DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): With the knowledge that scientific discovery and application is often an inefficient process, the National Institute of Health (NIH) launched the Clinical Translational Science Award (CTSA) program to transform the research and training environment to enhance efficiency and quality of clinical and translational research. An explicit expectation is that the CTSA sites would discover a way to leverage these programs to create linkages and synergy across programs to conduct efficient, high quality research. Concurrently, Congress passed the NIH reauthorization act that explicitly indicated the necessity of including children's health research in these scientific endeavors. This proposal, supporting the Child Health CTSA Consortia Meeting spans for three years, with meetings that will occur in conjunction with the Pediatric Academic Societies (PAS) annual meeting. The PAS annual meeting offers a unique opportunity to capture the largest committed group of child health scientists that exist, spanning multiple disciplines and organizations. The three objectives of the one and a half day Child Health CTSA Consortia Meeting include: 1) to bring lead pediatric CTSA institutional researchers together to share expertise that can be utilized at and across CTSA sites; 2) to expand the reach of this expertise to a larger group of pediatric scientists attending the PAS meeting, many of whom belong to non-CTSA institutions and are also critical to child health research efforts; and 3) to provide a CTSA child health fellowship program, aimed at fellows and junior faculty, to promote career development in clinical and translational research. Children's health research is unique in multiple ways and requires a special perspective and expertise. Three topic areas were selected through discussions with the CTSA Child Health Oversight committee membership, representing the most experienced pediatric researchers in clinical translational research across the country. The proposed Child Health CTSA Consortia Meeting will build collaborations across both CTSA and non-CTSA sites to learn core skills in three key areas, over three years including: 1) Year one: Informatics; 2) Year two: Community engagement, and 3) Year three: Life continuum research. Both senior and junior child health investigators will provide state of the art processes and applications in the three noted areas. Yearly, this will occur via an interactive workshop, CTSA child health fellow presentations, two symposia, and an abstract session. PROJECT NARRARIVE The proposed meeting will partner Clinical Translational Science Award (CTSA) child health researchers from the 46 institutional sites with leading child health scientists attending the Pediatric Academic Societies' (PAS) national meeting. This will build collaborations across both CTSA and non-CTSA sites to learn core skills that will enhance the ability to conduct quality clinical child health research.

由于认识到科学发现和应用通常是一个效率低下的过程，美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）推出了临床转化科学奖（CTSA）计划，以改变研究和培训环境，提高临床和转化研究的效率和质量。一个明确的期望是，CTSA网站将发现一种方法来利用这些计划，以建立跨计划的联系和协同作用，以进行高效，高质量的研究。与此同时，国会通过了NIH再授权法案，明确指出在这些科学努力中包括儿童健康研究的必要性。该提案支持儿童健康CTSA联盟会议，为期三年，会议将与儿科学术学会（PAS）年会一起举行。PAS年度会议提供了一个独特的机会，以捕捉现有的最大的儿童健康科学家群体，跨越多个学科和组织。为期一天半的儿童健康CTSA联盟会议的三个目标包括：1）将CTSA机构的主要儿科研究人员聚集在一起，分享可以在CTSA站点内和跨CTSA站点使用的专业知识; 2）将这种专业知识的范围扩大到参加PAS会议的更多儿科科学家，其中许多人属于非CTSA机构，对儿童健康研究工作也至关重要;和3）提供CTSA儿童健康奖学金计划，针对研究员和初级教师，以促进临床和转化研究的职业发展。儿童健康研究在许多方面都是独一无二的，需要特殊的视角和专业知识。通过与CTSA儿童健康监督委员会成员的讨论，选择了三个主题领域，代表了全国临床转化研究中最有经验的儿科研究人员。拟议的儿童健康CTSA联盟会议将在CTSA和非CTSA网站之间建立合作，在三年内学习三个关键领域的核心技能，包括：1）第一年：信息学; 2）第二年：社区参与; 3）第三年：生命连续体研究。高级和初级儿童健康调查员将提供三个领域的最先进的过程和应用。每年，这将通过一个互动研讨会，CTSA儿童健康研究员介绍，两个研讨会和一个抽象的会议。 项目简介 拟议的会议将与来自46个机构的临床转化科学奖（CTSA）儿童健康研究人员合作，并与参加儿科学术学会（PAS）全国会议的主要儿童健康科学家合作。这将在CTSA和非CTSA站点之间建立合作，以学习核心技能，从而提高进行高质量临床儿童健康研究的能力。
