Career Enhancement

项目摘要（职业提升核心） 嗜酸性粒细胞性胃肠疾病研究者联盟（CEGIR）职业提升核心将 利用CEGIR资源和每个站点的可用机会，创建一个核心，在早期阶段进行培训 近年来，许多学者致力于罕见病研究，重点关注罕见嗜酸性粒细胞性胃肠病（EGID）。通过 CEGIR LEADERS（嗜酸性粒细胞胃肠道和罕见的纵向增强和发展） 疾病奖学金）计划，核心旨在提高罕见疾病的可能性， 学者在学术上的成功训练。CEGIR职业提升核心的具体目标是 1)吸引早期学者进入罕见病领域，重点关注四种罕见病，嗜酸性粒细胞增多症， 食管炎（EoE）、嗜酸性胃炎（EG）、嗜酸性胃肠炎（EGE）和嗜酸性结肠炎（EC）; 2） 帮助学者获得这些罕见疾病的研究经验; 3）促进和鼓励学者的职业生涯 沿着罕见疾病的职业道路发展。这些目标将通过各种干预措施来实现 包括招募优秀的候选人;与 专业组织，如北美儿科胃肠病学会，肝病学和 营养（NASPGHAN）; CEGIR年度教育研讨会;与知名研究人员的互动， 患者倡导团体（PAG）;访问卓越中心以了解新信息的机会， 方法和技术;并通过涉及研究项目的学徒计划。CEGIR LEADERS计划将在研究生院期间吸引早期学者（例如，MD和PhD培训）和 在毕业后的最初几年（奖学金或博士后职位），特别强调 招募代表性不足的少数民族。每个CEGIR站点都拥有帮助职业发展的经验和资源 在临床研究和转化研究中培养早期研究者，并获得 早期阶段的研究人员谁将是优秀的CEGIR学者候选人池。因此，CEGIR职业生涯 增强核心代表了一个无与伦比的机会，为早期学者获得培训，在罕见的 疾病领域，重点是罕见的EGID，并加强他们的职业发展。

Project Summary (Career Enhancement Core) The Consortium of Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disease Researchers (CEGIR) Career Enhancement Core will use CEGIR resources and the opportunities available at each site to create a Core that will train early stage scholars in rare diseases research with a focus on rare eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases (EGIDs). Through the CEGIR LEADERS (Longitudinal Enhancement And Development in Eosinophilic gastrointestinal and Rare diseases Scholarship) program, the Core is designed to enhance the likelihood of rare diseases focus and academic success of the scholars in training. The specific goals of the CEGIR Career Enhancement Core are to 1) attract early stage scholars to the field of rare diseases, with a focus on four rare diseases, eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), eosinophilic gastritis (EG), eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EGE), and eosinophilic colitis (EC); 2) help scholars gain research experiences in these rare diseases; and 3) enhance and encourage scholars’ career development along a rare diseases career path. These goals will be achieved through a variety of interventions including recruiting stellar candidates; a series of online lectures and webinars developed in partnership with professional organizations such as the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (NASPGHAN); an annual CEGIR Education Symposium; interactions with established researchers and patient advocacy groups (PAGs); opportunities to visit centers of excellence to learn new information, approaches, and technologies; and through an apprenticeship program involving research projects. The CEGIR LEADERS program will engage early stage scholars during graduate school (e.g., MD and PhD training) and during the initial years beyond graduation (fellowship or postdoctoral positions) with special emphasis on recruitment of underrepresented minorities. Each CEGIR site has experience and resources to aid career development of early stage investigators in clinical investigation and translational research and has access to a pool of early stage investigators who will be outstanding CEGIR scholar candidates. Thus, the CEGIR Career Enhancement Core represents an unparalleled opportunity for early stage scholars to obtain training in the rare diseases field with a focus on rare EGIDs and to enhance their career development.
