Child Health Research Career Development Award (K12)

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请是我们的儿童健康研究职业发展奖（CHRCDA）的竞争性更新，该奖项为加强儿科的基础，转化和临床研究培训和职业发展建立了独特的卓越联系。这个长期的职业发展计划，旨在指导初级教师在他们过渡到独立的研究事业在儿科医学，现在是在其第二十个年头在辛辛那提儿童医院医疗中心（CCHMC），这是我们的第四次续约申请。我们的CHRCDA已经支持了42 CHRCDA学者在我们的机构，其中许多人已成为学术儿科的国家领导人。总的来说，我们的学者发表了1，400多篇同行评议的出版物，并获得了超过8100万美元的直接赠款资金和41项NIH R01赠款。CCHMC CHRCDA计划与我们的其他创新，建立的研究培训计划，包括宝洁学者计划和NIH临床和转化科学奖（CTSA），特别是其KL2组成部分，以及一系列NIH资助的研究计划协同作用。与这些计划相比，我们的CHRCDA计划专门针对儿科医生，并在基础，转化和临床研究的广泛学科和专业提供培训和职业发展的优势。我们的CHRCDA计划确定和招聘有前途的年轻儿科教师。CCHMC医生科学家通常完成3至5年的研究培训和职业发展的轨道，并从1个或多个高级教师提供指导。对于我们的CHRCDA学者，一般2年的这条赛道是由CHRCDA资助，并通过我们的特殊和高度承诺的CHRCDA小学教师导师提供科学指导是由额外的课程，研讨会和资源的补充。该计划的具体方面是根据学者的个人需求定制的，特别是他们以前的经验和目前的能力。目前的CCHMC CHRCDA计划，在主要研究者，项目主任及其行政核心的指导下，汇集了CCHMC和辛辛那提大学医学院（UCCOM）在儿科科学和指导方面具有卓越成就的研究人员，作为儿科医生科学家在向独立过渡期间的主要导师。该计划的行政核心确定候选人，监控我们的学者的整体职业发展，并为地方和国家层面的招聘工作提供支持，优先考虑从 代表性不足的群体。CCHMC CHRCDA计划的个人导师制，高级培训和有利于研究的环境和资源（如CCHMC研究核心）的组合是一个必要的和成功的战略，以提高我们的儿科医生科学家的研究生产力和独立性，因为他们开始他们的学术生涯在儿科医学。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is a competitive renewal for our Child Health Research Career Development Award (CHRCDA), which has established a unique nexus of excellence for the enhancement of basic, translational, and clinical research training and career development in pediatrics. This long-standing career development program, designed to guide junior faculty during their transition to independent research careers in pediatric medicine, is now in its twentieth year at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC), with this being our fourth renewal application. Our CHRCDA has supported 42 CHRCDA Scholars at our institution, many of whom have become national leaders in academic pediatrics. Collectively, our Scholars have published over 1,400 peer-reviewed publications and been awarded over $81 million in direct grant funding and 41 NIH R01 grants. The CCHMC CHRCDA Program synergizes with our other innovative, established programs for research training including the Procter Scholar Program and the NIH Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA), especially its KL2 component, as well as with an array of NIH-funded research programs. In contrast to these programs, our CHRCDA Program specifically targets pediatricians and has the advantage of offering training and career development across a wide array of disciplines and specialties in basic, translational, and clinical research. Our CHRCDA Program identifies and recruits promising young pediatric faculty. A CCHMC physician scientist typically completes a 3- to 5-year track in research training and career development and is provided mentorship from 1 or more senior faculty. For our CHRCDA Scholars, generally 2 years of this track are funded by the CHRCDA, and the provided scientific guidance by our exceptional and highly committed CHRCDA primary faculty mentors is complemented by additional curricula, seminars, and resources. Specific aspects of the Program are customized based on the individual needs of the Scholar, especially their prior experiences and current competencies. The present CCHMC CHRCDA Program, under direction of the Principal Investigator, Program Director, and its Administrative Core, has drawn together established investigators with excellence in pediatric science and mentoring at CCHMC and the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine (UCCOM) to serve as primary mentors for the pediatric physician scientists during their transition to independence. The Program's Administrative Core identifies candidates, monitors the overall career development of our Scholars, and provides support for recruitment efforts at local and national levels, prioritizing Scholar recruitment from underrepresented groups. The CCHMC CHRCDA Program's combination of individual mentorship, advanced training, and research-conducive environment and resources (e.g. CCHMC Research Cores) is a needed and successful strategy to enhance the research productivity and independence of our pediatric physician scientists as they begin their academic careers in pediatric medicine.
