Pathways for Physician Scientist Training in Psychiatric Research

摘要 物理科学家在帮助弥合基础研究和转化研究之间的差距方面发挥着关键作用， 如PAR-20 - 094所述，"通过临床和研究的结合，为研究带来独特的视角 经验”。因此，培训精神科医生为未来的职业生涯作为医生，科学家是重要的，以及对齐 NIMH的优先事项是“努力预防和治疗”和“增加研究的公共卫生影响”。 该提案旨在每年招募2名有前途的医生科学家，并密切关注多样性， Pathways-RRT是科罗拉多大学精神病学住院医师的纵向研究项目。 Pathways-RRT允许居民完成所有ACGME要求，以便按时毕业，并参加 董事会认证，同时也为研究技能的发展和生产力创造个性化的途径 在住院期间该计划提供14至18个月的研究时间， 居住（时间长短取决于申请人是否参加儿童奖学金培训， 继续进行研究训练）。住院医师将根据他们的资格进行招聘， 对研究的热情，部分原因是他们感兴趣的领域与我们目前和不断增长的 优秀的初级研究教师导师。计划参与者接受结构化教学，重点是 研究设计，生物统计学，严谨性和可重复性，研究的道德行为，以及拨款写作。一 Pathways-RRT研讨会为正在进行的工作会议和研究成果的展示提供了机会 （海报，口头）与教师和同行的反馈。PGY3/1991 Pathways-RRT居民有小额赠款 可用于支持侧重于回答重要问题的数据收集，并作为以下方面的试点数据： 未来的补助金申请该计划提供密切的指导，并利用个性化的研究计划， 协作指导团队，年度进度报告，居民和计划教师的调查，以评估 计划的优点和缺点，以促进持续的计划改进。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美元 每年承诺为参与者提供研究支持，包括补助金管理，研究 业务，教育研讨会，试点赠款机会，临床研究支持和生物统计学）。的 该计划旨在帮助居民准备竞争博士后研究奖学金和赠款资金（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， 研究型职业。因此，该计划旨在解决精神病学缺乏医生科学家的问题 并产生可操作的居民衍生的研究产品，提高有关的原因知识， 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.
