Graduate Training Program in Neonatal-Perinatal Translational Research

描述（由申请人提供）：这是一个申请机构培训补助金，“研究生研究培训新生儿转化研究。“加州大学弗朗西斯科分校（UCSF）儿科系这个跨学科项目的目标是为具有医学博士或医学博士，博士学位的儿科医生提供全面的博士后培训和指导职业发展，致力于学术生涯，在“基础实验室到人类学科（T1）”或“证据实践（T2）”研究中具有重要组成部分。该计划源于之前30年的NICHD资助的联合培训计划（母婴和新生儿围产期医学），其中>70%的毕业生仍然是各自领域的生产研究人员和学术领导者。这种应用程序的重点是在培训神经学家，提供新的和增强的培训机会，在神经科学，干细胞生物学，流行病学和临床调查有关人类发育和新生儿疾病。拟议培训的主要内容是：（1）有指导的研究经验，（2）科学课程工作，（3）职业发展讲习班，（4）跨学科经验和（5）持续审查和评价。该方案为总共三名研究员提供两年的高级研究培训。34名非常优秀的教师已经承诺作为研究导师为这个项目提供支持，这个项目已经得到了NIH超过8300万美元的支持。所有研究员将参加研究，科学写作和演讲艺术的负责任行为课程。研究员和研究导师确定在特定研究领域的额外课程工作。指导委员会支持研究员设定和监测研究和职业目标的进展。该计划咨询委员会，由著名的UCSF调查员，积极的导师和杰出的外部评审员，执行所有研究员和计划的年度评估。 公共卫生相关性：拟议中的培训计划将为下一代研究人员和领导者做好准备，以促进我们对影响早产儿和足月婴儿的疾病的理解和治疗。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is an application for renewal of the Institutional Training Grant, "Graduate Research Training in Neonatal Translational Research." The goal of this interdisciplinary Program of the Department of Pediatrics at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) is to provide comprehensive postdoctoral training and mentored career development for pediatricians with MD or MD, PhD degrees committed to an academic career with a strong component in "basic laboratory-to-human subjects (T1)" or "evidence-to-practice (T2)" research. This Program stems from a previous 30-year old NICHD-funded joint training program (Maternal-Fetal and Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine), in which >70% of graduates remain productive researchers and academic leaders in their respective fields. This application focuses on neonatologists-in-training, providing new and enhanced training opportunities in the neurosciences, stem cell biology, epidemiology and clinical investigation relevant to human development and neonatal disorders. The key elements of the proposed training are: (1) a mentored research experience, (2) scientific course work, (3) career development workshops, (4) interdisciplinary experiences and (5) continuing review and evaluation. The program provides two years of advanced research training for a total of three fellows. Thirty-four exceptionally well-qualified faculty members have committed their support as research mentors for this program that have combined NIH support of over 83 million dollars. All fellows will take courses in Responsible Conduct in Research, Scientific Writing and the Art of Lecturing. The fellow and research mentor determine additional course work in the specific field of research. A mentoring committee supports Fellows in setting and monitoring progress towards research and career goals. The Program Advisory Committee, comprising prominent UCSF investigators, active mentors and a distinguished External Reviewer, performs annual evaluation of all Fellows and the Program. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The proposed training program will prepare the next generation of researchers and leaders to make advances in our understanding and treatment of diseases afflicting preterm and full term infants.
