Transition Scholar propose his her research performed the same, different department/institutions, the preceding institutional research residency program R38). Investigators this career stage the unique responsibility complete both clinical duties research activities; this reason, proposed research activities must fall within overall program consistent medical board, dental veterinary specialty eligibility. research projects limited those fall within participating NIH Institute/Center mission. NIH encourages institutions recruit retain individuals groups currently underrepresented the biomedical sciences, to enhance diversity the clinician-investigator workforce NOT-OD-15-053). Background is critical workforce need physician scientists/clinician-investigators, i.e. those clinical experience conduct research offer skills perspectives directly related human health, disease conditions, clinical decision-making, diagnoses, prevention, improving health outcomes. Despite outstanding existing opportunities, relatively few physicians other health professionals pursuing research careers, current opportunities not maintain adequate numbers diversity physician scientists ACD Physician Scientist Workforce Report, 2014). overall size the current clinician-investigator workforce constitutes only small proportion all NIH-funded research investigators, this particularly true early-stage clinician investigators. New approaches needed recruit, prepare retain clinician-investigators the large pool potential researchers health professional doctorates. Among today’s NIH-funded clinician-investigators, 60% hold single health professional degree 40% hold both health professional research doctorate degrees. Women individuals underrepresented racial ethnic groups represent particularly low proportion this workforce. year the United States, 18,000 individuals earn MD, while 600 individuals earn MD/PhDs; data suggest recruitment even slightly greater proportion MDs, retention more MDs MD/PhDs research careers significantly enhance clinician investigator workforce. New approaches also needed enhance research opportunities during advanced clinical training periods; example, typical graduate medical education (“residency”) period offers limited opportunities acquire research skills experience needed a career a clinician-investigator. enhance research experience, several medical board-approved graduate medical residency programs developed are variously described lsquo;fast track,’ lsquo;short track,’ lsquo;accelerated,’ lsquo;research pathway’ approaches their specialties. programs balance protected time research clinical requirements, medical boards approve either institutional programs individual plans board eligibility. Available outcomes indicate the clinical competency pathway graduates comparable those participating standard residency programs. research pathway graduates subsequently hold positions academic medicine, report research activity, contribute substantial professional effort research clinician-investigators. health professionals recognize critical need develop new understanding therapeutic modalities diseases, research residency provide valuable experience an early ldquo;on-ramp” a research career. is also recognized many MDs/health professionals well MD/PhDs had previous research experience, research during residency training provides opportunity build upon prior research experiences.
