DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Clinician scientists in infectious diseases must serve as leaders in the development of new strategies to effectively prevent, diagnose, and treat infection. This requires clinicians to build upon scientific advancements from varied disciplines through collaboration with basic scientists, clinical investigators, and translational researchers whose work is "bench to bedside". Given the current nature of post-doctoral MD research training, relatively few physicians have the interdisciplinary clinical and research training needed to conduct high quality research that address infectious diseases. Also, with the global burden of infectious disease, clinical researchers who are able to conduct basic science, clinical investigation and translational research on an international level is imperative. The ultimate goals of this research training program is to develop academic leaders in infectious diseases by 1) providing a dynamic, highly collaborative training environment with outstanding research opportunities, particularly for those interested in international ID; 2) providing a structured supportive training process that consistently trains research-na¿ve physicians producing productive physician-investigators who have successfully competed for extramural funds after program graduation; and 3) promoting the academic success of underrepresented minority and women physician-investigators, critical for the future creditability of academic medicine. We propose to achieve this goal by providing two years of integrated research experience and coursework to post-doctoral fellows in Adult Infectious Diseases at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. The Johns Hopkins University is uniquely qualified to develop and maintain such a program given the on-going research of our faculty, the successful outcomes of our previous trainees, the resources available, and the continuous influx of bright dedicated infectious diseases physicians. The proposed training program will be unique at Johns Hopkins University because of its emphasis on the development of successful leaders in infectious diseases research.

描述(由申请人提供)：传染病的临床科学家必须在制定有效预防、诊断和治疗感染的新策略方面发挥领导作用。这需要临床医生通过与基础科学家、临床研究人员和翻译研究人员的合作，在不同学科的科学进步的基础上再接再厉，他们的工作是从床到床。 鉴于目前博士后MD研究培训的性质，相对较少的医生拥有进行高质量研究以应对传染病所需的跨学科临床和研究培训。此外，在传染病的全球负担下，能够在国际层面进行基础科学、临床调查和转化研究的临床研究人员势在必行。 这一研究培训计划的最终目标是通过以下方式培养传染病领域的学术领袖：1)提供一个充满活力、高度协作的培训环境，提供出色的研究机会，特别是对那些对国际ID感兴趣的人；2)提供结构化的支持性培训过程，持续培训研究人员--产出多产的医生--项目毕业后成功争取到校外资金的医生--研究人员；以及3)促进代表性不足的少数族裔和女性医生-研究人员的学术成功，这对学术医学的未来信誉至关重要。我们建议通过向约翰霍普金斯医学院成人传染病博士后提供两年的综合研究经验和课程工作来实现这一目标。 约翰·霍普金斯大学是唯一有资格开发和维持这样一个项目的机构，因为我们的教职员工正在进行研究，我们之前的实习生取得了成功，可用的资源，以及才华横溢、敬业的传染病医生不断涌入。拟议中的培训计划在约翰·霍普金斯大学将是独一无二的，因为它强调培养传染病研究领域的成功领导者。
