DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Nationwide, there is a significant shortage of pediatric endocrinologists, particularly true at academic institutions. The primary goal for this competing renewal T32 proposal is to facilitate the training of highly skilled academic pediatric endocrinologists by providing concentrated research training in either basic or patient-oriented science during fellowship. Our secondary objective is to provide an environment that will facilitate the successful advancement of women into academic careers. Fellows selected for this training program must demonstrate a strong interest in a future academic career. They will be asked to propose research plans that will allow their progression into the ranks of academic pediatric faculties. Fellows will be matched with mentors that can support their goals for research training and provide guidance for advancement to the next phase of their academic careers. Faculty mentors will be selected for their ability to facilitate this transition and to impart a culture of responsible, rigorous, and robust science as is the tradition of the Pediatric Department at University of Minnesota. Trainees choose between a basic science or a clinical science research tack. Trainees on the clinical research track will obtain a formal Master's Degree in Clinical Research. Since this program began in 2002, it has recruited 6 women (1 per year). Four have completed the program, two of whom are tenure-track academic faculty (one with a Children's Miracle Network grant and the other with a K12). The two fellows still in training are highly likely to enter academic medicine. The historic strengths of this institution and its programs afford trainees an exceptionally diverse and high quality educational experience. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Given the current epidemic of pediatric diabetes and obesity and the profound impact these diseases are likely to have on future adult health, there is an urgent public health need for physician scientists trained to be able to tackle critical endocrine problems through innovative scientific discovery and its translation into clinical practice.

描述(由申请人提供)： 在全国范围内，儿科内分泌科医生严重短缺，尤其是在学术机构。这项相互竞争的更新T32提案的主要目标是通过在奖学金期间提供基础科学或以患者为导向的科学方面的集中研究培训，促进高技能学术儿科内分泌学家的培训。我们的次要目标是提供一个环境，促进妇女成功地进入学术事业。被选中参加这一培训计划的研究员必须对未来的学术生涯表现出强烈的兴趣。他们将被要求提出研究计划，使他们能够进入儿科学术学院的行列。研究员将与导师匹配，这些导师可以支持他们的研究培训目标，并为他们的学术生涯下一阶段的发展提供指导。教师导师将根据他们促进这一转变的能力和传授负责任、严谨和强大的科学文化的能力而被挑选出来，这是明尼苏达大学儿科的传统。学员在基础科学和临床科学研究方向之间做出选择。临床研究领域的实习生将获得临床研究的正式硕士学位。该方案自2002年开始实施以来，已经招募了6名妇女(每年1名)。其中四人完成了该项目，其中两人是终身教职教师(一人获得了儿童奇迹网络奖学金，另一人获得了K12学位)。这两名仍在接受培训的研究员很有可能进入学术医学领域。该机构及其项目的历史优势为学员提供了异常多样化和高质量的教育体验。 公共卫生相关性：鉴于目前儿童糖尿病和肥胖症的流行，以及这些疾病可能对未来成人健康产生的深远影响，公共卫生迫切需要经过培训的内科科学家能够通过创新的科学发现并将其转化为临床实践来解决关键的内分泌问题。
