Child Neurologist Career Development Program (CNCDP)

项目总结/摘要 这是一个建议，提供密集的，指导研究培训的儿科神经学家谁是在5 在完成儿科和儿科神经病学的临床培训后多年， 学术/研究职位。该计划的名称将是儿童神经学家职业发展 计划（CNCDP）将由NIH/NINDS赞助，并计划CNCDP将取代 一个类似的儿科神经学家指导研究项目，称为神经科学学术 发展奖（NSADA）。NSADA计划自1992年以来一直在运作，它促进了 教育的许多儿童神经学家在学术职位，但不到一半的毕业生， NSADA计划已经成为独立职业发展赠款的主要参与者，如K 08， K23或R 01奖项或继续担任独立的临床科学家。CNCDP旨在 纠正NSADA的缺点，最重要的变化将是CNCDP将是一个 统一的国家计划，由一个PI指导，并设有指导委员会和国家咨询委员会 (NAC)，被称为CNCDP领导。该计划不同于NSADA计划，其中9个 单独NIH奖励的个人PI直接向NIH-NINDS报告。新的全国委员会结构将包括 两个层次的导师制：学者所在机构的导师制团队和来自国家的导师制。 CNCDP领导。根据CNCDP计划，个别儿科神经学家和导师团队将 能够从美国任何接受过儿科神经病学培训的学术机构申请CNCDP支持 程序. CNCDP指导委员会将与潜在的候选人合作，寻找合适的导师 并使用与NIH K 08奖相同的表格申请CNCDP支持。单独的NAC，包括 儿科神经科学的国家和国际领导人将审查申请，并选择多达6个 每年最有价值的资金。在5年内，计划为该方案培训30名学员。 有一个过渡计划，让目前的NSADA学者完成他们的指导研究。成功 该计划的申请人将提出一个培训计划，将科学研究培训与临床研究相结合。 在儿科神经病学的职业生涯，使他们不是单独的，而是一体化的。这个项目的科学价值 导师的素质也会很出色。该计划将包括实验设计培训， 生物统计学和负责任的研究行为，但一般不包括长期的教学工作， 会影响学者的研究和指导。然后，CNCDP领导层将继续 通过对学者机构的初步实地访问，经常参加网络研讨会， 与学者和指导委员会的会议，以及每年为期两天的务虚会，学者 向CNCDP领导和外部专家介绍他们的工作。CNCDP领导将严格执行 规定必须保护学者75%的时间做研究。

Project Summary / Abstract This is a proposal to provide intensive, mentored research training for pediatric neurologists who are within 5 years after finishing their clinical training in pediatrics and pediatric neurology, and who want to continue in an academic/research position. The name of the program will be the Child Neurologist Career Development Program (CNCDP) that will be sponsored by the NIH/NINDS and it is intended that CNCDP will replace a similar program of mentored research for pediatric neurologists called the Neuroscience Academic Development Award (NSADA). The NSADA program has been operating since 1992, and it has fostered the education of numerous child neurologists in academic positions, but less than half of the graduates of the NSADA program have gone on to become PI's of independent career development grants such as the K08, K23 or R01 awards or continued in the role of independent clinician-scientists. The CNCDP is intended to correct the shortcomings of the NSADA, and the most important change will be that the CNCDP will be a unified national program directed by a single PI with a Steering Committee and a National Advisory Committee (NAC), referred to as he CNCDP leadership. This plan is different from the NSADA program in which nine individual PI's of separate NIH awards reported directly to NIH-NINDS. The new CNCDP structure will include two layers of mentorship: a mentorship team at the scholar's home institution and mentorship from the national CNCDP leadership. Under the CNCDP plan, individual pediatric neurologists and mentorship teams will be able to apply for CNCDP support from any academic institution in the US with a pediatric neurology training program. The CNCDP Steering Committee will work with prospective candidates to find appropriate mentors and to apply for CNCDP support using the same form as for the NIH K08 Award. A separate NAC that includes national and international leaders in pediatric neuroscience will review the applications and choose up to 6 of the most meritorious for funding per year. Over 5 years, a total of 30 trainees are planned for the program. There is a transition plan for current NSADA scholars to complete their mentored research. Successful applicants to the program will present a training program that links scientific research training with a clinical career in pediatric neurology so that they are not separate but integrated. The scientific merit of the program and the quality of the mentors will be outstanding. The program will include training in experimental design, biostatistics and the responsible conduct of research, but generally will not include prolonged didactic work that can detract from the scholar's research and mentorship. Then the CNCDP leadership will continue to participate in the scholar's mentorship through an initial site visit to the scholar's institution, frequent webinar meetings with the scholar and mentoring committee, and a yearly two day retreat meeting in which scholars present their work to the CNCDP leadership and outside experts. CNCDP leadership will strictly enforce the rule that scholars must be protected to do research for 75% of their time.
