DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Building on the record of excellence in training physician-scientists, the present application seeks to improve upon the existing neonatology postdoctoral training program at the University of Iowa by enhancing the investigators' strengths and expanding the investigators' capabilities. The investigators' objective is to provide three M.D. or M.D./Ph.D. trainees with 2 to 3 years of rigorous, high caliber, state-of-the-art training in medical research. The acquisition of the requisite knowledge, skills, and work habits by the investigators' trainees will take place in a nurturing environment emphasizing scientific excellence and collaborative teamwork. The program's faculty preceptors include senior and mid-level scientists who have established successful careers as medical researchers and mentors. The faculty includes a spectrum of researchers from the departments of basic science (Biochemistry, Anatomy & Cell Biology, Physiology and Biophysics) and from clinical medicine (Pediatrics, Internal Medicine, Obstetrics and Gynecology, and Otolaryngology). Institutional resources available to trainees are outstanding. The selection of trainees is competitively based on their potential for becoming independent physician-scientists capable of assuming leadership roles in research and clinical medicine. After selecting a faculty preceptor and an area of research, trainees will pursue hypothesis-based research in one of the five research areas of the preceptor faculty's strengths: developmental physiology, developmental biology, gene therapy, molecular genetics, and clinical trials/epidemiology. Because of the overlapping and collaborative research interests among the faculty, trainees will have multiple opportunities to interact with a diverse spectrum of faculty. Each trainee's research program will be developed on an individual basis with input and guidance from the trainee's preceptor, the Program Directors, and the Neonatology preceptor faculty. In addition to engaging in hands-on laboratory experiences, trainees will learn directly about the nature of high quality scientific research by attending research seminars, lectures, and laboratory meetings, by writing research proposals, manuscripts, and grants, and by participating in research conferences. Other important elements are group support and mentoring by the neonatology faculty with input from and oversight by the proposed Program and Internal Advisory Committees. Proposed program's effectiveness will be prospectively evaluated in a systematic fashion. With NIH support beyond that which the investigators currently enjoy, the investigators will be able to significantly enhance the research training experiences they offer their postdoctoral physician trainees in neonatal medicine.

描述（由申请人提供）：建立在培养医生-科学家的卓越记录上，本申请寻求通过增强研究者的优势和扩展研究者的能力来改进爱荷华州大学现有的口腔医学博士后培训计划。研究人员的目标是提供三个医学博士。或医学博士/博士接受2至3年严格、高素质、最先进的医学研究培训的学员。调查员受训人员将在强调科学卓越和团队协作的培养环境中获得必要的知识、技能和工作习惯。该计划的教师导师包括高级和中级科学家，他们作为医学研究人员和导师建立了成功的职业生涯。该学院包括来自基础科学（生物化学，解剖学和细胞生物学，生理学和生物物理学）和临床医学（儿科，内科，妇产科和耳鼻喉科）部门的研究人员。向受训人员提供的机构资源十分丰富。学员的选择是有竞争力的基础上，他们成为独立的医生，科学家能够承担领导作用的研究和临床医学的潜力。在选择教师导师和研究领域后，学员将在导师教师的优势的五个研究领域之一进行基于假设的研究：发育生理学，发育生物学，基因治疗，分子遗传学和临床试验/流行病学。由于教师之间的重叠和合作的研究兴趣，学员将有多种机会与教师的多元化互动。每个受训者的研究计划将根据个人情况制定，并由受训者的导师、项目主任和新生儿学导师提供投入和指导。除了从事动手实验室的经验，学员将直接了解高质量的科学研究的性质，通过参加研究研讨会，讲座和实验室会议，通过撰写研究提案，手稿和赠款，并通过参加研究会议。其他重要因素是小组的支持和指导，由医学系与输入和监督拟议的计划和内部咨询委员会。将以系统的方式对拟议方案的有效性进行前瞻性评估。在NIH的支持下，研究人员将能够显著增强他们为新生儿医学博士后医生学员提供的研究培训经验。
