PRS Young Investigator Grants Workshop

描述（由申请人提供）：我们的建议是提交支持一个新的年轻研究者培训研讨会将在围产期研究学会（PRS）年会之前举行。减贫战略由积极从事围产期研究的儿科医生、产科医生和基础科学家组成。PRS的目的是双重的，1）提供不同学科的科学家之间的生产交流共享围产期生物学的共同研究兴趣，和2）鼓励发展和合作的机会，年轻的研究人员从事围产期研究。年度PRS会议提供了一个合作交流的论坛，并通过国家儿童健康和人类发展研究所（NICHD）支持的年轻研究者计划为年轻研究者提供了参与的机会。PRS青年调查员计划已经为选定的个人提供了参加年会的机会。在2012年，我们的青年研究者计划也扩大到包括青年研究者培训讲习班之前的PRS会议。这种经验“启动”了年轻研究人员的赠款撰写过程，使他们能够在获得所需技能的同时生成产品，并理解NIH和评审员的观点。青年研究员培训研讨会是一个为期两天的，完全沉浸式的研讨会，为年轻的研究人员提供了一个机会，以制定他们的赠款提案的具体目标，重要性声明和创新声明。参与者的重点是通过清晰的写作和口头陈述加强有效的沟通。讲习班的目标是通过将最低限度的说教式教学与主动学习相结合，实现从教到学的模式。年轻的研究人员在研讨会期间写下自己的具体目标，重要性声明和创新声明，并立即从既定的教师研讨会导师那里获得一对一的反馈-所有这些导师都是NIH资助的。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Our proposal is submitted to support a new Young Investigator Training Workshop to be held ahead of the annual meeting of the Perinatal Research Society (PRS). The PRS consists of pediatricians, obstetricians, and basic scientists who are actively engaged in perinatal research. The purpose of PRS is twofold, 1) to provide productive interchange between scientists of different disciplines sharing a common research interest in perinatal biology, and 2) to encourage development and collaboration opportunities for young investigators engaged in perinatal research. The annual PRS meeting provides a forum for collaborative exchanges, and an opportunity for young investigator participation, via the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD)-supported Young Investigator program. The PRS Young Investigator program already offers select individuals the opportunity to attend the annual meeting. In 2012, our Young Investigator program was also expanded to include a Young Investigator Training Workshop preceding the PRS meeting. The experience "jump-starts" the grant writing process for young investigators, allowing them to generate a product while acquiring the required skill- set and understanding the viewpoint of NIH and the reviewer. The Young Investigator Training Workshop is a two day, fully immersive workshop that provides young investigators an opportunity to develop their grant proposal specific aims, significance statement, and innovation statement. Participant focus is placed on effective communication through clarity of writing and reinforced by oral presentation. Workshop goals are achieved using a model that shifts from teaching to learning by combining minimal didactic instruction with active learning. Young investigators write their own specific aims, significance statement, and innovation statement during the workshop and receive immediate one-on-one feedback from established faculty workshop mentors - all of whom are NIH funded.
