Pediatric Critical Care and Trauma Scientist Development Program (PCCTSDP)

描述（由申请人提供）：这是一份继续将儿科重症监护科学家发展计划（PCCSDP）作为国家计划（非机构）的提案，以支持儿科重症监护年轻教师的研究职业发展。该计划由RFA扩展到包括儿科创伤外科，并更名为儿科重症监护和创伤科学家发展计划（PCCTSDP）。PCCTSDP的目标是增加在儿科重症监护和创伤外科方面训练有素，成功资助和可持续发展的医师科学家的数量，他们将进行转化研究，以提高对重症和创伤的病理生理学和临床管理的科学理解，重点是重症和损伤对儿童和家庭的长期影响。在该计划的前9年里，已有31位学者被任命，14位获得了自己的K08或K23奖，2位获得了R01奖。PCCTSDP获奖者（学者）由国家咨询委员会（NAC）选出，该委员会由儿科主任，杰出科学家和来自重症监护学会的联络人组成

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a proposal to continue the Pediatric Critical Care Scientist Development Program (PCCSDP) as a national program (not institutional) to support research career development for young faculty in pediatric critical care. The program is extended by the RFA to include pediatric trauma surgery, and is renamed the Pediatric Critical Care and Trauma Scientist Development Program (PCCTSDP). The goal of the PCCTSDP is to increase the number of highly trained, successfully funded and sustainable physician scientists in pediatric critical care and trauma surgery, who will do translational research to enhance the scientific understanding of the pathophysiology and clinical management of critical illness and trauma, with emphasis on long-term consequences of critical illness and injury for children and families. In the first nine years of the program, 31 Scholars have been appointed, 14 have obtained their own K08 or K23 awards, and 2 have received R01 awards. The PCCTSDP awardees (Scholars) are selected by a National Advisory Committee (NAC) consisting of pediatric department chairs, outstanding scientists, and liaisons from the Society of Critical Care Medicine, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the American Board of Pediatrics. Applicants will identify an outstanding scientific mentor, potentially at an institution separate from their fellowship training, and will be sponsored by their department chair. Each Scholar will spend 2 years in an intense research training environment, (usually in a basic science laboratory, but research selection is not limited to basic science), with a minimum of 75% protection from non-research responsibilities (Phase I). In the subsequent 3 years (for a total of 5 years), Scholars must be financially supported by their institutions and extramural funds, and must continue to have at least 50% - 75% protection to transition into independent investigators (Phase II). PCCTSDP conducts an annual scientific retreat during which Scholars will interact with the NAC members and NIH staff, present their scientific work, discuss their career development plans and progress, and participate in selected workshops on faculty development, grant writing, mock grant reviews, and other rele- vant topics. Each Scholar will submit a K or R award proposal before the end of the second year of support. By providing extended training and protected time to develop outstanding skills in these young faculties, the PCCTSDP will continue to increase the pool of skilled investigators in pediatric critical care and trauma.
