DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is the competitive renewal of a T32 training grant that has provided intensive training in Imaging Research with the overall goal of increasing the number of clinician scientists employing imaging in their future research careers. There is an increasingly serious need for such physicians to become the future teachers and mentors in our major clinical specialties. In particular, Radiology has had a relatively weak history of providing formal training and research opportunities as part of the Clinical Residency Program and yet imaging methodology is now pervading many medical/scientific disciplines. Given the interdisciplinary nature of imaging, we have been fortunate to be able to include in addition to Radiology, T32 proposed departments/programs such as General Internal Medicine, Neurology, Neuropathology, Psychiatry, Surgery, and in this renewal, Oncology and Pediatric trainees. During the last 4 years and expected year 5, we have successfully filled the majority of our slots uniquely co-funded by several NIH institutes. Non-faculty residents and fellowship physicians, especially in Radiology and the T32 proposed departments/programs, will obtain a structured, rigorous research training that they would not normally receive. Didactic coursework will be obtained during the clinical years including identification of training mentors and labs followed b a minimum of 1 to 2 years of formal full- time T32 funded research. This also will directly be integrated with existing more advanced training programs, including M.S and Ph.D. degree granting programs and clinical investigation, as well as opportunities and basic science and public health programs. By starting early in their careers, we anticipate this may ultimately have a major effect on the career paths these trainee physicians will take. The ultimate outcome will be increased numbers of physicians who will carry out a research career integrated with both basic and applied approaches. The training program will consist of explicit didactic courses prior to the training year, followed by a full semester of courses during the T32 training years and carefully assigned mentors and laboratories. The faculty is drawn not only from Radiology but from the associated basic departments including Bioengineering, Electrical Engineering, Psychology, and Public Health. Thus, trainees will train not only in Radiology and the other T32 proposed department/program laboratories, but in affiliated departments at Johns Hopkins University and Intramural NIH (Baltimore and Bethesda), as well as potential industrial scientific labs, providing a true intra-disciplinary research training experience. Evaluation will include formal progress reports, mock grant preparation and review, as well as publications and required national presentations. The long-term goal is to attract resident physicians into a career employing imaging research as a major component of their future academic careers.

描述(由申请者提供)：这是一项T32培训资助的竞争性续签，该资助提供了影像研究方面的强化培训，总体目标是增加临床医生科学家在未来研究生涯中使用成像的数量。我们越来越迫切需要这些医生成为我们主要临床专科的未来教师和导师。特别是，放射学在提供信息方面的历史相对薄弱 作为临床住院医师计划的一部分，正规的培训和研究机会，然而成像方法学现在正在渗透到许多医学/科学学科。鉴于影像学科的跨学科性质，除了放射学，我们还幸运地加入了T32个拟议的部门/项目，如普通内科、神经病学、神经病理学、精神病学、外科，在这次更新中，还包括肿瘤学和儿科实习生。在过去的四年和预期的第五年，我们成功地填补了我们由几个NIH研究所共同出资的大部分职位。非院系住院医生和研究员医师，特别是放射学和T32拟议的科室/项目，将获得他们通常不会接受的有组织的、严格的研究培训。教学课程将在临床期间完成，包括确定培训导师和实验室，然后进行至少1至2年的正式全日制T32资助研究。这也将直接与现有的更高级的培训计划相结合，包括硕士和博士学位授予计划和临床调查，以及机会和基础科学和公共卫生计划。通过在他们职业生涯的早期开始，我们预计这最终可能会对这些见习医生所走的职业道路产生重大影响。最终的结果是，将有更多的医生从事基础和应用方法相结合的研究事业。培训计划将包括在培训年度之前明确的教学课程，然后是T32培训年的整个学期的课程，以及精心分配的导师和实验室。这些教师不仅来自放射学，而且来自相关的基础系，包括生物工程、电气工程、心理学和公共卫生。因此，学员不仅将在放射学和其他拟议的T32系/计划实验室接受培训，还将在约翰·霍普金斯大学附属部门和NIH内部(巴尔的摩和贝塞斯达)以及潜在的工业科学实验室进行培训，提供真正的学科内研究培训体验。评价将包括正式进度报告、模拟赠款的准备和审查，以及出版物和必要的国家介绍。长期目标是吸引住院医师投身职业生涯。 将影像研究作为他们未来学术生涯的主要组成部分。
