DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Pediatric Endocrinology Research Training Program at the University of Chicago will train pediatric physician-scientists in the investigation of endocrine diseases. This training program will help fill the national shortage of physician-scientists in the area of pediatric endocrinology. Four research training slots are requested so that two trainees can be entered annually into a two-year research training program. Thus, this program is for trainees who have had introductory laboratory and course work in their initial year of pediatric endocrinology training and have developed a research project to which they are prepared to dedicate 80% effort for the two-year training period. The training is based in a newly combined Pediatric-Adult Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism unit, the Institute for Endocrine Discovery and Clinical Care. The Senior Training Faculty numbers 15 investigators from four University departments (Medicine, Pediatrics, Human Genetics, Health Studies) who carry out a broad range of endocrine-related clinical and basic research supported by a substantial base of NIH and other peer-reviewed research grants. Each is an established investigator. In addition, the program is aided by the participation of 13 Associate Training Faculty from the Departments of Medicine, Pediatrics, Ob/Gyn and Health Studies. The University provides a rich environment of other faculty and physical resources. Trainees are selected on the basis of prior individual accomplishments including prior research training and experience as well as commitment to an academic research career. Trainees select a basic and clinical research mentor and an advisor, and the trainee and mentors jointly identify a primary and secondary research project. Trainees then undergo at least 2 years of training in the research laboratory of the preceptor(s), during which time they assume a progressively greater responsibility for developing research hypotheses, designing experiments, analyzing the data and preparing abstracts and scientific manuscripts. In the final year of training, an area of research is identified which is sufficiently different from the research of the preceptor to allow the trainee to submit a peer-reviewed mentored research grant proposal. This research training occurs within the framework of a required core curriculum consisting of courses that describe and review current research methodology and research advances as well as statistical analysis of research data. The setting is one that emphasizes translational research and timely monitoring of trainee progress. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The Pediatric Endocrinology Research Training Program at the University of Chicago aims to produce highly qualified physician-scientists trained in the use of a variety of modern experimental techniques that will enable them to translate fundamental discoveries into improved medical care of diabetes and other endocrine disorders.

描述（由申请人提供）： 芝加哥大学的儿科内分泌学研究培训计划将培训儿科医师科学家进行内分泌疾病的研究。该培训计划将有助于填补全国儿科内分泌领域医师科学家的短缺。需要四个研究培训名额，以便每年两名受训者可以参加为期两年的研究培训计划。因此，该计划适用于在儿科内分泌学培训第一年完成了介绍性实验室和课程工作并已开发出一个研究项目的学员，他们准备在两年的培训期间投入 80% 的精力。该培训以新成立的儿科-成人内分泌、糖尿病和代谢部门——内分泌发现和临床护理研究所为基础。高级培训学院由来自四个大学系（医学、儿科、人类遗传学、健康研究）的 15 名研究人员组成，他们在 NIH 和其他同行评审研究资助的大量支持下开展广泛的内分泌相关临床和基础研究。每个人都是一位资深的调查员。此外，该计划还得到了来自医学、儿科、妇产科和健康研究系的 13 名助理培训教师的参与的协助。大学提供了丰富的其他师资和物质资源环境。学员的选择是基于之前的个人成就，包括之前的研究培训和经验以及对学术研究职业的承诺。学员选择基础和临床研究导师和顾问，学员和导师共同确定主要和次要研究项目。然后，学员在导师的研究实验室接受至少 2 年的培训，在此期间，他们逐渐承担起更大的责任，包括提出研究假设、设计实验、分析数据以及准备摘要和科学手稿。在培训的最后一年，确定一个与导师的研究完全不同的研究领域，以便受训者能够提交经过同行评审的指导性研究资助提案。这种研究培训是在所需核心课程的框架内进行的，该课程包括描述和回顾当前研究方法和研究进展以及研究数据统计分析的课程。这一设置强调转化研究和及时监控学员的进展。 公共健康相关性：芝加哥大学的儿科内分泌学研究培训计划旨在培养高素质的医师科学家，接受过使用各种现代实验技术的培训，使他们能够将基本发现转化为改善糖尿病和其他内分泌疾病的医疗护理。
