DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a revised application for an institutional training grant for pediatric physician-scientists that will be centered in the Department of Medicine, Children's Hospital Boston. It is intended to support the postdoctoral training of pediatricians who will continue on to careers in academic pediatrics. Five postdoctoral positions per year are requested, for each of five years. Trainees will each train for an average of two years. The training faculty consist of 30 senior academic and scientific leaders at Children's Hospital, including all 13 Division Chiefs. Trainees will be selected, using rigorous and well-defined criteria, from those in clinical and research subspecialty fellowship training programs within the 13 Divisions within the Department of Medicine. They will take advantage of a supportive environment anchored by a Fellowship Program Office and an Office of Faculty Development (which also assists all other postdoctoral fellows at Children's Hospital Boston). All trainees will take an established course in research methods hosted by the Clinical Research Program of Children's Hospital. Trainees will pursue one of two tracks. Those in the clinical research track will receive didactic instruction at the Harvard School of Public Health in clinical research methods, with the choice of receiving an M.P.H. Those involved in laboratory research will take courses in molecular biology and genetics as well as biostatistics. All trainees will receive instruction in ethical scientific conduct. The proposed mentors have a strong track record in training pediatrician-scientists alongside PhD, non-MD scientists: during the past decade, they have trained 432 MDs and 314 PhDs. Of the 432 MDs, over 186 are productive academic physician-scientists, 140 of whom are pediatricians. Of these, 13, 23, and 85 are at the academic level of professor, associate professor, and assistant professor, respectively. There are 29 Department Chairs or Division/Section Chiefs among them. These former trainees currently hold in aggregate 86 NIH grants and have themselves trained over 285 second-generation trainees (including 18 professors, 37 associate professors, and 62 assistant professors). This training grant offers the opportunity to bring an increasing number of pediatricians into rigorous clinical and bench training environments under the direction of proven mentors, so that they can contribute to the next generation of academic pediatrician scientists.

描述（由申请人提供）：这是一份修订后的儿科医生科学家机构培训补助金申请，将集中在波士顿儿童医院医学部。它旨在支持儿科医生的博士后培训，他们将继续从事学术儿科学的职业。每年要求五个博士后职位，为期五年。受训人员平均受训两年。培训教师由儿童医院的30名高级学术和科学领导人组成，包括所有13名部门负责人。学员将被选中，使用严格和明确的标准，从那些在临床和研究专科奖学金培训计划内的13个部门内的医学系。他们将利用由奖学金计划办公室和教师发展办公室（也协助波士顿儿童医院的所有其他博士后研究员）锚定的支持性环境。所有学员将参加由儿童医院临床研究项目主办的研究方法课程。学员将遵循两条轨道之一。临床研究方向的学生将在哈佛公共卫生学院接受临床研究方法的教学指导，并可选择获得公共卫生硕士学位。参与实验室研究的人员将学习分子生物学和遗传学以及生物统计学课程。所有受训人员都将接受科学道德行为方面的指导。拟议的导师在培训儿科医生科学家以及博士，非MD科学家方面有着良好的记录：在过去的十年中，他们已经培训了432名MD和314名博士。在432位医学博士中，超过186位是富有成效的学术医生-科学家，其中140位是儿科医生。其中，教授级13人，副教授级23人，助理教授级85人。其中有29名系主任或处长/科长。这些前受训人员目前共持有86份NIH赠款，并培训了超过285名第二代受训人员（包括18名教授，37名副教授和62名助理教授）。这项培训补助金提供了机会，使越来越多的儿科医生进入严格的临床和板凳培训环境下的指导下，证明导师，使他们能够为下一代学术儿科科学家作出贡献。
