Institutional Training for Pediatricians

描述（由申请人提供）：约翰霍普金斯大学儿科研究国家研究服务奖的目标是继续扩大未来在生物医学科学领域训练有素且富有成效的研究人员的数量，重点是儿科研究。首席研究员和指导委员会选择有才华的儿科医生和正在培训的儿科医生，他们对专注于研究的职业发展有浓厚的兴趣。约翰霍普金斯大学的研究环境非常丰富，与儿科学相关的资源包括小儿科、mckusick - nathan人类遗传学研究所、儿科肿瘤学部门、临床与转化研究所和基础生物学研究所。这些资源同样与高质量的培训和职业发展计划有关。相当数量的医学博士/博士。我们每年申请儿科住院医师项目，每年有几个人进入，并成为A轨道的候选人库。亚专科培养的博士后数量明显增加，其中大多数是完成亚专科临床培训的第一年，没有正式的和直接相关的研究培训项目。，竞投本奖项B或c组别的培训名额。在甄选学员时，我们将继续以学员的资历和兴趣为基础，同时亦以学员的潜力和致力应用科学研究方法防治儿童疾病为基础。这一过程将包括对文化多样性的探索。组织了一个指导委员会和一批优秀的导师，以促进未来儿科研究人员的培训和职业发展。指导计划旨在为学员提供强大、广泛和基础的知识基础，然后为翻译研究量身定制。培训计划包括在最有资格和最有成效的导师的指导下进行个性化和深入的研究。学员参加创新的教学课程，包括研究研讨会、期刊俱乐部和正式课程。受训者精通研究的道德行为，确定了实现科学目标的里程碑，并定期与导师、指导委员会和儿科学术界的领导人会面。该部门已经能够招募和留住高素质的候选人到其住院医师和研究金计划，并进一步发展他们的职业生涯作为教师，其中许多人是这个奖项的获得者。承诺的资金，以丰富儿科教师的发展强调继续在儿童研究机构的承诺。预期的结果是卓越的职业发展，理解和连贯地表达，以资助提案的形式，对儿童健康重要的研究，以及手稿写作能力。有了这些元素，我们致力于培养一支骨干的初级教师队伍，他们将发现和扩展科学知识，成为儿科研究领域的未来领导者。继续为该奖项提供资金将极大地促进这些成功的努力。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the Johns Hopkins University National Research Service Award for Pediatric Research is to continue to expand the future pool of well-trained and productive investigators in the biomedical sciences with a focus on Pediatric research. The Principal Investigator and the Steering Committee choose highly talented pediatricians and pediatricians- in-training who have a strong interest in career development focused on research. The research environment at Johns Hopkins University is rich with resources related to pediatrics in the Department of Pediatrics, the McKusick-Nathans Institute of Human Genetics, the Division of Pediatric Oncology, and the Institute of Clinical and Translational Research and the Institute of Basic Biological Studies. These resources are similarly associated with high quality training and career development programs. A substantial number of M.D./Ph.D.s apply to the Pediatric residency program yearly, with several entering each year, and become the pool of candidates for Track A. A significantly larger pool of postdoctoral fellows in subspecialty training, most of whom are completing their first year of subspecialty clinical training with no formal and directly relevant research training program, are available to compete for training slots on this award in Tracks B or C. Selection of Trainees will continue to be based not only on the individual's qualifications and interests, but also on a trainee's potential and commitment to applying scientific research methodology to combating childhood diseases. The process will include a search for cultural diversity. A Steering Committee and cadre of outstanding Mentors have been organized with a goal of fostering the training and career development of future Pediatric researchers. The mentoring program is structured to provide the Trainee with a strong, broad and fundamental knowledge base that is then individually tailored for translational research. The training program consists of individualized and intensive research under the direction of the most qualified and productive mentors. Trainees participate in an innovative didactic curriculum consisting of research seminars, journal club, and formal courses. Trainees are versed in the ethical conduct of research, have defined milestones for accomplishing scientific goals, and have regular meetings with Mentors, the Steering Committee and leaders in the academic pediatric community. The Department has been able to recruit and retain highly qualified candidates to its residency and fellowship programs and further their career development as faculty members, many of whom were recipients of this award. The committed funds to enrich Pediatric faculty development underscore the continued Institutional commitment to research in children. Anticipated outcomes are excellence in career development, understanding and coherently articulating, in the form of grant proposals, research that matters to children's health, and competency in manuscript writing. With these elements, we commit to nurturing a cadre of junior faculty that will discover and expand scientific knowledge and become future leaders in the field of pediatric research. Continuation of funding for this award will greatly facilitate these successful efforts.
