K12 In Diabetes (KIDS)

描述（由申请人提供）：加州大学弗朗西斯科分校（UCSF）被誉为世界上最强大的健康科学校园之一，部分原因是生物医学（实验室），转化和临床研究的优秀培训计划。该应用程序设想了一个儿科内分泌学家的糖尿病研究职业发展计划，称为KIDS（K12糖尿病）。我们的应用程序的首要目标是提供优秀的，有重点的，结构化的，指导和培养的职业发展，培训和支持，为儿童内分泌学的初级教师谁致力于追求1型糖尿病（T1 DM）研究的学术生涯。我们提出的计划建立在我们的儿科内分泌科的成功和经验，与长期的T32奖学金计划，和我们高度重视的糖尿病中心，与糖尿病教育和研究中心（DERC）。这些整合良好的中心，拥有大量的基础设施和资源，将提高我们的学者在独立学术职业道路上取得成功的机会的广度和深度，并为T1 DM领域做出重大贡献。KIDS学者将由多学科咨询委员会通过当地招聘和全国搜索进行选择。根据研究重点，学者将被整合到一个强大的，预先存在的临床和转化科学研究所（CTSI）与相关的K12计划，或在生物医学科学的可比程序。他们将根据他们以前的经验和职业目标进行生物医学，转化或临床研究的培训。学者们将制定一个个性化的职业道路，由一个指导团队仔细监督，建立从教学培训在相关研究领域的基础，并制定和执行他们的具体研究项目。学者们将有机会接触到一组在T1 DM研究的各个方面都非常有成就的研究人员，他们致力于担任学者导师。聚集的教师导师有形成互动，协作网络在UCSF糖尿病社区（及以外）的历史，这有助于为KID学者的多学科团队的发展。KIDS方案的具体目标是：1.在他们的学术生涯早期招募一批优秀和多样化的学者（包括种族和科学），并在他们成为T1 DM研究中强大的独立研究员的最初几年中支持他们。 2.提供优秀的，多学科的，生物医学，翻译，和/或临床研究培训与其他大学资源，如CTSI和相关的临床和转化科学培训计划（CTST）的合作伙伴关系，作为学者在T1 DM追求学术生涯。 3.为每位学者提供学术“孵化器”，提供丰富而持久的指导经验，并通过以下方式促进科学职业发展：a）将学者与来自不同学科的经验丰富的指导团队配对; B）确保学者融入加州大学旧金山分校的生物医学、临床和转化研究项目; c）通过在对未来成功至关重要的相关核心学科提供综合学术培训来教育学者; d）通过提供科学和行政基础设施以及核心方法专家的“无缝”访问来支持学者研究; e）确保学者在进行研究和研究合规的道德方面受到培训。 4.在UCSF和全国各地培养下一代儿童糖尿病和T1 DM研究的导师和领导者。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) is renowned as one of the strongest health sciences campuses in the world, in part due to the outstanding training programs in biomedical (laboratory-based), translational, and clinical research. This application envisions a Career Development Program in Diabetes Research for Pediatric Endocrinologists, called KIDs (K12 In Diabetes). The overriding goal of our application is to provide outstanding, focused, structured, mentored, and nurturing career development, training, and support for junior faculty in Pediatric Endocrinology who are committed to pursuing academic careers in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) research. Our proposed program builds on the successes and experiences of our Pediatric Endocrinology Division, with a longstanding T32 fellowship program, and our highly regarded Diabetes Center, with a Diabetes Education and Research Center (DERC). These well integrated centers, with substantial infrastructure and resources, will enhance the breadth and depth of opportunities for our Scholars to be successful in their independent academic career paths and to contribute significantly to the field of T1DM. KIDs Scholars will be selected by a multi-disciplinary Advisory Board through local recruitment as well as a national search. Depending on research focus, the Scholars will be integrated into either a robust, pre-existing Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) with an associated K12 program, or comparable programs in the biomedical sciences. They will pursue training in biomedical, translational or clinical research, depending on their prior experiences and career goals. The Scholars will develop an individualized career path with careful oversight from a Mentoring Team, establishing a foundation from didactic training in relevant research areas, and development and execution of their specific research projects. The Scholars will have access to a diverse group of highly accomplished investigators in various aspects of T1DM research, who are committed to serving as Scholar Mentors. The assembled Faculty Mentors have a history of forming interactive, collaborative networks in the UCSF diabetes community (and beyond), which lends itself to the development of multi-disciplinary teams for the KIDs Scholars. The specific aims of the KIDs Program are: 1. To recruit a superb and diverse (both ethnically and scientifically) group of Scholars early in their academic careers and to support them in their first few years beyond fellowship as they become strong independent investigatorsin T1DM research. 2. To provide outstanding, multidisciplinary, biomedical, translational, and/or clinical research training in partnership with other university resources, such as theCTSI and associated Clinical and Translational Science Training Program (CTST), as Scholars pursue academic careers in T1DM. 3. To provide an academic "incubator" for each Scholar that provides a rich and lasting mentored experience and fosters scientific career development through: a) pairing Scholars with experienced Mentoring Teams from diverse disciplines; b) assuring Scholar integration into biomedical, clinical and translational research programs at UCSF; c) educating Scholars by providing integrated scholastic training in relevant core disciplines critical to future success; d) supporting Scholar research by providing "seamless" accessibility to scientific and administrative infrastructure and core methodology experts; e) ensuring that Scholars are trained in the ethics of conducting research and research compliance. 4. To develop the next generation of mentors and leaders in Pediatric Diabetes and T1DMresearch at UCSF and around the country.
