DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Training Program in Pediatric Endocrinology at The University of Chicago will train pediatric physician-scientists in the investigation of endocrine diseases. This program is in response to the severe shortage of physician-scientists who have careers focused on pediatric endocrinology. Fortunately, this need comes at a time when the size of the Pediatric Endocrinology Section and available research opportunities have increased at The University of Chicago. While, The University of Chicago has an excellent record in training endocrinologists, the number of pediatric endocrinologists trained has been limited by available funding. Four highly qualified pediatricians, who have completed clinical training in pediatric endocrinology, will be accepted into a program that will feature basic and clinical science integration and collaboration among investigators from diverse disciplines. The Training Faculty carry out a broad range of endocrine-related research supported by a substantial base of NIH funding and are members of several University Departments: Pediatrics, Medicine, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Human Genetics and Health Studies. The program will emphasize all aspects of pediatric endocrinology including disorders of growth and development, puberty, obesity, the thyroid, and diabetes. There will be a required core curriculum consisting of courses in research methodology, molecular biology, genetics and epidemiology and statistical analysis of research data. Training mentors have NIH-funded research programs that can support the trainees investigational experience over a two year period. In addition, there will be seminars and conferences in endocrinological research as well as related disciplines. These features are critical for mastery of research in pediatric endocrinology. An executive committee will assist the directors in running and evaluating the program. In summary, the strengths of this research training program are collegial and successful mentors, an active general clinical research center, a committed executive committee, and a rich academic environment at The University of Chicago.

描述（由申请人提供）： 芝加哥大学的儿科内分泌学培训项目将培训儿科医生-科学家进行内分泌疾病的调查。该计划是为了应对严重短缺的医生，科学家谁有职业生涯专注于儿科内分泌学。幸运的是，这种需求是在芝加哥大学儿科内分泌科的规模和可用的研究机会增加的时候出现的。虽然芝加哥大学在培训内分泌学家方面有着良好的记录，但培训的儿科内分泌学家的数量受到可用资金的限制。四名高素质的儿科医生，谁已经完成了儿科内分泌学的临床培训，将被接受到一个程序，将具有基础和临床科学整合和来自不同学科的研究人员之间的合作。培训学院开展了广泛的内分泌相关研究，得到了NIH资金的大量支持，并且是几个大学部门的成员：儿科学，医学，生物化学和分子生物学，人类遗传学和健康研究。该计划将强调儿科内分泌学的各个方面，包括生长发育障碍，青春期，肥胖，甲状腺和糖尿病。必修的核心课程包括研究方法、分子生物学、遗传学和流行病学以及研究数据的统计分析。培训导师有NIH资助的研究项目，可以支持学员在两年期间的研究经验。此外，还将举办内分泌学研究及相关学科的研讨会和会议。这些特征对于掌握儿科内分泌学研究至关重要。一个执行委员会将协助董事管理和评估该计划。总之，这个研究培训计划的优势是学院和成功的导师，一个活跃的一般临床研究中心，一个致力于执行委员会，并在芝加哥大学丰富的学术环境。
