Project Summary/Abstract This application is submitted in response to RFA-HD-18-011, Child Health Research Career Development Award (CHRCDA) Program to provide K12 awards through the CHRCDA mechanism to young pediatric investigators. This new application requests resources to support three pediatricians each year who hold MD or MD/PhD degrees and have completed scholarship training in a clinical subspecialty. The rationale for the program is based on the well-documented and urgent need to support mentored career development for pediatricians to enable them to become fully independent and productive basic science researchers, and the fact that the department of Pediatrics at UCSF has the vision, experience and infrastructure to train the next generation of leaders in pediatric science. Our aims are to (1) offer a structured program for training academic pediatricians, (2) foster career development and promote retention of junior faculty, (3) expose promising early career pediatricians to the intellectual richness of UCSF research and (4) promote diversity in academic pediatrics. The scholars trained by this program will bring state-of-the-art approaches to bear on diagnosis, treatment and prevention of health problems in children as well as childhood onset of adult illness. The design of this program involves harnessing the expertise of world- class basic laboratory scientists who will serve as mentors for interdisciplinary training. The basic science training program is focused around eight scientific cores: cancer, cardiopulmonary medicine, developmental biology, genetics, immunology, neurobiology, stem cell biology, and our new computational sciences core. Each core has a Director, designated faculty, and a specific didactic curriculum. The scholars, in conjunction with their mentor and Core Director, will also participate in a program of additional discipline-specific course work dependent on both the prior experience and training of the applicant and the scientific theme of the trainee’s research, which may often overlap amongst different cores. In this application, we provide evidence that the Department of Pediatrics together with the broader UCSF research community comprise an exceptional environment for preparing young pediatricians who will receive support through the CHRCDA mechanism for successful careers as basic science researchers. There are > 1,200 research laboratories and > 2,200 active research projects at UCSF, and the faculty includes 5 Nobel laureates, 64 members of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, 76 members of the Institute of Medicine, and 18 Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigators. This program is an investment in the future of children's health, as the diverse group of researchers we will train will harness advanced research strategies to address urgent problems that will result in new treatments to improve child health.
