Children’s National Stimulating Access to Research in Residency (CNStARR) Program (NHLBI)

项目摘要/摘要： 由国家心肺血液研究所(NHLBI)首届R38奖项之一资助， 儿童国家促进住院研究(CNSTARR)计划是一项现有的指导计划 职业发展和研究培训计划。它极大地扩大了我们机构的能力， 招募和留住有潜质和兴趣从事研究工作的优秀住院医师 在NHLBI感兴趣的内容领域，特别强调哮喘和呼吸道疾病，先天性 心脏病、血液学和免疫学。每个内容区域的选择是因为深度和 广度，我们当地可用的，承诺的，和经验丰富的训诫。利用现有的 国立儿童医院(CNH)和乔治华盛顿大学(GWU)之间的合作 他们联合举办的临床和翻译科学研究所，CNSTARR将从 CNH和GWU内科。利用儿童医院现有的基础设施 研究驻院计划以及高度定制和专注的个人发展计划， CNSTARR为其学者提供教学能力和变革性指导 基础、临床或转化性研究方面的经验，使他们成为成功的、独立的临床医生- 科学家。CNSTARR最直接的目标是加速参与者向后续 指导职业发展奖，特别是“促进获得研究和实习机会”奖 过渡支持“，来自国家卫生研究院的链接个人K38机制，以及 其他机制，如T32和F32任命，我们的机构KL2和K12奖励，或个人K- 系列奖。CNSTARR学者将加入未来与以下领域相关的研究领域的学术领袖 NHLBI。最终，他们将指导研究团队，成功地竞争拨款支持，并增加 对我们了解心脏、肺和血液疾病的病因和治疗具有重要意义 人类的寿命。因为一般的学术医学(以及儿科和内科) 来自医学(UIM)背景的调查人员短缺令人悲痛，CNSTARR 将采取刻意和深思熟虑的战略，以确定、招募和留住具有UIM背景的学者。

Project Summary/Abstract: Funded by one of the inaugural R38 awards from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), the Children’s National Stimulating Access to Research in Residency (CNStARR) Program is an existing mentored program of career development and research training. It has dramatically expanded our institution’s capacity to recruit and retain outstanding residents with demonstrated potential and interest in pursuing research careers in content areas of interest to the NHLBI with a special emphasis on asthma and airway diseases, congenital heart disease, and hematology and immunology. Each content area was chosen because of the depth and breadth of our locally available, committed, and highly experienced preceptors. Leveraging the existing collaborations between Children’s National Hospital (CNH) and George Washington University (GWU) such as their jointly held Clinical and Translational Science Institute, CNStARR will recruit residents in pediatrics from CNH and in internal medicine from GWU. Utilizing the existing infrastructure of the Children’s Hospital Research in Residency Program and as well as highly tailored and focused Individual Development Plans, CNStARR provides its scholars with both the didactic competencies and the transformative mentored experiences in basic, clinical, or translational research to prepare them as successful, independent clinician- scientists. The most proximate goal of CNStARR is to accelerate the transition of participants to subsequent mentored career development awards, particularly the “Stimulating Access to Research and Residency Transition Support,” the linked individual K38 mechanism from the National Institutes of Health, as well as other mechanisms such as T32 and F32 appointments, our institutional KL2 and K12 awards, or individual K- series awards. CNStARR scholars will join the future academic leaders in research areas of relevance to NHLBI. Ultimately, they will direct research teams, compete successfully for grant support, and add significantly to our understanding of the etiology and treatment of heart, lung, and blood disorders across the human life span. Because academic medicine in general (and pediatrics and internal medicine) suffers grievously from a shortage of investigators from backgrounds under-represented in medicine (UIM), CNStARR will pursue an intentional and deliberate strategy to identify, recruit, and retain scholars from backgrounds UIM.
