Pediatric Scientist Development Program

项目摘要 此应用程序寻求桥梁支持儿科科学家发展计划（PSDP），职业生涯 自1987年以来，已有222名医生-科学家毕业。 该计划仍然致力于培养下一代儿科科学家领导者，包括：（a） 招募不同的儿科研究员，他们在成功的调查事业中具有出色的潜力， 在强化指导的环境中发展;（B）扩大和多样化训练有素的人才管道 儿科医生-科学家，他们将促进儿童健康的前沿发现，并领导儿科 未来的部门。私营部门发展方案的独特之处包括其在北美的征聘范围， 研究员和导师，研究期间对职业发展的高度重视， 在医学院儿科系主任协会（AMSPDC）的主持下， 强调儿科学以外的研究环境，及其指导方法，包括 多位多元化的研究导师、多元化的PSDP咨询委员会以及与儿科的网络 系主任。咨询委员会包括一个强有力的指导委员会， 政策;一个子集，其中填补遴选委员会面试PSDP候选人;和一个独立的 计划评估委员会衡量计划在确保研究员成功方面的有效性。一 PSDP的核心内容是每年的职业发展课程，该课程实际上召集了PSDP的研究员 并亲自与导师和咨询委员会，以及所有美国和加拿大儿科系主任， AMSPDC会议。 桥梁资助期间的目标包括：1）继续目前的奖学金和研究经费 策略; 2）招募多元化的申请人和研究员库，其中至少有30%的医学代表性不足 （URiM）为下一个应用周期及以后; 3）与其他NIH资助的培训计划网络 专注于儿科管道的多样化; 4）与专注于多元化的组织建立网络， 5）在PSDP应用程序中应用我们个人陈述部分的更新，以捕获 生活经历; 6）与专注于资助解决健康不平等问题的研究的组织合作; （七）继续加强私营部门发展计划督导委员会的研究广度和多样性。 我们计划在亚专业奖学金中培训24名PSDP学者。在24名学者中，17名学者将 由美国国立卫生研究院资助（其中包括由艾滋病研究办公室共同资助的艾滋病毒相关工作的一个时隙）。我们 将有一个由NICHD校内研究部门单独资助的校内插槽。PSDP将 在超过38年的经验教训的基础上，加强我们的国家网络，发展职业发展 重点和新颖的教育方法，使儿科研究人员队伍多样化，并培养 下一代多样化的儿科医生科学家在这个桥梁资助期间。

Project Summary This application seeks bridge support for the Pediatric Scientist Development Program (PSDP), a career development pathway for pediatric fellows from which 222 physician-scientists have graduated since 1987. The program remains committed to building the next generation of pediatrician scientists leaders, including: (a) to recruit diverse pediatric fellows whose outstanding potential for a successful investigative career can be developed in an intensively mentored setting and (b) to expand and diversify the pipeline of superbly trained pediatric physician-scientists, who will catalyze cutting-edge discoveries in child health and lead the pediatric departments of the future. Unique aspects of the PSDP include its North American scope for recruitment of fellows and mentors, its intensive focus on career development during fellowship, its supra-institutional governance under the aegis of the Association of Medical School Pediatric Department Chairs (AMSPDC), its emphasis on research environments outside pediatrics, and its approach to mentoring that encompasses multiple and diverse research mentors, diverse PSDP advisory committees, and networking with pediatric department chairs. Advisory Committees include a strong Steering Committee, which sets programmatic policy; a subset of whom fill the Selection Committee to interview PSDP candidates; and an independent Program Evaluation Committee measures the program’s effectiveness in ensuring fellows’ success. A centerpiece of the PSDP is the annual career development curriculum that convenes PSDP fellows virtually and in-person with mentors and advisory committees, and all US and Canadian pediatric department chairs at the AMSPDC meeting. Goals for the Bridge Funding Period include: 1) Continue the current fellow stipend and research funding strategy ; 2) Recruit a diverse applicant and fellow pool with at least 30% Underrepresented in Medicine (URiMs) for the next application cycle and beyond; 3) Network with other NIH-funded training programs focused on diversifying the pediatric pipeline; 4) Network with organizations focused on diversity of the physician workforce; 5) Apply the update of our personal statement section in the PSDP application to capture life experiences; 6) Partner with organizations focused on funding research that addresses health inequities; and 7) Continue to enhance the research breadth and diversity of the PSDP Steering Committee. We project to train 24 PSDP Scholars in subspecialty fellowships. Out of the 24 Scholars, 17 Scholars will be funded by the NIH (this includes one slot for HIV related work co-funded by the Office of AIDS Research). We will have one intramural slot funded separately by the NICHD Division of Intramural Research. The PSDP will build on lessons of more than 38 years to strengthen our national network, evolve career development emphases and novel educational approaches, diversify the pediatrics research workforce pipeline, and nurture the next generation of diverse pediatric physician-scientists during this bridge funding period.
