Research Training for Pediatric Subspecialists

描述(由申请人提供)：我们正在招聘五个博士后职位，为儿科医生提供儿科专科培训的重点研究培训。儿童医院医学中心是世界上最大的全方位服务儿科培训项目之一，为最先进的研究提供广泛的机构和外部支持。儿童医院医学中心目前有100多名儿科医生参加专科培训，并有支持初级教师发展的计划，其中包括儿童健康研究职业发展奖和检察官奖学金。然而，公认的儿科专家研究性培训的不足是缺乏高质量的研究经验，不足以使受训者为成功发展学术事业做好准备。这些培训职位将用于支持专科研究金的第三个研究年度和效仿儿科科学家发展计划的额外第四年的密集研究。将作出重点努力，在有基础设施的实验室向没有培训补助金的部门的受训者提供支持，以有效指导学术发展。将鼓励所有研究员利用T32的教师导师开始重要的研究经验。执行委员会(Boat博士、Jobe博士、Daniels博士和Williams博士)将挑选在头两年奖学金培训中表现出潜力和动力的研究员提供支持。学员们将有一个由他们的导师领导的培训委员会来跟踪他们的进步。该计划将在最初的两年临床奖学金之后，提供为期整整两年的密集导师奖学金研究经验。我们的目标是帮助专科医生顺利过渡到K08奖项或儿童医院医学中心的其他教师发展机会。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We are requesting five postdoctoral positions for focused research training for pediatricians in subspecialty training in pediatrics. Children's Hospital Medical Center is one of the largest full service pediatrics training programs in the world, with extensive institutional and extramural support for state-of-the-art research. The Children's Hospital Medical Center presently has over 100 pediatricians in subspecialty training and has programs for supporting junior faculty development that include a Child Health Research Career Development Award and Proctor Fellowships. However, a well-recognized deficit in the research training of pediatric subspecialists is an inadequate high quality research experience to prepare trainees to successfully develop academic careers. These training positions will be used to support the third research year of the subspecialty fellowship and an extra fourth year of intensive research modeled after the Pediatric Scientist Development Program. A focused effort will be made to support trainees from divisions without training grants in laboratories with the infrastructure to effectively mentor academic development. All fellows will be encouraged to initiate significant research experiences utilizing the faculty mentors for this T32. The Executive Committee (Drs. Boat, Jobe, Daniels, and Williams) will select fellows for support after they have demonstrated the potential and motivation during the first two years of fellowship training. The fellows will have a training committee headed by their mentor to track their progress. The program will provide an intensively mentored fellowship research experience for a full two years after the initial two years of clinical fellowship. The goal is to prepare the subspecialist to transition successfully to the K08 award or the other faculty development opportunities at Children's Hospital Medical Center.
