Multidisciplinary Training Program in Pediatric Pulmonary

约翰霍普金斯大学儿童肺部医学多学科培训计划（T-32）的目标是：(1)培养杰出的生物医学科学家，他们将研究儿童肺部疾病的病理生理学和治疗；（二）鼓励和支持博士后从事临床和生物医学研究；(3)培养全国儿科肺科带头人。它致力于为其教职员工和学生提供平等的机会，并且作为一项政策，不基于任何受法律保护的特征进行歧视。拟议的培训计划将为四名具有医学博士，医学博士/博士，DO或博士学位的合格候选人提供三年的儿科肺部相关研究博士后水平的培训。这个培训项目是约翰霍普金斯大学医学院儿科学和医学系和约翰霍普金斯大学彭博公共卫生学院34名研究教员广泛合作的结果。这些研究科学家在六个研究学科组提供指导培训：(1)肺损伤与发育；(2)上皮转运、肺移植和囊性纤维化；(3)睡眠障碍；(4)小儿肺部疾病的临床转归；(5)传染病、结核病和全球卫生；(6)哮喘、过敏和炎症。希望专注于临床科学研究的博士后学员可以通过约翰霍普金斯大学彭博公共卫生学院获得临床调查、流行病学、生物统计学或卫生政策研究生培训项目的硕士学位（MPH或MHS）。研究导师和学员之间的指导关系将是该项目的研究培训经验的核心。此外，还将辅之以课程作业、编制赠款申请的正式培训、负责进行研究的正式培训、积极参与

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goals of the Johns Hopkins Multidisciplinary Training Program in Pediatric Pulmonary Medicine (T-32) are: (1) to produce outstanding biomedical scientists who will investigate the pathophysiology and treatment of pediatric pulmonary disorders; (2) to encourage and enable post-doctoral fellows to pursue academic careers in clinical and biomedical research; and (3) to develop national leaders in pediatric Pulmonology. It is committed to equal opportunity for its faculty, staff and students and, as a matter of policy, does not discriminate on the basis of any legally protected characteristics. The proposed training program will provide three years of training in pediatric lung-related research at the postdoctoral level for four qualified candidates with MD, MD/PhD, DO, or PhD degrees/year. This training program is the result of an extensive collaboration between thirty-four research faculty members in the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine's Departments of Pediatrics and Medicine and the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. These research scientists offer mentored training in six Research Discipline Groups: (1) lung injury and development; (2) epithelial transport, lung transplantation and cystic fibrosis; (3) sleep disorder; (4) clinical outcomes in pediatric pulmonary diseases; (5) infectious diseases, tuberculosis and global health; and (6) asthma, allergy and inflammation. Postdoctoral trainees who wish to focus their research in the clinical sciences will be able to obtain a masters' degree (MPH or MHS) in graduate training programs in Clinical Investigations, Epidemiology, Biostatistics or Health Policy through the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health. The tutorial relationship between research mentor and trainee will be central to the program's research training experience. This will be supplemented by coursework, formal training in the preparation of grant applications, formal training in the responsible conduct of research, active participation in program-wide conferences, presentation of original research at national scientific meetings and publication of original research in peer- reviewed journals. The Program Director will have the overall responsibility for assuring proper coordination of the program, including its educational, scientific, and administrative aspects. She will receive consultation from Executive, Program Advisory, Fellowship Review, Scholarship Review, Minority Advisory and External Advisory Committees. The Program Director will be assisted in the day-to-day operations of the program by the Chair of the Fellowship Review Committee, who will oversee the research training of this T-32 program. The program Director will also be assisted by the Director of this ACGME-accredited clinical training program. The Division Administrator will also provide skilled assistance to the program Director in the day-to-day management of this training grant. Although only nine years old, the current T-32 training program has already graduated 8 highly trained researchers in pediatric Pulmonology, seven of whom are currently faculty members in academic institutions in the U.S. This high performance standard will be continued in the proposed program.
