Career Development in Clinical Hematology Research

描述(由申请人提供)： 这项拨款申请要求资金支持华盛顿大学及其附属西雅图机构在良性血液学临床研究方面的职业发展计划。它将作为研究员在他们的临床研究员(和最初的研究时间，通常由T32奖支持)和成功获得K08、K23或同等奖项之间的桥梁作用。我们的目标是灵活地为每一位学者制定个性化的职业发展计划，其中包括核心临床经验和教学和实践研究经验。鼓励多学科研究，并包括医学系(即血液科、内科、内科、遗传学、变态反应和传染病科)、儿科、实验室医学、基因组科学、生物统计学和麻醉学的教员作为导师。我们预计将资助五名奖学金获得者(每人在五年的资助周期中为期两年)。我们将广泛的导师计划整合到我们的K12计划中，因为我们相信这是确保学者成功地从研究员过渡到教师的关键因素。我们预计，这些学者将在我们机构或其他地方获得终身教职。我们的应用程序的广泛目标是促进良性血液学临床研究，因为这是一个服务不足的领域。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This grant application requests funds to support a career development program in benign hematology clinical research at the University of Washington and affiliated Seattle institutions. It will function as a bridge for fellows between their clinical fellowship (and initial research time, generally supported by a T32 award) and the successful acquisition of a K08, K23, or equivalent award. Our goal is to be flexible and to individualize a career development plan for each scholar that consists of core clinical experiences and didactic and practical research experiences. Multidisciplinary research is encouraged and faculty in the Departments of Medicine (i.e., Divisions of Hematology, Medical Oncology, General Internal Medicine, Medical Genetics, Allergy and Infectious Diseases), Pediatrics, Laboratory Medicine, Genome Sciences, Biostatistics, and Anesthesiology are included as mentors. We anticipate funding five scholars (each for two years over the course of the five year grant cycle). We have integrated an extensive mentorship program into our K12 plan as we believe that this is a critical element to assure a scholar's successful transition from fellow to faculty. We anticipate that the scholars will progress to tenure track academic appointments at our institution or elsewhere. The broad goal of our application is to promote benign hematology clinical research, as this is an underserved field.
