Pathways for Physician Scientist Training in Psychiatric Research

摘要 内科科学家在帮助弥合基础研究和翻译研究之间的差距方面发挥了关键作用 正如PAR-20-094中指出的那样，通过临床和研究的融合为研究带来独特的视角 体验。“因此，为未来的职业生涯培训精神科医生成为内科科学家是重要的，也是很好的契合 NIMH的优先事项是“努力预防和治疗”和“增加研究对公共卫生的影响”。 这项建议寻求每年招聘2名有前途的内科科学家，并仔细注意多样性，以 路径-RRT，科罗拉多大学精神病学住院医师的一个纵向研究项目。 路径-RRT允许住院医生按时完成所有ACGME毕业要求并参加 董事会认证，同时也为研究技能发展和生产力创造了个性化的途径 在实习期间。该项目提供了14至18个月的专门研究时间 住院时间(时间长短取决于申请者是否在他们愿意的地方参加儿童团契培训 继续他们的研究培训)。住院医生将根据他们的资质进行招聘，演示 对研究的热情，以及在一定程度上，他们的兴趣领域与我们目前和不断增长的 优秀的小学研究型教师导师。计划参与者接受结构化的讲授，重点是 研究设计、生物统计学、严谨性和重复性、研究的伦理行为和拨款撰写。一个 路径-RRT研讨会提供进行中的会议和展示研究结果的机会 (海报，口头)，有教职员工和同行反馈。PGY3/CRY1路径-RRT居民获得小额赠款 可用于支持侧重于回答重要问题的数据收集，并用作以下项目的试点数据 未来的拨款申请。该项目提供密切的指导，并利用个性化的研究计划， 协作指导团队、年度进度报告、对住院医生和计划教职员工的调查以进行评估 计划的优势和劣势，以促进计划的持续改进。参与者受益于 补充机构承诺，包括精神病学研究创新服务(360,000澳元 每年承诺为参与者提供研究支持，包括赠款管理、研究 业务、教育讲习班、试点赠款机会、临床研究支持和生物统计)。这个 该计划旨在为住院医生竞争博士后研究奖学金和赠款做好准备(例如， NRSA，R21，K)，并为他们在强大的学术机构担任教职做好准备 以研究为主的职业。因此，该计划试图解决精神病学中内科科学家的匮乏问题 并生产可操作的居民衍生研究产品，以加强对疾病原因的了解 精神疾病和改善患者的临床结果。

Abstract Physician-scientists serve a critical role in helping bridge the gap between basic and translational research and as noted in PAR-20-094 “bring a unique perspective to research through [a] blend of clinical and research experiences.” Thus training Psychiatrists for future careers as physician-scientists is significant and aligns well with NIMH priorities to “strive for prevention and cures” and “increase the public health impact of research.” This proposal seeks to recruit 2 promising physician scientists per year, with careful attention to diversity, into the Pathways-RRT, a longitudinal research program within the University of Colorado Psychiatry residency. The Pathways-RRT allows residents to complete all ACGME requirements for on time graduation and to sit for board certification, while also creating individualized pathways for research skills development and productivity during residency. The program provides between 14 and 18 months of research-dedicated time across residency (amount of time depends on whether applicants enter Child Fellowship training where they will continue their research training). Residents will be recruited based on their qualifications, demonstrated passion for research, and in part, upon their areas of interest being in sync with our current and growing pool of outstanding primary research faculty mentors. Program participants receive structured didactics focusing on research design, biostatistics, rigor and reproducibility, the ethical conduct of research, and grant writing. A Pathways-RRT seminar offers opportunities for work-in-progress sessions and presentation of research results (poster, oral) with faculty and peer feedback. PGY3/CRY1 Pathways-RRT residents have small grants available to support data collection focusing on answering important questions and to serve as pilot data for future grant applications. The program offers close mentorship and utilizes individualized research plans, collaborative mentoring teams, annual progress reports, surveys of residents and program faculty to evaluate program strengths and weaknesses to foster continuous program improvement. Participants benefit from complementary institutional commitment including the Psychiatry Research Innovations services (a $360,000 per year commitment to provide participants research support including grants administration, research operations, educational workshops, pilot grant opportunities, clinical research support, and biostatistics). The program seeks to prepare residents to compete for post-doctoral research fellowships and grant funding (e.g., NRSA, R21, K) and to prepare them to assume faculty positions at strong academic institutions pursuing research-oriented careers. Thus, the program seeks to address the dearth of physician-scientists in Psychiatry and to produce actionable resident-derived research products that enhance knowledge regarding the causes of mental illness and improve clinical outcomes for patients.
