DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This new competing application requests support for establishment of an institutional NRSA in Neurological infectious Diseases at Johns Hopkins University. Neurological infections are a major cause of morbidity and mortality yet currently there are no other training programs in the country focused on neurological infections. We plan to develop a post-doctoral fellowship training program and will provide an exceptional training environment. Our training program is strengthened by the interaction of the following: an interdisciplinary approach to neurological infectious disease; focus on underserved populations, including those in resource limited countries; emphasis on scientific and methodological rigor in the design of patient-oriented or laboratory research; diverse opportunities to conduct ethically sound, community-based research both domestically and internationally; and broad clinical and research expertise in several different areas. We are requesting support for 2 post-doctoral slots during the first year of training, increasing thereafter to 3 post-doctoral slots. The trainees will pursue one of three tracks of training in neurological infections which includes laboratory based research, clinical and translational research or international research. Post-doctoral training will focus on mentored research, either in patient-oriented or laboratory areas, with a faculty advisor guiding research analysis, paper and grant writing. Our approach to training scientists for careers in Neurological Infectious Diseases will emphasize flexibility and a customized training program based on a core curriculum and the availability of the Graduate Training Program in Clinical Investigation. Training faculty has many years of experience with successful post-doctoral training and mentoring neurologists and other clinician-scientists. The success of our training program will be measured by research experiences, plus a wide array of studies and we anticipate that trainees from this program will compete successfully for KOS or K23 funding. These grant funds will provide a core of essential support for our Neurological Infectious Disease Research Training Program. This proposal will fulfill an important and critical need for training a future generation of clinician scientists RELEVANCE: The proposal will create a new training program for clinician scientists In neuro-infectious diseases. Neuroinfectlous diseases are a significant cause of morbidity, mortality and prolonged hospitalization. Yet, the eitiology and pathophysiology of many of these disaeses is poorly understood and no treatemtment is available. This program will be the first of its kind in the country devoted to training the next generation of researchers who specialize in these diseases.

描述（由申请人提供）：这份新的竞争性申请请求支持在约翰霍普金斯大学建立一个机构性神经传染病NRSA。神经系统感染是发病率和死亡率的主要原因，但目前该国还没有其他针对神经系统感染的培训项目。我们计划制定博士后奖学金培训计划，并将提供一个特殊的培训环境。我们的培训计划通过以下方面的相互作用得到加强：神经传染病的跨学科方法；重点关注服务不足的人口，包括资源有限国家的人口；在病人导向或实验室研究的设计中强调科学和方法的严谨性；在国内和国际上进行合乎伦理的、基于社区的研究的各种机会；在多个不同领域拥有广泛的临床和研究专业知识。我们要求第一年培养2个博士后，之后增加到3个博士后。受训者将在神经系统感染的三个培训轨道中选择一个，包括实验室研究、临床和转化研究或国际研究。博士后培训将侧重于指导研究，无论是在以患者为导向的领域还是在实验室领域，由一名指导教师指导研究分析、论文和拨款写作。我们在神经传染病领域培养科学家的方法将强调灵活性和基于核心课程的定制培训计划以及临床研究研究生培训计划的可用性。培训师资队伍拥有多年成功的博士后培训和指导神经学家和其他临床科学家的经验。我们的培训计划的成功将通过研究经验和广泛的研究来衡量，我们预计该计划的学员将成功竞争KOS或K23资金。这些拨款将为我们的神经传染病研究培训计划提供核心基本支持。这一建议将满足培养下一代临床科学家的重要和关键需求
