Multidisciplinary Neonatal Training Grant

描述（由申请人提供）：此应用程序要求支持2个医生培训职位的第二和第三年的神经病学研究员，这将使他们能够发展所需的知识，理解和技能，追求独立的研究事业在学术神经病学。两个学术研究路径将提供给学员，每个轨道将与包含所需课程工作的特定课程相关联：轨道I：基础研究，医生-科学家-（实验室研究导师和研究生基础科学研究）;和轨道II：临床研究，医生-科学家（以患者为导向的转化研究），包括硕士课程。该计划有两个研究轨道，位于新生儿科和Jean &乔治布鲁姆利，小。新生儿研究所。该司的教师包括6名临床研究医生-科学家（3名是硕士培训）; 2名基础研究医生-科学家;和7名专注于基础科学研究的博士。NPRI包括128名研究人员，其中75%由NIH资助，并利用杜克大学的学术实力和深度，以支持发育生物学，临床科学和医疗保健研究的正式培训。NPRI内部的外部资助研究目前支持4个广泛的研究领域：1）早期心颅面发育; 2）新生儿肺发育/修复; 3）发育神经和干细胞生物学;以及胎儿和新生儿的神经损伤和修复;和4）与NICHD新生儿研究网络，杜克临床研究所，普拉特工程学院和基因组科学与政策研究所。所要求的资金将提供关键的支持，研究年的神经病学奖学金，目前培训8名研究员在杜克大学医学中心。独特的研究培训计划及其单独的轨道将提供一个严格的结构化的学习经验，适合个人的需求和兴趣，每个研究员与资深科学家作为导师工作。该计划的5名T-32实习生毕业生中，所有人都是学术机构的教师（3人在杜克，1人在UT休斯顿，1人在UC欧文）。三个已经完成了硕士课程，两个已经收到联邦资金（K23和AHRQ）。 公共卫生相关性：此应用程序将支持2个培训职位的神经病学研究员，让他们有时间发展的知识，理解和技能，追求学术神经病学的独立研究生涯。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests support for 2 physician training positions for 2nd and 3rd year neonatology fellows, which will allow them to develop the knowledge, understanding and skills needed to pursue independent research careers in academic neonatology. Two academic research paths will be available to trainees, and each track will be associated with a specific curriculum containing required course work: Track I: Basic Research, Physician-Scientist - (laboratory research mentorship and graduate basic science studies); and Track II: Clinical Research, Physician-Scientist (patient-oriented translational research) including Masters programs. This program with its two research tracks resides within the Division of Neonatology and the Jean & George Brumley, Jr. Neonatal-Research Institute. The Division faculty includes 6 clinical research physician-scientists (3 are Masters trained); 2 basic research physician-scientists; and 7 PhD focused on basic science research. The NPRI includes 128 investigators, 75% of whom are NIH funded, and draws upon the academic strength and depth found across Duke University needed to support formal training in developmental biology, clinical sciences and health care research. Extramurally funded research within the NPRI currently supports 4 broad areas of investigation: 1) early cardiocraniofacial development; 2) neonatal lung development/repair; 3) developmental neural and stem cell biology; and neural injury and repair in the fetus and neonate; and 4) translational clinical neonatal research in conjunction with the NICHD Neonatal Research Network, the Duke Clinical Research Institute, the Pratt School of Engineering, and Institute for Genome Science and Policy. The requested funds will provide critical support for the research years of the neonatology fellowship, which currently trains 8 fellows at Duke University Medical Center. The unique research training program with its separate Tracks will provide a rigorous structured learning experience tailored to the needs and interests of the individual fellow, each fellow working with a senior scientist serving as mentor. Of the 5 T-32 trainee graduates of this program, all are faculty at academic institutions (3 at Duke, 1 at UT-Houston, and 1 at UC-Irvine). Three have completed a Masters program and two have received federal funding (K23 and AHRQ). PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This application will support 2 training positions for neonatology fellows, allowing them time to develop the knowledge, understanding and skills to pursue independent research careers in academic neonatology.
