DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): There is a shortage of physician-scientists who can bridge basic research and clinical neurosciences. These are the individuals who can take the discoveries of basic science and use them to understand the mechanisms of neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease or stroke, and to develop novel treatments and biomarkers. Neuropathologists play a key role in this process, as they are specifically trained to study the microscopic and molecular manifestations of disease. They can provide critical insights into the changes present in human neural tissues, as well as those of animal models and based on their unique perspective can generate novel hypotheses or form an essential part of multidisciplinary teams studying neurological disease. The goal of the Johns Hopkins Research Education Program in Experimental Neuropathology is to provide neuropathology residents and fellows with an intensive, mentored research experience during their residency or fellowship. This early immersion in research will help them to develop a research career and prepare them to successfully apply for NIH career development awards (KO8 and K23). To attain this goal, we have assembled a group of highly qualified mentors, both from neuropathology and other neurosciences departments, who will guide the research activities of the trainees. These mentors are physician-scientists and basic researchers with strong track records of independent funding and research, scholarship, and previous training of physician-scientists. Trainees will be selected based on their potential for becoming independent investigators and will be admitted to the program while in their neuropathology residency or fellowship. The trainees will then work for one or two years in the laboratory of a mentor, who will guide and supervise them. The plan for research will be jointly developed by the trainee and mentor and approved by the Program Executive Committee. The trainees will also attend courses in the ethical conduct of research and professional development (grant writing). They will also be able to apply for an Administrative Supplement of the award to extend their research experience once they complete their clinical training. While in the program, the trainees will start writing applications for KO8 or K23 awards. The success of the program will be evaluated by the number of trainees that apply for and succeed in obtaining career development awards (i.e. KO8 and K23) or other major research grants (i.e. R01), pursue research and academic careers, and author significant peer-reviewed publications.

描述（由申请人提供）：缺乏能够连接基础研究和临床神经科学的医师科学家。这些人可以利用基础科学的发现，并利用它们来了解阿尔茨海默病、帕金森病或中风等神经系统疾病的机制，并开发新的治疗方法和生物标志物。神经病理学家在这一过程中发挥着关键作用，因为他们接受过专门培训来研究疾病的微观和分子表现。他们可以对人类神经组织以及动物模型中存在的变化提供重要的见解，并且基于他们独特的视角可以产生新的假设或成为研究神经系统疾病的多学科团队的重要组成部分。约翰·霍普金斯大学实验神经病理学研究教育计划的目标是为神经病理学住院医师和研究员在住院医师或进修期间提供密集的、受指导的研究经验。这种早期的研究投入将帮助他们发展研究生涯，并为成功申请 NIH 职业发展奖（KO8 和 K23）做好准备。为了实现这一目标，我们聚集了一批来自神经病理学和其他神经科学部门的高素质导师，他们将指导学员的研究活动。这些导师是医师科学家和基础研究人员，在独立资助和研究、学术以及先前对医师科学家的培训方面拥有良好的记录。将根据学员成为独立研究者的潜力来选择学员，并在神经病理学住院医师实习或进修期间获准加入该项目。然后，学员将在导师的实验室工作一到两年，导师将指导和监督他们。研究计划将由学员和导师共同制定，并由项目执行委员会批准。学员还将参加研究道德行为和专业发展（资助写作）课程。完成临床培训后，他们还可以申请该奖项的行政补充，以扩展他们的研究经验。在该计划期间，学员将开始撰写 KO8 或 K23 奖项的申请。该计划的成功将根据申请并成功获得职业发展奖（即 KO8 和 K23）或其他主要研究资助（即 R01）、从事研究和学术职业以及撰写重要的同行评审出版物的学员数量来评估。
