Advances in our understanding and treatment of childhood respiratory disorders have been limited by a lack of insight into basic mechanisms of disease and the development of novel therapeutic strategies. The purpose of this program is to provide rigorous multi-disciplinary training for academically-oriented pediatricians interested in childhood lung diseases. This proposal is a renewal of the NIH Training Program in Pediatric Lung Disease at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, and represents the continuation of a well-established program that has existed since 1988. This current proposal has been expanded to represent the evolution of our training program and to reflect our highly interactive, multi-disciplinary faculty. Strengths of this program include benefits derived from the integration of extensive resources of two collaborating hospitals (The Children's Hospital (TCH) and National Jewish Medical and Research Center (NJMRC)) and five research units at the NJMRC and the UCHSC campus (Developmental Lung Biology Laboratory, Pediatric Heart Lung Center Laboratory, the Perinatal Research Facility, and the Cardiovascular Pulmonary Laboratories). These resources are combined into a versatile training environment for both basic and applied research. Faculty in this program include the PIs of 2 PPGs, 2 SCORs, a Therapeutic Development Center Award in Cystic Fibrosis, an NIH Clinical Research Center Grant, and several individual awards that address basic, applied and clinical research questions in the area of pulmonary biology. Collaborations between laboratory and clinical investigators are a major strength of this proposal, enhancing interactions between scientists and clinicians from diverse backgrounds and encouraging "bench to bedside" approaches to pediatric lung disease. All participants in the training program are full-time academic faculty, and include pediatric pulmonary and critical care physician- investigators, along with several basic (PhD) and other scientists from throughout UCHSC. The most promising individuals with clearly defined academical goals are selected from candidates within our pediatric pulmonary, critical care and neonatology fellowship training programs. After a clinical year of training (funded from other sources), laboratory or clinical research experience is provided under the direct mentorship of a senior investigator. Structured course work in statistics, molecular biology, cell physiology, ethics, and other areas are provided to the trainees. Review of fellows' progress is closely monitored by the head of the training grant, fellowship directors, their laboratory mentor and special advisors to the program.

我们对儿童呼吸系统疾病的理解和治疗进展受到缺乏对疾病基本机制的了解和新治疗策略开发的限制。该计划的目的是为对儿童肺部疾病感兴趣的学术导向的儿科医生提供严格的多学科培训。该提案是对科罗拉多大学医学院小儿肺部疾病NIH培训计划的更新，代表了自1988年以来一直存在的完善计划的延续。目前的建议已经扩大，以代表我们的培训计划的演变，并反映我们的高度互动，多学科的教师。该计划的优势包括来自两个合作医院（儿童医院（TCH）和国家犹太医学和研究中心（NJMRC））的广泛资源的整合，以及NJMRC和UCHSC校园（发育肺生物学实验室，儿科心肺中心实验室，围产期研究设施和心血管肺实验室）的五个研究单位。这些资源结合成一个通用的培训环境，为基础和应用研究。该计划的教师包括2个PPG的PI，2个SCORs，囊性纤维化治疗开发中心奖，NIH临床研究中心补助金，以及几个解决肺生物学领域基础，应用和临床研究问题的个人奖项。实验室和临床研究者之间的合作是该提案的主要优势，加强了来自不同背景的科学家和临床医生之间的互动，并鼓励“从实验室到床边”的儿科肺部疾病方法。培训计划的所有参与者都是全职学术教师，包括儿科肺病和重症监护医生-研究人员，沿着还有来自UCHSC的几位基础（博士）和其他科学家。具有明确学术目标的最有前途的个人是从我们的儿科肺部，重症监护和儿科奖学金培训计划中的候选人中选出的。经过一年的临床培训（由其他来源资助），在高级研究员的直接指导下提供实验室或临床研究经验。为学员提供统计学、分子生物学、细胞生理学、伦理学和其他领域的结构化课程。研究员的进展审查由培训赠款负责人、研究金主任、他们的实验室导师和该方案的特别顾问密切监测。
