布朗大学新兴传染病学者项目旨在开发一种 医生-科学家队伍专注于临床研究，以告知对新兴疾病的实际反应。 未来几十年的流行病。布朗大学的阿尔珀特医学院已经成立了一个 理学硕士与具体的课程，以提供临床研究的教育基础。 第一年和第二年之间为期八周的专门研究块，以及相关的 在第三年和第四年的选修时间，提供保护的时间进行研究。的 该计划为试点研究项目提供财政支持，并将分配适当的导师， 引导学者。医学院的学者每年都会参加一次相关的专业会议 项目教师和导师将在这些会议上提供补充的网络机会。 住院医师将继续通过导师制作为“学者社区”参与， 支助和出席适当会议的旅费。该计划将与罗得岛州密切合作 卫生部让受训人员参与调查罗得岛州正在发生的微流行病 岛，如百日咳和水痘疫情，不断升级的性传播感染，包括 梅毒和波瓦桑病毒性脑炎。这笔赠款将激励，培训，支持和保留一个社区 学者们充当“微生物猎人”。具体目标1：培养未来的医学科学家， 应对新出现的流行病的挑战。具体目标2：培养未来的医学科学家。来 四年的课程，医学生将完成课程，导致科学硕士学位。 具体目标3：支持未来的医学科学家。所有学者都将获得资源， 制定一项研究计划，并在内部竞争高达15，000美元的试点研究奖。支持 在临床研究工具中，生物统计学、分析、摘要开发和手稿准备将 通过量身定制的课程和计划教师，工作人员和导师提供，资金将 可供学者和项目教师和导师参加适当的科学会议。 具体目标4：在整个培训过程中留住学者群体。该计划的各个方面将 持续进行评估，以确定每项建议的可接受性、相关性和价值 培训计划的组成部分。感兴趣的成果包括研究项目开发和 完成，摘要介绍和手稿出版，并长期从事临床 与新发传染病有关的研究。 !

The Emerging Infectious Disease Scholars at Brown University program seeks to develop a physician-scientist workforce focused on clinical research to inform practical responses to emerging epidemics over the next decades. The Alpert Medical School of Brown University has incorporated a Master of Science with specific coursework to provide an educational foundation for clinical research. A dedicated research block of eight weeks between the first and second year, as well as a relevant elective time during the third and fourth year, provide protected time for the conduct of research. The program offers financial support for pilot research projects and appropriate mentors will be assigned to guide scholars. Scholars in medical school will attend a relevant professional conference each year and program faculty and mentors will provide supplemental networking opportunities at these meetings. Medical residents will continue to be engaged as a “community of scholars” through mentorship, support, and travel to appropriate meetings. The program will work closely with the Rhode Island Department of Health to engage trainees in the investigation of ongoing micro-epidemics in Rhode Island, such as pertussis and varicella outbreaks, escalating sexually transmitted infections including syphilis, and Powassan virus encephalitis. This grant will inspire, train, support, and retain a community of scholars to serve as “microbes hunters”. Specific Aim 1: Inspire future physician-scientists to rapidly address challenges of emerging epidemics. Specific Aim 2: Train future physician-scientists. Over the course of four years, medical students will complete coursework leading to a Master in Science degree. Specific Aim 3: Support future physician-scientists. All scholars will have access to resources to develop a research proposal and compete internally for pilot research awards of up to $15,000. Support in clinical research tools, biostatistics, analysis, abstract development, and manuscript preparation will be provided through tailored coursework and program faculty, staff, and mentors, and funds will be available for scholars and program faculty and mentors to attend appropriate scientific conferences. Specific Aim 4: Retain the community of scholars throughout training. All aspects of the program will be evaluated on an ongoing basis in order to determine acceptability, relevance, and value of each component of the training program. Outcomes of interest include research project development and completion, abstract presentation and manuscript publication, and long-term engagement in clinical research related to emerging infectious disease. !
