DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this Neuroscience Academic Development Award (NSADA, K12) renewal application is to continue to train pediatric neurologists who have completed their clinical training to be translational neuroscientists who will become leaders in academic Pediatric Neurology and make groundbreaking discoveries that can be used in clinical practice. The combined Hopkins child neurology training programs located at The Johns Hopkins Hospital (JHH) and The Kennedy Krieger Institute (KKI) are well suited to provide integrated clinical and research training. Strengths of this application include excellent clinical training programs in pediatric neurology and neurodevelopment disabilities at JHH and KKI, strong academic resources for basic and clinical research, an exceptional concentration of research infrastructure focused on neurological disorders of children, and a senior faculty with an established record of successfully training young investigators. In this proposal, formal training in research will begin after three years of clinical child neurology training. The faculty for this NSADA program are clinical/basic science researchers who are established, well-funded, and have been chosen because of their enthusiasm and experience as educators. In addition to clinical and/or laboratory based research, trainees will take courses in biostatistics, experimental design, clinical trials management, epidemiology and responsible conduct of research at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Hygiene and Public Health or the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. With the guidance of the program Director and Co- Director Trainees can choose from several fields in neuroscience relevant to pediatric neurology including neurogenetics, neurodevelopment disabilities, epilepsy, neuromuscular disorders, demyelinating disorders, magnetic resonance neuroimaging, spinal cord injury, regenerative medicine and basic neuroscience. Candidates will be chosen from pediatric neurologists completing their training in either pediatric neurology or neurodevelopment disabilities at JHH or KKI, or from outstanding candidates from other institutions across the United States. It is anticipated that during the 5 year award period, a total of 4 appointments will be made. Our record for recruiting minorities to our clinical training program is excellent. This program will provide the field of pediatric neurology with academic physicians well trained in basic and clinical research. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This project will train clinical pediatric neurologists early in their careers to learn how to conduct research that will discover new therapies for pediatric disorders of the nervous system. Emerging basic science research is uncovering mechanisms for these disorders, but clinicians with research expertise are required to translate these discoveries into effective cures.

描述(由申请人提供)：本次神经科学学术发展奖(NSADA，K12)续展申请的目标是继续培养完成临床培训的儿科神经学家成为转化型神经学家，他们将成为学术儿科神经病学的领导者，并做出可用于临床实践的开创性发现。位于约翰·霍普金斯医院(JHH)和肯尼迪·克里格研究所(KKI)的霍普金斯儿童神经学综合培训项目非常适合提供综合的临床和研究培训。这一应用的优势包括JHH和KKI在儿科神经学和神经发育障碍方面的出色临床培训计划，基础和临床研究的强大学术资源，专注于儿童神经疾病的研究基础设施的非凡集中，以及成功培训年轻研究人员的资深教员。在这项提案中，正式的研究培训将在三年的临床儿童神经学培训之后开始。这个NSADA项目的教师是临床/基础科学研究人员，他们是有地位的、资金充足的，因为他们作为教育工作者的热情和经验而被选中。除了以临床和/或实验室为基础的研究外，受训人员还将在约翰霍普金斯大学布隆伯格卫生与公共卫生学院或约翰霍普金斯医学院学习生物统计学、实验设计、临床试验管理、流行病学和负责任的研究指导方面的课程。在项目主任和副主任的指导下，学员可以选择与儿科神经学相关的神经科学领域，包括神经遗传学、神经发育障碍、癫痫、神经肌肉疾病、脱髓鞘疾病、磁共振神经成像、脊髓损伤、再生医学和基础神经科学。候选人将从在JHH或KKI完成儿科神经学或神经发育障碍培训的儿科神经科医生中挑选，或从美国其他机构的优秀候选人中挑选。预计在5年授权期内，总共将作出4项任命。我们在招募少数族裔参加我们的临床培训计划方面的记录非常好。该计划将为儿科神经病学领域提供训练有素的基础和临床研究的学术医生。 与公共卫生相关：该项目将在儿科临床神经学家的职业生涯早期培训他们，以学习如何进行研究，发现治疗儿科神经系统疾病的新疗法。新兴的基础科学研究正在揭示这些疾病的机制，但需要拥有研究专业知识的临床医生将这些发现转化为有效的治疗方法。
