项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): As a major part of the overall goal to improve the health of children, the Department of Pediatrics of the University of Alabama School of Medicine (UASOM) has proposed a comprehensive plan for the mentored training of outstanding young pediatric physician scientists in translational biomedical research. This training program will be implemented through the Child Health Research Center (CHRC) and will take optimal advantage of the existing integrated basic and translational research capacity of the UASOM. The CHRC will focus its training in four key areas of research in child health: (1) infectious diseases and immunology, (2) diseases associated with lung injury, (3) neurodevelopmental diseases, and (4) genetic diseases. These areas have been selected because of their importance in child health and because the resources available within the UASOM will foster an outstanding mentored training experience in these areas of biomedical research. The proposed CHRC will build on our previous success in the training of pediatric physician scientists by refining the organization of our training program, including implementation of formal curriculum in translational research. In addition, the CHRC has incorporated a series of internal and external mechanisms of evaluation to insure all facets of the CHRC, extending from the leadership to the CHRC scholar, meet the objectives of the projected training program. Our overall goal is to institute and maintain an optimized mentored training program for the development of pediatric physician scientists who will be expected to transition into academic careers as independent investigators in translational biomedical research in child health. The significance to public health derives from the relevance of the four key areas of research to child health. In addition, we anticipate that well-trained pediatric physician scientists will have long, productive academic careers with many opportunities to disseminate scientific information and impact the future generations of pediatricians.

描述（由申请人提供）：作为提高儿童健康水平这一总体目标的重要组成部分，美国阿拉巴马大学医学院（UASOM）儿科学系提出了一项全面的计划，在转化生物医学研究方面指导培养优秀的年轻儿科内科科学家。该培训计划将通过儿童健康研究中心（CHRC）实施，并将充分利用usasom现有的综合基础和转化研究能力。CHRC将把培训重点放在儿童健康研究的四个关键领域：(1)传染病和免疫学，(2)与肺损伤相关的疾病，(3)神经发育疾病，(4)遗传疾病。选择这些领域是因为它们对儿童健康的重要性，也因为usasom的现有资源将在这些生物医学研究领域培养出色的指导培训经验。拟议的CHRC将建立在我们以前成功培训儿科医师科学家的基础上，通过完善我们的培训计划组织，包括在转化研究中实施正式课程。此外，CHRC还整合了一系列内部和外部的评估机制，以确保CHRC的各个方面，从领导到CHRC学者，满足计划培训计划的目标。我们的总体目标是建立并维持一个优化的指导培训计划，以培养儿科内科科学家，这些科学家将有望作为儿童健康转化生物医学研究的独立调查员过渡到学术生涯。对公共卫生的重要性源于四个关键研究领域与儿童健康的相关性。此外，我们预计训练有素的儿科医师科学家将有长期的、富有成效的学术生涯，有很多机会传播科学信息并影响未来几代儿科医生。
