DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Pediatric Endocrinology Research Training Program at the University of Chicago will train pediatric physician-scientist leaders in the investigation of endocrine diseases. This training program will help fill the national shortage of physician-scientists in the area of pediatric endocrinology. Two research training slots are requested in this competitive renewal application so that two trainees can be entered annually into a two-year research training program. Thus, this program is for trainees who have had introductory laboratory and course work in their initial year of pediatric endocrinology training and have developed a research project to which they are prepared to dedicate 80% effort for the two-year training period. The training is based in a combined Pediatric-Adult Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism unit, the Institute for Endocrine Discovery and Clinical Care which is now 6 years old. We are unique in the country with a fully integrated section that is a major training institution of dual boarded physician scientists in pediatric and adult endocrinology. The Senior Training Faculty numbers 15 investigators from four University departments (Medicine, Pediatrics, Human Genetics, Health Studies) who carry out a broad range of endocrine-related clinical and basic research supported by a substantial base of NIH and other peer-reviewed research grants including 27 R-awards, 2 K- awards, 5 P-awards and 6 U-awards. Each is an established investigator. In addition, the program is aided by the participation of 10 Associate Training Faculty and 5 additional resource training faculty from the Departments of Medicine, Pediatrics, Ob/Gyn and Health Studies. The University provides a rich environment of other faculty and physical resources. Trainees are selected on the basis of prior individual accomplishments including prior research training and experience as well as commitment to an academic research career. Trainees select a basic and clinical research mentor and an advisor, and the trainee and mentors jointly identify a primary and secondary research project. Trainees then undergo at least 3 years of training in the research laboratory of the preceptor(s), during which time they assume a progressively greater responsibility for developing research hypotheses, designing experiments, analyzing the data and preparing abstracts and scientific manuscripts. This research training occurs within the framework of a required core curriculum consisting of courses that describe and review current research methodology and research advances as well as statistical analysis of research data. The setting is one that emphasizes translational research and timely monitoring of trainee progress.

描述（由申请人提供）：在芝加哥大学的儿科内分泌学研究培训计划将培训儿科医生，科学家领导人在调查内分泌疾病。该培训计划将有助于填补全国儿科内分泌学领域医生科学家的短缺。在这个竞争性的更新应用程序中需要两个研究培训名额，以便每年有两名学员可以进入为期两年的研究培训计划。因此，该计划适用于在儿科内分泌学培训的第一年进行了介绍性实验室和课程工作的学员，并开发了一个研究项目，他们准备在两年的培训期间投入80%的精力。该培训是基于一个联合儿科成人内分泌学，糖尿病和代谢单位，内分泌发现和临床护理研究所，现在是6岁。我们在全国独一无二，拥有一个完全整合的部门，是儿科和成人内分泌学双板医生科学家的主要培训机构。的 高级培训学院有来自四个大学部门（医学，儿科学，人类遗传学，健康研究）的15名研究人员，他们开展了广泛的内分泌相关临床和基础研究，并得到了NIH和其他同行评审研究资助的大量支持，包括27个R奖，2个K奖，5个P奖和6个U奖。每个人都是一个既定的调查员。此外，该计划还得到了来自医学，儿科，妇产科和健康研究部门的10名副培训教师和5名额外资源培训教师的参与。大学提供了其他教师和物理资源的丰富环境。受训人员的选择是基于先前的个人成就，包括先前的研究培训和经验，以及对学术研究生涯的承诺。受训者选择一名基础和临床研究导师和一名顾问，受训者和导师共同确定一个主要和次要的研究项目。然后，受训者在导师的研究实验室接受至少3年的培训，在此期间，他们承担了越来越大的责任，发展研究假设，设计实验，分析数据，准备摘要和科学手稿。这种研究培训发生在所需的核心课程的框架内，包括描述和审查当前研究方法和研究进展以及研究数据的统计分析的课程。该设置是一个强调转化研究和及时监测学员的进展。
