ABSTRACT The core pillars of academic medicine that serve as the foundation for the training and development of the clinical workforce are widely recognized to be education, research and exceptional patient care. Physician-investigators represent the lifeblood of academic medicine and recent declines in the numbers of this group represent nothing less than an existential threat to academic medicine as it is currently known. Our commitment to work to reverse these trends serves as the basis now for our Stimulating Access to Research in Residency (StARR) program proposal. The University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) Department of Medicine (DOM) has a vibrant clinical program that provides excellent healthcare services to an inner city population of predominantly African-Americans and Hispanic/Latinx patients, in the third largest metropolitan area in the middle of our nation. Our physicians provide care for patients at the UIC Hospital and Clinics (UI Health) and the Jesse Brown Veterans Affairs Medical Center. Stimulated by the opportunities and scientific questions that are presented by this large and unique patient base and active collaborations with outstanding basic science departments at UIC, the entire research portfolio at UIC has been rapidly expanding. At the same time, our internal medicine residency program has been committed to recruiting physicians in training, from diverse backgrounds and life experiences, who are dedicated to our mission. Core to this mission are our ongoing efforts to assume a leading role nationally in the training, growth and development of the next generation of clinician investigators. Notably, the UIC DOM is primely positioned to support this program by virtue of its highly accomplished prospective faculty mentors from across a broad range of research disciplines, a well-established pre-existing commitment to promoting scholarly activities including research amongst trainees and faculty, opportunities to synergize with three existing NHLBI- sponsored T32 training grants within the department, and an internal medicine residency program with core structural components already in place to promote resident research opportunities and career development. Additionally, a key element of our proposal is a commitment to the recruitment of a diverse group of resident- investigators including underrepresented minorities (URM). It is important to note that the UIC StARR program will build on already existing programs and infrastructure with closely aligned goals and objectives. Our program also has the full and unwavering support of the UIC College of Medicine and its leadership.

摘要 学术医学的核心支柱，作为培训和发展的基础，临床 劳动力被广泛认为是教育，研究和特殊的病人护理。医生-研究者 代表着学术医学的命脉，最近这一群体人数的下降并不代表什么。 对目前所知的学术医学来说，这还不算一个生存威胁。我们致力于扭转 这些趋势现在成为我们“激励住院医师参与研究”计划的基础 提议伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校（UIC）医学系（DOM）拥有一个充满活力的临床项目 为以非洲裔美国人为主的市中心人口提供优质的医疗服务， 西班牙裔/拉丁裔患者，在我们国家中部的第三大都市区。我们的医生提供 护理病人在UIC医院和诊所（UI健康）和杰西布朗退伍军人事务医疗 中心受到这个巨大而独特的机会和科学问题的刺激 患者基础和与UIC优秀基础科学部门的积极合作，整个研究 UIC的投资组合一直在迅速扩大。与此同时，我们的内科住院医师计划 一直致力于招募来自不同背景和生活经历的医生，他们是 致力于我们的使命。这一使命的核心是我们不断努力在国家一级发挥领导作用， 下一代临床研究者的培训、成长和发展。值得注意的是，UIC DOM 凭借其高度成就的未来教师导师， 在广泛的研究学科，一个既定的预先存在的承诺，以促进学术 活动包括学员和教师之间的研究，与现有的三个NHLBI协同的机会- 在部门内赞助T32培训赠款，以及内科住院医师计划， 已建立结构性组成部分，以促进驻地研究机会和职业发展。 此外，我们建议的一个关键因素是承诺招聘多样化的居民群体- 包括代表性不足的少数民族（URM）。值得注意的是，UIC StARR计划 将建立在现有的计划和基础设施上，目标和目的紧密一致。我们的节目 也得到了UIC医学院及其领导层的全力支持。
