There is a critical need to grow and strengthen the pipeline of physician scientists who have expertise in sociomedical and behavioral research and are dedicated to addressing the nation's challenges posed by Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The Indiana ADRD Medical Scientist Training Program (IADRD MSTP) was conceived to meet this need. This application leverages the strengths of our robust infrastructure of ADRD research, world class graduate training programs in medical neurosciences and sociology, and our existing MD-PhD program at Indiana University School of Medicine to train the next generation of physician scientists who will become leaders in ADRD research. The Aims of the IADRD MSTP are: 1) To recruit and train a competitive pool of diverse students who espouse a strong interest and commitment to social and behavioral research and patient care focused on Alzheimer's disease and related dementias; 2) To engage MD-PhD students early in mentored sociomedical and behavioral research that integrates Indiana University's systems-based medical training curriculum with our cutting edge ADRD research that reinforces commitment and minimizes attrition of physician-scientists ADRD; and 3) To graduate students with dual MD-PhD degrees with strong methodological training in social and behavioral science and experts in ADRD who will be competitive for residency and be successful independent investigators at the best academic medical centers nationwide. To achieve these aims, we will develop an MD-PhD training program with rigorous didactic training in social, behavioral, and clinical research methods, with flexibility to allow students to focus their effort on one methodological area of interest; early initiation of ADRD research experiences with multidisciplinary teams of mentors and advisors; and the provision of educational experiences that enhance students' abilities to become independent researchers. The IADRD MSPT will leverage the existing ADRD sociomedical, behavioral and clinical research infrastructure at Indiana University that has a current portfolio of over $408 million in funded research and our internationally recognized and ranked doctoral programs in Medical Neurosciences and Sociology to identify, train, mentor, and successfully graduate two MD-PhD students per year. The program will be administratively successful with both its own independent group of faculty advisors and its organizational integration with the existing successful MD-PhD program within the IUSM that has an eleven-year track record of success and is supported by the NIH, Dean's office, Indiana CTSI, and a dedicated $10M endowment to the program.

迫切需要发展和加强具有以下专业知识的医师科学家队伍： 社会医学和行为研究，致力于解决国家面临的挑战 阿尔茨海默病和相关痴呆症（ADRD）。印第安纳州 ADRD 医学科学家培训计划 (IADRD MSTP) 就是为了满足这一需求而设计的。该应用程序利用了我们强大的优势 ADRD 研究基础设施、医学神经科学方面世界一流的研究生培训项目以及 社会学，以及我们在印第安纳大学医学院现有的医学博士项目，以培训下一代 一代医学科学家将成为 ADRD 研究的领导者。 IADRD MSTP 的目标 是： 1) 招收和培养一批有竞争力的、具有强烈兴趣和兴趣的多元化学生 致力于以阿尔茨海默病及相关疾病为重点的社会和行为研究以及患者护理 痴呆症； 2) 让医学博士-博士生尽早参与指导的社会医学和行为研究， 将印第安纳大学基于系统的医学培训课程与我们最先进的 ADRD 相结合 加强承诺并尽量减少医师科学家 ADRD 流失的研究； 3) 毕业 拥有医学博士-博士学位双学位的学生，在社会和行为科学方面接受过严格的方法论培训， ADRD 专家，他们将在住院医师资格方面具有竞争力，并且最好成为成功的独立调查员 全国学术医疗中心。为了实现这些目标，我们将制定医学博士-博士培训计划 在社会、行为和临床研究方法方面接受严格的教学培训，并具有灵活性 学生将精力集中在感兴趣的一个方法论领域； ADRD研究的早期启动 与多学科导师和顾问团队合作的经验；以及提供教育经验 提高学生成为独立研究人员的能力。 IADRD MSPT 将利用 印第安纳大学现有的 ADRD 社会医学、行为和临床研究基础设施 目前资助的研究组合超过 4.08 亿美元，我们的博士生获得国际认可和排名 医学神经科学和社会学项目，旨在识别、培训、指导并成功毕业两个 每年MD-PhD学生。该计划将在管理上取得成功，拥有自己的独立 教师顾问小组及其与现有成功的医学博士-博士项目的组织整合 IUSM 拥有十一年的成功记录，并得到印第安纳州院长办公室 NIH 的支持 CTSI，并为该计划提供了 1000 万美元的专门捐赠。
