Neuroscience Resident Research Program

描述(申请人提供)：项目描述：本建议书描述了哈佛医学院(HMS)麻省总医院(MGH)和布里格姆妇女医院(BWH)神经病学和神经外科住院医师的研究培训计划。该项目将这些校园提供的各种令人兴奋的合作研究机会与专门的神经科学导师核心团队结合在一起。PIs根据研究活动、在成功研究生涯早期指导临床医生的经验以及对将神经学和神经外科住院医生培养成有效的内科科学家的计划的承诺，精心挑选导师。在创建这一申请期间，一个指导委员会定期举行会议，并将密切监督驻地研究培训经验的所有方面。 公共卫生相关性：神经疾病的转化性和临床研究是被广泛认可的需要。神经学和神经外科住院医师实习生是即将完成临床培训的年轻医生，他们对当前技术的局限性有第一手知识。马萨诸塞州总医院和哈佛医学院布里格姆妇女医院的许多住院医生都有广泛的研究背景，并表达了对神经学研究的兴趣。这一应用程序将把哈佛系统中可用的巨大深度和广度的研究资源与一小群敬业的资深神经科学家联系起来。这些科学家都是活跃的研究人员，他们拥有丰富的培训年轻内科研究人员的经验，他们非常关心神经学研究的未来。这些资深科学家将担任导师，指导神经科住院医师的初步研究经验。一个指导委员会将帮助匹配住院医生和导师，并将监测该计划有效性的方方面面。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Project Description: This proposal describes the Research Training Program for Neurology and Neurosurgery Residents at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) of Harvard Medical School (HMS). The program combines the exciting variety of collaborative research opportunities available at these campuses with a dedicated core group of neuroscience mentors. Mentors have been carefully selected by the PIs on the basis of research activity, experience guiding clinicians in the early stages of successful research careers, and commitment to this program to develop neurology and neurosurgery residents into effective physician-scientists. A steering committee has been meeting regularly during the creation of this application and will closely oversee all aspects of the resident research training experience. Public Health Relevance: There is a widely recognized need for translational and clinical research in neurological diseases. Neurology and neurosurgery resident trainees are young physicians who are completing their clinical training and have first-hand knowledge of the limits of current technologies. Many of the residents at Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women's Hospitals of Harvard Medical School have extensive research backgrounds, and have expressed interest in neurological research. This application will link the tremendous depth and breadth of research resources available in the Harvard system to a small group of dedicated senior neuroscientists. These scientists are active researchers who have abundant experience training young physician researchers and who care deeply about the future of neurological research. These senior scientists will serve as mentors to guide the initial research experience of the neurology residents. A steering committee will help match residents and mentors and will monitor all aspects of the program's efficacy.
