Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine Training Grant

项目总结/摘要 华盛顿大学（UW）计划培训科学家进行临床相关的研究， 肺和重症监护医学。在这个应用程序中，我们要求8个插槽，每年支持4名学员， 一个为期4年的临床和研究项目的一部分。我们主要关注那些 能够在生物医学调查的连续体中进行研究，从基础研究到 从实验室到转化、面向患者和实施研究。跨学科的方法 准备学员的学术生涯特点是独立资助的研究和承诺， 训练别人。该计划的特点是培训教师的质量和专业知识，结构化 和成功的指导方法，以及多学科和多样化研究的整合 在培训独立科学家方面取得了显著成功。研究培训是 通过两个主要途径进行：基础科学和健康成果。在每一条路径中， 经验丰富和承诺的导师提供了丰富的研究机会，研究学习小组 让学员接触到广泛的方法和研究课题，教学课程工作丰富了 研究培训经验。基础科学途径为学员提供掌握 各种各样的前沿研究方法。健康成果途径通常包括 完成流行病学系或卫生服务系的硕士学位。培训 翻译研究发生在这两条途径的交汇处。我们在培训医生方面的成功- 科学家是建立在一个高度结构化，但灵活的过程，以帮助研究员在选择研究导师 和项目，并指导他们通过辅导过程。在开始研究培训之前，学员1） 通过培训教师领导力提供咨询，2）参加高级研究员驱动的研究研讨会，3） 每年秋季和春季，他们都专门用“休假周”与潜在的导师进行面试。一次 研究培训计划，正式的指导委员会支持和跟踪研究员的进展。培训 包括指导手稿和赠款写作和赠款和研究的正式审查过程 介绍。一系列评估指标监控学员、导师和项目的进度 领导我们制定并阐明了指导的核心原则，用于指导和 评估培训。通过承诺不断审查和改进我们的计划， 该计划一直与先进的生物医学研究和我们的学员不断变化的需求保持同步。来 在过去的15年里，我们保留了近60%的全职学术职位的医生-科学家， 与其他DLD支持的T32项目相比，受训人员的表现非常出色， 每名受训人员获得的K和R奖励数。

Project Summary/Abstract The University of Washington (UW) program trains scientists to perform clinically-relevant research in pulmonary and critical care medicine. In this application, we request 8 slots to support 4 trainees each year as part of a 4-year combined clinical and research program. We focus primarily on physician-scientists who are able to conduct research across the continuum of biomedical investigation, from basic research in the laboratory to translational, patient-oriented and implementation research. An interdisciplinary approach prepares trainees for academic careers characterized by independently funded research and a commitment to training others. The program is distinguished by the quality and expertise of the training faculty, a structured and successful approach to mentoring, and the integration of multiple disciplines and diverse research methodologies leading to outstanding success in training independent scientists. Research training is conducted through two primary pathways: Basic Science and Health Outcomes. Within each pathway, experienced and committed mentors provide a rich range of research opportunities, research study groups expose the trainee to a broad range of methodologies and research topics, and didactic course work enriches the research training experience. The Basic Science pathway provides trainees with the opportunity to master a wide variety of cutting edge research methodologies. The Health Outcomes pathway generally includes completion of a master's degree in either the Department of Epidemiology or Health Services. Training in translational research occurs at the confluence of the two pathways. Our success in training physician- scientists is founded on a highly structured, yet flexible process to aid fellows in selecting research mentors and projects and guide them through the mentoring process. Prior to beginning research training, trainees 1) are counseled by training faculty leadership, 2) participate in a senior fellow-driven research symposium and 3) have dedicated “sabbatical weeks” each fall and spring to conduct interviews with potential mentors. Once in the research training program, formal mentoring committees support and track the fellows' progress. Training includes instruction in manuscript and grant writing and a formal review process for grants and research presentations. A series of evaluation metrics monitor progress of the trainees, mentors, and program leadership. We have developed and articulated core principles of mentoring that are used to guide and evaluate training. Through a commitment to continuously review and improve our program, the training program has kept pace with advancing biomedical research and the changing needs of our trainees. Over the past 15 years, we have retained nearly 60% of our physician-scientists in full-time academic positions, and our trainees perform exceptionally well compared to other DLD-supported T32 programs, with nearly double the number of K- and R-awards per trainee.
