CHOP Institutional Training in Pediatric Research

描述（由申请人提供）：CHOP提出了一个项目，其明确目标是通过提供建立研究项目所需的研究经验和工具，增加对学术医学事业感兴趣的儿科专科医生的数量。我们提出了一个多年的研究培训计划，前两年由该培训基金支持，其中包括1)在各种临床和实验室研究领域的指导研究培训机会；2)有机会参加宾夕法尼亚大学的结构化课程或校外强化培训课程；3)仔细选择和监控个别受训者的进度，指导和培训计划的整体成功；4)参加CHOP核心课程和Stokes系列研讨会，这些课程强调在学术生涯中取得成功的关键技能，成就和理解。该计划的首要原则将是培训需要针对个人量身定制。项目主管将在亚专业培训的临床阶段与感兴趣的研究员会面，帮助他们根据自己的兴趣、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项目，最能解决他们在科学或方法上的不足。个性化的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。培训教师由46名导师组成，他们来自广泛的专业领域，他们作为导师和富有成效的研究人员有着良好的记录，他们成功地竞争了NIH和其他资金，并相互交流。该项目可以为研究员提供广泛的基础和临床研究领域的研究培训，我们的26位导师是医学博士，他们不仅是导师，而且是榜样。由于CHOP拥有庞大而强大的亚专业研究员，预计进入该计划的竞争将非常激烈。该计划将以CHOP作为儿科学术机构的优势为基础，拥有优秀的亚专业研究员，经验丰富的前沿研究项目导师，良好的支持和资源丰富的研究环境，以及成熟的研究培训传统。

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.
