Multidisciplinary Training Program in Pediatric Pulmonary

描述(由申请人提供)：约翰霍普金斯大学儿科肺部医学多学科培训计划(T-32)的目标是：(1)培养将研究儿科肺部疾病的病理生理学和治疗的杰出生物医学科学家；(2)鼓励和支持博士后研究员从事临床和生物医学研究方面的学术生涯；以及(3)培养国家儿科肺病学领军人物。它致力于为其教职员工和学生提供平等的机会，并作为一项政策，不以任何受法律保护的特征为基础进行歧视。拟议的培训计划将为四名符合条件的候选人提供为期三年的博士后水平的儿科肺部相关研究培训，这些候选人每年拥有MD、MD/PhD、DO或博士学位。这一培训计划是约翰霍普金斯大学医学院儿科和医学系与约翰霍普金斯大学彭博公共卫生学院34名研究人员广泛合作的结果。这些研究科学家为六个研究学科小组提供指导培训：(1)肺损伤和发展；(2)上皮运输、肺移植和囊性纤维化；(3)睡眠障碍；(4)儿科肺部疾病的临床结果；(5)传染病、结核病和全球健康；(6)哮喘、过敏和炎症。希望专注于临床科学研究的博士后实习生将能够通过约翰霍普金斯大学彭博公共卫生学院获得临床研究、流行病学、生物统计学或卫生政策研究生培训计划的硕士学位(公共卫生硕士或硕士学位)。研究导师和受训者之间的指导关系将是该项目研究培训经验的核心。辅以课程作业、准备拨款申请的正式培训、负责任地开展研究的正式培训、积极参与 在计划范围的会议上，在国家科学会议上介绍原创研究，并在同行评议的期刊上发表原创研究。项目主任将全面负责确保项目的适当协调，包括教育、科学和行政方面的协调。她将接受行政、计划咨询、奖学金评审、奖学金评审、少数族裔咨询和外部咨询委员会的咨询。项目主任将由奖学金审查委员会主席协助项目的日常运作，他将监督这一T-32项目的研究培训。项目主任还将得到ACGME认可的临床培训项目主任的协助。该司司长还将在这笔培训补助金的日常管理中向方案主任提供熟练的协助。虽然只有九年的时间，但目前的T-32培训计划已经毕业了8名训练有素的儿科肺病学研究人员，其中7人目前是美国学术机构的教员。这一高标准将在拟议的计划中继续下去。(摘要结束)

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goals of the Johns Hopkins Multidisciplinary Training Program in Pediatric Pulmonary Medicine (T-32) are: (1) to produce outstanding biomedical scientists who will investigate the pathophysiology and treatment of pediatric pulmonary disorders; (2) to encourage and enable post-doctoral fellows to pursue academic careers in clinical and biomedical research; and (3) to develop national leaders in pediatric Pulmonology. It is committed to equal opportunity for its faculty, staff and students and, as a matter of policy, does not discriminate on the basis of any legally protected characteristics. The proposed training program will provide three years of training in pediatric lung-related research at the postdoctoral level for four qualified candidates with MD, MD/PhD, DO, or PhD degrees/year. This training program is the result of an extensive collaboration between thirty-four research faculty members in the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine's Departments of Pediatrics and Medicine and the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. These research scientists offer mentored training in six Research Discipline Groups: (1) lung injury and development; (2) epithelial transport, lung transplantation and cystic fibrosis; (3) sleep disorder; (4) clinical outcomes in pediatric pulmonary diseases; (5) infectious diseases, tuberculosis and global health; and (6) asthma, allergy and inflammation. Postdoctoral trainees who wish to focus their research in the clinical sciences will be able to obtain a masters' degree (MPH or MHS) in graduate training programs in Clinical Investigations, Epidemiology, Biostatistics or Health Policy through the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health. The tutorial relationship between research mentor and trainee will be central to the program's research training experience. This will be supplemented by coursework, formal training in the preparation of grant applications, formal training in the responsible conduct of research, active participation in program-wide conferences, presentation of original research at national scientific meetings and publication of original research in peer- reviewed journals. The Program Director will have the overall responsibility for assuring proper coordination of the program, including its educational, scientific, and administrative aspects. She will receive consultation from Executive, Program Advisory, Fellowship Review, Scholarship Review, Minority Advisory and External Advisory Committees. The Program Director will be assisted in the day-to-day operations of the program by the Chair of the Fellowship Review Committee, who will oversee the research training of this T-32 program. The program Director will also be assisted by the Director of this ACGME-accredited clinical training program. The Division Administrator will also provide skilled assistance to the program Director in the day-to-day management of this training grant. Although only nine years old, the current T-32 training program has already graduated 8 highly trained researchers in pediatric Pulmonology, seven of whom are currently faculty members in academic institutions in the U.S. This high performance standard will be continued in the proposed program.
