Project Summary / Abstract Disorders of the developing nervous system are common, affecting roughly 15% of the population. To improve the lives of children (and adults) with such disorders, we are in critical need of an enhanced pipeline of child neurology physician-scientists who will drive the innovative research necessary to lead to improvements in prevention, diagnosis and intervention. We propose, in this renewal application for the Child Neurologist Career Development Program (CNCDP-K12), to build upon our extant program, providing intensive, mentored career development for pediatric neurologists committed to being independently funded physician-scientists. This NINDS funded program is the nationalized version of the Neuroscience Academic Development Award (NSADA), a program granted to individual institutions. While the NSADA supported the research career development of numerous child neurologists, the program has under-delivered at the national level, as measured by the number of funded scholars to receive individual K awards, arguably due to its yoking to up to 10 specific institutions. By contrast, the CNCDP has a single Program Director with an Executive Leadership comprising 8 highly collaborative physician-scientist pediatric neurologists who are national leaders in the discipline. The CNCDP has 2 faculty committees: a 15 member Scientific Advisory & Review Committee (SARC) and a 4 member National Advisory Committee (NAC). The faculty members comprising these committees, all accomplished physician- scientists with over 25% from non-pediatric neurology disciplines, have diverse sets of expertise. The SARC reviews scholar applicants/applications and serves as extra-institutional advisors. The NAC provides to the leadership ongoing critical evaluation of the program. Under the CNCDP, individual pediatric neurologists (within 3 years of completion of clinical training) from any academic institution in the US can apply. The applicant must demonstrate a high quality and feasible research project, a robust career development plan, and institutional environment supportive of physician scientist career development, and an institutional letter of support committing appropriate protected time to research and career development. The Annual Meeting, a 2.5 day retreat attended by all faculty, funded scholars, applicants, NIH staff, and others, constitutes a mechanism for intensive mentoring and career development through small group sessions, one-on-one meetings, scholar presentations of their work (with intensive focus on quality presentations and articulating specific aims), and other career-enhancing curriculum. Program curriculum is also provided year-round through webinars/video conference. At the Annual Meeting, the SARC reviews the applications and recommends typically 6 of the most meritorious for 3 years of funding. A total of 30 scholars (90 scholar-years) are to be funded. The CNCDP provides highly structured oversight of the scholars' progress as well as institutional and scholar commitment to the program's requirements. Success of the program will be measured by a high rate of both scholars and non-funded applicants achieving individual K level funding or the equivalent.

项目总结/摘要 发育中的神经系统疾病很常见，影响大约15%的人口。提高 儿童（和成人）的生活与这些疾病，我们迫切需要一个加强管道的儿童 神经病学医生-科学家，他们将推动必要的创新研究，以改善 预防、诊断和干预。我们建议，在儿童神经科医生的续期申请中， 职业发展计划（CNCDP-K12），建立在我们现有的计划，提供密集的，指导 致力于成为独立资助的医生科学家的儿科神经科医生的职业发展。这 NINDS资助的项目是神经科学学术发展奖（NSADA）的国家化版本， 一项授予个别机构的计划。虽然NSADA支持研究职业发展， 许多儿童神经学家，该计划在国家一级的交付不足，如 一些受资助的学者获得个人K奖，可以说是由于它与多达10个具体的 机构职能体系相比之下，国家儿童发展委员会只有一名方案主任，行政领导层由8名成员组成。 高度合作的儿科神经学家，他们是该学科的国家领导者。CNCDP 有2个教师委员会：一个15名成员的科学咨询和审查委员会（SARC）和一个4名成员的国家 咨询委员会（NAC）。组成这些委员会的教职员工都是有成就的医生- 超过25%的科学家来自非儿科神经病学学科，拥有各种专业知识。SARC评论 奖学金申请人/申请，并担任校外顾问。NAC向领导层提供 对该计划进行严格的评估。根据CNCDP，个别儿科神经科医生（在3年内， 完成临床培训）的任何学术机构在美国可以申请。申请人必须证明 高质量和可行的研究项目，强大的职业发展计划和制度环境 支持医生科学家的职业发展，并承诺适当的机构支持信 保护研究和职业发展的时间。年会，一个由所有教师参加的为期2.5天的务虚会， 受资助的学者、申请人、NIH工作人员和其他人，构成了一个密集辅导和职业生涯的机制。 通过小组会议、一对一会议、学者介绍其工作（与 重点放在高质量的演讲和明确的具体目标），以及其他职业发展课程。 计划课程还通过网络研讨会/视频会议全年提供。在年会上， SARC对申请进行审查，并推荐6个最有价值的项目，为期3年。一 总共将资助30名学者（90个学年）。CNCDP提供高度结构化的监督， 学者的进步以及机构和学者对该计划要求的承诺。成功 该计划将衡量学者和非资助申请人达到个人K的高比率 一级融资或同等融资。
