DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): There is a profound need for newly trained physician/scientists to enter academic careers in Neonatology. The Division of Neonatology at Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital has, for several decades, trained fellowship graduates to assume national and international leadership roles in Neonatology. We are proud of our accomplishments in the initial funding cycle of this T32 which include placement of all five T32 fellows in academic faculty careers, and a marked increase in the pool of TGE applicants. In this proposal we will enable trainees to address a broad spectrum of neonatal morbidities by focusing on our existing scientific strengths in respiratory neurobiology, brain development, and neurodevelopmental outcome and inflammation. We have an accomplished M.D. and Ph.D. mentoring faculty with scientific expertise in these three thematic areas, encompassing both basic translational and patient oriented research. We will recruit trainees to a two-year intensive research immersion under the mentorship of established investigators within one of these thematic areas. A mentorship committee may include "near peer" junior faculty preceptors to serve as trainee role models in addition to senior faculty mentors. As the primary mentor experience of the trainee is critical for success, we have chosen mentoring faculty with a strong track record for physician/scientist training, and will provide close monitoring of the trainee/mentorship relationship. Trainees will be exposed to a well-structured didactic program to provide all the necessary skills for academic career development. Optional curricular activities will be designed for the chosen field of basic science or epidemiologic research [e.g., award of a Master's of Science degree in Clinical Research]. Oversight will occur via both stringent Internal Steering Committee review and an External Review Committee of highly regarded academic leaders in Neonatology. New strategies have been initiated to recruit minority and otherwise disadvantaged candidates to ensure a diversity of trainees committed to a successful transition from fellowship to basic translational or patient-oriented research focused on improving neonatal health. In summary, we are poised to build upon the success of our prior T32 funding cycle by incorporating new experienced investigators into the existing pool of mentors, all of whom are focused on neurorespiratory maturation and inflammatory pathways that contribute to resultant morbidities.

描述（由申请人提供）：有一个新培训的医生/科学家进入新生儿医学学术生涯的深刻需求。Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital的新生儿科几十年来一直在培训奖学金毕业生，以承担新生儿科的国家和国际领导角色。我们为我们在T32的初始资助周期中取得的成就感到自豪，其中包括将所有五名T32研究员安置在学术教师职业中，以及TGE申请人的数量显着增加。在这项提案中，我们将使学员能够通过专注于我们在呼吸神经生物学，大脑发育，神经发育结果和炎症方面的现有科学优势来解决广泛的新生儿发病率。我们有一个有成就的医学博士。和博士指导教师在这三个主题领域的科学专业知识，包括基本的翻译和病人为导向的研究。我们将招募学员参加为期两年的强化培训 在这些主题领域之一的既定调查人员的指导下进行研究沉浸。导师委员会可能包括“近同行”初级教师导师，作为实习生的榜样，除了高级教师导师。由于受训者的主要导师经验对成功至关重要，我们选择了在医生/科学家培训方面有良好记录的导师队伍，并将密切监测受训者/导师关系。学员将接触到一个结构良好的教学计划，以提供学术职业发展所需的所有技能。选修课程活动 将被设计用于基础科学或流行病学研究的选定领域[例如，授予临床研究理学硕士学位]。监督将通过严格的内部指导委员会审查和高度重视的新生儿学术领导人的外部审查委员会进行。已开始实施新的战略，征聘少数民族和其他处境不利的候选人，以确保学员的多样性，致力于从研究金成功过渡到以改善新生儿健康为重点的基本转化或面向病人的研究。总之，我们准备在我们之前的T32资助周期的成功基础上，将新的经验丰富的研究人员纳入现有的导师库，他们都专注于神经呼吸系统成熟和炎症通路，导致发病率。
