NICHD Institutional Training for Pediatricians

描述(由申请人提供)：这项提案是第一次竞争性地延长最初于2003年资助的赠款，以响应RFA HD-02-019关于NICHD儿科医生机构培训的规定。我们的申请需要持续的资源来培训4名拥有医学博士或医学博士学位的儿科医生。每年在加州大学旧金山分校(UCSF)儿科系获得儿科研究学位。在该奖项的头4年里，我们支持了12名儿科专科研究员(4名男性和8名女性)的培训。所有5名完成奖学金的学员都有学术任命(加州大学旧金山分校的4名)，三分之二的研究员至少接受了三年的博士后培训，提交或持有职业发展奖(K奖)。加州大学旧金山分校儿科系致力于培养热衷于翻译科学数据以增进儿童健康的年轻儿科研究人员。因此，T32申请的目标是为致力于与儿科疾病高度相关的研究的儿科专科研究员提供严格的科学培训和广泛的职业指导。我们预计，大多数学者将强调TL(实验室到人类受试者)或T2(证据到实践)研究，并概述针对每一条途径的适当培训组成部分。然而，我们也认识到，一些受训者将从事将TL和T2调查要素整合在一起的项目，或者在T32支持期间，研究和职业目标可能会改变。为此，该计划旨在与每一位T32奖学金获得者积极合作，设计和实施一项最佳培训计划。T1和T2研究员的培训方案包括以下四个关键要素：(1)有指导的研究经验；(2)科学课程工作；(3)跨学科经验和职业发展讲习班；以及(4)持续的审查和评估。一项完善的指导计划已经到位。T32计划的目标是让90%的毕业生在完成培训后进入学术医学(到目前为止的实际表现为100%)，80%的毕业生在学院医学工作超过5年，三分之二的毕业生在完成培训后12个月内申请K奖(到目前为止的实际表现为63%)，以及50%的毕业生在毕业后5年内获得独立的、由联邦政府资助的补助金(没有足够的时间来评估这一指标的表现)。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is the first competing renewal of a grant initially funded in 2003 in response to the RFA HD- 02-019 for NICHD Institutional Training for Pediatricians. Our application requests ongoing resources to train 4 pediatricians with an M.D. or M.D./PhD. degree each year in pediatric research in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF). In the first 4 years of this award we have supported the training of 12 pediatric subspecialty fellows (4 men and 8 women). All 5 trainees who have finished their fellowships have academic appointments (4 at UCSF) and two-thirds of the fellows with at least three years of post-doctoral training have submitted or hold a career development award (K award). The Department of Pediatrics at UCSF is strongly committed to producing young pediatric researchers who are passionate about translating scientific data to enhance the health of children. The goal therefore of this T32 application is to provide rigorous scientific training and extensive career mentoring to pediatric subspecialty fellows who are committed to a sustained career in research is highly relevant to pediatric disease. We anticipate that most scholars will emphasize either Tl (Laboratory to Human Subjects) or T2 (Evidence to Practice) research and outline appropriate training components specific to each pathway. However, we also recognize that some trainees will pursue projects that will integrate elements of Tl and T2 investigation or that research and career goals may shift during the period of T32 support. For this reason, the program is designed to work proactively with each T32 scholar to design and implement an optimal training program. The training program for Tl and T2 fellows consists of the following four key elements: (1) a mentored research experience; (2) scientific course work; (3) interdisciplinary experiences and career development workshops; and, (4) ongoing review and evaluation. A well-established mentoring program is in place. The objective goals of the T32 program are to have 90% of the graduates enter academic medicine at the completion of training (actual performance to date 100%), 80% remain in academic medicine for greater than 5 years, two-thirds of the graduates apply for a K award within 12 months of completing training (actual performance to date 63%), and 50% of graduates to have an independent, federally-funded grant within 5 years of graduation (not enough time has passed to evaluate performance on this metric).
