涯中使用成像的临床科学家的数量。有一个越来越严重的需要这样的医生成为未来的教师和导师在我们的主要临床专业。多年来，学术放射科医生一直短缺。特别是，放射学作为临床住院医师计划的一部分，提供正式培训和研究机会的历史相对较弱，但成像方法现在已渗透到许多医学/科学学科。住院医师，特别是诊断放射学和核医学项目的住院医师将获得他们通常不会接受的结构化，严格的研究培训。教学课程将在临床期间获得，包括培训导师和实验室的识别，然后是至少1至2年的正式全职T32资助的研究。这也将直接与现有的更先进的培训计划，包括MS。和博士临床研究的学位授予项目以及基础科学和公共卫生项目的机会。至少25%的职位将开放给其他部门的居民，明确精神病学，神经病学，医学和外科谁打算雇用成像（例如，神经成像或介入成像）作为他们研究生涯的一部分。通过在他们的职业生涯早期开始，我们预计这最终可能会对这些医生的职业道路产生重大影响。最终的结果将是越来越多的医生谁将开展与基础和应用方法相结合的研究生涯。培训计划将包括培训年之前的明确教学课程，然后是T32培训年期间的整学期课程，并仔细分配导师和实验室。教师不仅来自放射学，而且来自相关部门，还包括生物工程和电气工程。因此，学员不仅将在精神病学，神经病学和放射学实验室进行培训，还将在约翰霍普金斯大学和校内NIH（巴尔的摩和贝塞斯达）的附属部门以及潜在的工业科学实验室进行培训，提供真正的学科内研究培训体验。评价工作将包括正式的进度报告、模拟赠款的编制和审查以及出版物和所要求的国家情况介绍。长期目标是吸引住院医师进入职业生涯采用成像研究作为其未来学术生涯的主要组成部分。
