DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a new application, in response to RFA-DK-02-024, for the establishment of a NIH-supported training program in pediatric diabetes at the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh (CHP), Department of Pediatrics, University of Pittsburgh. Throughout its history the diabetes program at CHP has been a strong advocate for research and teaching aimed at the improvement of the lives of children with diabetes. With the reshaping of academic medicine and the increased demands for clinical revenue generation, and with the escalating medical school loans, the physician-scientist is becoming an endangered species. Therefore, the aim of this training application is to prepare clinician-scientists for independent academic careers in pediatric diabetes, emphasizing the clinical application of basic science advances. The core training components of the fellowship program are: 1) apprenticeship with an academically successful mentor; 2) individually tailored course work and didactic study for each fellow based upon specific research and educational needs; 3) exposure to a broad range of interdisciplinary diabetes research seminars; 4) development of core research survival skills; 5) close follow up and guidance of trainee progress; and 6) evolution towards an independent academic career. The organizational structure of the training program includes: 1) the Program Director, Silva Arslanian, M.D., who is the Director of the pediatric General Clinical Research Center; 2) the Program Co-Director, Massimo Trucco M.D. who is the Director of the JDRF Center at CHP and the University; 3) the Executive Committee, comprised of the Associate Directors of five different research tracks in diabetes; 4) the Training Committee, custom designed for each trainee; and 5) an External Advisory Board of 3 highly accomplished diabetes researchers. Our program will involve two-three years of research training beyond the first year of clinical fellowship (funded by the hospital) in Pediatric Endocrinology, Metabolism and Diabetes Mellitus. Support for 3 positions per year is requested for physicians who possess a M.D., or M.D., Ph.D. or D.O. degrees. Special consideration is given to recruiting and retaining individuals from minority populations. This program will foster the development of a diverse and highly trained workforce of pediatric diabetologists to assume leadership roles related to the nation's biomedical and behavioral research efforts in childhood diabetes.

描述（由申请人提供）： 这是一项新申请，旨在响应RFA-DK-02-024，在匹兹堡大学儿科儿科匹兹堡儿童医院（CHP）建立NIH支持的儿科糖尿病培训项目。纵观其历史，CHP的糖尿病项目一直是旨在改善糖尿病儿童生活的研究和教学的强烈倡导者。随着学术医学的重塑和临床创收需求的增加，以及医学院贷款的不断增加，医生科学家正在成为濒危物种。因此，该培训申请的目的是为儿科糖尿病的独立学术生涯准备临床科学家，强调基础科学进展的临床应用。 奖学金计划的核心培训内容是：1）与学术上成功的导师一起学习; 2）根据具体的研究和教育需求为每位研究员量身定制课程工作和教学研究; 3）接触广泛的跨学科糖尿病研究研讨会; 4）发展核心研究生存技能; 5）密切跟踪和指导学员的进展;（6）向独立的学术生涯发展。培训计划的组织结构包括：1）项目主任，席尔瓦阿尔斯拉尼安，医学博士，儿科综合临床研究中心主任; 2）项目联合主任，Massimo Trucco医学博士他是卫生防护中心和大学JDRF中心的主任; 3）执行委员会，由五个不同的糖尿病研究轨道的副主任组成; 4）培训委员会，为每个学员定制设计;和5）外部顾问委员会3高度成就的糖尿病研究人员。我们的计划将涉及两到三年的研究培训超出了第一年的临床奖学金（由医院资助）在儿科内分泌，代谢和糖尿病。要求每年为拥有医学博士学位的医生提供3个职位的支助，或者医学博士博士或者是死亡度对征聘和留住少数民族人员给予特别考虑。该计划将促进儿科糖尿病学家的多样化和训练有素的劳动力的发展，以承担与国家在儿童糖尿病方面的生物医学和行为研究工作相关的领导角色。
