Building Research Aspirations In Neurology

节目摘要/摘要 在治疗和预防一系列致残神经疾病方面的进展严重阻碍了 美国神经病学中代表不足的少数民族(URM)临床医生和研究人员的短缺。帮助填补这一空白 GAP，我们在纽约大学朗格尼分校提出了Brain(建立神经学研究抱负)R25计划 健康。大脑计划是一个跨学科的计划，将介绍本科生 对神经科学感兴趣的临床神经学研究，重点是减轻负担 神经性疾病。在神经性疾病的严重性和 与在服务不足的人群中获得护理有关的问题，目前尚不清楚某些治疗是否 对某些民族和种族群体更有利。因此，随着神经科医生的日益短缺， 大脑是为了改善神经学管道，并进行研究，帮助提高知识和 治疗这些繁重的病症。参加该项目的学生将学习到翻译 神经科学、流行病学和以患者为中心的研究。培养和发展年轻临床医生 为了满足科研人员这种迫切的健康需求，八到十名本科生，大部分 那些来自URM团体，在纽约市的本科院校就读的人将被选中参加 在每年夏天为期10周的强化实践研究和教育培训中， 整个学年的学习经历。在学年期间，学生们将继续他们的 研究，意在在区域和国家会议上提交和展示他们的研究，并出版 他们的发现发表在同行评议的出版物上。将每月举行一次头脑会议，其中将包括职业生涯 关于领导力发展和时间管理等主题的发展会议，并计划 签到，以确保学生的摘要和手稿准备工作如期进行 意见书。总而言之，大脑计划将包括指挥和沟通方面的教育 研究以及执行个人或小组为基础的研究顶峰项目。我们会追踪 Brain计划的短期表现指标和对以下职业发展轨迹的长期影响 完成大脑计划的学生。我们预计智障学生将继续他们的教育，进入 医学院致力于临床研究，最终，超越了这个项目的时间表， 攻读神经学课程，并考虑成为神经学临床医生兼研究员的职业。

PROGRAM SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Progress in treating and preventing a range of disabling neurological conditions is severely hampered by a shortage of underrepresented minority (URM) clinician-researchers in neurology in the US. To help fill this gap, we propose the BRAIN (Building Research Aspirations In Neurology) R25 program at NYU Langone Health. The BRAIN program is an interdisciplinary program that will introduce undergraduate students interested in the neurosciences to clinical neurology research that focuses on reducing the burden of neurologic disease. There are significant healthcare disparities in terms of neurologic disease severity and issues related to access to care within underserved populations, and it is unknown whether certain treatments are better for certain ethnic and racial groups. Thus, with the growing shortage of neurologists, the aim of BRAIN is to improve the neurology pipeline and to conduct research that helps advance knowledge and treatment of these burdensome conditions. Students in the program will learn about translational neuroscience, epidemiology, and patient-centered research. To train and develop young clinician researchers to meet the urgency of this health need, eight to ten undergraduate students, the majority of whom are from URM groups, who attend undergraduate institutions within NYC, will be selected to participate in an intensive 10-week hands-on research and education training each summer followed by an extended learning experience throughout the academic year. During the academic year, students will continue their research with the intent to submit and present their research at regional and national meetings, and publish their findings in peer-reviewed publications. There will be monthly BRAIN meetings which will include career development sessions on topics such as leadership development and time management, and scheduled check-ins to ensure the students are on track with their abstract and manuscript preparations and submissions. In summary, the BRAIN program will comprise education on conducting and communicating research as well as performing an individual or small group -based research capstone project. We will track both short-term performance metrics of the BRAIN program and longer-term impacts on career trajectories for students completing the BRAIN program. We expect BRAIN students will continue their education by entering medical school to pursue a career in clinical research, and that ultimately, beyond the timeline of this program, pursue a neurology program and consider a career as a clinician -researcher in neurology.
