SUMMARY Surgeon-scientists are an underrepresented population in academic medicine, and federally funded physician- scientist-led research has been in decline over the past decade. Substantial challenges are faced by surgical trainees seeking research training. Importantly, surgical resident training programs with ample protected time for dedicated experiential research training have effectively contributed to the “pipeline” of successful, independently funded surgeon scientists. These researchers have meaningfully impacted surgical oncology patient care and scientific knowledge. Moreover, there are few opportunities for PhD postdoctoral fellows to work at the intersection of surgery and oncology. The proposed COllaborative Northwestern Surgical Oncology Research Training (CONSORT) program brings together the extensive multidisciplinary oncologic expertise at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine (NUFSM) and the Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center to create a multidisciplinary, two-year research training program consisting of (1) a Health Services and Outcomes Research (HSOR) Track and (2) a Basic Science and Translational (BTS) Research Track. The CONSORT program will draw upon the Northwestern Department of Surgery’s 30-year experience of training in BTS oncology research and the 15-year surgical oncology HSOR resident training collaboration between the Northwestern Institute for Comparative Effectiveness Research in Oncology (NICER-Onc), the HSOR Postdoctoral Fellowship at Northwestern, and the American College of Surgeons (ACS) Cancer Programs. Since 2009, we have trained 44 surgical research trainees who have gone on to oncology-focused academic careers. During a two-year, intensive training period (100% protected time), trainees in the CONSORT program will be immersed in multidisciplinary, experiential research training, using a team science approach, with tailored mentorship and focused didactic teaching (Master’s degree for those without prior advanced degrees). Each trainee will have an experienced and diverse Mentor Team (content and methodological experts), tailored to their training needs. The CONSORT program core curriculum will include courses in study design and analytic approaches, best practices and ethics in research, and career development. Trainees will participate in the workshops, seminars, and research training opportunities at Northwestern and at relevant surgical and oncologic professional societies. Trainees will design and execute research projects that culminate in presentations at major national conferences and publications in high-impact journals. Continuous monitoring and iterative program improvement will be achieved by engagement of a highly accomplished External Advisory Committee and robust evaluation by Northwestern’s Searle Center for Advanced Learning and Teaching. The ultimate goal of the CONSORT program is to increase the number of investigators who successfully achieve academic careers as independently funded surgical oncologic scientists. Northwestern is uniquely positioned to assure the success of the CONSORT program and continuing to develop future surgical oncology scientist leaders and mentors.

概括 外科医生科学家在学术医学中代表性不足，而联邦资助的医生 - 过去十年来，科学家主导的研究一直在下降。外科手术面临巨大挑战 寻求研究培训的学员。重要的是，外科住院医师培训计划有充足的受保护时间 专门的体验式研究培训有效地促进了成功的、独立的“管道” 资助外科医生科学家。这些研究人员对肿瘤外科患者的护理和治疗产生了有意义的影响 科学知识。此外，博士后在该实验室工作的机会很少。 外科和肿瘤学的交叉点。拟议的西北外科肿瘤学合作研究 培训 (CONSORT) 计划汇集了广泛的多学科肿瘤学专业知识 西北大学范伯格医学院 (NUFSM) 和卢里综合癌症中心 创建一个多学科、为期两年的研究培训计划，包括 (1) 卫生服务和 结果研究 (HSOR) 轨道和 (2) 基础科学与转化 (BTS) 研究轨道。这 CONSORT 计划将借鉴西北外科 30 年的培训经验 BTS 肿瘤学研究与 HSOR 肿瘤外科住院医师培训之间长达 15 年的合作 西北肿瘤学比较有效性研究所 (NICER-Onc)，HSOR 西北大学和美国外科医生学院 (ACS) 癌症项目的博士后奖学金。自从 2009 年，我们培训了 44 名外科研究实习生，他们后来从事以肿瘤学为重点的学术职业。 在为期两年的强化培训期间（100%受保护时间），CONSORT计划的学员将 沉浸在多学科、体验式研究培训中，采用团队科学方法，量身定制 指导和集中的教学（对于那些没有高级学位的人来说是硕士学位）。每个 学员将拥有一支经验丰富且多元化的导师团队（内容和方法专家），根据他们的情况量身定制 培训需求。 CONSORT 计划核心课程将包括研究设计和分析课程 研究和职业发展的方法、最佳实践和道德规范。学员将参加 西北大学及相关外科和肿瘤学的讲习班、研讨会和研究培训机会 专业协会。学员将设计和执行研究项目，最终在 重要的国家会议和高影响力期刊上的出版物。持续监控和迭代 计划的改进将通过卓有成效的外部咨询委员会的参与来实现 以及西北大学塞尔高级学习和教学中心的严格评估。最终目标 CONSORT 计划的目的是增加成功实现学术生涯的研究人员数量 作为独立资助的外科肿瘤学科学家。西北大学拥有独特的优势以确保成功 CONSORT 计划的一部分，并继续培养未来的外科肿瘤学科学家领导者和导师。
