DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): It is generally acknowledged that there is a dearth of well-trained physician scientists in the United States. A number of recruitment and training mechanisms have been introduced to address this problem. For several reasons, the shortage is particularly acute in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and the need for rehabilitation research is on the rise. In order to address this shortage the PIs submit this proposal for continued support of the Rehabilitation Medicine Scientist Training Program (RMSTP), funded over the last 15 years by the National Center for Medical Rehabilitation Research of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, through the K12 funding mechanism. The specific aims of this program are to: 1. Identify PM&R residents at the beginning of their residency training who demonstrate interest in and potential for independent research careers in academic physiatry. 2. Identify junior PM&R faculty with significant research potential who reside in departments that would be supportive of their further research career development, and who have access to highly qualified mentors. 3. Provide early career counseling and scientific mentorship so that promising candidates are optimally prepared for post-doctoral research training at the completion of their residency, or are able to enter a research fellowship at the faculty level with a high degree of preparedness. 4. Assist promising candidates by linking them with the appropriate mentors and designing appropriate career development plans. 5. Select the best candidates from this potential pool for admission to the funded portion of the RMSTP (Phase I). 6. Ensure that, at least by the time of completion of Phase I of their training (the NIH-funded portion), trainees are hired into academic faculty positions suited to their continued development as independent scientists (Phase II), or have structured career development support from the departments where they already reside. The ultimate aim of this program, to which the above aims all contribute, is to increase the number of rigorously trained, extramurally competitive, and scientifically productive faculty members in PM&R departments, who can contribute to the continued development of physiatric research specifically and rehabilitation science in general.

描述（由申请人提供）：众所周知，美国缺乏训练有素的医生科学家。为解决这一问题，已经采用了一些征聘和培训机制。由于几个原因，短缺在物理医学和康复方面尤为严重，对康复研究的需求正在上升。为了解决这一短缺问题，PI提交了继续支持康复医学科学家培训计划的建议，该计划在过去15年中由国家儿童健康和人类发展研究所国家医疗康复研究中心通过K12资助机制资助。该方案的具体目标是：1.在住院医师培训开始时确定PM&R住院医师，他们表现出对学术物理学独立研究职业的兴趣和潜力。2.确定初级PM&R教师具有显著的研究潜力，他们居住在支持他们进一步研究职业发展的部门，并且可以获得高素质的导师。3.提供早期职业咨询和科学指导，使有前途的候选人在完成居住后为博士后研究培训做好最佳准备，或者能够以高度的准备进入教师级别的研究奖学金。4.帮助有前途的候选人与适当的导师联系，并设计适当的职业发展计划。5.从这一潜在人才库中挑选最佳候选人，以加入RMSTP（第一阶段）的资助部分。6.确保，至少在完成第一阶段的培训（NIH资助的部分）时，学员被雇用到适合他们作为独立科学家继续发展的学术教师职位（第二阶段），或者从他们已经居住的部门获得结构化的职业发展支持。该计划的最终目标，其中上述目标都有助于，是增加PM&R部门的严格培训，extramurally竞争力和科学生产力的教师人数，他们可以为物理学研究的持续发展做出贡献，特别是一般的康复科学。
