Pediatric Global Health Subspecialty Fellowship

项目摘要/摘要 为了以最佳方式支持全球儿童健康和发展，研究的设计需要考虑到 世界范围内发生的疾病负担和儿童死亡率的规模。强有力的全球儿科健康研究 战略依赖于新的研究人员，他们拥有将基础科学转化为 人口健康和健康。尽管美国在生物医学研究方面处于世界领先地位，但39家美国国立卫生研究院 资助的全球卫生机构培训赠款仅侧重于改善#年儿童的健康。 低收入和中等收入国家，没有一个来自NICHD。普通儿科全球卫生研究金限额 临床医生科学家的职业机会，进一步限制研究人员进入高收入的卫生系统。 我们将利用斯坦福大学现有的重要教学和研究资源 培养下一代儿科专科全球卫生研究人员。我们提出了一种双重的 研究金培训方法，将包括受训人员的儿科专科以及 将重点放在全球卫生方法的专科研究上。资源，例如位于同一地点的七个 组成斯坦福大学教学和研究的学校，以及周围的硅谷 山谷，提供独特的创业和技术创新环境，将成为 跨学科环境，以建立一个跨学科的研究计划，解决低收入儿童的需求 和中等收入国家。项目PI已经指导T32项目十多年了，是 医学院负责学院发展和多样性的高级副院长，因此处于有利地位 为学员提供丰富的指导和领导资源。斯坦福大学有一群高度 经验丰富、资金雄厚的全球儿童健康研究人员，拥有丰富的导师和临床经验 拥有在低收入和中等收入国家工作的经验。最后，该提案包括 一个独特的儿科专科全球健康课程，与现有的严谨课程相结合 以及流行病学硕士课程，为拟议的培训计划提供基础。 每年将挑选两名斯坦福大学儿科专科研究员，从他们的第二年开始 训练。学员将：(1)完成流行病学和临床研究的理学硕士学位；(2)获得 由分专业和全球儿童健康研究人员提供结构化的双重指导；(3)设计和完成 假设驱动的研究项目；(4)参加互动研究工作组；以及(5)参与 儿科非常成功的拨款申请计划。这一综合计划将培养一名 新一代儿科专科全球卫生科学家准备推进研究议程 在NICHD科学远景中概述的。

PROJECT SUMMARY / ABSTRACT To optimally support global child health and development, research needs to be designed to account for the scale of disease burden and child mortality that occurs worldwide. A robust global pediatric health research strategy depends upon new investigators with the technical expertise required to translate basic science to population health and wellness. Although the US leads the world in biomedical research, none of the 39 NIH funded global health institutional training grants are focused solely on improving health for children in low- and middle-income countries, and none are from NICHD. General pediatric global health fellowships limit career opportunities for clinician scientists, further restricting researchers to high income health systems. We will capitalize on the significant teaching and research resources that exist across Stanford University to develop the next generation of pediatric subspecialty global health researchers. We propose a dual fellowship training approach which will encompass both the trainee’s pediatric subspecialty as well as a focus on global health approaches to subspecialty research. Resources such as the co-located seven schools which make up teaching and research at Stanford University, as well as the surrounding Silicon Valley, offers a unique entrepreneurial and technologically innovative environment, will serve as the hub of an interdisciplinary environment to build a cross-cutting research program addressing the needs of children in low- and middle-income countries. The program PI has directed T32 programs for over a decade and is the School of Medicine Senior Associate Dean for Faculty Development and Diversity, so is well-positioned to provide substantial mentorship and leadership resources for the trainees. Stanford has a group of highly experienced and well-funded global child health researchers with substantial mentorship and clinical experience who work across the spectrum of low- and middle-income countries. Finally, the proposal includes a unique pediatric subspecialty global health curriculum that integrates with existing rigorous coursework and a Master’s in Epidemiology program to provide the foundation for the proposed training program. Two Stanford pediatric subspecialty fellows will be selected per year, beginning in their second year of training. Trainees will: (1) complete a Master of Science in Epidemiology and Clinical Research; (2) receive structured dual-mentorship by both subspecialty and global child health researchers; (3) design and complete a hypothesis-driven research project; (4) attend interactive research working groups; and (5) participate in the Department of Pediatrics highly successful grant writing programs. This comprehensive program will train a new generation of pediatric subspecialty global health scientists equipped to advance the research agenda outlined in the NICHD Scientific Vision.
