DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal aims to develop and implement a residency training research track with the explicit goal of recruiting MD, PhD and medical graduates with a track record in conducting research. The program will provide early exposure to clinical research to stimulate interest in translational research among our basic science trainees. The program provides 7 months of exposure to translational research in both inpatient and outpatient clinical research settings, and 16 months of protected time for a mentored research project. These months will be augmented by intensive mentoring, overseen by the PIs, functioning as "meta-mentors," as well as preceptorship focused on ethics, statistics, research design and principles of translational research. All this will be attained while meeting ACGME requirements so that graduates will be board eligible. We anticipate that such a track, which we conceptualize as a 4 year program, will permit research track residents to "jump start" their research career while still residents, rendering them to better prepared for research fellowships and the K award process, ultimately leading to board eligibility, we offer our trainees a "no-risk" path towards enhanced likelihood of success as independent investigators. This approach is intended to remedy the current state of affairs wherein MD, PhDs often are faced with "re-starting" their research after a hiatus created by the need for clinical training. We anticipate educating physician-scientists to enhance the pipeline of translational investigators, a key goal of the NIMH.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案旨在开发和实施住院医师培训研究轨道，其明确目标是招募具有研究记录的医学博士、博士和医学毕业生。该计划将让我们的基础科学学员尽早接触临床研究，以激发他们对转化研究的兴趣。该计划提供 7 个月的住院和门诊临床研究环境中的转化研究机会，以及 16 个月的受指导研究项目的保护时间。这几个月将通过 PI 监督、充当“元导师”的密集指导以及专注于伦理、统计、研究设计和转化研究原则的指导来增强。所有这一切都将在满足 ACGME 要求的同时实现，以便毕业生有资格获得董事会资格。我们预计，这样一个我们将其概念化为 4 年计划的轨道将允许研究轨道居民在还是居民的同时“快速开始”他们的研究生涯，使他们为研究奖学金和 K 奖流程做好更好的准备，最终获得董事会资格，我们为我们的学员提供了一条“无风险”的途径，以提高作为独立研究者的成功可能性。这种方法旨在纠正目前的状况，即医学博士、博士在因临床培训的需要而中断后经常面临“重新开始”他们的研究的情况。我们期望对医师科学家进行教育，以加强转化研究人员的培养，这是 NIMH 的一个关键目标。
