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。辛辛那提儿童医院医学中心（CCHMC）的这个长期的职业发展项目，旨在指导初级教师过渡到儿科医学的独立研究生涯，现在已经是它的第20个年头了，这是我们的第四次续期申请。我们的CHRCDA已经支持了我们机构的42位CHRCDA学者，其中许多人已经成为全国学术儿科的领导者。总的来说，我们的学者已经发表了1400多篇同行评审的出版物，并获得了超过8100万美元的直接拨款和41项NIH R01拨款。CCHMC CHRCDA项目与我们其他创新的、已建立的研究培训项目协同作用，包括宝洁学者项目和美国国立卫生研究院临床和转化科学奖（CTSA），特别是其KL2部分，以及一系列美国国立卫生研究院资助的研究项目。与这些项目相比，我们的CHRCDA项目专门针对儿科医生，并具有在基础、转化和临床研究领域提供广泛学科和专业培训和职业发展的优势。我们的CHRCDA项目识别和招募有前途的年轻儿科教师。CCHMC医师科学家通常完成3到5年的研究培训和职业发展，并由1名或更多的高级教师提供指导。对于我们的CHRCDA学者来说，通常2年的课程是由CHRCDA资助的，我们杰出的、高度忠诚的CHRCDA主要教师导师提供的科学指导是额外的课程、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项目，在首席研究员、项目主任和行政核心的指导下，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，作为儿科内科科学家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，监督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，优先考虑来自

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.
