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神经病学居住期间提供重要的研究经验，作为加速居住和研究职业发展之间的过渡的一种手段，为我们压倒性的学术导向的学员。 该计划将在一个大型研究型机构进行，该机构的住院医师计划将培训该国一些最优秀的候选人，并且具有足够的灵活性，可以鼓励临床培训有意义的中断，而不会影响神经病学住院医师的重要目标。符合条件的居民将通过行政委员会申请该计划，通过与研究导师一起开发研究项目提供研究能力的证据。 然后，他们将能够投入6-12个月的时间来完成一个项目，并在项目结束时返回居住计划。预计在临床培训中断期间收集的数据将导致博士后学员的进一步研究。培训计划将由各部门经验丰富的临床和实验室研究人员进行，他们在促进年轻职业方面有良好的记录，包括但不限于神经病学，神经科学，生物工程和医学。 公共卫生相关性：临床科学家数量的下降是对神经系统疾病新疗法开发的一个真实的威胁，因为这一群体在学术界、生物技术和制药公司中占据了以疾病为导向的研究人员的行列。这一下降的部分原因是培训过程漫长，未来的资金没有保障。该计划将允许神经病学的居民中断他们的临床培训，以发展临床或基于实验室的技能，并产生足够的初步数据，以加强他们从居住到研究密集型机构的教师职位的过渡。
