Carver College of Medicine Clinical Neuroscientist Training Program (CNS-TP)

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请是通过医学的Carver学院的神经病学，旨在加强在神经病学和神经外科的部门居民在基础神经科学的培训部门管理的计划的支持。这两个部门都有悠久的历史和在各自领域培训学术领导者的良好记录，但都寻求提高他们在培训临床医生方面的成功，这些临床医生可以成功地获得基础和转化神经科学的独立资金，同时继续在临床上活跃。一名神经内科住院医师被确定为该计划的第一名参与者，目标是每年招募一名额外的住院医师参加。R25支持的居民将成为爱荷华州临床神经科学家培训计划（CNS-TP）的一部分，该计划旨在培训神经病学系已经投入大量资金的医生科学家。CNS- TP增强了神经病学或神经外科住院医师的科学研究，但R25参与者将通过这项拟议的R25资助计划获得更密集和结构化的研究经验。 公共卫生相关性：医生科学家为科学研究带来了独特的技能，并提供了更多的机会将基本的科学发现转化为临床应用。该计划旨在满足更多的神经学训练的医生在基础领域的需求。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is for support of a program administered through the Carver College of Medicine's Department of Neurology, which seeks to enhance training in basic neuroscience for residents in the Departments of Neurology and Neurosurgery. Both departments have a long history and excellent track record of training academic leaders in their respective fields, but both seek to increase their success in training clinicians who can compete successfully in obtaining independent funding for basic and translational neuroscience while continuing to be clinically active. One Neurology resident is identified as the first participant in this program with the goal of recruiting one additional resient to participate in each year afterwards. The R25-supported residents will be part of the Iowa Clinical Neuroscientist Training Program (CNS-TP), a program to train physician scientists for which the Department of Neurology has already committed significant funds. The CNS- TP augments scientific study for Neurology or Neurosurgery residents, but R25 participants will have a more intensive and structured research experience through this proposed R25-funded program. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Physician scientists bring unique skills to scientific investigation and offer enhanced opportunities to translate basic scientific discovery to bedside applications. This program seeks to meet the need for more neurologically trained physicians in the field of basic
