Research Training in Microbial Diseases

项目摘要 传染病的临床科学家必须在制定新的战略方面发挥领导作用 有效预防、诊断和治疗感染。这需要临床医生在科学进步的基础上 从不同的学科到与基础科学家、临床研究人员和翻译人员的合作 研究人员的工作是“从板凳到床边”。 鉴于目前博士后医学研究培训的性质，相对较少的医生拥有 需要进行跨学科的临床和研究培训，以进行针对传染病的高质量研究 疾病。此外，在全球传染病的负担下，临床研究人员能够进行基本的 国内和国际层面的科学、临床研究和转化研究是 势在必行。 该研究培训计划的最终目标是通过以下方式培养传染病领域的学术领袖 1)提供动态、高度协作的培训环境，并提供出色的研究机会； 特别是对于那些对国际身份识别感兴趣的人；2)提供系统的支持性培训过程， 始终如一地培养研究-天真的医生产生高效的医生-研究人员谁有 项目毕业后成功争取校外资金；3)促进学业成功 来自代表不足的群体和女性的医生-调查人员，对未来的可信度至关重要 学术医学。我们建议通过提供两年的综合研究经验来实现这一目标 以及约翰霍普金斯大学医学院成人传染病博士后的课程。 考虑到正在进行的项目，约翰霍普金斯大学是唯一有资格开发和维护这样一个项目的机构 我们教员的研究，我们以前学员的成功结果，可用的资源，以及 源源不断地涌现出一批批明锐敬业的传染病医师。拟议的培训计划将是 约翰霍普金斯大学的独特之处在于它强调培养成功的领导者 传染病研究。

Project Summary Clinician scientists in infectious diseases must serve as leaders in the development of new strategies to effectively prevent, diagnose, and treat infection. This requires clinicians to build upon scientific advancements from varied disciplines through collaboration with basic scientists, clinical investigators, and translational researchers whose work is “bench to bedside.” Given the current nature of post-doctoral MD research training, relatively few physicians have the interdisciplinary clinical and research training needed to conduct high quality research that address infectious diseases. Also, with the global burden of infectious disease, clinical researchers who are able to conduct basic science, clinical investigation and translational research on both the domestic and an international level is imperative. The ultimate goals of this research training program is to develop academic leaders in infectious diseases by 1) providing a dynamic, highly collaborative training environment with outstanding research opportunities, particularly for those interested in international ID; 2) providing a structured supportive training process that consistently trains research-naïve physicians producing productive physician-investigators who have successfully competed for extramural funds after program graduation; and 3) promoting the academic success of physician-investigators from underrepresented groups and women, critical for the future creditability of academic medicine. We propose to achieve this goal by providing two years of integrated research experience and coursework to post-doctoral fellows in Adult Infectious Diseases at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. The Johns Hopkins University is uniquely qualified to develop and maintain such a program given the on-going research of our faculty, the successful outcomes of our previous trainees, the resources available, and the continuous influx of bright dedicated infectious diseases physicians. The proposed training program will be unique at Johns Hopkins University because of its emphasis on the development of successful leaders in infectious diseases research.
