DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Child Health Research Career Development Award (CHRCDA) Program at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine is designed to provide mentored, intensive basic research experience for a period of 2-3 years necessary to prepare pediatricians for productive and independent careers in biomedical research and academic pediatrics. The theme of this proposal, "Molecular and Developmental Biology in Pediatrics," has unique relevance to the most common disorders seen in childhood. It encompasses normal developmental biology as well as adaptation of the fetus and child to insults occurring during ontogenesis. The multidisciplinary nature of the program - drawing from the experience of established scientists in the Department of Pediatrics, Human Genetics, Internal Medicine, Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology, Immunobiology, Pharmacology and Biological Chemistry, and Physiology and Biophysics - has evolved from common interests, frequent interactions, past training of pediatric scientists, and several areas of ongoing collaborative research of the faculty. The program will provide rigorous and flexible basic research experience for young pediatric scientists through collegial interaction with Center faculty, through startup funding as provided by new project development awards, and through the program's educational core. The selection of new project development scholars by the Program Executive Committee will be highly competitive and only those individuals with exceptional credentials or potential will be accepted by the program's Executive Committee. A novel strategy to recruit under-represented minorities to the program will be implemented. A career plan will be prepared for each scholar that will consider specific long and short-term research career goals and the competencies that will contribute to development as an independent investigator. The laboratories of the program's faculty in the Department of Pediatrics and in basic science departments will serve as sites for pediatric research faculty development. The CHRCDA program will utilize the Shared Core Laboratories at Mount Sinai School of Medicine such as state of the art methodology for cell and whole animal imaging, for production of transgenic and knockout mouse models, and for high throughput gene screening and gene expression profiling. All CHRCDA scholars will participate in didactic sessions designed to enhance their mentored program. Regular research seminars and periodic laboratory workshops will also promote interactions among young investigators and program faculty. Overall, the program is enhanced by centralization of laboratory facilities and faculty, the existing interactions amongst research programs within the institution, the many core laboratory resources which are readily available to researchers, and the recruitment base of highly qualified applicants already attracted to the excellence of Mount Sinai's clinical departments and basic sciences.

描述(由申请人提供)：西奈山医学院的儿童健康研究职业发展奖(CHRCDA)计划旨在提供2-3年的有指导的、密集的基础研究经验，为儿科医生在生物医学研究和学术儿科领域富有成效和独立的职业生涯做准备。这项提案的主题是“儿科学中的分子和发育生物学”，与儿童时期最常见的疾病具有独特的相关性。它包括正常的发育生物学，以及胎儿和儿童对个体发育期间发生的侮辱的适应。该项目的多学科性质-借鉴了儿科、人类遗传学、内科、分子、细胞和发育生物学、免疫生物学、药理学和生物化学以及生理学和生物物理学系的资深科学家的经验-从共同兴趣、频繁的互动、儿科科学家过去的培训以及教员正在进行的几个领域的合作研究中演变而来。该计划将通过与中心教职员工的合作互动，通过新项目开发奖项提供的启动资金，以及通过该计划的教育核心，为年轻的儿科科学家提供严格而灵活的基础研究体验。项目执行委员会挑选新的项目开发学者的竞争将非常激烈，只有那些具有特殊资历或潜力的个人才会被项目执行委员会接受。将实施一项新的战略，招募代表人数不足的少数族裔加入该计划。将为每一位学者准备一份职业规划，其中将考虑具体的长期和短期研究职业目标以及有助于发展为独立调查员的能力。该计划教员在儿科和基础科学系的实验室将作为儿科研究教员发展的场所。CHRCDA计划将利用西奈山医学院的共享核心实验室，例如最先进的细胞和整体动物成像方法，生产转基因和敲除小鼠模型，以及高通量基因筛选和基因表达谱分析。所有CHRCDA学者将参加旨在加强他们的指导计划的教学会议。定期的研究研讨会和定期的实验室讲习班也将促进年轻研究人员和项目教职员工之间的互动。总体而言，实验室设施和教师的集中化、机构内研究项目之间的现有互动、研究人员随时可以获得的许多核心实验室资源以及已经被西奈山的临床部门和基础科学所吸引的高素质申请者的招聘基础，都加强了该计划。
