Postdoc Stipend Supplement: Developmental Origins of Metabolic Disorders T32

 描述(由申请者提供)：密歇根大学的博士后儿科内分泌学和糖尿病培训计划旨在招募和提供两个主要方向之一的高质量研究培训，即基础科学或临床调查和流行病学。现在已经是第9个年头了，该计划的主题是葡萄糖代谢紊乱的发展规划。该计划是为了补充已建立的临床儿科内分泌学培训计划，为医学博士和寻求内分泌研究职业生涯的基础科学家提供2年的强化博士后培训，使用为每个受训者单独设计的密切指导的研究培训计划。该项目得到了来自密歇根大学7个系的11名教师的积极支持，他们都在各自的专业领域拥有广泛的研究和指导经验。该计划还包括针对每个受训人员的教育背景和研究兴趣而量身定做的广泛的教学内容。基础科学专业的学员完成为期3个月的课程，旨在让他们接触到各种最先进的技术，以及执行假设驱动的对照研究的技能。临床调查和流行病学实习生在结果和流行病学或临床研究之间做出选择。他们完成的课程要么是生物统计学和流行病学的公共卫生硕士学位，要么是临床研究设计和统计分析的理学硕士学位。除正规课程外，受训者每周参加临床和研究研讨会；接受指导，准备和提供口头陈述；研究的道德行为，并可以选择公共政策或创业方面的短期证书指导课程。指导研究得到了医学院资源的支持，包括综合糖尿病研究中心、营养性肥胖研究中心、器官发生中心、人类生长和发育中心、综合代谢中心、分子和行为神经科学研究所以及密歇根临床和健康研究所。为了优化每个学员发展成功学术生涯的潜力，学员被要求向全国会议提交摘要，提交一份第一作者的研究手稿，并申请个人拨款。我们计划的扩展将有助于缓解成功的儿科内分泌学家和儿科内科科学家的严重短缺。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The postdoctoral Pediatric Endocrinology and Diabetes Training Program at the University of Michigan is designed to recruit and provide high quality research training in one of two major tracks, Basic Science or Clinical Investigation & Epidemiology to qualified candidates. Now on its 9th year, the theme of the Program is developmental programming of disorders of glucose metabolism. The program is organized to complement the established training program in clinical pediatric endocrinology for M.D.s, and for basic scientist pursuing a career in endocrine research, by providing 2 years of intensive postdoctoral training using closely-mentored research training program individually structured for each trainee. The program is actively supported by 11 faculty from 7 UM Departments, all with extensive research and mentoring experience within their respective areas of expertise. The Program also includes an extensive didactic component tailored to each trainee's educational background and research interests. Trainees in the Basic Sciences complete a 3-month course designed to expose them to a variety of state-of-the-art techniques, as well as to skills in performing hypothesis-driven, controlled research studies. Trainees in Clinical Investigation & Epidemiology choose between Outcomes & Epidemiology or Clinical Research. They complete courses leading to either a Master of Public Health in Biostatistics & Epidemiology or a Master of Science in Clinical Research Design & Statistical Analysis. In addition to the formal curriculum, trainees attend weekly clinical and research seminars; receive instruction preparing and delivering oral presentations; ethical conduct of research and can choose short certificate leading courses in public policy, or entrepreneurship. Mentored research is supported the Medical School resources including the Centers of Comprehensive Diabetes Research, Nutrition Obesity Research, Organogenesis, Human Growth and Development, Comprehensive Metabolomic Center, Molecular & Behavioral Neuroscience Institute and the Michigan Institute for Clinical and Health Research. To optimize each trainee's potential for development of a successful academic career, trainees are required to submit abstracts to national meetings, submit a first-authored research manuscript, and apply for individual grant funding. Expansion of our Program will help alleviate the critical shortage of successful Pediatric Endocrinologists and Pediatric Physician-Scientists.
