Promoting Multidisciplinary Clinical and Translational Science in Aging by Resident Investigators

项目摘要 这个激励访问研究住院医师（StARR）计划的目标是招募，培训和指导 一组来自不同临床科室的优秀研究生住院研究员， 严谨的临床和转化研究技能，开展与老龄化相关的高影响力研究项目， 并在临床或转化衰老科学方面开创有前途的职业生涯。这一举措将建立在一个庞大的， 多样化的教师在老龄化研究的专业知识，在多学科的强大机构的跟踪记录 研究生研究培训，以及现有的，成功的居民研究培训计划，由 加州大学旧金山分校临床和转化科学研究所，以前曾指导过一千多名居民， 在过去十年中完成短期临床或转化研究项目。 我们的计划将强调临床和转化研究，广泛定义，包括早期转化 科学、临床和流行病学调查、基于人口的科学和传播研究， 将科学发现转化为现实世界。我们设计了一个密集的，12个月，连续 StARR计划强调临床和转化研究方法的严格培训， 许多寻求进行临床或转化研究的临床学者缺乏正式的方法论， 训练在这个项目的初始阶段，我们与部门和住院医师领导密切合作 内科、神经病学、精神病学、麻醉学、普通外科、泌尿学、矫形外科， 妇科制定详细的计划，招募和选择最有前途的住院调查员 从这些领域，加强他们的研究培训和职业发展机会，培养他们的 与老龄化研究经验丰富的教师导师的关系，并指导他们获得未来 有竞争力的研究资金，同时满足必要的董事会认证要求。 我们的目标是：1）每年招募和培训3名具有潜力和承诺的临床住院医师， 成功的临床和翻译研究人员在老龄化; 2）指导这些驻地研究人员在获得 更先进的方法，分析和协作技能适合他们的培训水平; 3）创建 并支持有效的，有影响力的，与成熟的老龄化研究导师的长期关系 在居住期间和之后;以及4）指导学者成功地竞争其他形式的研究支持 这将为他们在临床或转化衰老科学方面的长期职业生涯铺平道路。

PROJECT SUMMARY The goal of this Stimulating Access to Research in Residency (StARR) program is to recruit, train, and mentor a select group of exceptional postgraduate resident investigators from diverse clinical departments in acquiring rigorous clinical and translational research skills, conducting high-impact research projects relevant to aging, and launching promising careers in clinical or translational aging science. This initiative will build on a large and diverse faculty with expertise in aging research, a strong institutional track record in multidisciplinary postgraduate research training, and an existing, successful Resident Research Training Program developed by the UCSF Clinical and Translational Science Institute that has previously guided over a thousand residents in completing short-term clinical or translational research projects over the past decade. Our program will emphasize clinical and translational research, defined broadly to include early translational science, clinical and epidemiologic investigations, population-based science, and dissemination research to translate scientific findings into real-world settings. We have designed an intensive, 12-month, contiguous StARR program that emphasizes rigorous training in clinical and translational research methods, recognizing that many clinician scholars seeking to pursue clinical or translational research lack formal methodologic training. For the initial stages of this program, we have worked closely with department and residency leaders in internal medicine, neurology, psychiatry, anesthesia, general surgery, urology, orthopaedic surgery, and gynecology to develop a detailed plan for recruiting and selecting the most promising resident investigators from these fields, enhancing their research training and career development opportunities, cultivating their relationships with experienced faculty mentors in aging research, and guiding them in obtaining future competitive research funding, while simultaneously fulfilling necessary board credentialing requirements. Our aims are to: 1) recruit and train 3 clinical residents annually with the potential and commitment to become successful clinical and translational researchers in aging; 2) guide these resident investigators in obtaining more advanced methodological, analytic, and collaborative skills appropriate for their level of training; 3) create and support effective, influential, and long-lasting relationships with accomplished aging research mentors during and after residency; and 4) guide scholars in successfully competing for other forms of research support that will pave the way for them to pursue long-term careers in clinical or translational aging science.
