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生科学家的渠道： 社会医学和行为研究，并致力于解决国家的挑战， 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 ADRD研究的基础设施，世界一流的医学神经科学研究生培训计划， 社会学，以及我们在印第安纳州大学医学院现有的MD-PhD项目，以培养下一个 一代医生科学家将成为ADRD研究的领导者。IADRD MSTP的目标 是：1）招募和培养一个有竞争力的多元化学生谁拥护强烈的兴趣和 致力于社会和行为研究以及专注于阿尔茨海默病和相关疾病的患者护理 痴呆症; 2）让MD-PhD学生尽早参与指导的社会医学和行为研究， 整合了印第安纳州大学的系统为基础的医疗培训课程与我们的尖端ADRD 研究，加强承诺，并尽量减少医生科学家的磨损ADRD;和3）毕业 拥有双MD-PhD学位的学生，在社会和行为科学方面接受过强大的方法论培训， ADRD的专家，他们将有竞争力的住院医师，并最好是成功的独立调查员 全国的学术医疗中心。为了实现这些目标，我们将开发一个MD-PhD培训计划 在社会，行为和临床研究方法方面进行严格的教学培训，并具有灵活性， 学生将精力集中在一个感兴趣的方法学领域;早期启动ADRD研究 与多学科导师和顾问团队的经验;以及提供教育经验 提高学生成为独立研究者的能力IADRD MSPT将利用 印第安纳州大学现有的ADRD社会医学、行为和临床研究基础设施，拥有 目前的投资组合超过4.08亿美元的资助研究和我们的国际公认和排名博士 医学神经科学和社会学课程，以确定，培训，导师，并成功毕业两个 MD-PhD学生每年。该计划将在行政上取得成功， 一组教师顾问及其与现有成功的MD-PhD计划的组织整合 IUSM有着11年的成功记录，并得到了印第安纳州NIH院长办公室的支持 CTSI，以及一个专门的1000万美元的捐赠给该计划。
