The Center for Pediatric Research (CPR) was organized by networking a motivated group of scientists and physicians dedicated to the development and expansion of translational pediatric research. Common barriers that impede translational research were eliminated by integrating researchers from a number major disciplines in pediatric research, enabling a focus on mentored research training for physician and scientists to be maintained. This team approach to solving clinical research questions has transformed the research and clinical programs at Nemours. Our goal over the next five years is to establish the CPR as a sustainable center that drives translational research at Nemours. Building upon our existing strengths in genetics and neuroscience, we have selected four new investigators for support whose research programs fit Within the expertise of our faculty mentors.. This narrower focus will enable the CPR to establish a critical mass of investigators with overlapping research interests to attract funding and recruit new investigators needed to create a sustainable research center. A priority goal in the next cycle will be attracting additional senior faculty to the CPR to strengthen and expand our the core intellectual infrastructure. The center will be established further by integration into a state-wide network of research centers with a focus on translational research. The aims of this proposal are: 1) To provide the infrastructure to train basic and physician scientists in their quest to become investigators who can procure independent funding for their respective programs; 2) To facilitate the development of a multidisciplinary network of physicians and scientists to collaborate on basic and applied research on pediatric disorders; 3) To develop translational research programs within the NCRR network in the Delaware Valley to enrich the interface between clinical and basic research. The uniqueness of the CPR is that it has been developed specifically to provide a multidisciplinary training program for pediatric research. The long-term goal is to establish the CPR as the key infrastructural center that acts as a catalyst to develop all research programs at Nemours that are dedicated to translating research discoveries into new therapies for the benefit of children in Delaware.

儿科研究中心（CPR）是由一群致力于发展和扩大转化儿科研究的科学家和医生组成的网络组织的。通过整合来自儿科研究多个主要学科的研究人员，消除了阻碍转化研究的常见障碍，使医生和科学家的指导研究培训得以保持。这种解决临床研究问题的团队方法已经改变了Nemours的研究和临床项目。我们未来五年的目标是将CPR建成一个可持续发展的中心，推动内穆尔大学的转化研究。基于我们在遗传学和神经科学方面的现有优势，我们选择了四位新的研究人员来支持他们的研究项目，他们的研究项目符合我们教师导师的专业知识。这种狭隘的关注将使CPR能够建立一个具有重叠研究兴趣的研究人员的临界质量，以吸引资金并招募创建可持续研究中心所需的新研究人员。下一个周期的优先目标将是吸引更多的高级教师到CPR来加强和扩展我们的核心知识基础设施。该中心将通过整合到一个专注于转化研究的全州研究中心网络中来进一步建立。该提案的目的是：1)提供基础设施，培训基础科学家和内科科学家，使他们成为能够为各自项目获得独立资金的研究人员；2)促进医生和科学家在儿科疾病的基础和应用研究方面合作的多学科网络的发展；3)在特拉华河谷的NCRR网络内发展转化研究项目，丰富临床和基础研究之间的界面。心肺复苏术的独特之处在于它是专门为儿科研究提供多学科培训计划而开发的。长期目标是将CPR建立为关键的基础设施中心，作为催化剂，促进Nemours所有研究项目的发展，致力于将研究发现转化为新的治疗方法，造福特拉华州的儿童。
