DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Nationwide, there is a significant shortage of pediatric endocrinologists, particularly true at academic institutions. The primary goal for this competing renewal T32 proposal is to facilitate the training of highly skilled academic pediatric endocrinologists by providing concentrated research training in either basic or patient-oriented science during fellowship. Our secondary objective is to provide an environment that will facilitate the successful advancement of women into academic careers. Fellows selected for this training program must demonstrate a strong interest in a future academic career. They will be asked to propose research plans that will allow their progression into the ranks of academic pediatric faculties. Fellows will be matched with mentors that can support their goals for research training and provide guidance for advancement to the next phase of their academic careers. Faculty mentors will be selected for their ability to facilitate this transition and to impart a culture of responsible, rigorous, and robust science as is the tradition of the Pediatric Department at University of Minnesota. Trainees choose between a basic science or a clinical science research tack. Trainees on the clinical research track will obtain a formal Master's Degree in Clinical Research. Since this program began in 2002, it has recruited 6 women (1 per year). Four have completed the program, two of whom are tenure-track academic faculty (one with a Children's Miracle Network grant and the other with a K12). The two fellows still in training are highly likely to enter academic medicine. The historic strengths of this institution and its programs afford trainees an exceptionally diverse and high quality educational experience. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Given the current epidemic of pediatric diabetes and obesity and the profound impact these diseases are likely to have on future adult health, there is an urgent public health need for physician scientists trained to be able to tackle critical endocrine problems through innovative scientific discovery and its translation into clinical practice.

描述（由申请人提供）： 在全国范围内，儿科内分泌学家严重短缺，尤其是在学术机构。这项竞争性更新T32提案的主要目标是通过在奖学金期间提供基础或以患者为导向的科学方面的集中研究培训，促进高技能学术儿科内分泌学家的培训。我们的第二个目标是提供一个环境，将促进妇女成功地进入学术生涯的进步。入选本培训计划的研究员必须对未来的学术生涯表现出浓厚的兴趣。他们将被要求提出研究计划，这将使他们进入学术儿科院系的行列。研究员将与导师相匹配，可以支持他们的研究培训目标，并为他们的学术生涯的下一阶段提供指导。教师导师将被选择为他们的能力，以促进这一转变，并传授负责任的，严谨的，强大的科学文化，是在明尼苏达大学儿科系的传统。受训者可以选择基础科学或临床科学研究。临床研究方向的学员将获得正式的临床研究硕士学位。该方案自2002年开始实施以来，已经招募了6名妇女（每年1名）。四个已经完成了该计划，其中两个是终身教职的学术教师（一个与儿童奇迹网络赠款和其他K12）。这两名仍在接受培训的研究员极有可能进入学术医学界。该机构及其课程的历史优势为学员提供了非常多样化和高质量的教育体验。 公共卫生相关性：鉴于目前儿童糖尿病和肥胖症的流行以及这些疾病可能对未来成人健康产生的深远影响，公共卫生迫切需要经过培训的医生科学家能够通过创新的科学发现及其转化为临床实践来解决关键的内分泌问题。
