DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This Mid-Career Investigator Award is designed to support the continued research development and mentoring activities of Tina L. Cheng, MD, MPH, Associate Professor of Pediatrics and Public Health at Johns Hopkins University. Over the past 15 years, Dr. Cheng has demonstrated a commitment to patient- oriented research and mentoring new investigators. She is a pediatrician and established researcher in youth injury and violence prevention with continuous federal funding as Principal Investigator since 1995. She holds multiple national leadership positions in general pediatrics, has published widely in high level journals, and is recognized as a leader in research and training. Her overarching research missions are: 1) to facilitate the healthy development of youth and prevent violence in poor urban communities through research discoveries on effective strategies; and 2) to lead efforts to involve community members in translation of research-proven comprehensive strategies to the community, practice and policy. She is an accomplished mentor who has been particularly successful in recruiting and mentoring minority investigators. Johns Hopkins University provides both the commitment to research excellence and the interdisciplinary environment for productive patient-oriented research and training. Goals for this proposal include: 1) Continuation and expansion of research activities including refinement of interventions with youth, parents and schools to increase school engagement and prevent violence; 2) Enhancement of her research capabilities through coursework at the Bloomberg School of Public Health; and 3) Training and mentorship of general pediatrics and adolescent medicine residents, fellows, and junior faculty in patient-oriented research generally and violence prevention research specifically. Funding of this K24 award will allow Dr. Cheng to be relieved of clinical and administrative duties to focus on these goals. The research plan builds on current and previous work developing community-based interventions with an emphasis on the influence of parents. The mentoring plan involves: 1) Focused recruitment of excellent candidates for patient-oriented research with emphasis on the continued recruitment and mentoring of under-represented minorities; 2) Participation in a patient-oriented research curriculum for fellows in general pediatrics and adolescent medicine; and 3) Mentoring of the next generation of investigators toward independence in patient-oriented research.

描述（由申请人提供）：该职业生涯中期研究员奖旨在支持约翰·霍普金斯大学儿科和公共卫生副教授 Tina L. Cheng（医学博士、公共卫生硕士）的持续研究开发和指导活动。在过去的 15 年里，程博士表现出了对以患者为中心的研究和指导新研究人员的承诺。她是一名儿科医生，也是青少年伤害和暴力预防方面的资深研究员，自 1995 年以来一直作为首席研究员获得联邦资助。她在普通儿科领域担任多个国家领导职务，在高水平期刊上发表了大量文章，被公认为研究和培训领域的领导者。她的首要研究任务是：1）通过有效策略的研究发现，促进青年的健康发展并预防贫困城市社区的暴力； 2) 引导社区成员参与将经过研究证明的综合战略转化为社区、实践和政策。她是一位卓有成就的导师，在招募和指导少数族裔调查员方面尤其成功。约翰·霍普金斯大学致力于卓越的研究，并为富有成效的以患者为导向的研究和培训提供跨学科环境。该提案的目标包括： 1) 继续和扩大研究活动，包括完善对青少年、家长和学校的干预措施，以提高学校参与度并预防暴力； 2) 通过彭博公共卫生学院的课程提高她的研究能力； 3) 对普通儿科和青少年医学住院医师、研究员和初级教师进行以患者为导向的研究和具体的暴力预防研究的培训和指导。 K24 奖项的资助将使郑博士能够免除临床和行政职责，以专注于这些目标。该研究计划以当前和之前的工作为基础，制定基于社区的干预措施，重点关注父母的影响。指导计划包括： 1）集中招募优秀候选人进行以患者为导向的研究，重点是继续招募和指导代表性不足的少数群体； 2) 参与普通儿科和青少年医学研究员以患者为中心的研究课程； 3) 指导下一代研究人员独立进行以患者为导向的研究。
