DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Program Description: The aim of this training program is provide a significant research experience during the neurology residence at the University of Pennsylvania, as a means of accelerating the transition between residency and research career development for our overwhelmingly academically-oriented trainees. The program will be conducted in a large research-oriented institution with a residency program that trains some of the best candidates in the country and that has enough flexibility to encourage a meaningful hiatus from clinical training without compromising the important goals of a neurology residency. Eligible residents will apply to the program through an administrative committee, providing evidence of research aptitude through the development of a research project in conjunction with a research mentor. They will then be able to devote 6-12 months to a project, returning to the residency program at its conclusion. It is expected that the data gathered during this hiatus from clinical training will lead to further research as post-doctoral trainees, and beyond. The training program will be conducted by experienced clinical and laboratory research faculty in various departments with a track record in promoting young careers, including but not limited to Neurology, Neuroscience, Bioengineering, and Medicine. Public Health Relevance: The declining numbers of clinician-scientists is a real threat to the development of new treatments for neurological diseases, as this group populates the ranks of disease-oriented investigators in academia, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical companies. Part of the reason for this decline is the lengthy training process, with the insecurity of future funding. This program will allow residents in neurology to interrupt their clinical training in order to develop clinical or bench-based skills, and to generate sufficient preliminary data to enhance their transition from residency to faculty positions in research-intensive institutions.

描述（由申请人提供）：计划描述：该培训计划的目的是在宾夕法尼亚大学的神经病学住所期间提供重要的研究经验，以加速我们以学业为中心的学术学员的居住和研究职业发展之间的过渡。 该计划将在一个以研究为导向的机构中进行，其居住计划培训该国一些最好的候选人，并且具有足够的灵活性，可以鼓励临床培训中有意义的休假，而不会损害神经病学驻留的重要目标。符合条件的居民将通过行政委员会申请该计划，通过与研究导师结合开发研究项目，提供研究能力的证据。 然后，他们将能够将6-12个月的时间投入一个项目，并在其结论中返回居住计划。预计从临床培训中收集的中断期间收集的数据将导致作为博士后学员及以后的进一步研究。该培训计划将由经验丰富的临床和实验室研究学院在各个部门进行，并具有促进年轻职业的往绩，包括但不限于神经科学，神经科学，生物工程和医学。 公共卫生相关性：临床医生科学家的数量减少是对神经系统疾病新疗法的发展的真正威胁，因为该群体在学术界，生物技术和制药公司中占据了面向疾病的研究人员的等级。这种下降的部分原因是漫长的培训过程，以及未来资金的不安全感。该计划将使神经病学的居民能够开发基于临床或基础的技能，并产生足够的初步数据，从而增强其从居住机构的过渡到研究密集型机构的过渡。
