Research Training for Pediatric Subspecialists

简介（由申请人提供）：现诚聘5名儿科亚专科儿科医师科研培养博士后。儿童医院医学中心是世界上最大的全面服务儿科培训项目之一，拥有广泛的机构和外部支持的最先进的研究。儿童医院医疗中心目前有100多名儿科医生在接受专科培训，并有支持初级教师发展的项目，包括儿童健康研究职业发展奖和学监奖学金。然而，在儿科专科医生的研究培训中，一个公认的缺陷是没有足够的高质量的研究经验来准备受训者成功地发展学术生涯。这些培训职位将用于支持亚专业奖学金的第三年研究，以及模仿儿科科学家发展计划的额外第四年的强化研究。将作出集中努力，在具有有效指导学术发展的基础设施的实验室支助没有培训补助金的司的受训者。所有的研究员都将被鼓励在T32中利用教师导师发起重要的研究经验。执行委员会(博士。Boat、Jobe、Daniels和Williams)将在奖学金学生在头两年的训练中表现出潜力和动机后，选出他们以获得支持。研究员将有一个由他们的导师领导的培训委员会来跟踪他们的进展。该计划将在最初两年的临床奖学金之后提供为期两年的密集指导奖学金研究经验。目标是为专科医生成功过渡到K08奖或儿童医院医疗中心的其他教师发展机会做好准备。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We are requesting five postdoctoral positions for focused research training for pediatricians in subspecialty training in pediatrics. Children's Hospital Medical Center is one of the largest full service pediatrics training programs in the world, with extensive institutional and extramural support for state-of-the-art research. The Children's Hospital Medical Center presently has over 100 pediatricians in subspecialty training and has programs for supporting junior faculty development that include a Child Health Research Career Development Award and Proctor Fellowships. However, a well-recognized deficit in the research training of pediatric subspecialists is an inadequate high quality research experience to prepare trainees to successfully develop academic careers. These training positions will be used to support the third research year of the subspecialty fellowship and an extra fourth year of intensive research modeled after the Pediatric Scientist Development Program. A focused effort will be made to support trainees from divisions without training grants in laboratories with the infrastructure to effectively mentor academic development. All fellows will be encouraged to initiate significant research experiences utilizing the faculty mentors for this T32. The Executive Committee (Drs. Boat, Jobe, Daniels, and Williams) will select fellows for support after they have demonstrated the potential and motivation during the first two years of fellowship training. The fellows will have a training committee headed by their mentor to track their progress. The program will provide an intensively mentored fellowship research experience for a full two years after the initial two years of clinical fellowship. The goal is to prepare the subspecialist to transition successfully to the K08 award or the other faculty development opportunities at Children's Hospital Medical Center.
