# Neurosurgery research training in interdisciplinary neuroscience

> **NIH NIH R25** · UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON · 2021 · $255,773

## Abstract

The University of Washington has a long and strong tradition of training residents in neurological
surgery for careers in academic medicine. This proposal will support the research component
of this training by placing the resident in an interdisciplinary research environment, preparing the
candidate for neurosurgically-inspired science projects and a future career as an
interdisciplinary investigator in funded projects. Future candidates will pursue topics in one of
three core strengths of ongoing department work – Neural Engineering, Neuro Oncology, and
Restorative Medicine. The 12-month experience (extendable to 18 months) will include
independent investigation in the context of a mature project to ensure success. Combined with
a didactic program that is supported by the department and superior clinical experience, the
resident will be prepared to begin a career as a physician-scientist in a collaborative neural
engineering project at the conclusion of the support period.
