Training in Pediatric Endocrinology/Diabetes Research

描述（由申请人提供）： 耶鲁大学医学院正在寻求成为糖尿病培训的卓越中心之一，这将使聪明的年轻儿科医生能够作为糖尿病的独立研究者在儿科内分泌学领域建立学术生涯。在这个T32申请中，我们要求每年2名博士后奖学金，为期5年。耶鲁大学拥有一系列令人印象深刻的资源，将支持这一计划，包括一个DERC，单独的儿童和成人GCRC，JDRF中心的研究hypothyroidism，儿科药理学研究单位，儿童健康研究中心，小鼠代谢表型中心，核磁共振中心和一个新的450，000平方米。足部临床科学研究机构。项目总监和培训教师是备受尊敬和富有成效的调查人员，他们拥有广泛的同行评审赠款支持，为学员的项目提供资金。我们的教师有着广泛的合作和培养博士后研究员的杰出记录的悠久历史。博士后学员可以选择五个主要的研究培训领域（T1和T2 DM的病理生理学，低血糖/神经生物学，糖尿病的免疫生物学和糖尿病的行为/心理社会方面），每个领域有4-6名初级和次级导师。我们的教育活动的核心是调查医学计划，提供了严格的必修课和选修课沿着两个途径，即，以病人和疾病为导向。成功完成课程工作和论文项目将允许学员获得博士学位。是由医学部颁发的非博士生的替代课程候选人包括罗伯特·伍德约翰逊临床学者计划提供的定量临床流行病学课程和耶鲁儿童健康研究中心提供的青年研究者系列研讨会。三个糖尿病研究培训卓越中心组成的“联盟”将使我们能够在培训工作和创新招聘计划方面进行合作。此外，ADA前主席兼Morehouse医学院即将上任的校长James Gavin博士表示，他有兴趣将他的学校与我们的非裔美国人学员招聘计划联系起来。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Yale University School of Medicine is seeking to be one of the centers of excellence in diabetes training that will allow bright young pediatricians to establish academic careers in pediatric endocrinology as independent investigators in diabetes. In this T32 application, we are requesting 2 post-doctoral fellowship stipends per year for 5 years. Yale has an impressive array of resources that will support this program, including a DERC, separate Children and Adult GCRC's, JDRF Center for the Study of Hypoglycemia, Pediatric Pharmacology Research Unit, Child Health Research Center, Mouse Metabolic Phenotyping Center, NMR Center and a new 450,000 sq. foot clinical science research facility. The Program Director and training faculty are highly respected and productive investigators with extensive peer-reviewed grant support to fund trainees' projects. Our faculty has a long history of extensive collaborations and an outstanding track record in training post-doctoral fellows. Post-doctoral trainees can choose between five major areas of research training (pathophysiology of T1 and T2 DM, hypoglycemia/neurobiology, immunobiology of diabetes and behavioral/psychosocial aspects of diabetes) and 4-6 primary and secondary mentors within each area. A centerpiece of our educational activities is the Investigative Medicine Program that provides a rigorous curriculum of required and elective courses along two pathways, i.e., patient-oriented and disease-oriented. Successful completion of course work and thesis project will allow trainees to receive a Ph.D. that is awarded through the Department of Medicine. Alternative curricula for non-Ph.D. candidates include the Quantitative Clinical Epidemiology course offered by the Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholars Program and the Seminar Series for Young Investigators offered by the Yale Child Health Research Center. The formation of a "consortium" of three centers of excellence in diabetes research training will allow us to collaborate in training efforts as well as in innovative recruitment plans. Moreover, Dr. James Gavin, former President of the ADA and incoming President of Morehouse School of Medicine, has indicated his interest in linking his school to our program in the recruitment of African American trainees.
