项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This Mid-Career Investigator Award is designed to support the continued research development and mentoring activities of Tina L. Cheng, MD, MPH, Associate Professor of Pediatrics and Public Health at Johns Hopkins University. Over the past 15 years, Dr. Cheng has demonstrated a commitment to patient- oriented research and mentoring new investigators. She is a pediatrician and established researcher in youth injury and violence prevention with continuous federal funding as Principal Investigator since 1995. She holds multiple national leadership positions in general pediatrics, has published widely in high level journals, and is recognized as a leader in research and training. Her overarching research missions are: 1) to facilitate the healthy development of youth and prevent violence in poor urban communities through research discoveries on effective strategies; and 2) to lead efforts to involve community members in translation of research-proven comprehensive strategies to the community, practice and policy. She is an accomplished mentor who has been particularly successful in recruiting and mentoring minority investigators. Johns Hopkins University provides both the commitment to research excellence and the interdisciplinary environment for productive patient-oriented research and training. Goals for this proposal include: 1) Continuation and expansion of research activities including refinement of interventions with youth, parents and schools to increase school engagement and prevent violence; 2) Enhancement of her research capabilities through coursework at the Bloomberg School of Public Health; and 3) Training and mentorship of general pediatrics and adolescent medicine residents, fellows, and junior faculty in patient-oriented research generally and violence prevention research specifically. Funding of this K24 award will allow Dr. Cheng to be relieved of clinical and administrative duties to focus on these goals. The research plan builds on current and previous work developing community-based interventions with an emphasis on the influence of parents. The mentoring plan involves: 1) Focused recruitment of excellent candidates for patient-oriented research with emphasis on the continued recruitment and mentoring of under-represented minorities; 2) Participation in a patient-oriented research curriculum for fellows in general pediatrics and adolescent medicine; and 3) Mentoring of the next generation of investigators toward independence in patient-oriented research.

描述（由申请人提供）：该中期研究者奖旨在支持约翰·霍普金斯大学儿科和公共卫生副教授，MPH，MPH，MPH的持续研究开发和指导活动。在过去的15年中，Cheng博士证明了对以患者为导向的研究和指导新研究人员的承诺。她是一名儿科医生，并且是预防青年伤害和暴力的成熟研究员，自1995年以来一直担任首席研究员的联邦资金。她担任一般儿科的多个国家领导职务，已在高级期刊上广泛发表，并被公认为是研究和培训的领导者。她的总体研究任务是：1）通过对有效策略的研究发现，促进青年的健康发展并防止贫穷的城市社区的暴力； 2）领导努力，使社区成员将研究证实的综合策略转化为社区，实践和政策。她是一位有成就的导师，在招募和指导少数群体调查员方面特别成功。约翰·霍普金斯大学（Johns Hopkins University）既提供了对研究卓越研究的承诺，也提供了跨学科的环境，以生产为患者的研究和培训。该提案的目标包括：1）继续和扩大研究活动，包括与青年，父母和学校进行干预以增加学校参与并预防暴力的改进； 2）通过彭博公共卫生学院的课程增强她的研究能力； 3）一般儿科和青少年医学居民，研究员和初级教师的培训和指导，通常是以患者为导向的研究和预防暴力研究。该K24奖的资金将使Cheng博士免除临床和行政职责，以专注于这些目标。该研究计划以当前和以前的工作为基础开发基于社区的干预措施，重点是父母的影响。指导计划涉及：1）重点招募出色的候选人，以进行患者的研究，重点是继续招募和指导代表性不足的少数民族； 2）参加一般儿科和青少年医学研究员的面向患者的研究课程； 3）指导下一代研究人员在以患者为导向的研究中进行独立性。
