Developmental Adaptation

目前的建议寻求续期儿童健康研究职业发展奖。 耶鲁大学医学院儿科。耶鲁大学儿童健康研究的目标 由NICHD奖资助的职业发展计划(YCHRCDP)继续推进 通过为学术和科学领域的独立研究生涯培养医生-科学家来进行儿童健康研究 儿科调查科。 YCHRCDP最初于1990年被评为P30奖项，在过去的15年里，它促进了职业生涯的发展 38名内科科学家研究器官发育的基本过程和 儿童疾病。40%(40%)的获奖者是R-或U-Level的首席研究人员 资金来自美国国立卫生研究院。39%(39%)的获奖者是女性，获奖者的比例和时间 为这些女性内科科学家提供独立的NIH资金和学术晋升相当于 他们的男性同行。30多名耶鲁大学教职员工担任过YCHRCDP获奖者的导师，以及 我们任命的人员中有70%在儿科以外的部门接受过培训，包括遗传学， 免疫生物学；内科、病理学和生理学。 为了与我们的计划在过去15年中的内部成熟保持一致，我们目前的目标是 在五个方面扩大青年发展计划的影响：(1)扩大我们的事业发展范围 通过在系内外纳入新的指导措施来设置课程；(2) 继续强调女医生-科学家的榜样(我们内部咨询委员会50%的成员 和21%的推荐导师)，并将这一模式推广到少数群体(12%的获奖者)；(3)扩大 通过整合来自以下机构的财政资源来支持医生-科学家职业生涯的早期 儿科、医学院和NICHD；(4)加强 YCHRCDP通过继续加强我们与儿童健康相关研究项目的联盟， (5)与跨部门的职业发展建立新的联系 耶鲁大学的罗伯特·伍德·约翰逊临床学者计划和研究医学计划 医学院，从而扩大了我国学者的职业发展机会范围。

The current proposal seeks renewal of the Child Health Research Career Development Award in the Department of Pediatrics at Yale Univesity School of Medicine. The goal of the Yale Child Health Research Career Development Program (YCHRCDP) funded by the NICHD award continues to be the advancement of research in child health by preparing physician-scientists for independent research careers in academic and investigative pediatrics. Initially fnded as a P30 award in 1990, over the past 15 years the YCHRCDP has fostered the career development of 38 physician-scientists studying fundamental processes of organ development and childhood disease. Forty percent (40%) of the awardees have been principal investigators on R- or U-level funding from the NIH. Thirty-nine percent (39%) of the awardees have been women, and the rate and timing of independent NIH funding and academic promotion for these female physician-scientists are equivalent to their male counterparts. More than 30 Yale faculty have served as mentors for YCHRCDP awardees, and 70% of our appointees have trained in departments other than pediatrics, including Genetics, Immunobiology; Internal Medicine, Pathology, and Physiology. In keeping with the internal maturation of our program over the past 15 years, our current goal is to expand the impact of the YCHRCDP in five areas: (1) to enlarge the scope of our career development curriculum by incorporating new mmentoring initiatives both within the Department and beyond our walls; (2) to continue to emphasize role models for female physician-scientists (50% of our Internal Advisory Board and 21% of proposed mentors) and to extend this paradigm to minorities (12% of awardees); (3) to expand support for the early years of physician-scientists' careers by integrating financial resources from the Department of Pediatrics, the School of Medicine, and NICHD; (4) to enhance the effectiveness of the YCHRCDP by continuing to strengthen our alliances with research programs of relevance to child health that are sited in other departments; and (5) to forge new linkages with supra-departmental career development programs (Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholars Program and Investigative Medicine Program) at the Yale School of Medicine, thereby enlarging the scope of career development opportunities for our scholars.
