Antecedants Sequelae of Childhood Onset Disease

描述（由申请人提供）：这是一个新的建议，建立一个儿童健康研究职业发展奖励计划在得克萨斯大学西南医学中心（UTSW）的儿科与乔治利斯特作为PI和菲利普肖作为TD部门的庇护。UTSW和儿科系的理想定位是提供环境，专门的导师，核心资源和有才华的临床医生科学家的流，将受益于这个奖项，并将反过来，成为下一代富有想象力的，独立的，复杂的研究人员专注于对婴儿和儿童一生中重要的疾病。我们的目标是：识别和匹配最有才华和承诺的未来儿科教师与最好的科学指导和研究环境在这个校园，从而为我们的学者提供必要的工具和必要的基础，成为生产力和创造力的科学家;提供时间，结构，财政支持和最小的分心，以帮助鼓励他们追求新颖和富有想象力的战略，以解决最重要和最复杂的医疗问题;并培养这些学者，以培养和加强兴奋，毅力，和同行的互动，这是必不可少的持久的职业生涯。我们组织了这个职业发展计划，其总体主题是“儿童发病疾病的前身和后果”，包括7个主题部分。在这些主题下研究的生物和病理生理过程是至关重要的儿科，他们利用现有的优势在UTSW和非常完善的研究和培训合作之间存在的导师在儿科系和基础科学教师在我们的校园，他们代表了最高优先级的领域在最新的战略计划由院长的咨询委员会在学校锻造。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a new proposal to establish a Child Health Research Career Development Award Program at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (UTSW) under the aegis of the Department of Pediatrics with George Lister as PI and Philip Shaul as TD. UTSW and the Dept of Pediatrics are ideally positioned to provide the environment, the dedicated mentors, the core resources, and the stream of talented clinician-scientists that would benefit immeasurably from this award and would, in turn, become the next generation of imaginative, independent, and sophisticated investigators focused on the diseases of major importance to infants and children throughout their lifetimes. Our aims are: to identify and match the most talented and committed future pediatric faculty with the very best scientific mentorship and research environments on this campus, and thereby provide our Scholars with the requisite tools and needed foundation to become productive and creative scientists; to provide time, structure, financial support and minimal distraction to help encourage them to pursue novel and imaginative strategies to address the most important and perplexing medical problems; and to nurture these Scholars in order to foster and reinforce the excitement, fortitude, and peer interactions that are essential for a durable career. We have organized this Career Development Program with an overarching theme, Antecedents & Sequelae of Childhood Onset Diseases, with 7 thematic components. The biologic and pathophysiologic processes under study within these themes are of paramount importance to pediatrics, they capitalize on existing strengths at UTSW and very well established research and training collaborations existing between mentors in the Department of Pediatrics and the basic science faculty on our campus, and they represent areas of the highest priority in the newest strategic plan forged by the Dean's Advisory Committee at the school.
