 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Numerous authorities have highlighted the "endangered" pipeline of physician-scientists and in particular the challenges faced by an even rarer breed - the neurosurgeon-scientist. These challenges are myriad and increasing, and include expanding bureaucracy, greater clinical demands, diminishing research time, rapid pace of advancement in basic science, and limited funding for research training. The mission of the WUSM Department of Neurosurgery, its Residency Training Program, and the Neurosurgery Research Education Program proposed in this grant is to train and develop the future generation of neurosurgeon-scientists so that they can not only contribute to but also lead new discoveries in basic, translational, and clinical neuroscience. The structure of this R25 program incorporates several strategic enhancements to an already robust neurosurgery resident research program such that resident participants will be extremely well prepared to obtain the best junior faculty positions in the country and subsequently secure extramural funding including K series career development awards. An excellent institutional environment for neuroscience research and education in the Department of Neurosurgery and allied Clinical and Basic Science Departments supports this training program. The neurosurgery department at Washington University has a long and distinguished track record of training academic neurosurgeons spanning many decades. This success has been particularly strong over the past 10 years, with over 60% of graduates entering academic practice and nearly 20% of graduates becoming successful NIH-funded neurosurgeon-scientists. The proposed Neurosurgery Research Education Program leverages our past educational experiences and the strong neuroscience community at Washington University in order to develop an enhanced and distinct research training track specifically for neurosurgeons who are inclined to pursue academic careers as independent researchers, with the overall long-term goal of ensuring that highly-trained neurosurgeon-scientists will be available to make future advances that will lead to a reduction in the burden of neurological diseases.

 描述（由申请人提供）： 许多权威人士强调了“濒危”的医生科学家管道，特别是一个更罕见的品种所面临的挑战-神经外科医生科学家。这些挑战是无数的，而且越来越多，包括不断扩大的官僚机构，更大的临床需求，减少研究时间，基础科学的快速进步，以及有限的研究培训资金。WUSM神经外科系的使命，其住院医师培训计划和神经外科研究教育计划在此补助金中提出的是培训和发展未来一代的神经外科医生科学家，使他们不仅可以做出贡献，而且还可以领导基础，转化和临床神经科学的新发现。这个R25计划的结构结合了几个战略增强已经强大的神经外科住院医师研究计划，使居民参与者将非常充分的准备，以获得最好的初级教师职位在该国，随后获得校外资金，包括K系列职业发展奖。神经外科系以及相关临床和基础科学系为神经科学研究和教育提供了良好的机构环境，为该培训计划提供支持。华盛顿大学的神经外科系在几十年的学术神经外科医生培训方面有着悠久而杰出的记录。在过去的10年里，这种成功尤为强劲，超过60%的毕业生进入学术实践，近20%的毕业生成为成功的NIH资助的神经外科医生科学家。拟议的神经外科研究教育计划利用我们过去的教育经验和华盛顿大学强大的神经科学社区，专门为那些倾向于作为独立研究人员追求学术生涯的神经外科医生开发增强型和独特的研究培训轨道，总体长期目标是确保训练有素的神经外科医生-科学家们将能够在未来取得进展，从而减少神经系统疾病的负担。
