Graduate Training Program in Neonatal-Perinatal Translational Research

描述(申请人提供)：这是一个申请续期的机构培训资助，“研究生研究培训的新生儿翻译研究。”加州大学旧金山分校(UCSF)儿科学系的这一跨学科项目的目标是为致力于学术生涯的医学博士或医学博士或博士学位儿科医生提供全面的博士后培训和指导职业发展，并在“基础实验室-人类学科(T1)”或“证据-实践(T2)”研究中发挥重要作用。该计划源于NICHD资助的前30年联合培训计划(产妇-胎儿和新生儿-围产期医学)，在该计划中，70%的毕业生仍然是各自领域的富有成效的研究人员和学术领袖。这项应用侧重于正在接受培训的新生儿医生，提供与人类发育和新生儿疾病相关的神经科学、干细胞生物学、流行病学和临床调查方面的新的和增强的培训机会。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；(5)持续审查和评价。该计划为总共三名研究员提供为期两年的高级研究培训。34名非常合格的教职员工承诺为这个项目提供研究导师的支持，NIH总共提供了超过8300万美元的支持。所有研究员都将参加研究、科学写作和讲课艺术方面的负责任行为课程。研究员和研究导师决定特定研究领域的额外课程工作。一个指导委员会支持研究员制定和监测朝着研究和职业目标的进展。项目咨询委员会由著名的加州大学旧金山分校研究人员、积极的导师和一名杰出的外部审查员组成，负责对所有研究员和项目进行年度评估。

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.
