DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Advances in our understanding and treatment of childhood respiratory disorders have been limited by a lack of insight into basic mechanisms of disease and the development of novel therapeutic strategies. The purpose of this program is to provide rigorous multidisciplinary training for academically oriented pediatricians interested in childhood lung diseases. This proposal is a renewal of the NIH Training Program in Pediatric Pulmonary Lung Disease at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, and represents the continuation of a well-established program that has existed since 1988. This current proposal has been expanded to represent the evolution of our training program and to reflect our highly interactive, multidisciplinary faculty. Strengths of this program include benefits derived fro the integration of extensive resources of two collaborating hospitals (The Children's Hospital (TCH) and National Jewish Medical and Research Center (NJMRC)) and five research units at the NJMRC and the UCHSC campus (Developmental Lung Biology Laboratory, Pediatric Heart Lung Center Laboratory, the Perinatal Research Facility, and the Cardiovascular Pulmonary Laboratories). These resources are combined into a versatile training environment for both basic and applied research. Faculty in this program include the PIs of 2 PPGs, 2 SCORs, a Therapeutic Development Center Award in Cystic Fibrosis, and NIH Clinical Research Center Grant, and several individual awards that address basic, applied and clinical research questions in the area of pulmonary biology. Collaborations between laboratory and clinical investigators are a major strength of this proposal, enhancing interactions between scientists and clinicians from diverse backgrounds and encouraging "bench to bedside" approaches to pediatric lung disease. All participants in the training program are full-time academic faculty, and include pediatric pulmonary and critical care physician investigators, along with several basic (PhD) and other scientists from throughout the UCHSC. The most promising individuals with clearly defined academic goals are selected from candidates within our pediatric pulmonary, critical care and neonatology fellowship training programs. After a clinical year of training (funded from other sources), laboratory or clinical research experience is provided under the direct mentorship of a senior investigator. Structured course work in statistics, molecular biology, cell physiology, ethics, and other areas are provided to the trainees. The head of the training grant, fellowship directors, their laboratory mentor and special advisors to the program closely monitors review of fellows' progress. (End of Abstract)

描述（由申请人提供）： 由于缺乏对疾病基本机制的了解和新治疗策略的开发，我们对儿童呼吸系统疾病的理解和治疗的进展受到限制。该计划的目的是为对儿童肺部疾病感兴趣的学术型儿科医生提供严格的多学科培训。 该提案是对科罗拉多大学医学院 NIH 小儿肺病培训项目的更新，代表了自 1988 年以来已存在的完善项目的延续。当前的提案已得到扩展，以代表我们培训项目的演变，并反映我们高度互动的多学科教师队伍。 该计划的优势包括整合两家合作医院（儿童医院 (TCH) 和国家犹太医学研究中心 (NJMRC)）以及 NJMRC 和 UHSC 校园的五个研究单位（发育肺生物学实验室、儿科心肺中心实验室、围产期研究设施和心血管肺实验室）的广泛资源所带来的好处。 这些资源被组合成一个多功能的基础和应用研究培训环境。该项目的教师包括 2 个 PPG、2 个 SCOR、囊性纤维化治疗开发中心奖和 NIH 临床研究中心补助金，以及解决肺生物学领域的基础、应用和临床研究问题的多个个人奖项。 实验室和临床研究人员之间的合作是该提案的主要优势，加强了来自不同背景的科学家和临床医生之间的互动，并鼓励对儿科肺部疾病采取“从实验室到临床”的方法。 培训计划的所有参与者都是全职学术人员，包括儿科肺部和重症监护医师研究人员，以及来自 UHSC 的几位基础科学家（博士）和其他科学家。 具有明确学术目标的最有前途的个人是从我们的儿科肺部、重症监护和新生儿学奖学金培训项目的候选人中选出的。 经过一年的临床培训（由其他来源资助）后，将在高级研究员的直接指导下提供实验室或临床研究经验。为学员提供统计学、分子生物学、细胞生理学、伦理学和其他领域的结构化课程。 培训补助金负责人、奖学金主任、他们的实验室导师和该项目的特别顾问密切关注对研究员进展的审查。 （摘要完）
