DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Throughout its history, the Department of Neurology at Mount Sinai has excelled in training academic neurologists. Over the past two years, under the Chairmanship of Dr. Sealfon, a scientist-neurologist, the Department of Neurology at Mount Sinai has directed itself towards facilitating and improving the training of outstanding neurologist-researchers. The present application to establish a formal NINDS-supported research- resident training program is a cornerstone of an effort that involves all aspects of the department and all stages of career development. Over two years we have recruited sixteen new faculty members, including several neurologist-scientists, redesigned the preclinical neuroscience course, developed a 12 week neurology/psychiatry/neuroradiology/neurosurgery/research third year clerkship, increased the size of our residency from 18 to 24 residents, designed a new neuroscience-at-noon neurology residents program taught by faculty from half a dozen departments, established formal residency research and junior faculty mentoring programs, received approval for one new fellowship program (with others in the works) and recruited outstanding academic and research-oriented resident cohorts. The PI, Dr. Sealfon, has been continuously funded by NIH for 23 years, has previously directed a T32 program and is wholeheartedly committed to the training of neurologist-scientists. As is typical of our collegial and dynamic institution, our experienced research training faculty is selected from several departments in addition to Neurology. The training program will provide a formal closely-mentored clinical or basic research experience during residency and fellowship to develop the skills, data and publications to submit a career development award and to succeed in a research- intensive department like ours. Success of the program will be judged by the trainee's rate of obtaining K08 and K23 awards, their academic placement and their research contributions. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Neurological disorders, which include dementia, stroke, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, infection and neurodegenerative diseases, cause a significant burden of morbidity and mortality. The rate of translation of the advances in knowledge occurring in neuroscience into improved treatments for these diseases will accelerate with improved training and success of neurologist-scientists. This program will provide outstanding neurology residents with the skills needed to succeed in an academic research career and to help change improve the diagnosis and treatment of neurological disease.

描述(由申请人提供)：在其整个历史中，西奈山神经科在培训学术神经学家方面表现出色。在过去两年中，在科学家兼神经学家Sealfon博士的主持下，西奈山神经病学系致力于促进和改进对杰出神经科医生和研究人员的培训。目前申请建立NINDS支持的正式研究-住院医生培训计划是一项涉及该部门所有方面和职业发展所有阶段的努力的基石。在两年多的时间里，我们招募了16名新教员，其中包括几名神经科科学家，重新设计了临床前神经科学课程，开发了12周的neurology/psychiatry/neuroradiology/neurosurgery/research第三年助理课程，将住院医生的人数从18人增加到24人，设计了一个新的中午神经科学住院医师计划，由来自六个系的教师授课，建立了正式的住院医生研究和初级教师指导计划，一个新的研究员计划(与其他正在进行的项目)获得批准，并招募了优秀的学术和研究导向的住院医生队伍。Sealfon博士由NIH连续资助了23年，此前曾指导过一个T32项目，并全心全意地致力于神经学家和科学家的培训。作为典型的大学和充满活力的机构，我们的经验丰富的研究培训教师是从神经科以外的几个系挑选出来的。该培训计划将在住院医师和研究员期间提供正式的、密切指导的临床或基础研究经验，以发展技能、数据和出版物，以提交职业发展奖，并在像我们这样的研究密集型部门取得成功。该计划的成功与否将根据学员获得K08和K23奖项的比率、他们的学术安置和他们的研究贡献来评判。 公共卫生相关性：神经系统疾病，包括痴呆症、中风、帕金森氏病、癫痫、多发性硬化症、感染和神经退行性疾病，造成严重的发病率和死亡率负担。随着神经学家-科学家的培训和成功，神经科学知识的进步转化为这些疾病的改进治疗的速度将会加快。该计划将为优秀的神经科住院医生提供在学术研究生涯中取得成功所需的技能，并帮助改变改善神经疾病的诊断和治疗。
