Emory Psychiatry Clinical Scientist Training Program (CSTP)

描述（由申请人提供）：埃默里精神病学临床科学家培训计划（CSTP） （R25， NIMH研究教育资助）将创建一个以研究为重点的住院医师培训计划，以解决从事学术研究的训练有素的内科科学家的严重短缺问题。医学研究所认为，维持和培养住院医生的研究兴趣对精神病学研究的未来至关重要。该提案通过四个具体目标系统地解决了这些问题：AIM 1将建立一个增强的研究课程，为所有居民提供广泛的研究方法和批判性思维。这一目标将包括正式的教学，动手实验学习活动，在“从粒子到教授”系列中与教师研究人员接触，一个“导师”

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Emory Psychiatry Clinical Scientist Training Program (CSTP) (R25, NIMH Research Education Grant) will create a research-focused residency training program to address the critical shortage of well-trained physician scientists pursuing a career in academic research. The Institute of Medicine deemed that sustaining and nurturing the research interests of residents is vital to the future of psychiatry research. This proposal systematically addresses these issues through four specific aims: AIM 1 will establish an Enhanced Research Curriculum for a broad-based exposure to research approaches and critical thinking for all residents. This aim will incorporate formal didactics, hands-on experiental learning activities, exposure to faculty researchers in a "Particle to Professor" Series, a "Mentor Match" program to facilitate early integration with program faculty and their research programs, and a two-month Research Intensive Elective to engage and embed motivated residents in research labs in the PGY-2 year. AIM 2 will establish the CSTP Recruitment and Admission process to proactively identify and engage promising residents for participation in the structured, mentor-based CSTP research track. We anticipate the Emory CSTP will become an attractive draw for applicants to the general psychiatry residency program, thus further promoting recruitment of promising physician scientists. AIM 3 will establish the CSTP Mentored Research Track, where CSTP research track residents will have protected time for mentored research and intensive research didactics as well as specialized research training available through the Atlanta Clinical and Translational Science Institute. AIM 4 will establish the Evaluation and Dissemination component of the CSTP, which will monitor measurable benchmarks of progress for research track residents and the program, and will work toward engaging other residency programs to incorporate Emory CSTP strategies to promote resident research training. The overarching goal of the Emory CSTP is to supplement an already thriving and successful Psychiatry Residency Training Program with a strong, research-focused component that includes enhanced research training for all residents, while providing specialized mentored research training opportunities for residents poised to become physician-scientists. The proposed program emphasizes increased access, proactive engagement and innovative mentored research opportunities through internet-based strategies, experiential research learning activities, mentorship throughout residency and exposure to innovative research faculty and research programs in areas including neuromodulation, the neurobiology of fear and trauma-related disorders, behavioral immunology and endocrinology, neurodevelopment, translational social neuroscience and community psychiatry. Given a solid research training base, ongoing faculty support, mentorship, and independent research experiences as well as specialized research training, CSTP research track residents will be well-equipped to pursue academic careers, working to solve the most pressing problems in psychiatry.
