CHOP Pediatric Scholars Program

费城儿童医院（CHOP）建议建立一个由NICHD赞助的 儿童健康研究职业发展奖（CHRCDA）K12计划。我们的目标是 增加具有严格背景的专科儿科医生的数量和效率 通过识别和培训有前途的儿科教师， 成功的医生科学家，并鼓励他们解决基本问题， 重视儿童的健康和疾病。我们计划的候选人将是CHOP教师 从我们的副专业研究员和全国搜索中任命。每个候选人将确定 一个未来的导师从一组29名导师，22名来自儿科，其他7 宾夕法尼亚大学（University of Pennsylvania，U of P）CHOP CHRCDA导师被选中 通过以下标准：严格的科学领域，杰曼儿童;成功的记录 研究互动和指导;强大的校外资金;和方案的平衡。 儿科学者将获得不少于两年的支持，以开展 正式的研究申请。他们可以随时使用一个全面的分子核心 并有充分机会在正式和非正式场合与其他高级和 初级调查员我们认为CHRCDA是我们CHRC的自然继承者， 非常成功地催化了能够进行 基础研究。在我们举办CHRC的10年中，我们选出了39名MAPS学者 来自11个儿科专科其中，85%留在学术界，72%继续 花费超过50%的时间在研究上，71%的人成功地获得了一个或多个 个人NIH赠款，包括16个RO 1或R29奖。我们的CHRCDA将建立在这一传统， 在CHOP的实力作为一个儿科学术机构与一个优秀的游泳池专科 研究员，经验丰富的导师与尖端的研究计划，一个良好的支持和资源- 丰富的研究环境，以及久经考验的研究培训传统9.

The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) proposes to establish an NICHD-sponsored Child Health Research Career Development Award (CHRCDA) K12 program. Our goal is to increase the number and effectiveness of subspecialty pediatricians with a rigorous background and skills in molecular techniques by identifying and training promising pediatric faculty to become successful physician-scientists, and to encourage them to address questions of fundamental importance to health and disease in children. Candidates for our program will be CHOP faculty appointed from our subspecialty fellows and through national searches. Each candidate will identify a prospective mentor from a group of 29 mentors, 22 from the Department of Pediatrics, the other 7 from elsewhere at the University of Pennsylvania (U of P). CHOP CHRCDA mentors were chosen by the following criteria: rigorous science in areas germaine to children; a record of successful research interactions and mentoring; strong extramural funding; and programmatic balance. Pediatric Scholars will be supported for no less than two years to conduct research as outlined in their formal research applications. They will have ready access to a comprehensive Molecular Core and ample opportunities to exchange ideas in formal and informal settings with other senior and junior investigators. We view the CHRCDA as a natural successor to our CHRC, which was extremely successful in catalyzing the production of physician-scientists capable of conducting fundamental research. During the 10 years that we held the CHRC, we selected 39 MAPS Scholars from 11 pediatric subspecialties. Of these, 85% have remained in academics, 72% continue to spend more than 50% of their time in research, and 71% have succeeded in obtaining one or more individual NIH grants, including 16 RO1 or R29 awards. Our CHRCDA will build on this tradition and 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 trainin 9.
