NEONATAL TRAINING GRANT

描述（由申请人提供）：此培训补助金要求支持3个研究培训职位的第三和第四年医学博士。医学研究员发展足够的研究经验，开始在学术医学的职业生涯。 该培训计划将补充临床儿科学奖学金，该奖学金已在儿童医院医疗中心（CHMC）培训了9至12名研究员多年。培训补助金将只资助那些在获得研究金的头2年后表现出真实的研究潜力和积极性的选定研究员。 研究培训是一种指导性的经验，培训中的研究员与高级导师一起工作，通常是与助理导师一起工作。所有导师都是CHMC新生儿/肺生物学部门的成员，包括6名医学博士。临床医生/研究人员，5名医学博士/博士临床医生/研究人员和7名医学博士/博士或博士研究人员作为一个大型的合作小组，共同研究肺发育和肺损伤的主题。 该小组使用最先进的技术来探索肺生物学中的问题，从分子遗传学和转基因模型到肺生理学。 肺部研究得到NICHD新生儿研究网络支持的临床研究的补充。 该培训补助金的目标是只支持有潜力和动力成为成功的研究型学术儿科医生的新生儿学家的研究培训。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This training grant requests support for 3 research training positions for 3rd and 4th year M.D. neonatology fellows to develop sufficient research experience to initiate careers in academic neonatology. This training program will supplement the clinical neonatology fellowship that has had 9 to 12 fellows in training at Children's Hospital Medical Center (CHMC) for many years. The training grant will support only those select fellows that demonstrate real research potential and motivation after the first 2 years of fellowship. The research training is structured a mentored experience with the fellow in training working with a senior mentor and often with an associate mentor. All mentors are members of the Neonatology/Pulmonary Biology Division at CHMC and include 6 M.D. clinicians/researchers, 5 M.D./Ph.D. clinicians/researchers and 7 M.D./Ph.D. or Ph.D. researchers that work as a large collaborative group with the common research themes of lung development, and lung injury. The group uses state of the art technology to explore questions in lung biology that range from molecular genetics and transgenic models to lung physiology. The lung research is supplemented by clinical research supported by the NICHD Neonatal Research Network. The goal for this training grant is to support only research training for Neonatologists who have the potential and motivation to become successful research oriented academic neonatologists.
