DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): There is a critical shortage of research-oriented pediatric neurologists. The goal of our Neurological Sciences Academic Development Award (NSADA) is to help to address this shortage by training a new generation of pediatric neurologists equipped to carry out independent, innovative clinical and laboratory- based research centered on neurological diseases of childhood. Our program draws substance from recent progress in genomics, developmental biology, stem cell biology, and cellular, systems, and behavioral neurobiology, which open new avenues for research in the epilepsies, muscular dystrophies, and other prevalent neurological diseases of childhood. Our program will support one pediatric neurology research trainee per year for up to 3 years. Our training faculty includes 25 scientific mentors from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine (U of P). Each of these mentors has both an active research program in an area highly relevant to pediatric neurology, and a strong record of training clinician/investigators. The research opportunities we provide fall into two broad areas in which CHOP and the U of P have particular strengths: Epilepsy and Neuromuscular research.

描述（由申请人提供）： 有一个面向研究的儿科神经学家严重短缺。我们的神经科学学术发展奖（NSADA）的目标是通过培训新一代儿科神经科医生来帮助解决这一短缺问题，他们能够开展以儿童神经系统疾病为中心的独立，创新的临床和实验室研究。我们的计划从基因组学，发育生物学，干细胞生物学，细胞，系统和行为神经生物学的最新进展中汲取了实质内容，为癫痫，肌营养不良和其他儿童流行的神经系统疾病的研究开辟了新的途径。我们的计划将每年支持一名儿科神经病学研究实习生，为期3年。我们的培训教师包括来自费城儿童医院（CHOP）和宾夕法尼亚大学医学院（U of P）的25名科学导师。这些导师中的每一个都在与儿科神经病学高度相关的领域有一个活跃的研究项目，并且在培训临床医生/研究人员方面有很好的记录。我们提供的研究机会分为两个广泛的领域，其中CHOP和P的U具有特别的优势：癫痫和神经肌肉研究。
