DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The postdoctoral Pediatric Endocrinology and Diabetes Training Program at the University of Michigan is designed to recruit and provide high quality research training in one of two major tracks, Basic Science or Clinical Investigation & Epidemiology to qualified candidates. The theme of the Program is developmental programming of endocrine disorders. The program is organized to complement the established training program in clinical pediatric endocrinology for M.D.s, and for basic scientist pursuing a career in endocrine research, by providing 2 years of intensive postdoctoral training using closely-mentored research training program individialy structured for each trainee. The program is actively supported by 19 faculty from 12 different departments, all of whom have extensive research and mentoring experience. The Program also includes an extensive didactic component tailored to each trainee's educational background and research interests. Trainees in the Basic Sciences complete a 3-month course designed to expose them to a variety of state-of-the-art techniques, as well as to skills in performing hypothesis-driven, controlled research studies. Trainees in the Clinical Investigation & Epidemiology choose between Outcomes & Epidemiology or Clinical Research. They complete courses leading to either a Master of Public Health in Biostatistics & Epidemiology or a Master of Science in Clinical Research Design & Statistical Analysis. In addition to the formal curriculum, trainees attend weekly clinical and research seminars. Mentored research is supported the Medical School resourses including the Centers of Integrative Genomics, Proteomics, Organogenesis and Diabetes and the Center for Advancement of Clinical Research. To optimize each trainee's potential for development of a successful academic career, trainees are required to submit abstracts to national meetings, submit a first-authored research manuscript, and apply for individual grant funding. Expansion of our Program will help alleviate the critical shortage of successful Pediatric Endocrinologists and Pediatric Physician-Scientists

描述（由申请人提供）： 密歇根大学的博士后儿科内分泌学和糖尿病培训计划旨在招募和提供两个主要轨道之一的高质量研究培训，基础科学或临床调查和流行病学合格的候选人。该方案的主题是内分泌失调的发展规划。该计划旨在补充医学博士临床儿科内分泌学的既定培训计划，并为从事内分泌研究的基础科学家提供为期2年的密集博士后培训，使用为每位学员单独构建的密切指导的研究培训计划。该计划得到了来自12个不同部门的19名教师的积极支持，他们都有丰富的研究和指导经验。该计划还包括一个广泛的教学组成部分，适合每个学员的教育背景和研究兴趣。基础科学的受训者完成为期3个月的课程，旨在使他们接触各种最先进的技术，以及执行假设驱动的受控研究的技能。临床调查和流行病学的实习生选择结果和流行病学或临床研究。他们完成的课程导致要么在生物统计学和流行病学公共卫生硕士或在临床研究设计和统计分析科学硕士。除了正式课程外，受训人员还参加每周一次的临床和研究研讨会。指导研究得到医学院资源的支持，包括整合基因组学，蛋白质组学，器官发生和糖尿病中心以及临床研究促进中心。为了最大限度地发挥每个受训者的潜力，发展一个成功的学术生涯，受训者必须提交摘要的国家会议，提交第一作者的研究手稿，并申请个人赠款资金。我们计划的扩展将有助于缓解成功的儿科内分泌学家和儿科医生科学家的严重短缺
