USC Stimulating Access to Research in Residency (USC-StARR) Program

项目总结 为了解决公认的医生-科学家队伍的下降问题，需要新的方法来 招募有才华的医生从事研究，作为他们医疗培训和未来职业生涯不可或缺的一部分。这个 促进住院研究(STARR)计划提供了一个新的研究访问点，通过 加速住院医师在实习期间从事有意义的研究工作。南加州大学-STAR项目 将吸引来自普通外科、综合血管外科和 综合心胸外科住院医师计划。我们设计了一个密集的、24个月的、连续的 斯塔尔计划。南加州大学-斯塔尔项目的目标是招募、培训和指导一群杰出的 驻地研究人员掌握严谨的研究技能，进行高影响力、与临床相关的研究 项目，并开始有前途的职业生涯作为外科医生-心血管和肺部科学的科学家。我们的 该计划将包括两个研究轨道：1)基础和翻译研究和2)健康结果， 社区参与、传播和实施研究。我们的目标一定会实现 通过以下具体目标：1)每年招聘和培训3名有潜力的驻地调查员 并致力于成为成功的外科医生-心血管或肺部科学领域的科学家；2)指南 这些常驻调查人员在获得更先进的方法、分析和协作研究方面 与他们的培训水平相适应的技能；3)创建和支持有效、有影响力和持久的导师 实习期间和实习后的关系；以及4)指导驻地调查员成功竞争其他 临床和转化性研究支持的形式，将为他们追求长期职业生涯铺平道路 作为外科医生和科学家。多项目主任结构将为以下项目提供行政和科学领导 这个项目。驻地调查员将可以接触到精心挑选的研究人员干部 有了NIH持续的资金，再加上指导早期职业学者的成功记录。一群人 四名高度敬业和有成就的资深科学家将在该计划的咨询委员会任职。 每个驻地调查员将与他们的研究主管、咨询委员会和科学委员会合作 主任实现他们的个人和计划目标，对他们的进展提供独立的评估，以及 制定、建议和跟踪他们的独立职业发展计划。这一创新技术的影响 提案将增加南加州大学普通外科、综合血管外科、 和综合心胸外科住院医师培训计划，以促进外科医生的发展- 心血管和肺科学领域的科学家。通过这个项目，我们将提高 这些外科医生-科学家过渡到其他形式的研究和职业发展支持。

PROJECT SUMMARY To address the widely recognized decline in the physician-scientist workforce, new approaches are needed to recruit talented physicians to pursue research as an integral part of their medical training and future careers. The Stimulating Access to Research in Residency (StARR) initiative provides a new point of access to research by accelerating the entry of residents into meaningful research pursuits during residency. The USC-StARR Program will draw the most promising Resident Investigators from the General Surgery, Integrated Vascular Surgery, and Integrated Cardiothoracic Surgery Residency Programs. We have designed an intensive, 24-month, contiguous StARR program. The goal of the USC-StARR program is to recruit, train, and mentor a group of exceptional Resident Investigators in acquiring rigorous research skills, conducting high-impact, clinically relevant research projects, and launching promising careers as surgeon-scientists in cardiovascular and pulmonary science. Our program will include two research tracks: 1) Basic and Translational Research and 2) Health Outcomes, Community Engagement, and Dissemination and Implementation Research. Our goals will be accomplished through the following specific aims: 1) recruit and train three Resident Investigators annually with the potential and commitment to become successful surgeon-scientists in cardiovascular or pulmonary science; 2) guide these Resident Investigators in obtaining more advanced methodological, analytic, and collaborative research skills appropriate for their level of training; 3) create and support effective, influential, and long-lasting mentor relationships during and after residency; and 4) guide Resident Investigators in successfully competing for other forms of clinical and translational research support that will pave the way for them to pursue long-term careers as surgeon-scientists. A Multi-Program Director structure will provide Administrative and Scientific leadership for the program. The Resident Investigators will have access to a cadre of carefully selected Research Preceptors with sustained NIH funding coupled with successful track records of mentoring early career scholars. A group of four highly dedicated and accomplished senior scientists will serve on the Advisory Committee of the program. Each Resident Investigator will work with their Research Preceptor, Advisory Committee, and the Scientific Director to achieve their individual and program goals, to provide independent evaluation of their progress, and to develop, advise on, and track their Independent Career Development Plan. The impact of this innovative proposal will be to increase the ability and capacity of the USC General Surgery, Integrated Vascular Surgery, and Integrated Cardiothoracic Surgery residency training programs to foster the development of surgeon- scientists in the field of cardiovascular and pulmonary science. Through this program, we will increase the ability of these surgeon-scientists to transition to other forms of research and career development support.
