PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT This renewal application seeks NICHD support for 5 first-year and 5 second-year positions in the Pediatric Scientist Development Program (PSDP), a career development pathway for pediatric fellows from which 192 physician-scientists have graduated since 1987. The objectives of the program remain unchanged since its inception: (a) to recruit pediatric fellows whose outstanding potential for a successful investigative career can be developed in an intensively mentored setting and (b) to expand the pipeline of superbly trained pediatric physician-scientists, who will catalyze cutting-edge discoveries in child health and lead the pediatric departments of the future. Unique aspects of the PSDP include its North American scope for recruitment of fellows and mentors, its intensive focus on career development during fellowship, its supra-institutional governance under the aegis of the Association of Medical School Pediatric Department Chairs (AMSPDC), its emphasis on research environments outside departments of pediatrics, and its approach to mentoring that encompasses research mentors, PSDP advisory committees, and pediatric department chairs. Advisory Committees include a Steering Committee, which sets programmatic policy; a Selection Committee to interview PSDP candidates; and an independent Program Evaluation Committee measures the program’s effectiveness in ensuring fellows’ success. A centerpiece of the PSDP is the annual career development curriculum that convenes PSDP fellows, advisory committees, and all US and Canadian pediatric department chairs at the AMSPDC meeting. PSDP graduates have served as PIs on 335 NIH RPGs, of which 53% are currently active. Based on total awards of NIH RPGs with PSDP graduates are PIs, the return on NICHD investment is 8.8 fold. Innovations for 2017-2021 include a) leveraging NICHD funding by incorporating departmental support for up to 5 third-year fellows who will be appointed as instructors with 75-80% protected research time and b) expanding our career development curriculum with adult-learning educational modules that emphasize the fellow-to-faculty transition and team science, presented on site at AMSPDC and through web-based case-based studies. The PSDP has implemented a comprehensive strategy to expand the boundaries of child health research, to develop the research careers of rigorously trained pediatric physician-scientists, and to produce the next generation of investigative leaders in pediatrics.

项目概要/摘要 此续签申请寻求 NICHD 对 5 个第一年职位和 5 个第二年职位的支持 儿科科学家发展计划 (PSDP)，儿科研究员的职业发展途径 自 1987 年以来，已有 192 名医师科学家从中毕业。该计划的目标仍然是 自成立以来没有变化： (a) 招募具有杰出潜力的儿科研究员 成功的调查生涯可以在集中指导的环境中发展，并且 (b) 扩大 训练有素的儿科医师科学家队伍，他们将促进尖端发现 致力于儿童健康并引领未来的儿科部门。 PSDP 的独特之处包括其在北美招募研究员和导师的范围， 其在奖学金期间对职业发展的高度关注，其超机构治理 医学院儿科系主席协会 (AMSPDC) 的支持，其重点 儿科以外的研究环境及其指导方法 包括研究导师、PSDP 咨询委员会和儿科系主任。 咨询委员会包括指导委员会，负责制定计划政策； 面试 PSDP 候选人的委员会和独立的项目评估委员会； PSDP 的核心内容是衡量该计划对研究员成功的有效性。 年度职业发展课程，召集 PSDP 研究员、咨询委员会和所有美国学生 和加拿大儿科系主席在 AMSPDC 会议上担任 PSDP 毕业生。 335 款 NIH RPG 的 PI，其中 53% 目前处于活跃状态，基于 NIH RPG 的获奖总数。 PSDP毕业生是PI，NICHD的投资回报率为8.8倍。 2017-2021 年的创新包括 a) 通过纳入部门支持来利用 NICHD 资金 最多 5 名三年级研究员，他们将被任命为讲师，75-80% 的研究时间受保护 b) 通过成人学习教育模块扩展我们的职业发展课程， 强调研究员到教师的过渡和团队科学，在 AMSPDC 现场提出并通过 PSDP 实施了一项全面的战略来扩大研究范围。 儿童健康研究的界限，发展经过严格训练的儿科研究事业 医师科学家，并培养下一代儿科研究领导者。
