DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application seeks to begin funding of a training program at Washington University for physician scientists and select Ph.D. scientists for a career in anesthesiology-related research. Anesthesiology has an increasing impact on overall patient care and outcomes through a comprehensive perioperative care model. However, research that might improve perioperative patient outcomes is limited by the number of well-trained scientists and physicians devoted to a career in anesthesiology research. This application seeks to increase the number of well-trained anesthesiology researchers by instituting a formal training program in anesthesiology research at Washington University, which has one of the largest anesthesiology research programs in the US. The training program will be administered by a program director (PD) and an executive advisory committee (EAC). The largest pool of qualified applicants for the training program will come from newly established Washington University Anesthesiology residency special research track programs that are filled with highly qualified and motivated physician scientists desiring training for a career in academic anesthesiology. Two trainees per year will be enrolled in the program with a training period of approximately two years for each trainee. Trainees will be selected for the program by the PD and EAC through a formal application process that includes a written research proposal and an interview with the PD. A formal plan for recruitment of underrepresented minorities and the disabled will be in place. Trainees judged to have the greatest commitment to a career in anesthesiology-related research and to have the greatest potential to advance the science and/or practice of anesthesiology will be selected. Program faculty have been carefully chosen as mentors for the trainees based on the quality and relevance of their science and demonstrated mentorship experience. A few junior faculty were also included in the program because of the high relevance and importance of their research to anesthesiology; trainees working with junior faculty will also be mentored by select senior faculty. Trainees will be paired with research mentors with the advice of an academic advisor assigned to a potential trainee upon entering residency or fellowship. Trainee-mentor pairing will be reviewed by the PD and EAC for approval. All trainees will be required to take three courses in scientific writing, grantsmanship, and ethical and legal issues in research that are offered by the Washington University Clinical Research Training Center. Trainees having clinical/translational research interests will take additional courses in statistics, clinical research study design, and epidemiology. Trainees will be formally evaluated twice annually by their research mentor, academic advisor, the PD, and the EAC. Emphasis during these evaluations will be placed on attaining milestones such as manuscript and grant submissions and on progress towards development of an independent research program. Likewise, the training program will be evaluated twice annually by the PD and EAC with input from biannual written and oral evaluations by the trainees.

描述(由申请者提供)：此申请旨在开始资助华盛顿大学内科科学家的培训计划，并挑选博士科学家从事麻醉学相关研究。麻醉学通过全面的围手术期护理模式，对整体患者护理和预后产生越来越大的影响。然而，可能改善围手术期患者预后的研究受到致力于麻醉学研究事业的训练有素的科学家和医生数量的限制。这项申请旨在通过在华盛顿大学设立麻醉学研究的正式培训计划来增加训练有素的麻醉学研究人员的数量，华盛顿大学拥有美国最大的麻醉学研究项目之一。培训计划将由一名计划主任(PD)和一个执行咨询委员会(EAC)管理。培训计划最大的合格申请者将来自新设立的华盛顿大学麻醉学住院医师特别研究跟踪项目，这些项目充满了渴望接受学术生涯培训的高素质和积极的内科科学家 麻醉学。该方案每年招收两名学员，每名学员的培训期约为两年。受训者将由PD和EAC通过正式申请程序挑选，其中包括一份书面研究计划书和与PD的面谈。将制定一项招募任职人数不足的少数民族和残疾人的正式计划。被评为对麻醉学相关研究有最大承诺，并具有最大潜力推动麻醉学科学和/或实践的受训人员将被选中。项目教师是根据他们科学的质量和相关性以及所展示的指导经验精心挑选出来的。一些初级教员也被包括在该项目中，因为他们的研究与麻醉学具有很高的相关性和重要性；与初级教员合作的实习生也将得到选定的高级教员的指导。实习生将被配对 在研究导师的指导下，在进入住院医生或研究员职位时，分配给潜在学员的学术顾问的建议。学员-导师配对将由规划署和选管会进行审查，以获得批准。所有受训人员将被要求参加由华盛顿大学临床研究培训中心提供的三门课程，内容涉及科学写作、授权精神以及研究中的伦理和法律问题。对临床/翻译研究感兴趣的学员将选修统计学、临床研究研究设计和流行病学方面的额外课程。受训者将由他们的研究导师、学术顾问、PD和选管会每年进行两次正式评估。在这些评估过程中，重点将放在实现里程碑，如手稿和赠款提交，以及在发展独立研究计划方面的进展。同样，PD和EAC将每年对培训计划进行两次评估，并由受训人员每年进行两次书面和口头评估。
