Colorado Neurological Sciences Academic Development Award (NSADA)

描述（由申请人提供）：推进神经系统疾病儿童的护理至关重要，这取决于培养下一代学术儿科神经学家成为优秀的临床医生和成功的独立基础和翻译研究人员，他们可以在多学科研究团队中有效工作。科罗拉多神经科学学术发展奖（NSADA K12）计划总部设在科罗拉多安舒茨医学院和儿童医院科罗拉多大学将利用一个杰出的神经科学研究社区的综合资源，我们广泛的大学基础设施的研究培训和最好的儿童医院之一，在该国提供特殊的基本-为下一代学术儿科神经学家提供儿科神经科学研究培训。总体目标是为我们的学者提供生产性学术研究职业所需的科学和专业技能，作为独立的调查人员和领导者，他们将在儿童神经病学研究中产生重大影响。我们将通过两个目标实现这一目标：1）提供最高质量的，个人设计的培训和职业发展机会，重点是基础和转化科学研究; 2）提供培训经验，将教育学者在多学科，综合，团队科学所需的基本发现转化为机会，以帮助解决和预防儿童神经病学的重大未解决问题。为了实现这些目标，我们聘请了基础科学和转化科学领域的优秀研究人员，他们拥有非常成功的研究和研究培训计划，并拥有卓越的记录，为我们的学者提供最佳的研究培训和职业发展。在这个为期5年的计划中，我们将从即将毕业的儿科神经病学研究员和初级教师（讲师或助理教授）中招募3名学者，他们具有良好的学术记录，积极主动并致力于建立独立的研究事业，并已证明研究潜力的证据，并为他们提供3年不间断的研究时间。我们将创建一个领导和培训计划结构，将建立：a）标准和程序的学者，研究导师和个人导师团队的招聘; B）所需的研究和职业发展培训; c）该计划的各个方面的评估。学者们将接触到广泛的研究和职业发展机会，并将学习涉及多学科，协作团队科学的机制。我们致力于培养下一代独立的儿科神经病学/神经科学研究人员，以发现疾病的机制，并有效地将这些发现转化为对神经系统疾病儿童护理的改善。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Advancing the care of children with nervous system disorders is critically dependent on training the next generation of academic pediatric neurologists to be both outstanding clinicians and successful independent basic and translational researchers who can work effectively in multidisciplinary research teams. The Colorado Neurosciences Academic Development Award (NSADA K12) program based at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus and Children's Hospital Colorado will leverage the combined resources of an outstanding neuroscience research community, our extensive university infrastructure for research training and one of the best children's hospitals in the country to provide exceptional basic-translational pediatric neuroscience research training for the next generation of academic pediatric neurologists. The overall goal is to provide our Scholars the scientific and professional skills needed for productive academic research careers as independent investigators and leaders who will make significant impacts in Child Neurology research. We will meet this goal with two aims: 1) provide the highest quality, personally designed training and career development opportunities focused in basic and translational science research; 2) provide training experiences that will educate the Scholars in multidisciplinary, integrated, team science required for translation of basic discoveries into opportunities to help solve and prevent major unmet problems in Child Neurology. To accomplish these aims, we have engaged outstanding research faculty in basic and translational science that have highly successful research and research training programs with proven track records of excellence to provide our scholars with optimal research training and career development. During this 5 year program we will recruit 3 Scholars from graduating pediatric neurology fellows and junior faculty (Instructors or Assistant Professors) who have strong academic records, are motivated and committed to establishing independent research careers, and have demonstrated evidence of research potential, and provide each of them with 3 years of uninterrupted research time. We will create a leadership and training program structure that will establish: a) criteria and processes for recruitment of scholars, research mentors, and individual mentorship teams; b) required research and career development training; c) evaluation of all aspects of the program. The Scholars will be exposed to a broad array of research and career development opportunities, and will learn the mechanisms involved in multidisciplinary, collaborative team science. We are committed to preparing the next generation of independent Pediatric Neurology/Neuroscience investigators to discover mechanisms of disease and effectively translate these discoveries into improvements in care for children with neurological disease.
