DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The current proposal seeks renewal of the Child Health Research Career Development Award in the Department of Pediatrics at Yale University School of Medicine. The goal of the Yale Child Health Research Career Development Program (YCHRCDP) funded by the NICHD award continues to be the advancement of research in child health by preparing physician-scientists for independent research careers in academic and investigative pediatrics. Initially funded as a P30 award in 1990, over the past 15 years the YCHRCDP has fostered the career development of 38 physician-scientists studying fundamental processes of organ development and childhood disease. Forty percent (40%) of the awardees have been principal investigators on R- or U-level funding from the NIH. Thirty-nine percent (39%) of the awardees have been women, and the rate and timing of independent NIH funding and academic promotion for these female physician-scientists are equivalent to their male counterparts. More than 30 Yale faculty have served as mentors for YCHRCDP awardees, and 70% of our appointees have trained in departments other than pediatrics, including Genetics, Immunobiology; Internal Medicine, Pathology, and Physiology. In keeping with the internal maturation of our program over the past 15 years, our current goal is to expand the impact of the YCHRCDP in five areas: (1) to enlarge the scope of our career development curriculum by incorporating new mentoring initiatives both within the Department and beyond our walls; (2) to continue to emphasize role models for female physician-scientists (50% of our Internal Advisory Board and 21% of proposed mentors) and to extend this paradigm to minorities (12% of awardees); (3) to expand support for the early years of physician-scientists' careers by integrating financial resources from the Department of Pediatrics, the School of Medicine, and NICHD; (4) to enhance the effectiveness of the YCHRCDP by continuing to strengthen our alliances with research programs of relevance to child health that are sited in other departments; and (5) to forge new linkages with supra-departmental career development programs (Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholars Program and Investigative Medicine Program) at the Yale School of Medicine, thereby enlarging the scope of career development opportunities for our scholars.

描述(由申请人提供)：目前的提案寻求续签耶鲁大学医学院儿科儿童健康研究职业发展奖。由NICHD奖资助的耶鲁儿童健康研究职业发展计划(YCHRCDP)的目标仍然是通过为学术和调查性儿科学领域的独立研究职业生涯培养内科科学家来推进儿童健康研究。 YCHRCDP最初于1990年作为P30奖获得资助，在过去的15年里，该计划促进了38名研究器官发育和儿童疾病基本过程的内科科学家的职业发展。40%(40%)的获奖者是来自NIH的R-或U-Level资金的主要调查人员。39%(39%)的获奖者是女性，这些女性内科科学家获得NIH独立资助和学术晋升的速度和时机与男性相当。30多名耶鲁大学教职员工担任YCHRCDP获奖者的导师，我们任命的70%的获奖者在儿科以外的系接受过培训，包括遗传学、免疫生物学、内科、病理学和生理学。 随着我们项目在过去15年中的内部成熟，我们目前的目标是在五个方面扩大YCHRCDP的影响：(1)通过在系内外纳入新的指导倡议，扩大我们职业发展课程的范围；(2)继续强调女性内科科学家的榜样(我们内部顾问委员会的50%和建议导师的21%)，并将这一模式推广到少数族裔(12%的获奖者)；(3)通过整合儿科、医学院和NICHD的财政资源，扩大对医生-科学家职业生涯早期的支持；(4)通过继续加强我们与其他部门与儿童健康相关的研究项目的联盟，提高YCHRCDP的有效性；以及(5)与耶鲁医学院的跨部门职业发展计划(Robert Wood Johnson临床学者计划和调查医学计划)建立新的联系，从而扩大我们学者的职业发展机会范围。
