Neuroscience Resident Research Program

描述(由申请人提供)：这是一份更新建议书，描述了哈佛医学院(HMS)麻省总医院(MGH)和布里格姆妇女医院(BWH)为神经病学和神经外科住院医师提供的研究培训计划。该计划将这些校区提供的各种令人兴奋的合作研究机会与一个专门的神经科学导师核心团队结合在一起，形成一个两级系统，其中包括一名负责R25候选人整体职业发展的“门户”导师和一名直接负责候选人科学活动的“研究”导师。导师是根据研究活动、在成功研究生涯早期指导临床医生的经验以及对该计划的承诺精心挑选的，该计划旨在将神经学和神经外科住院医生培养成有效的内科科学家。此外，一个指导委员会将密切监督驻地研究培训经验的所有方面。这个项目在最初5年的资助中已经取得了巨大的成功，其中包括23名学员，他们出版了许多有影响力的第一作者出版物，并获得了基金会以及K12和K23的资助。这一方案结构建立在这些成功的基础上，以确保神经学和神经外科住院医师获得尽可能高水平的培训，以开始作为杰出内科科学家的职业生涯。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a renewal proposal describing the Research Training Program for Neurology and Neurosurgery Residents at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) of Harvard Medical School (HMS). The program combines the exciting variety of collaborative research opportunities available at these campuses with a dedicated core group of neuroscience mentors aligned in a two tiered system which includes a 'gateway' mentor responsible for the overall career development of the R25 candidate and a 'research' mentor directly responsible for the scientific activities of the candidate. Mentors have been carefully selected on the basis of research activity, experience guiding clinicians in the early stages of successful research careers, and commitment to this program to develop neurology and neurosurgery residents into effective physician-scientists. In addition, a steering committee will closely oversee all aspects of the resident research training experience. This program has already had tremendous success in its first 5 years of funding which has included 23 trainees who have produced numerous high-impact first author publications and earned foundation as well as K12 and K23 funding. This programmatic structure builds on these successes to ensure that neurology and neurosurgical residents obtain the highest level of training possible to launch careers as outstanding physician-scientists.
