DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Research benefitting the health of children requires training new generations of pediatric physician-scientists who are prepared for independent careers in basic biomedical research. A new collaborative research enterprise between Emory University and Children's Healthcare of Atlanta is poised to meet this need. The Emory-Children's Pediatric Research Center has already generated tremendous community enthusiasm, resources, facilities, and new discoveries. We propose a Child Health Research Career Development Program entitled the Atlanta Pediatric Scholars Program. Strengths and resources from partner institutions, combined with a critical mass of investigators working in a number of child health-related disciplines within the Emory Department of Pediatrics, create an ideal training environment for basic research career training. The infrastructure to support this program has been put in place over the past several years, and a robust research strategic plan is in place to continue recruitment and expansion of our research enterprise. A formal curriculum has been designed featuring didactic training and careful attention to mentoring, with the overarching goal of producing outstanding, independent physician-scientists attacking fundamental problems in pediatrics/child health. Training of physician-scientists from minority and underprivileged backgrounds is a particular focus of this program, and will be facilitated by existing strengths and partnerships in Atlanta. The program will include a rigorous system for tracking and assessing progress. The Atlanta Pediatric Scholars Program is an important component of a growing academic enterprise in Atlanta focusing on child health, and is poised to provide outstanding career development of new leaders in child health-related research. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The Atlanta Pediatric Scholars Program will train physician-scientists in fundamental research on child-health related problems. This career development program is collaboration between Emory University and Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. The program seeks to train outstanding, independent physician-scientists who will form the next generations of leaders in pediatric research.

描述（由申请人提供）：有益于儿童健康的研究需要培训新一代儿科医师科学家，为基础生物医学研究的独立职业做好准备。埃默里大学和亚特兰大儿童保健中心之间的一个新的合作研究企业已准备好满足这一需求。埃默里儿童儿科研究中心已经产生了巨大的社区热情、资源、设施和新发现。我们提出了一项名为“亚特兰大儿科学者计划”的儿童健康研究职业发展计划。合作机构的优势和资源，加上埃默里儿科系内许多儿童健康相关学科的大量研究人员，为基础研究职业培训创造了理想的培训环境。支持该计划的基础设施在过去几年中已经到位，并且制定了强有力的研究战略计划以继续招募和扩大我们的研究企业。正式的课程设计以教学培训和认真关注指导为特色，总体目标是培养杰出的、独立的医师科学家来解决儿科/儿童健康的基本问题。对来自少数族裔和贫困背景的医师科学家的培训是该计划的一个特别重点，并将通过亚特兰大现有的优势和合作伙伴关系来促进。该计划将包括一个严格的跟踪和评估进展的系统。亚特兰大儿科学者计划是亚特兰大不断发展的专注于儿童健康的学术企业的重要组成部分，并准备为儿童健康相关研究的新领导者提供出色的职业发展。 公共卫生相关性：亚特兰大儿科学者计划将培训医师科学家进行儿童健康相关问题的基础研究。该职业发展计划是埃默里大学和亚特兰大儿童医疗保健中心之间的合作。该项目旨在培养杰出的、独立的医师科学家，他们将成为儿科研究的下一代领导者。
