Multidisciplinary Neonatal Training Grant

描述(由申请人提供)：此申请请求支持2个医生培训职位，为二年级和三年级的新生儿研究员，这将使他们发展所需的知识，理解和技能，追求独立的研究事业的学术新生儿。将为学员提供两条学术研究途径，每个途径将与包含必修课程作业的特定课程相关联：第一途径：基础研究，医生-科学家-(实验室研究导师和研究生基础科学研究)；第二途径：临床研究，医生-科学家(面向患者的翻译研究)，包括硕士课程。这一计划及其两个研究轨道位于新生儿学部和小Jean&George Brumley，Jr.新生儿研究所。教职员工包括6名临床研究医生-科学家(3名硕士)；2名基础研究医生-科学家；7名专注于基础科学研究的博士。NPRI包括128名研究人员，其中75%由NIH资助，并利用杜克大学的学术实力和深度，支持在发育生物学、临床科学和卫生保健研究方面的正式培训。NPRI内部的外部资助研究目前支持四个广泛的研究领域：1)早期心面部发育；2)新生儿肺发育/修复；3)发育神经和干细胞生物学；以及胎儿和新生儿的神经损伤和修复；以及4)与NICHD新生儿研究网络、杜克临床研究所、普拉特工程学院和基因组科学与政策研究所合作的转化型临床新生儿研究。申请的资金将为新生儿研究金的研究年限提供关键支持，该研究金目前在杜克大学医学中心培训8名研究员。独特的研究培训计划及其单独的轨道将提供严格的结构化学习体验，以满足个别研究员的需求和兴趣，每个研究员在一名资深科学家的指导下工作。在该项目的5名T-32实习毕业生中，所有人都是学术机构的教员(杜克大学3人，休斯顿大学1人，加州大学欧文分校1人)。其中三人完成了硕士课程，两人获得了联邦资助(K23和AHRQ)。 公共卫生相关性：该应用程序将支持2个新生儿研究员的培训职位，使他们有时间发展知识、理解和技能，以追求学术新生儿学的独立研究生涯。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests support for 2 physician training positions for 2nd and 3rd year neonatology fellows, which will allow them to develop the knowledge, understanding and skills needed to pursue independent research careers in academic neonatology. Two academic research paths will be available to trainees, and each track will be associated with a specific curriculum containing required course work: Track I: Basic Research, Physician-Scientist - (laboratory research mentorship and graduate basic science studies); and Track II: Clinical Research, Physician-Scientist (patient-oriented translational research) including Masters programs. This program with its two research tracks resides within the Division of Neonatology and the Jean & George Brumley, Jr. Neonatal-Research Institute. The Division faculty includes 6 clinical research physician-scientists (3 are Masters trained); 2 basic research physician-scientists; and 7 PhD focused on basic science research. The NPRI includes 128 investigators, 75% of whom are NIH funded, and draws upon the academic strength and depth found across Duke University needed to support formal training in developmental biology, clinical sciences and health care research. Extramurally funded research within the NPRI currently supports 4 broad areas of investigation: 1) early cardiocraniofacial development; 2) neonatal lung development/repair; 3) developmental neural and stem cell biology; and neural injury and repair in the fetus and neonate; and 4) translational clinical neonatal research in conjunction with the NICHD Neonatal Research Network, the Duke Clinical Research Institute, the Pratt School of Engineering, and Institute for Genome Science and Policy. The requested funds will provide critical support for the research years of the neonatology fellowship, which currently trains 8 fellows at Duke University Medical Center. The unique research training program with its separate Tracks will provide a rigorous structured learning experience tailored to the needs and interests of the individual fellow, each fellow working with a senior scientist serving as mentor. Of the 5 T-32 trainee graduates of this program, all are faculty at academic institutions (3 at Duke, 1 at UT-Houston, and 1 at UC-Irvine). Three have completed a Masters program and two have received federal funding (K23 and AHRQ). PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This application will support 2 training positions for neonatology fellows, allowing them time to develop the knowledge, understanding and skills to pursue independent research careers in academic neonatology.
