Sickle Cell Scholar component

镰状细胞学者计划提供了一种招募和培训年轻研究人员的方法， 镰状细胞病学者项目可以是基础科学、翻译、临床或病人服务 成果项目。该学者必须是两年后MD或博士学位，必须有一定的研究经验 在颁奖的时候。奖学金将不会被招募，直到奖项确定后， NHLBI，项目将在那时确定。镰状细胞奖学金计划的目的是 描述招募学者的方法，为学者提供指导计划，并描述 提供支持导师制的设施。圣裘德儿童研究医院（St. Jude Children's Research Hospital，SJCRH） 在上一个CSCC 5年周期中赞助了两名镰状细胞学者，并计划赞助两名研究人员， 这个循环。现任学者克劳迪娅·希勒布兰德博士（Dr. Claudia Hillebrand）由中央神经系统核心（Central Nervous System Core）指导。 主任凯瑟琳·赫尔顿医生Hillebrand博士在几项当地协议中发挥了重要作用， 由临床核心总监Hankins博士领导：肝脏和肝脏疾病非侵入性评估的初步研究 通过MRI T2* 检测输血性铁超负荷患者的心肌铁（MRIRON）。希伦布兰德博士 帮助开发了当前本地研究（MRIRON）的软件，以找到一种非侵入性的替代方法， 通过使用MRI技术评估镰状细胞病患者的铁过载。 目前，SJCRH在医院有270多名博士后研究员， 为这些研究员提供的支持计划包括博士后奖学金协会，博士后通讯， 网站致力于为博士后研究员提供信息，科学编辑，学术计划办公室， 其他非学术支持，包括机构赞助的社会活动。学术项目办公室 提供项目，以帮助教师提高自己的指导技能，并鼓励计划， 由顾问对研究员进行季度或半年一次的评价，由研究员对顾问进行评价。SJCRH鼓励所有 为学员提供导师服务。项目主任和核心有一个 丰富的知识和经验，以指导一个年轻的调查员，他们都同意提供一个 如果学者的项目是在他们的专业领域，至少5%的努力作为导师。士会 在奖学金项目上投入至少75%的精力。

The Sickle Cell Scholar Program offers a method of recruiting and training young investigators in the field of sickle cell disease. The scholar project can be a basic science, translational, clinical or patient services outcome project. The scholar must be two years post MD or PhD and must have some research experience by the time of the award. The scholar will not be recruited until after the awards are determined by the NHLBI, and the project will be determined at that time. The purpose of the Sickle Cell Scholar Plan is to describe the method of recruiting the scholar, to provide a mentorship plan for the scholar and to describe the facilities available to support mentorship. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (SJCRH) has sponsored two Sickle Cell Scholars in the last CSCC 5 year cycle and plans to sponsor two researchers for this cycle. The current scholar, Dr. Claudia Hillebrand, is mentored by the Central Nervous System Core Director, Dr. Kathleen Helton. Dr. Hillebrand was instrumental in several local protocols including the study led by Dr. Hankins, Clinical Core Director: Pilot Study of Non-lnvasice Assessment of Hepatic and Myocardial Iron Through MRI T2* in Patients with Transfusional Iron Overload (MRIRON). Dr. Hillenbrand helped developed the software for the current local study (MRIRON) to find a non-invasive alternative to assess iron overload in patients with sickle cell disease through the use of MRI techniques. Currently, SJCRH has more than 270 postdoctoral fellows in residence at the hospital and has outstanding support programs for these fellows including a Postdoctoral Fellowship Association, a postdoc newsletter, a website dedicated to information for postdoctoral fellows, scientifc editing, an academic program office, and other non-academic support including institution sponsored social activities. The Academic Program office offers programs to assist faculty to enhance their own mentoring skills, and a program to encourage quarterly or biannual evaluations of fellows by advisors and advisors by fellows. SJCRH encourages all facutly members to provide mentorship to trainees. The Directors of the Projects and the Cores have a wealth of knowledge and experience to guide a young investigator and they have all agreed to provide a minimum of 5% effort as a mentor if the scholar's project is in their area of expertise. The scholar will devote a minimum of 75% effort to the scholar's program.
