This new T32 application addresses the critical need to build a continuous pipeline of research scientists focused on addressing the 2nd leading cause of pediatric mortality by establishing the nation’s first post- doctoral program providing research training on the prevention of firearm injuries among children and teens. The overarching goal of this program is to build a cadre of research scholars with two-year multidisciplinary training in the science of pediatric firearm injury prevention that will allow them to develop academic careers as independent research scientists making significant contributions to our understanding of this public health disease, as well as to developing and rigorously testing evidence-based prevention strategies. The training program will recruit MD and/or PhD scholars that will progress towards research independence through three inter-related training activities: (1) didactic training acquired through formal coursework, research seminars, workshops, and distinguished faculty lectures; (2) experiential training acquired through an applied research experience conducted under the guidance of highly qualified mentoring faculty; and, (3) the preparation of a formal research project and/or grant proposal. Fellows will also receive training in the responsible conduct of research and methods to ensure scientific rigor and reproducibility in their work. Given the early state of the field, we will utilize a collaborative, cross-disciplinary, and multi-method approach that emphasizes: (1) the need to establish foundational knowledge and methodological skills in pediatric firearm injury prevention science; (2) the analysis of empirical data and a focus on theory building; and, (3) the use of multi-disciplinary approaches to advance stronger team science methods in the field. The program will capitalize on the breadth and depth of the research laboratories, clinical settings, academic programs, experienced faculty, and linkages to multiple research networks and centers at the University of Michigan (UM), including the newly established Firearm Injury Prevention Institute, to provide an unparalleled training environment for this training. The specific objectives are: (1) To build a pipeline of scholars with expertise in pediatric firearm injury prevention science by recruiting/training a cohort of research fellows (5 active fellows/year) for a two-year post-doctoral research training program from a national applicant pool, with a focus on enhancing trainee diversity in race/ethnicity, gender, socio-economic status, and prior experience; (2) To provide trainees with a foundational didactic curriculum in research methods and analytic techniques; (3) To expose post-doctoral fellows to an applied research experience with mentors within a range of fields that will enhance their practice of interdisciplinary team science; and, (4) To foster a learning environment with highly engaged research mentors that will serve as role models and future colleagues, as well as enhance their potential for successful academic careers. The proposed program will include a rigorous evaluation of all didactic and experiential components, with in-depth review by institutional and external advisory committees to ensure long-term success.

这项新的T32应用程序解决了建立研究科学家的连续管道的关键需求 专注于通过建立美国第一个后的第一个小儿死亡率的第二大主要原因 - 博士课程提供有关预防儿童和青少年枪支伤害的研究培训。 该计划的总体目标是建立具有两年多学科的研究学者的干部 小儿枪支伤害预防科学的培训将使他们能够发展学术职业 独立的研究科学家为我们对这种公共卫生的理解做出了重大贡献 疾病以及制定和严格测试循证预防策略。培训 计划将招募MD和/或博士学位学者，这些学者将通过三个 相互关联的培训活动：（1）通过正式课程，研究中心获得的教学培训， 讲习班和杰出的教师讲座； （2）通过应用研究获得的经验丰富的培训 在高素质的心理教师的指导下进行的经验； （3）准备 正式的研究项目和/或赠款提案。研究员还将接受负责任的培训 研究和方法确保其工作中的科学严谨性和可重复性。考虑到早期状态 领域，我们将利用一种协作，跨学科和多方法的方法，该方法强调：（1） 需要在小儿枪支伤害中建立基础知识和方法论技巧 科学; （2）经验数据的分析和对理论构建的关注； （3）使用多学科 推进该领域更强大的团队科学方法的方法。该计划将利用广度 研究实验室，临床环境，学术课程，经验丰富的教师和联系的深度 到密歇根大学（UM）的多个研究网络和中心，包括新成立的 枪支伤害预防研究所为此培训提供无与伦比的培训环境。这 具体目标是：（1）建立具有小儿枪支伤害专业知识的学者管道 通过招募/培训科学的研究研究员（5名活跃的研究员/年），为期两年 来自国家申请人池的研究培训计划，重点是增强学员多样性 种族/种族，性别，社会经济地位和先前的经验； （2）为受训者提供基础 研究方法和分析技术中的教学课程； （3）将博士后研究员暴露于 在一系列领域的指导者的应用研究经验将增强其实践 跨学科团队科学； （4）用高度参与的研究导师培养学习环境 这将充当榜样和未来的同事，并增强其成功学术的潜力 职业。拟议的计划将包括对所有教学和经验丰富的组件的严格评估， 通过机构和外部咨询委员会的深入审查，以确保长期成功。
