Research Education Program for Residents and Fellows in Neurology

描述（由申请人提供）：该研究教育计划旨在提供调查科学的教学，除了保护时间，结构，资源，指导和研究技能培训，以多样化和优秀的神经病学居民，他们将成为临床神经科学研究的下一代领导者。我们的计划的一些独特的方面是（1），我们能够提供九个月的80%的保护时间为研究教育和研究参与居住期间;和（2），我们对每个参与者都与高级导师和初级导师谁是密切参与者的研究和培训。霍普金斯的环境是跨学科的高度合作，并提供一流的研究教育资源，通过临床和转化科学奖，公共卫生的彭博学院，脑科学研究所，神经ICE（细胞工程研究所），柯比功能成像中心，大脑研究所，和许多其他跨学科的计划。该计划还旨在培养一批有才华和鼓舞人心的导师，他们将继续为榜样和有效的教练服务，使居民和研究员成为独立的临床科学家，热衷于发现神经系统疾病的机制，改善神经系统疾病的诊断和治疗，促进神经功能的恢复。我们通过高级导师对初级导师的指导，以及结构化的反馈和评估来实现这一目标。迄今为止，这项赠款已支持10名特殊居民，他们都仍然积极从事研究。其中三人在医学院担任教职，其中两人已申请K23资金（待审查）。其他人则继续接受住院医师培训或研究金培训。该计划也非常成功地招募了参与者和初级导师，他们来自传统上在科学领域代表性不足的少数民族。我们还非常成功地吸收妇女担任导师和学员。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This Research Education Program is designed to provide teaching in the science of investigation, in addition to protected time, structure, resources, mentoring, and research skills training to diverse and outstanding neurology residents who will become the next generation of leaders in clinical neuroscience research. Some unique aspects of our programs are (1) that we are able to provide nine months of 80% protected time for research education and research participation during residency; and (2) that we pair each participant with both a Senior Mentor and a Junior Mentor who are closely engaged in the participant's research and training. The Hopkins environment is highly collaborative across disciplines and provides superb research education resources, through the Clinical and Translational Science Award, the Bloomberg School of Public Health, The Brain Sciences Institute, Neuro-ICE (Institute of Cellular Engineering), the Kirby Functional Imaging Center, The Mind Brain Institute, and many other interdisciplinary programs. This program is also designed to develop a diverse group of talented and inspirational mentors who will continue to serve role models and effective coaches, enabling residents and fellows to become independent clinician scientists with a passion for discovery in the mechanisms of neurological disease, improving diagnosis and treatment of neurological disease, and facilitating recovery of neurological function. We accomplish this aim through mentoring of Junior Mentors by Senior Mentors, with structured feedback and evaluations. To date this grant has supported 10 exceptional residents, who all remain actively engaged in research. Three have faculty positions in medical schools, and two of these have applied for K23 funding (pending review). The others remain in residency or fellowship training. The program has also been exceptionally successful in recruiting participants and Junior Mentors from minorities that are traditionally under-represented in science. We have also been very successful in including women both as mentors and mentees.
