NICHD Institutional Training for Pediatricians

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案是2003年首次资助的一项赠款的竞争性续期，该赠款是对NICHD儿科医生机构培训RFA HD- 02-019的回应。我们的申请要求持续的资源，以培训4名儿科医生与医学博士。或医学博士/ PhD.在加州大学旧金山分校弗朗西斯科的儿科研究系，每年都有一个博士学位。在该奖项的前4年，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（4名在加州大学旧金山分校），三分之二的研究员至少有三年的博士后培训已经提交或持有职业发展奖（K奖）。UCSF儿科系致力于培养年轻的儿科研究人员，他们热衷于翻译科学数据，以提高儿童的健康。因此，这个T32应用程序的目标是提供严格的科学培训和广泛的职业指导，儿科专科研究员谁致力于研究的持续职业生涯是高度相关的儿科疾病。我们预计，大多数学者将强调T1（实验室到人类受试者）或T2（实践证据）研究，并概述每个途径的适当培训内容。然而，我们也认识到，一些学员将追求的项目，将整合T1和T2调查的元素，或研究和职业目标可能会在T32支持期间发生变化。出于这个原因，该计划旨在与每个T32学者积极合作，设计和实施最佳的培训计划。T1和T2研究员的培训计划包括以下四个关键要素：（1）指导研究经验;（2）科学课程工作;（3）跨学科经验和职业发展研讨会;以及（4）持续审查和评估。一个完善的指导方案已经到位。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（迄今为止的实际表现为100%），80%的学生在学术医学领域工作超过5年，三分之二的毕业生在完成培训后的12个月内申请K奖（迄今为止的实际表现为63%），50%的毕业生在毕业后5年内获得独立的联邦资助（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).
