Neurological Sciences Academic Development at CNMC.

描述(由申请人提供)：国家儿童医学中心(CNMC)神经科提出了一项神经科学学术发展(NSADA)培训计划，以支持儿科神经科医生的职业发展，从而实现研究独立。该计划促进进入儿童神经学的受训人员的临床、基础和翻译研究技能，鼓励这些有前途的年轻儿童神经学家将他们的努力集中在儿童神经学的重要问题上，并培养年轻的研究人员，他们将成为儿科神经学研究的未来领导者，并能够成功地竞争校外资助。这笔NSADA培训赠款将专注于CNMC拥有成熟的多学科专业知识的儿科神经疾病，包括神经肿瘤学疾病、癫痫和神经遗传学。该计划有一个高度整合的、精心制定的教学培训计划，重点是成功的学术生涯所需的基本信息，包括关于人类受试者保护、研究知识和熟练程度发展、研究方法以及使用CNMC最先进的核心设施的研究经验的培训。第二阶段的培训包括由愿意参与这一努力的导师支持的重点研究活动，以及他们过去取得的成就，包括被证明有能力在儿童神经科学的重要领域进行研究，以及过去有效指导的记录。CNMC在制定和实施个人或机构职业发展奖方面拥有丰富的经验，包括神经科学方面的奖项。潜在申请者已经在CNMC神经病学奖学金计划中，其他机构的申请者将被录取。神经病学系由21名神经科医生组成，其中大部分从事学术研究，拥有强大的培训计划，在培养学术儿童神经科医生方面有良好的记录，并培训了多名少数族裔研究员。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Division of Neurology at the Children's National Medical Center (CNMC) proposes a Neurological Sciences Academic Developmental (NSADA) training program to support the career development of pediatric neurologists, leading to research independence. The program promotes clinical, basic, and translational research skills of trainees entering child neurology, encourages these promising young child neurologists to focus their efforts on important problems in child neurology, and develops young investigators who will become future leaders in pediatric neurology research and be able to successfully compete for extramural grant support. This NSADA training grant will focus on pediatric neurologic disorders where CNMC has well established multidisciplinary expertise, including neuro-oncologic diseases, epilepsy, and neurogenetics. The program outlined has a highly integrated, carefully developed didactic training program focused on basic information needed for a successful academic career, including training in human subjects' protection, research knowledge and proficiency development, research methodology, and research experience using state-of-the-art core facilities available at CNMC. The second phase of training includes focused research activities supported by mentors selected for their willingness to be part of this effort, and their past accomplishments including proven ability to pursue research in important areas of childhood neuroscience and a record of past effective mentorship. CNMC has extensive experience in developing and implementing individual or institutional career development awards, including those in neuroscience. Candidates who are potential applicants are already in place in the CNMC Neurology Fellowship Program and applicants from other institutions will be sought. The Department of Neurology, staffed by 21 neurologists, the majority of whom are pursuing academic research, has a strong training program, a proven record of developing academic child neurologists and has trained multiple minority fellows.
