DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Clinical Research and Epidemiology in Diabetes and Endocrinology Training Program at Johns Hopkins University is applying for its second competitive renewal after completing 9.5 years of funding. In 2002 Drs. Christopher Saudek and Frederick Brancati established a training program at Johns Hopkins devoted to clinical and epidemiologic research in diabetes and endocrinology. Ten years later, it remains the only one of its kind in the US. Thus far, we have successfully trained 16 young scholars (6 pre-docs and 10 post docs) who have produced 61 peer-reviewed scientific papers and who hold research positions across the country. During the last funding cycle, we trained 3 under-represented minorities (2 on diversity supplements) and 12 women. Our program includes 3 pre-doctoral and 3 post-doctoral slots, all of which were filled during each of the past 5 years. Following Dr. Saudek's untimely death, Dr. Brancati assumed leadership of the training program, together with Dr. Sherita Golden, an endocrinologist cross-trained in epidemiology. This new leadership team, supported by an Executive and Advisory Committee, proposes a third cycle of funding with the following specific aims: (1) to recruit a diverse group of top-notch young trainees in endocrinology (post-docs) and epidemiology (pre-docs) from a national pool of talent attracted to Johns Hopkins; (2) to enroll them in rigorous, thesis-bearing Masters' and PhD programs in Epidemiology and Clinical Investigation in the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health; (3) to expose them to a strong team-oriented, multi-disciplinary clinical and epidemiologic research culture in the Welch Center for Prevention, Epidemiology, and Clinical Research-the premier educational home for clinical research training at Johns Hopkins; (4) to guide each trainee to an experienced, NIH- funded mentor who will take responsibility for the successful completion of a significant thesis project. To accomplish these goals, our program brings together faculty and trainees from the Divisions of Adult and Pediatric Endocrinology and General Internal Medicine (School of Medicine), the Department of Epidemiology (School of Public Health), the Welch Center for Prevention, Epidemiology, and Clinical Research, and the School of Nursing. Sixteen mentors will serve as primary faculty and were selected for their expertise, excellence in mentoring, and active NIH funding. New mentors have been added with expertise in clinical trials, health disparities, behavioral science, and community-based interventions. If our proposal is successful, then Johns Hopkins will continue to play a major national role in training the next generation of patient- and population-oriented researchers in diabetes and endocrinology.

描述(由申请人提供)：约翰霍普金斯大学糖尿病和内分泌学临床研究和流行病学培训项目在完成9.5年的资助后，正在申请第二次竞争续签。2002年，Christopher Saudek博士和Frederick Brancati博士在约翰霍普金斯大学设立了一个培训项目，致力于糖尿病和内分泌学的临床和流行病学研究。10年后，它仍然是美国唯一一家这样的公司。到目前为止，我们已经成功地培训了16名年轻学者(6名博士后和10名博士后)，他们发表了61篇同行评议的科学论文，并在全国各地担任研究职位。在上一个筹资周期中，我们培训了3名代表性不足的少数群体(2名为多样性补充剂)和12名妇女。我们的项目包括3个博士后和3个博士后名额，这些名额都是在过去5年中每年填补的。在索德克博士英年早逝后，布兰卡蒂博士与接受过流行病学交叉培训的内分泌学家谢丽塔·戈尔登博士共同领导了培训项目。这一新的领导团队在执行和咨询委员会的支持下，提出了第三轮资助，具体目标如下：(1)从约翰·霍普金斯大学吸引的全国人才库中招募一批内分泌学(博士后)和流行病学(博士后)的顶尖年轻实习生；(2)招收他们参加约翰·霍普金斯大学彭博公共卫生学院流行病学和临床调查的严格、带论文的硕士和博士课程；(3)让他们接触到韦尔奇预防、流行病学和临床研究中心的强大团队导向、多学科临床和流行病学研究文化，韦尔奇中心是约翰·霍普金斯大学临床研究培训的主要教育机构；(4)指导每个受训者到一位经验丰富的、由NIH资助的导师那里，该导师将负责成功完成一个重要的论文项目。为了实现这些目标，我们的项目汇集了来自成人和儿科内分泌学和普通内科(医学院)、流行病学系(公共卫生学院)、韦尔奇预防、流行病学和临床研究中心以及护理学院的教职员工和学员。16名导师将担任初级教师，他们因其专业知识、卓越的指导能力和积极的NIH资金而被选中。增加了新的导师，他们拥有临床试验、健康差距、行为科学和基于社区的干预方面的专业知识。如果我们的提议成功，那么约翰·霍普金斯大学将继续在培养糖尿病和内分泌学方面的下一代面向患者和人群的研究人员方面发挥重要的国家作用。
