DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal requests funding to establish an NIH Institutional training grant (T32) in Pediatric Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism at Columbia University, College of Physicians & Surgeons. This new training fellowship will allow the Division of Pediatric Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism to 1) further enhance and develop research training opportunities in pediatric endocrinology; 2) meet the national priorities of training a core of pediatric endocrinology investigators who will be available to assume leadership roles in clinical/laboratory based research in pediatric endocrinology; 3) create a cadre of pediatric endocrinologists whose future academic careers will also help fill the critical shortage of investigators in pediatric diabetes; and 4) prepare investigators to meet the new national health priorities and disease prevention objectives (Healthy People 2010) in at least three of twenty-eight targeted areas: Diabetes (#5), Maternal Infant and Child Health (#16), and Nutrition and Overweight (#19). These goals will be achieved by completion of three years of training in our ACGME approved Pediatric Endocrinology fellowship. Funding is requested for the last two years which are devoted to research in fields relevant to pediatric endocrinology. Our program provides integrated and comprehensive training in both clinical and basic research in a supportive environment. The five major areas of investigation available to the fellows are Clinical and Molecular Diabetes, Interrelationship and Disorders of Androgen/Growth Factors/Lipid Metabolism, Metabolic Bone Disease and Body Composition, Neuroendocrinology, and Autoimmunity, Immunology & Cell Biology/Clinical Genetics. The program also includes training in biostatistics, epidemiology, ethics and human research, grant writing, pharmacokinetics, molecular and cellular biology, with required didactic coursework. The training faculty includes 23 scientific mentors, 1 biostatistician/epidemiologist and 9 consultative faculty not only within the Division of Pediatric Endocrinology, but also in related Divisions including Endocrinology (Adult), Molecular & Clinical Genetics, Reproductive Endocrinology, Autoimmunity & Molecular Diseases, Physiology, Anatomy, Cell Biology, Cellular Biophysics, Surgery, Preventive Medicine, Nutrition, Neonatology, and Obstetrics & Gynecology. Most hold grants funded by the NIH. The institution's commitment to research is exemplified by Columbia having been designated a Diabetes Education and Research Center and the Department of Pediatrics is a recipient of a CHRC award. In addition, this application is augmented by an NIH supported GCRC, and a K30 Masters of Science Program in Biostatistics: Patient Oriented Research. Columbia University's Health Sciences Center is committed to the recruitment of women and minority applicants. This request is made for funding of 4 fellowship trainee positions yearly (3 slots, year 1 of grant) for a 5 year award.

描述（由申请人提供）： 该提案要求提供资金，以在哥伦比亚大学内科和外科医生学院建立儿科内分泌学、糖尿病和代谢方面的NIH机构培训补助金（T32）。这一新的培训奖学金将使儿科内分泌学、糖尿病和代谢部能够：1）进一步加强和发展儿科内分泌学的研究培训机会; 2）满足国家优先培训儿科内分泌学研究者核心的要求，这些研究者将能够在儿科内分泌学的临床/实验室研究中发挥领导作用; 3）培养一批儿科内分泌学家，他们未来的学术生涯也将有助于填补儿科糖尿病研究人员的严重短缺;以及4）使研究人员做好准备，以满足新的国家卫生优先事项和疾病预防目标在28个目标领域中，至少有三个领域的健康人（2010年）：糖尿病（#5），母婴健康（#16），营养和超重（#19）。这些目标将通过在ACGME批准的儿科内分泌学奖学金中完成三年的培训来实现。最近两年申请的资金用于儿科内分泌学相关领域的研究。我们的计划在支持性环境中提供临床和基础研究的综合全面培训。研究员可以研究的五个主要领域是临床和分子糖尿病，雄激素/生长因子/脂质代谢的相互关系和疾病，代谢性骨病和身体成分，神经内分泌学，以及自身免疫，免疫学和细胞生物学/临床遗传学。该计划还包括生物统计学，流行病学，伦理学和人类研究，赠款写作，药代动力学，分子和细胞生物学方面的培训，以及所需的教学课程。培训教师包括23名科学导师，1名生物统计学家/流行病学家和9名顾问教师，不仅在儿科内分泌学部门，而且在相关部门，包括内分泌学（成人），分子和临床遗传学，生殖内分泌学，自身免疫和分子疾病，生理学，解剖学，细胞生物学，细胞生物物理学，外科学，预防医学，营养学，新生儿学，妇产科大多数赠款由NIH资助。哥伦比亚大学被指定为糖尿病教育和研究中心，儿科系是CHRC奖的获得者，这是该机构致力于研究的例证。此外，该应用程序还得到了NIH支持的GCRC和K30生物统计学科学硕士课程的增强：以患者为导向的研究。哥伦比亚大学健康科学中心致力于招聘女性和少数族裔申请人。这项申请是为了每年资助4个研究金受训人员职位（3个名额，赠款第1年），为期5年。
