DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The primary objective of this T32 renewal proposal is to continue the University of Minnesota (UM) Pediatric Endocrinology Program's tradition of guiding pediatric endocrinology fellows into academic careers, by providing intensive training in basic, translational or patient-oriented science. Our secondary objective is to provide an environment that will facilitate the successful advancement of women into academic careers. The program has been highly successful in achieving its goals. From its inception in 2004 through the summer of 2013, we will have graduated 7 fellows from the 3 year training program, all of whom are women and 6 of whom have gone on to University faculty appointments. One is an Associate Professor and two others are expected to achieve this rank within the next couple years. One is our current 3rd year fellow, who will be joining our faculty after she finishes training this summer. Our current 1st and 2nd year fellows, both women interested in academic careers, will continue in the program, and exceptional new fellows have been chosen for 2013 and 2014. Fellows are selected based on a demonstrated desire to pursue research training. They may follow either a clinical/translational or a basic science path, and those who choose the former obtain a Masters in Clinical Research degree to formally and rigorously prepare them for a scholarly career. We work closely with incoming fellows to join their research interests with available opportunities and experienced mentors who can support their training and provide guidance for advancement to the next phase of their academic careers. The core group of senior faculty mentors are well established investigators, selected for their ability to impart a culture of responsible, rigorous, and robust science, as is the tradition of the UM. Numerous and varied research opportunities are available. The program has particular research strengths in the critical public health domains of diabetes, obesity, and metabolism. Members of the Division of Pediatric Endocrinology enjoy a strong tradition of scientific collaboration with other division within the Department of Pediatrics, other departments within the UM, and other institutions including the Mayo Clinic and the International Diabetes Center. This provides fellows with a rich environment for scientific collaboration. The program trains physician scientists in the spectrum of skills necessary to be well-grounded in the fundamental underpinnings of their research area by the completion of fellowship so they are ready to enter a junior faculty academic research position.

描述（由申请人提供）：本T32更新提案的主要目标是通过提供基础，转化或以患者为导向的科学强化培训，继续明尼苏达大学（UM）儿科内分泌学项目指导儿科内分泌学研究员进入学术生涯的传统。我们的第二个目标是提供一个环境，以促进妇女在学术事业上的成功发展。该计划在实现其目标方面非常成功。从2004年开始到2013年夏天，我们将有7名研究员从这个为期3年的培训项目中毕业，他们都是女性，其中6人已经被任命为大学教员。其中一名是副教授，另外两名预计在未来几年内达到这一级别。一个是我们现在的三年级研究员，她将在今年夏天结束培训后加入我们的教职员工。我们现在的一年级和二年级的研究员，都是对学术事业感兴趣的女性，将继续参加这个项目，并且在2013年和2014年选出了特别的新研究员。研究员的选择是基于对研究训练的渴望。他们可以选择临床/转化或基础科学道路，选择前者的人可以获得临床研究硕士学位，为他们的学术生涯做正式而严格的准备。我们与即将到来的研究员密切合作，为他们的研究兴趣提供可用的机会和经验丰富的导师，他们可以支持他们的培训，并为他们的学术生涯的下一阶段的发展提供指导。高级教师导师的核心小组是久经考验的研究人员，他们被选中的原因是他们有能力传授负责任、严谨和稳健的科学文化，这是澳大的传统。有许多不同的研究机会。该项目在糖尿病、肥胖和新陈代谢等关键公共卫生领域具有特殊的研究优势。儿科内分泌科的成员与小儿科的其他部门、密歇根大学的其他部门以及包括梅奥诊所和国际糖尿病中心在内的其他机构有着强大的科学合作传统。这为研究员提供了一个丰富的科学合作环境。该计划通过完成奖学金，培训医师科学家在其研究领域的基础基础上建立必要的技能，以便他们准备进入初级教师学术研究职位。
