Childrens Hospital Los Angeles Child Health Research Development Award

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请请求继续资助洛杉矶儿童医院/南加州大学凯克医学院儿科儿科的儿童健康研究职业发展奖（CHRCDA）中心。我们项目的目标是通过为初级儿科医生提供2至3年75%的保障时间来培养下一代儿科医师科学家，以进行全面和个性化的基础研究教育，指导实验室培训和职业发展支持。CHRCDA学者将从内部培训项目和全国范围内招聘的候选人中精心挑选。继续集中努力吸引妇女和代表性不足的少数民族申请人将是招聘的优先事项。每年申请资助3名学者。儿科主席作为主要研究者，两名联合培训主任，一名招聘官员，以及内部和外部咨询委员会将监督我们的CHRCDA。学者将在资深教师指导团队的指导下进行批准的研究，他们都有广泛的研究成果历史，专注于基础和转化儿科问题，有良好的校外资助记录，包括目前的NIH资助，并在指导研究学员方面取得了成功。每个K12学者的一个有凝聚力的研究职业发展计划是我们CHRCDA的基石，每个计划将有三个组成部分。第一部分是广泛的基于实验室的研究指导经验，旨在优化K12学者和他/她的导师团队之间的基础和转化研究互动。第二部分包括一系列互动学术生涯研讨会、演讲和研讨会，为每位学者提供成功学术生涯所需的信息和指导。第三个培训部分是正式的研究教育课程，根据每位学者独特而具体的研究目标、需求和兴趣定制。该部分的目标是为学者提供成功开展创新研究所需的方法，技术和生物信息学方面的知识。该计划还为独立和合作的多学科研究创造机会，并强调研究解释，拨款申请准备，科学出版和研究报告的技能。内部和外部咨询委员会将密切监测和评估所有学者的培训和生产力。持续的CHRCDA资金将允许儿科部门建立在我们已经建立的记录上，严格准备初级教师儿科科学家的职业生涯作为成功和独立的内科科学家。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests continued funding for a Child Health Research Career Development Award (CHRCDA) center within the Department of Pediatrics at Children's Hospital Los Angeles/Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California. The objective of our program is to develop the next generation of pediatric physician scientists by providing junior faculty pediatricians with 2 to 3 years of guaranteed 75% protected time for comprehensive and individualized basic research education, mentored laboratory training, and career development support. CHRCDA Scholars will be carefully selected from a pool of candidates recruited from internal training programs and national searches. Focused efforts to continue to attract women and underrepresented minority applicants will be a recruitment priority. Funds to support 3 Scholars per year are requested. The Chair of Pediatrics as principal investigator, two co-training directors, a recruitment officer, and Internal and External Advisory Committees will oversee our CHRCDA. Scholars will conduct approved research under the guidance of senior faculty mentoring teams, all of whom have an extensive history of research achievements focusing on basic and translational pediatric problems, an excellent record of extramural funding including current NIH grants, and documented success in mentoring research trainees. A cohesive research career development plan for each K12 Scholar is the cornerstone of our CHRCDA and each plan will have three components. The first component is an extensive laboratory based research mentoring experience designed to optimize basic and translational research interactions between the K12 Scholar and his/her mentor team. The second component consists of a series of interactive academic career workshops, presentations and seminars to provide each Scholar with information and guidance required for a successful academic career. The third training component is a formal research education curriculum customized to the unique and specific research goals, needs and interests of each Scholar. The goal of this component is to provide Scholars with the knowledge in methodologies, technologies, and bioinformatics needed for the successful conduct of innovative research. The program also creates opportunities for independent and collaborative multidisciplinary research and emphasizes skills in research interpretation, grant proposal preparation, scientific publication, and research presentation. The training and productivity of al Scholars will be closely monitored and evaluated by the Internal and External Advisory Committees. Continued CHRCDA funding will allow the Department of Pediatrics to build upon our established track record of rigorously preparing junior faculty pediatric scientists for career as successful and independent physician scientists.
