DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Virginia School of Medicine and Department of Pediatrics have a long track record and commitment to training clinician investigators. Ongoing training programs in Pediatric Cardiology and Nephrology have been very successful in producing independent clinician investigators. Based upon these successes in 1999 we proposed a new interdisciplinary training program for clinician investigators in Pediatric Cardiovascular Research with the goal to produce the future leaders in Academic Pediatrics. The new training grant increased the trainee pool, expanded the fellowship programs and helped recruit 20% minority applicants into the training program. We achieved our goal of 100% retention in the program and 6 out of the 7 graduates from the grant have entered academic careers. A unique feature of this program is that it provides opportunities for formal training in either a basic science or clinical investigation track. Half of our initial trainees have chosen the clinical investigation track and enrolled in Graduate degree programs in Health Evaluation Sciences or the non-degree Multi-disciplinary Training Program in Clinical Investigation sponsored by the NIH funded General Clinical Research Center. The basic science track involves close work with a primary mentor and collaboration with other mentors. Graduate courses and research centers including the NIH Center of Excellence in Pediatric Nephrology and the Cardiovascular Research Center provide further opportunities for training. The Mentors have a productive record of collaboration in research and research training and are committed to improving mentorship skills through the mentorship development program. The executive committee will provide structure and guidance for training and the Pediatric Fellows Training Program provides further didactic training and fosters an identity for the trainees. This training grant will continue to fill a growing need for research in pediatrics by offering cardiovascular research training to MD's in pediatric subspecialty training in cardiology or nephrology.

描述（由申请人提供）： 弗吉尼亚大学医学院和儿科系在培训临床研究人员方面有着悠久的历史和承诺。儿科心脏病学和肾脏病学的持续培训计划在培养独立的临床研究人员方面非常成功。基于1999年的这些成功，我们提出了一个新的跨学科培训计划，为临床研究人员在儿科心血管研究的目标，以产生未来的领导者在学术儿科。新的培训补助金增加了受训人员的数量，扩大了奖学金计划，并帮助招募了20%的少数民族申请人参加培训计划。我们实现了100%保留该计划的目标，7名毕业生中有6名获得了奖学金，他们已经进入了学术生涯。该计划的一个独特之处是，它提供了在基础科学或临床调查轨道正式培训的机会。我们的初始学员中有一半选择了临床研究轨道，并参加了健康评估科学研究生学位课程或由NIH资助的一般临床研究中心赞助的临床研究非学位多学科培训计划。基础科学轨道涉及与主要导师的密切合作以及与其他导师的合作。研究生课程和研究中心，包括美国国立卫生研究院卓越中心在儿科肾病和心血管研究中心提供进一步的培训机会。导师们在研究和研究培训方面有着富有成效的合作记录，并致力于通过导师发展计划提高导师技能。执行委员会将提供培训的结构和指导，儿科研究员培训计划提供进一步的教学培训，并培养学员的身份。这项培训补助金将继续通过向医学博士提供心脏病学或肾脏病学儿科专科培训的心血管研究培训来满足儿科研究日益增长的需求。(END（见摘要）
