Research Education Program for Residents and Fellows in Neurology

描述(由申请人提供)：该研究教育计划旨在提供调查科学的教学，除了受保护的时间、结构、资源、指导和研究技能培训外，他们将成为临床神经科学研究的下一代领导者。我们计划的一些独特之处在于(1)我们能够在实习期间为研究教育和研究参与提供九个月的80%保护时间；(2)我们将每个参与者与密切参与参与者研究和培训的高级导师和初级导师配对。霍普金斯大学的环境是跨学科高度协作的，通过临床和翻译科学奖、彭博公共卫生学院、脑科学研究所、Neuro-ICE(细胞工程研究所)、Kirby功能成像中心、大脑研究所和许多其他跨学科项目，提供一流的研究教育资源。该计划还旨在培养一批才华横溢、鼓舞人心的导师，他们将继续担任榜样和有效的教练，使住院医生和研究员能够成为独立的临床科学家，对发现神经疾病的机制充满热情，改善神经疾病的诊断和治疗，并促进神经功能的恢复。我们通过高级导师对初级导师的指导、有组织的反馈和评估来实现这一目标。到目前为止，这笔赠款已经资助了10名特殊的居民，他们都仍然积极从事研究。其中三人在医学院担任教职，其中两人已申请K23基金(等待审查)。其他人仍在接受住院医生或团契培训。该项目在招募参与者和初级导师方面也非常成功，这些参与者和初级导师来自传统上在科学界代表性不足的少数群体。我们还非常成功地将女性纳入导师和被辅导者。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This Research Education Program is designed to provide teaching in the science of investigation, in addition to protected time, structure, resources, mentoring, and research skills training to diverse and outstanding neurology residents who will become the next generation of leaders in clinical neuroscience research. Some unique aspects of our programs are (1) that we are able to provide nine months of 80% protected time for research education and research participation during residency; and (2) that we pair each participant with both a Senior Mentor and a Junior Mentor who are closely engaged in the participant's research and training. The Hopkins environment is highly collaborative across disciplines and provides superb research education resources, through the Clinical and Translational Science Award, the Bloomberg School of Public Health, The Brain Sciences Institute, Neuro-ICE (Institute of Cellular Engineering), the Kirby Functional Imaging Center, The Mind Brain Institute, and many other interdisciplinary programs. This program is also designed to develop a diverse group of talented and inspirational mentors who will continue to serve role models and effective coaches, enabling residents and fellows to become independent clinician scientists with a passion for discovery in the mechanisms of neurological disease, improving diagnosis and treatment of neurological disease, and facilitating recovery of neurological function. We accomplish this aim through mentoring of Junior Mentors by Senior Mentors, with structured feedback and evaluations. To date this grant has supported 10 exceptional residents, who all remain actively engaged in research. Three have faculty positions in medical schools, and two of these have applied for K23 funding (pending review). The others remain in residency or fellowship training. The program has also been exceptionally successful in recruiting participants and Junior Mentors from minorities that are traditionally under-represented in science. We have also been very successful in including women both as mentors and mentees.
