Neurosurgery research training in interdisciplinary neuroscience

描述（由申请人提供）：华盛顿大学有一个长期而强大的传统，培训居民在神经外科的职业生涯在学术医学。该提案将通过将居民置于跨学科研究环境中，为神经病学启发的科学项目和未来的职业生涯做好准备，作为资助项目的跨学科研究员，来支持这项培训的研究部分。未来的候选人将在正在进行的部门工作的三个核心优势之一追求主题神经工程，神经肿瘤学和恢复医学。第一位候选人将在结构化的实验室环境中进行脑机接口研究，该环境研究基础神经科学家，神经工程师和神经外科医生之间正在进行的合作项目，脑机接口的控制和设备考虑因素。12个月的经验将包括在成熟项目的背景下进行独立调查，以确保成功。结合由该部门支持的教学计划和上级临床经验，住院医师将准备在支持期结束时开始在合作神经工程项目中担任医生科学家的职业生涯。 公共卫生相关性：该研究项目是华盛顿大学医学院神经外科住院医师培训的重要组成部分，其目标是培养优秀的学术医生科学家。它有一个螺旋式的设计，将向居民介绍研究项目设计，批判性评估以及数据呈现和解释的技能和原则。这些将通过四个步骤发展，导致良好的发展技能，包括赠款提案的写作。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Washington has a long and strong tradition of training residents in neurological surgery for careers in academic medicine. This proposal will support the research component of this training by placing the resident in an interdisciplinary research environment, preparing the candidate for neurosurgical-inspired science projects and a future career as an interdisciplinary investigator in funded projects. Future candidates will pursue topics in one of three core strengths of ongoing department work ¿ Neural Engineering, Neuro Oncology, and Restorative Medicine. The first candidate will pursue research in brain-computer interface in a structured laboratory environment that studies, in ongoing collaborative projects between basic neuroscientists, neural engineers, and neurosurgeons, control and device considerations in brain-computer interface. The 12-month experience will include independent investigation in the context of a mature project to ensure success. Combined with a didactic program that is supported by the department and superior clinical experience, the resident will be prepared to begin a career as a physician-scientist in a collaborative neural engineering project at the conclusion of the support period. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This research program is a critical part of the residency training in Neurological Surgery at the University Of Washington School Of Medicine whose goal is to train outstanding academic physician-scientists. It has a spiraling design that will introduce residents to skills and principles of research program design, critical evaluation, and data presentation and interpretation. These will be developed through four steps leading to well-developed skills including grant- proposal writing.
