Research Training for Pediatric Subspecialists

描述（由申请人提供）：我们正在请求五个博士后职位，为儿科医生提供儿科专科培训的重点研究培训。 儿童医院医疗中心是世界上最大的全方位服务儿科培训计划之一，为最先进的研究提供广泛的机构和校外支持。 儿童医院医疗中心目前有100多名儿科医生接受专科培训，并有支持初级教师发展的计划，包括儿童健康研究职业发展奖和普罗克特奖学金。 然而，一个公认的缺陷，在儿科专科医生的研究培训是一个不足的高质量的研究经验，准备学员成功地发展学术生涯。 这些培训职位将用于支持亚专业奖学金的第三个研究年和儿科科学家发展计划之后的第四个强化研究年。 将作出重点努力，支持没有培训赠款的各司的受训人员在具有有效指导学术发展的基础设施的实验室接受培训。 所有研究员将被鼓励开始利用教师导师为这个T32重要的研究经验。 执行委员会（Boat、Jobe、Daniels和威廉姆斯博士）将在研究员在研究金培训的头两年表现出潜力和积极性后，挑选研究员提供支助。 研究员将有一个由其导师领导的培训委员会，以跟踪他们的进展情况。 该计划将提供一个密集的指导奖学金研究经验，为期两年后，最初两年的临床奖学金。 我们的目标是准备专科成功过渡到K08奖或其他教师在儿童医院医疗中心的发展机会。

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.
