CHOP Institutional Training in Pediatric Research

描述(由申请人提供)：CHOP提出了一个明确的目标，通过提供他们建立研究计划所需的研究经验和工具，增加对学术医学职业感兴趣的儿科小组专家的数量。我们提出了一个多年研究培训计划，前两年由这笔培训拨款支持，并结合了1)各种临床和实验室研究领域的指导性研究培训机会；2)在宾夕法尼亚大学或通过非现场强化培训课程进行结构化课程工作的机会；3)仔细选择和监督个别受训者的进度、指导和培训计划的总体成功；以及4)参加CHOP核心课程和斯托克斯研讨会系列，强调对学术生涯成功至关重要的技能、成就和理解。该计划的最高原则是，培训需要针对个人量身定做。项目主任将在临床专业培训期间与感兴趣的研究员会面，帮助他们根据他们的兴趣、需求和背景选择研究领域和导师，并考虑哪种类型的教育机会，包括进入正式的学位授予计划，最能解决他们在科学或方法方面的任何不足。个性化计划将在正式进入研究培训计划的前一年形成，但也将受到适当修改的持续审查。培训人员由46名来自不同专业领域的导师组成，他们作为导师和富有成效的研究人员有着良好的记录，曾成功竞争NIH和其他资金，并相互互动。该计划可以在广泛的基础和临床研究领域为研究员提供研究培训，我们的26名导师是医学博士，他们不仅是导师，还将成为榜样。考虑到CHOP拥有大量和强大的次级专业研究员，预计进入这一项目的竞争将非常激烈。该计划将以CHOP作为儿科学术机构的优势为基础，拥有一批杰出的子专业研究员、具有尖端研究项目的经验丰富的导师、得到良好支持和资源丰富的研究环境，以及久经考验的研究培训传统。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The CHOP proposes a program with the explicit goal of increasing the number of pediatric subspecialists who are interested in careers in academic medicine by providing the research experiences and tools they need to build research programs. We propose a multi-year research training program, the first two years of which are supported by this training grant and which combines 1) mentored research training opportunities in a wide variety of clinical and laboratory research areas; 2) the opportunity for structured course work at the University of Pennsylvania or through off-site intensive training courses; 3) careful selection and monitoring of progress of individual trainees, mentoring, and the overall success of the training program; and 4) participation at the CHOP Core Course and Stokes Seminar Series, which provides an emphasis on skills, accomplishments and understanding critical to success in an academic career. The paramount principle of the program will be that the training needs to be tailored to the individual. The Program Directors will meet with interested fellows in the clinical years of subspecialty training to help them select a research area and mentor according to their interests, needs and background and to consider what type of educational opportunities, including entering a formal degree-granting program, would best address any inadequacies in their scientific or methodological repertoire. The individualized program will be shaped in the year before formal entry into the research training program but will also be subject to continuing review with appropriate modification. The training faculty consists of 46 mentors from a wide range of specialty areas who have strong records as mentors and productive investigators, who have competed successfully for NIH and other funding, and who have interacted with each other. The program can offer fellows research training in a wide range of basic and clinical research areas, and 26 of our mentors are M.D.s and will serve not only as mentors but also as role models. It is expected that entry into this program will be highly competitive given the large and strong pool of subspecialty fellows at CHOP. The program will build upon CHOP's strengths as a pediatric academic institution with an outstanding pool of subspecialty fellows, experienced mentors with cutting edge research programs, a well supported and resource rich research environment, and a proven tradition of research training.
