DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Training Program in Pediatric Endocrinology at The University of Chicago will train pediatric physician-scientists in the investigation of endocrine diseases. This program is in response to the severe shortage of physician-scientists who have careers focused on pediatric endocrinology. Fortunately, this need comes at a time when the size of the Pediatric Endocrinology Section and available research opportunities have increased at The University of Chicago. While, The University of Chicago has an excellent record in training endocrinologists, the number of pediatric endocrinologists trained has been limited by available funding. Four highly qualified pediatricians, who have completed clinical training in pediatric endocrinology, will be accepted into a program that will feature basic and clinical science integration and collaboration among investigators from diverse disciplines. The Training Faculty carry out a broad range of endocrine-related research supported by a substantial base of NIH funding and are members of several University Departments: Pediatrics, Medicine, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Human Genetics and Health Studies. The program will emphasize all aspects of pediatric endocrinology including disorders of growth and development, puberty, obesity, the thyroid, and diabetes. There will be a required core curriculum consisting of courses in research methodology, molecular biology, genetics and epidemiology and statistical analysis of research data. Training mentors have NIH-funded research programs that can support the trainees investigational experience over a two year period. In addition, there will be seminars and conferences in endocrinological research as well as related disciplines. These features are critical for mastery of research in pediatric endocrinology. An executive committee will assist the directors in running and evaluating the program. In summary, the strengths of this research training program are collegial and successful mentors, an active general clinical research center, a committed executive committee, and a rich academic environment at The University of Chicago.

描述（由申请人提供）： 芝加哥大学儿科内分泌学培训项目将培训儿科医师科学家进行内分泌疾病的研究。该计划是为了应对专注于儿科内分泌学的医师科学家严重短缺的问题。幸运的是，这种需求是在芝加哥大学儿科内分泌科的规模和可用研究机会不断增加的情况下出现的。虽然芝加哥大学在培训内分泌科医生方面拥有出色的记录，但受培训的儿科内分泌科医生的数量受到可用资金的限制。四名已完成儿科内分泌学临床培训的高素质儿科医生将被纳入一个项目，该项目将以基础科学和临床科学的整合以及来自不同学科的研究人员之间的合作为特色。培训学院在 NIH 的大量资金支持下开展广泛的内分泌相关研究，并且是多个大学系的成员：儿科、医学、生物化学和分子生物学、人类遗传学和健康研究。该项目将强调儿科内分泌学的各个方面，包括生长和发育障碍、青春期、肥胖、甲状腺和糖尿病。必修的核心课程包括研究方法、分子生物学、遗传学和流行病学以及研究数据统计分析等课程。培训导师拥有 NIH 资助的研究项目，可以为学员提供两年的研究经验支持。此外，还将举办内分泌研究及相关学科的研讨会和会议。这些特征对于掌握儿科内分泌学研究至关重要。执行委员会将协助董事运行和评估该计划。总之，该研究培训项目的优势在于芝加哥大学的同事和成功的导师、活跃的普通临床研究中心、忠诚的执行委员会以及丰富的学术环境。
