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)：本申请建立在培训内科科学家的卓越记录的基础上，旨在通过增强研究人员的实力和扩大研究人员的能力，改进爱荷华大学现有的新生儿博士后培训计划。研究人员的目标是为三名医学博士或医学博士/博士实习生提供2至3年的严格、高素质、最先进的医学研究培训。研究人员受训人员获得必要的知识、技能和工作习惯将在强调科学卓越和协作团队合作的培养环境中进行。该项目的教员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系(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)的一系列研究人员。可供受训人员使用的机构资源十分丰富。培训生的选择是基于他们成为独立医生的潜力的竞争性，这些医生是能够在研究和临床医学中承担领导角色的科学家。在选择了一名教师和一个研究领域后，受训人员将在教师教师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、基因疗法、分子遗传学和临床试验/流行病学。由于教员之间的重叠和协作研究兴趣，受训人员将有多种机会与不同范围的教员互动。每个学员的研究项目将在学员导师、项目主任和新生儿学导师教员的意见和指导下个别制定。除了亲身实践实验室体验，学员还将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、手稿和补助金，以及通过参加研究会议，直接了解高质量科学研究的本质。其他重要的因素是由新生儿科教员提供的小组支持和指导，以及拟议的计划和内部咨询委员会的意见和监督。拟议计划的有效性将以系统的方式进行前瞻性评估。有了NIH目前享有的支持以外的支持，研究人员将能够显著提高他们为博士后医师实习生提供的新生儿医学研究培训体验。
