Child Health Research Career Development Award

描述（由申请人提供）：哥伦布儿童医院儿童健康研究职业发展奖（CCH-CHRCDA）的长期目标是培养新的儿科医生-科学家。 由于过去十年生物医学科学的快速发展，迫切需要加快基础科学发现向有利于儿童健康的临床应用的转移。 作为一个大型的，多学科的儿科部门（俄亥俄州州立大学）在一家医院专门致力于儿童护理（CCH），我们是理想的定位，以进一步这一事业。 我们将继续我们现有的CHRCDA的主题，为这个竞争性的更新应用-分子医学在儿科。 尽管自1996年首次申请以来，科学和医学已经快速发展，但我们选择的主题的基本前提只是得到了验证。 我们为过去四年取得的成就感到自豪。 我们的前三位CHRCDA学者都连续获得独立的NIH R 01资助。 包括我们目前接受CHRCDA资助的3名学者在内，50%（3/6）是妇女，17%（1/6）是少数民族（非洲人）。 对研究和CHRCDA的机构支持从未如此强大。 在过去五年中，卫生协调委员会已投资超过2000万美元，通过儿童研究所和该部扩大研究。 去年，CCH致力于更大幅度地扩大设施和师资队伍。 因此，我们准备扩大我们成功的CHRCDA计划。 我们精心挑选了21名高级教师，代表6个部门，3所学院和3所儿童研究所和俄亥俄州州立大学作为既定的调查员。 此外，我们已经确定了一个优秀的未来学者池为这个更新的应用程序。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long-term objective of Columbus Children's Hospital Child Health Research Career Development Award (CCH-CHRCDA) is to train new pediatric physician-scientists. Because of rapid advances in biomedical sciences during the past decade, there is a pressing need to speed the transfer of basic science discoveries to clinical applications that will benefit the health of children. As a large, multidisciplinary Department of Pediatrics (Ohio State University) at a hospital devoted solely to the care of children (CCH), we are ideally positioned to further this cause. We will continue the theme of our existing CHRCDA for this competing renewal application - molecular medicine in pediatrics. Although science and medicine have moved forward at a rapid pace since our original application in 1996, the basic premise of our chosen theme has only gained validation. We are proud of our achievements over the last four years. Our first three CHRCDA Scholars have all in succession obtained independent NIH R01 funding. Including our 3 Scholars currently receiving CHRCDA funding, 50% (3/6) have been women and 17% (1/6) have been minorities (African). Institutional support of research and the CHRCDA has never been stronger. Over the past five years, CCH has invested in excess of $20 M to expand research through Children's Research Institute and the Department. Last year, CCH committed to an even more substantial expansion of facilities and faculty. Thus, we are poised to extend our successful CHRCDA program. We have handpicked 21 senior faculty representing 6 Departments, 3 Colleges, and 3 Institutes across Children's Research Institute and The Ohio State University to serve as Established Investigators. Furthermore, we have identified an outstanding pool of prospective scholars for this renewal application.
