Pediatric Respiratory Research Training

 描述（由申请人提供）：对致力于研究儿科呼吸系统疾病的科学家有着深刻的需求。彩虹婴儿与儿童医院（RBCH）、凯斯西储大学（CWRU）和勒纳研究所（LRI）的呼吸研究项目都位于克利夫兰市中心，几十年来一直在培养呼吸研究方面的领导者。这一成功的核心是医学博士之间充满活力的互动文化。博士学位。's.在这里，我们提出了一个新的培训计划，高度集中在准备医学博士。博士学位。是专为研究小儿呼吸系统疾病的成功人士准备的我们的愿景是招募一群聪明，有创造力，多样化的毕业生，他们共同对儿童呼吸系统疾病感兴趣。该计划将产生科学家谁是1）配备了最新的技能; 2）能够创新和独立;和3）准备发现新的范例，可以改善儿童呼吸系统疾病的结果。为了实现这一愿景，我们将选择大约三个医学博士。或者博士学位。每年从一个庞大的，故意多样化的候选人库。虽然主要的人才库将是来自RBCH的儿科肺病研究员，以及新的博士学位。除了招募CWRU和LRI的导师计划外，我们还将征求儿科学，儿科重症监护，儿科睡眠和呼吸病理学研究生学员的申请，他们有强烈的动机从事儿科呼吸研究。候选人将不会被选中，将更适合另一个培训计划。最好的申请人将与18个NIH资助的，非常成功的导师中的一个或多个在与整体重点相关的特定主题中相匹配。每位受训者将有一个科学监督委员会，由医学博士和博士学位。他将与导师一起确保受训者按照项目要求的进度提交数据、发表论文和提交赠款;完成项目要求的所有课程;并建立在儿科呼吸研究领域取得成功所需的专业知识。该计划的监督将受到严格的内部指导委员会审查和高度重视的学术领导人的外部审查委员会的监督。新战略将招聘少数族裔和其他弱势群体候选人，以确保多样性。我们将确保对该计划的投资在儿科呼吸研究事业中获得回报。(End摘要）

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): There is a profound need for scientists devoted to careers studying pediatric respiratory disease. The respiratory research programs at Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital (RBCH), Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) and the Lerner Research Institute (LRI), all in central Cleveland, have trained leaders in respiratory research for decades. Central to this success has been a culture of vibrant interaction between M.D.'s and Ph.D.'s. Here, we propose a new training program highly focused on preparing M.D.'s and Ph.D.'s for successful careers studying pediatric respiratory disease. Our vision is to recruit a bright, creative, diverse group of graduates who have in common an interest in respiratory disorders in children. The program will produce scientists who are 1) equipped with the latest skills; 2) capable of innovation and of independence; and 3) prepared to discover new paradigms that could improve the outcomes of children with respiratory disorders. To accomplish this vision, we will select approximately three M.D.'s or Ph.D.'s per year from a large, deliberately diverse pool of candidates. While the primary pool will be Pediatric Pulmonology fellows from RBCH, as well as new Ph.D. recruits to mentors' programs at CWRU and LRI, we will also solicit applications from postgraduate trainees in neonatology, pediatric critical care, pediatric sleep and respiratory pathobiology who are strongly motivated to pursue a career in pediatric respiratory research. Candidates will not be selected that would be better suited to another training program. The best of the applicants will be matched with one or more of 18 NIH-funded, highly successful mentors in specific themes relevant to the overall focus. Each trainee will have a scientific oversight committee composed of both M.D.'s and Ph.D.'s who will, with the mentor(s), ensure that the trainee presents data, publishes papers and submits grants at the pace required by the program; accomplishes all the coursework required by the program; and builds the repertoire of expertise required for a successful career in pediatric respiratory research. Oversight of the program will be supervised both by a stringent Internal Steering Committee review and an External Review Committee of highly regarded academic leaders. New strategies will recruit minority and otherwise disadvantaged candidates to ensure diversity. We will ensure that the investment in the program pays dividends in pediatric respiratory research careers. (End of Abstract)
