DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The aim of our interdisciplinary Institutional Neurological Sciences Academic Development Award (NSADA) Program, based at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and The University of Pennsylvania (U of P), is to train child neurologists with a MD or MD/PhD to flourish in academia as clinician scientists. Our long-term goals are for our trainees to establish the foundations of basic and clinical research as it pertains to childhood neurological diseases. This will enable our graduates to make Inroads to our understanding of disease processes, and then for others to take these scientific observations to the "bedside" by conducting well-designed clinical trials. 39 mentors will participate in this first competitive renewal of this program; 18 are based primarily at CHOP, and 21 primarily at the U of P. All are heavily involved in biomedical graduate education and are closely interlinked by mutual research projects and grants. In addition to mentored research training, our curriculum emphasizes: 1) formal course work through the U of P Graduate Studies Program, 2) when appropriate, enroll in the Masters in Statistics and Clinical Epidemiology through the CCEB program at U of P, 3) training in responsible conduct of research, 4) training In biostatistics, and 5) workshops that cover a variety of important survival skills. Including scientific writing, public presentations, grant writing workshops, laboratory management and career advancement skills. During the first 4 years of our program, we accepted 4 trainees; 2 were MDs, and 2 were MD/PhDs. Two of these trainees were female. The two candidates in years 1 and 2 are on the faculty at U of P as Assistant Professors, and the other two are Instructors also at U of P. We request continued support for 1 child neurologist/year to be a NSADA candidate. Our goal remains focused on providing a training program unlike any other here at CHOP or U of P that is focused on child neurologists to acquire the necessary training that will enable them to be outstanding clinicians/scientists. This program benefits from being in an outstanding environment that commits substantial resources to training, to basic biomedical research, and to a true 'bench to bedside" approach to translational research.

描述(由申请人提供)：我们的跨学科机构神经科学学术发展奖(NSADA)计划，总部设在费城儿童医院(CHOP)和宾夕法尼亚大学(U Of P)，旨在培养拥有医学博士或医学/博士学位的儿童神经学家，使其在学术界蓬勃发展，成为临床科学家。我们的长期目标是为受训人员建立基础和临床研究的基础，因为它与儿童神经疾病有关。这将使我们的毕业生能够在我们对疾病过程的理解上取得进展，然后让其他人通过进行精心设计的临床试验来将这些科学观察带到“床边”。39名导师将参加这一项目的首次竞争性续签；18名导师主要在CHOP，21名导师主要在P大学。所有导师都深度参与生物医学研究生教育，并通过相互的研究项目和拨款密切联系在一起。除了指导研究培训，我们的课程强调：1)通过P大学研究生课程的正式课程工作，2)适当的时候，通过P大学的CCEB计划注册统计学和临床流行病学硕士课程，3)负责任的研究行为培训，4)生物统计学培训，以及5)涵盖各种重要生存技能的研讨会。包括科学写作、公开演讲、拨款写作工作坊、实验室管理和职业发展技能。在我们项目的前4年，我们接受了4名实习生；2名医学博士，2名医学博士/博士。这些受训人员中有两名是女性。第一年和第二年的两名候选人在P大学担任助理教授，另外两人也是P大学的讲师。我们请求继续支持1名儿童神经科医生/年成为NSADA候选人。我们的目标仍然是提供不同于CHOP或P大学的其他培训计划，该计划专注于儿童神经科医生，以获得必要的培训，使他们能够成为杰出的临床医生/科学家。这一计划受益于所处的卓越环境，该环境将大量资源投入到培训、基础生物医学研究以及真正的“从长椅到床边”的转化研究方法上。
