Child Neurologist Career Development Program (CNCDP)

项目摘要/摘要 这是一项建议，为5岁以下的儿科神经科医生提供强化的、有指导的研究培训。 在完成儿科和儿科神经病学的临床培训数年后，谁想继续在 学术/研究职位。该计划的名称将是儿童神经科医生职业发展 将由NIH/NINDS赞助的计划(CNCDP)，其意图是CNCDP将取代 为儿科神经科医生提供的类似的指导性研究计划，称为神经科学学术 发展奖(NSADA)。NSADA计划自1992年以来一直在运作，它促进了 在学术职位上教育了许多儿童神经科医生，但不到一半的毕业生 NSADA计划已经成为独立职业发展补助金的PI，如K08， K23或R01奖项或继续担任独立临床医生-科学家的角色。CNCDP的目的是 纠正NSADA的缺点，最重要的变化将是CNCDP将成为 统一的国家方案，由一个指导委员会和一个国家咨询委员会由一个独立的主管机构领导 (NAC)，简称他全国保卫人民大会领导层。这一计划与NSADA计划不同，在NSADA计划中，有九个 单独的NIH奖项的个人PI直接向NIH-NINDS报告。新的CNCDP结构将包括 两层辅导：在奖学金获得者所在机构的导师团队和来自国家 全国保卫人民大会领导层。根据CNCDP计划，个别儿科神经科医生和指导小组将 能够向美国任何一家接受过儿科神经学培训的学术机构申请CNCDP支持 程序。CNCDP指导委员会将与潜在候选人合作，寻找合适的导师 并使用与NIH K08奖相同的表格申请CNCDP支持。单独的NAC，包括 国内和国际儿科神经科学领域的领导者将审查这些申请，并从 每年最有价值的资助项目。在5年的时间里，该项目总共计划了30名学员。 目前的NSADA学者有一个过渡计划来完成他们的指导性研究。成功 申请者将提交一个将科研培训与临床培训联系起来的培训计划 在儿科神经科的职业生涯，使他们不是分开的，而是融为一体的。该计划的科学价值 导师的素质也将出类拔萃。该计划将包括实验设计方面的培训， 生物统计学和负责任的研究工作，但通常不包括长期的教学工作， 会有损于学者的研究和指导。那么全国保卫人民大会领导层将继续 通过对学者所在机构的首次现场访问，经常参加网络研讨会，参与学者的指导 与学者和指导委员会的会议，以及每年两天的静修会议，学者们在会上 向CNCDP领导层和外部专家介绍他们的工作。CNCDP领导班子将严格执行 学者必须受到保护才能在75%的时间里进行研究的规定。

Project Summary / Abstract This is a proposal to provide intensive, mentored research training for pediatric neurologists who are within 5 years after finishing their clinical training in pediatrics and pediatric neurology, and who want to continue in an academic/research position. The name of the program will be the Child Neurologist Career Development Program (CNCDP) that will be sponsored by the NIH/NINDS and it is intended that CNCDP will replace a similar program of mentored research for pediatric neurologists called the Neuroscience Academic Development Award (NSADA). The NSADA program has been operating since 1992, and it has fostered the education of numerous child neurologists in academic positions, but less than half of the graduates of the NSADA program have gone on to become PI's of independent career development grants such as the K08, K23 or R01 awards or continued in the role of independent clinician-scientists. The CNCDP is intended to correct the shortcomings of the NSADA, and the most important change will be that the CNCDP will be a unified national program directed by a single PI with a Steering Committee and a National Advisory Committee (NAC), referred to as he CNCDP leadership. This plan is different from the NSADA program in which nine individual PI's of separate NIH awards reported directly to NIH-NINDS. The new CNCDP structure will include two layers of mentorship: a mentorship team at the scholar's home institution and mentorship from the national CNCDP leadership. Under the CNCDP plan, individual pediatric neurologists and mentorship teams will be able to apply for CNCDP support from any academic institution in the US with a pediatric neurology training program. The CNCDP Steering Committee will work with prospective candidates to find appropriate mentors and to apply for CNCDP support using the same form as for the NIH K08 Award. A separate NAC that includes national and international leaders in pediatric neuroscience will review the applications and choose up to 6 of the most meritorious for funding per year. Over 5 years, a total of 30 trainees are planned for the program. There is a transition plan for current NSADA scholars to complete their mentored research. Successful applicants to the program will present a training program that links scientific research training with a clinical career in pediatric neurology so that they are not separate but integrated. The scientific merit of the program and the quality of the mentors will be outstanding. The program will include training in experimental design, biostatistics and the responsible conduct of research, but generally will not include prolonged didactic work that can detract from the scholar's research and mentorship. Then the CNCDP leadership will continue to participate in the scholar's mentorship through an initial site visit to the scholar's institution, frequent webinar meetings with the scholar and mentoring committee, and a yearly two day retreat meeting in which scholars present their work to the CNCDP leadership and outside experts. CNCDP leadership will strictly enforce the rule that scholars must be protected to do research for 75% of their time.
