Project Summary This proposal requests a second cycle of support for the Northwestern University Infectious Diseases Education and Science (NuIDeas) Training Program. The goal of this program is to leverage the clinical and basic research expertise and resources available at Northwestern University to train MD and MD/PhD fellows in infectious disease translational research. This training program leverages the considerable clinical expertise of the Infectious Disease clinical faculty with the long-standing basic science strengths in microbiology and immunology at Northwestern University, which together create a rich environment for translational research. The training program serves as a nidus of collaboration between these two groups. Each trainee works with both a primary research mentor and a clinical co-mentor to foster interaction between research and clinical faculty and enhance the translational aspects of the fellow's research experience. A training program consisting of a Masters of Science in Clinical Investigation degree, seminars, career development programs, and education in the ethical conduct of research promotes excellence in research. One highly qualified MD or MD/PhD fellow is chosen each year for a two-year intensive research experience. Furthermore, the Feinberg School of Medicine has funded a second trainee slot, so that a total of two new trainees have been enrolled into the program each year. The first cycle of the NuIDeas Program has been highly successful. Ten fellows were trained. Of the six who have finished training in NuIDeas, five now hold academic infectious disease appointments with protected research time. During the second cycle of funding, we propose to broaden the trainee pool of the NuIDeas Program by including Pediatric Infectious Disease fellows from the affiliated Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago and to expand the panel of mentors to better match research opportunities to the interests of the fellows. Importantly, the Departments of Medicine and Pediatrics are committed to the continued funding of the second NuIDeas training slot. This program will position trainees to assume leadership positions in research and education at a critical time of global infectious disease re-emergence coupled with a shrinking pool of infectious disease subspecialists.

项目摘要 该提案要求为西北大学传染病研究所提供第二轮支持 教育和科学（NuIDeas）培训计划。该计划的目标是利用临床和 西北大学提供基础研究专业知识和资源，以培训MD和MD/PhD研究员 在传染病转化研究中。该培训计划利用了大量的临床专业知识， 传染病临床学院的长期基础科学优势，在微生物学和 免疫学在西北大学，这共同创造了一个丰富的环境转化研究。 培训计划是这两个团体合作的一个据点。每一位学员都与 主要研究导师和临床共同导师，以促进研究和临床之间的互动 教师和提高研究员的研究经验的翻译方面。一个培训项目 包括临床研究硕士学位，研讨会，职业发展计划， 研究道德行为的教育促进了卓越的研究。一个高素质的MD或 MD/PhD研究员每年都会选择为期两年的密集研究经验。此外，Feinberg 医学院已资助第二个见习名额，因此，共有两名新学员入读 每年都加入这个项目。NuIDeas方案的第一个周期非常成功。十名研究员 都受过训练在NuDeas完成培训的六人中，五人现在持有学术传染病证书。 预约受保护的研究时间。在第二轮资助期间，我们建议扩大 NuIDeas计划的受训人员库，包括来自附属Lurie的儿科传染病研究员 芝加哥儿童医院并扩大导师小组，以更好地匹配研究机会， 研究员的利益。重要的是，医学和儿科部门致力于 继续资助NuIDeas的第二个培训时段。该计划将定位学员承担 在全球传染病重新出现的关键时刻，在研究和教育方面的领导地位 再加上传染病专科医生的数量不断减少。
