CELL AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY OF DEVELOPMENT

该计划将支持儿科的过渡培训 科学家专注于发育生物学的某些方面。 周围 华盛顿大学儿科系 医学院，儿童医院和医疗中心，以及 弗雷德哈钦森癌症研究中心建议开发一个儿童健康 研究中心结合高级研究人员的专业知识， 儿科系与他们的同事和合作者在 华盛顿大学系统。 该计划的目标是 识别、鼓励和支持有前途的年轻儿科医生， 帮助他们获得所需的技能和经验， 开始独立的调查生涯 在每个研究地点， 已指定一名项目联合主任，他是内部的高级科学家， 儿科系 由于实验室研究设施 如果不是集中的，一个单一的共享核心设施将无法充分利用 每个机构都有广泛的资源和设施。 我们建议的共享核心设施的目标是促进获得 将初级调查员纳入现有核心服务，并提供独特的 设施，作为研究的重点。 重点放在 用于生产转基因小鼠的新的显微注射设备， 在共聚焦显微镜的额外能力的发展， 除了现有的其他技术和设施外， 作为购买的核心服务。 将有两个主要来源 我们自己的奖学金计划和我们的小说 努力加强对少数民族的征聘。 将特别强调 来培养女性儿科科学家的事业。 来自该计划的支持。将是保证足够的桥梁 保护时间为儿科科学家成功申请 FIRST和类似的奖项，并最终为NIH个人研究 赠款。

This program will support the transitional training of pediatric scientists focused on certain aspects of developmental biology. Around this theme, the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Washington School of Medicine, the Children's Hospital and Medical Center, and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center propose to develop a Child Health Research Center combining the expertise of senior investigators in the Department of Pediatrics with their colleagues and collaborators in the University of Washington system. The objectives of this program are to identify, encourage, and support promising young pediatricians by facilitating their acquisition of the skills and experience required to initiate independent investigative careers. At each research site, a program co-director has been assigned who is a senior scientist within the Department of Pediatrics. Since laboratory research facilities are not centralized, a single, shared core facility would not take full advantage of the extensive resources and facilities at each institution. The goals of our proposed shared core facilities are to facilitate access of the junior investigators to existing core services and provide unique facilities to serve as a focal point for research. Emphasis is placed on new microinjection facilities for the production of transgenic mice and the development of additional capability in confocal microscopy in addition to other techniques and facilities which are available and accessible as purchased core services. There will be two major sources of applicants to the program, our own fellowship programs and our novel efforts to enhance recruitment of minorities. Particular emphasis will be paid to nurturing the careers of female pediatrician scientists. Support from this program. will be the bridge that assures sufficient protected time for pediatrician scientists to successfully apply for FIRST and similar awards and eventually for NIH individual research grants.
