Multidisciplinary Neonatal Training Grant

描述（由申请人提供）：此应用程序要求支持2个医生培训职位的第三和第四年的神经病学研究员，这将使他们能够发展所需的知识，理解和技能，追求独立的研究事业在学术神经病学。两个主要的学术研究路径将提供给学员，每一个轨道将与一个特定的课程，包括所需的课程工作：轨道一。基础研究，物理学家-科学家（实验室研究导师）和轨道II。临床研究，医生-科学家（临床研究导师），包括医疗保健政策和医疗信息学导师组成部分。该计划有两个研究轨道，与新生儿科部门合作，其中包括：五名临床研究医生-科学家（其中两名是硕士培训）;两名基础研究医生-科学家;十名博士;和新生儿围产期研究所（NPRI）。NPRI包括65名高级研究人员，其中40人是NIH资助的，并利用杜克大学的学术实力和深度，以支持发育生物学，临床科学和医疗保健研究计划的正式培训。NPRI内部的外部资助研究目前支持4个广泛的研究领域：1）早期心脏/颅骨/面部发育; 2）新生儿肺发育/修复; 3）胎儿和新生儿的神经损伤和修复;以及4）与NICHD新生儿网络和杜克临床研究所合作的临床新生儿研究。此外，该补助金还提出了一个独特的计划，该计划的课程是在医学研究生涯的背景下研究医疗保健政策和医学信息学。 申请的资金将为神经病学研究金的研究年提供关键支持，该研究金目前在杜克大学医学中心培训6至7名研究员。独特的研究培训计划及其单独的轨道将提供一个结构化的学习经验，适合个人的需求和兴趣，每个研究员与资深科学家谁将担任导师工作。在完成培训计划后，年轻的医生科学家将拥有工具，知识，经验和信心，成功地竞争作为一个独立的研究者。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests support for 2 physician training positions for 3rd and 4th year neonatology fellows, which will allow them to develop the knowledge, understanding and skills needed to pursue independent research careers in academic neonatology. Two major academic research paths will be available to trainees, and each track will be associated with a specific curriculum containing required course work: Track I. Basic Research, Physician-Scientist (laboratory research mentorship), and Track II. Clinical Research, Physician-Scientist (clinical research mentorship) which includes Health Care Policy and Medical Informatics mentorship components. This program with its two research tracks resides with the Division of Neonatology which includes: five clinical research physician-scientists (two of whom are Masters trained); two basic research physician-scientists; ten Ph.D.s; and the Neonatal-Perinatal Research Institute (NPRI). The NPRI includes sixty-five senior investigators, forty of whom are NIH funded, and draws upon the academic strength and depth found across Duke University needed to support the formal training for the program in developmental biology, clinical sciences and health care research. Extramurally funded research within the NPRI currently supports 4 broad areas of investigation: 1) early cardio/cranio/facia development; 2) neonatal lung development/repair; 3) neural injury and repair in the fetus and neonate; and 4) clinical neonatal research in conjunction with the NICHD Neonatal Network and the Duke Clinical Research Institute. In addition, this grant proposes a unique program with curricula for the study of Health Care Policy and Medical Informatics in the context of a medical research career. The requested funds will provide critical support for the research years of the neonatology fellowship, which currently trains six to seven fellows at Duke University Medical Center. The unique research training program with its separate Tracks will provide a structured learning experience tailored to the needs and interests of the individual fellow, with each fellow working with a senior scientist who will serve as mentor. Upon completion of the training program, the young physician-scientist will have the tools, knowledge, experience and confidence to compete successfully as an independent investigator.
