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

描述(申请人提供)：此申请是为了支持卡弗医学院神经学系管理的一个项目，该项目旨在加强神经内科和神经外科住院医生的基础神经科学培训。这两个部门在培训各自领域的学术领袖方面都有悠久的历史和良好的记录，但两个部门都寻求在培训临床医生方面取得更大的成功，这些临床医生能够在继续活跃临床活动的同时，成功地竞争基础和转化性神经科学的独立资金。一名神经科住院医师被确定为该计划的第一批参与者，目标是每年再招募一名住院医师参加。R25支持的住院医生将成为爱荷华州临床神经科学家培训计划(CNS-TP)的一部分，该计划旨在培训内科科学家，神经病学系已经为该计划承诺了大量资金。CNS-TP为神经病学或神经外科住院医师增加了科学研究，但R25参与者将通过这项由R25资助的计划获得更密集和更有条理的研究体验。

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.
