证明（申请人提供）： 该计划的目的是准备高素质的个人与事先 为学术生涯提供发展医学培训，并提供 必要的技能，进行有关发展的独立研究 心血管和肺功能。自25年前成立以来， 该计划提供了一个深入的研究经验，旨在教 受训人员直接联合进行科学调查的基本原则 与既定的调查员。受训人员花2-3年时间参加所有 研究环境的活动，并直接监督一个 导师，主要负责一个项目的设计，执行， 展示、辩护和报告他们的研究。实验室组成 计划是从儿科系和许多基础科学 有着良好关系的部门。多学科 以儿科为中心的研究项目，包括 遗传学、病理学和生理学系加强了这种 互动，为训练增添了不少力量。除了激烈的 研究经验，该计划有一个核心课程，旨在提供 实验设计/分析、数据展示、资助的基本技能 准备和科学行为。大多数受训人员是从一个大的， 来自耶鲁大学和其他机构的竞争激烈的医生群体， 受过儿科培训，希望在基础研究方面有坚实的基础， 成为独立调查员。尽管该计划 强调对模范医生的研究培训，博士。寻求 在这些学科的博士后培训，强烈鼓励申请 并在最近的资助期间得到了支持。是敏感的 由于需要对许多申请人进行临床和研究培训， 儿科的三个临床部门，服务于此 补助金，已获得单独的（非NIH）资金，以支持先进的 临床训练因此，这项培训补助金所支持的时间受到保护 从临床责任，并致力于获取科学的 背景和研究技能。培训教师认为，这一赠款作为一个 在生物医学调查中启动职业发展的工具，而不是作为一个 完善科研培训机制。因此，受训人员 强烈鼓励申请进一步的校外支持，以扩大其 研究培训，他们已经相当成功地获得这样的 支持.预计受训人员最终将承担全时工作， 学术职位作为积极和有竞争力的独立调查员， 儿科心脏病发展相关领域。

DESCRIPION (provided by applicant): The aim of this program is to prepare highly qualified individuals with prior training in development medicine for an academic career and to provide necessary skills to conduct independent research related to Development of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Function. Since its initiation 25 years ago, the program has provided an in-depth research experience intended to teach fundamentals of scientific investigation by direct association of trainees with established investigators. Trainees spend 2-3 years participating in all activities of the research enviroment, and with direct supervision of a preceptor, take primary responsibility for a project and design, perform, present, defend and report their research. Laboratories comprising the program are from the Department of Pediatrics and many basic science departments with well-established associations. Many multidisciplinary research programs centered within the Department of Pediatrics and including the Departments of Genetics, Pathology, and Physiology enhance such interaction, adding much strength to the training. In addition to the intense research experience, the program has a core curriculum designed to provide basic skills in experimental design/analysis, data presentation, grant preparation, and scientific conduct. Most trainees are selected from a large, highly competitive pool of physicians from Yale and other institutions, who are trained in pediatrics and desire a strong foundation in basic research in order to become independent investigators. Although the program has emphasized research training for exemplary physicians, Ph.D.'s seeking postdoctoral training in these disciplines are strongly encouraged to apply and have been supported during recent funding periods. To be sensitive to the need for the clinical as well as research training of many applicants, the three clinical divisions of the Department of Pediatrics, which serve this grant, have secured separate (non-NIH) funding to support the advanced clinical training. Thus, time supported by this training grant is protected from clinical responsibilities and is devoted to the acquisition of scientific background and research skills. The training faculty views this grant as a vehicle to initiate career development in biomedical investigation, not as a mechanism to complete ftilly the research training. Thus, trainees are strongly encouraged to apply for further extramural support to extend their research training, and they have been quite successful in obtaining such support. It is expected that trainees will eventually assume full-time academic positions as active and competitive independent investigators in fields related to Pediatric Cardiopulmonary Development.
