Recognizing the need for physician-scientists in Pediatrics who can help bridge the line between the laboratory and the bedside, The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) is making a major institutional commitment to increase its substantial research opportunities for Pediatricians. CHOP proposes to expand its strong commitment to pediatric research training by establishing the Molecular Approaches to Pediatric Science Child Health Research Center (MAPS/CHRC), with four goals in mind: (1) Identify and recruit outstanding young pediatricians, especially minorities and women, who show potential for careers in research ; (2) Give them skills in molecular genetics through the use of mentors from several parts of the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center with strong and well-funded backgrounds in this central theme of contemporary pediatric research; (3) Underwrite their access to, and training in, the core laboratory facilities that will enhance their ability to carry out modern molecular genetic research; and (4) Provide positions for many of them to establish productive faculty careers at CHOP. The individuals selected for the program will be known and recognized throughout the institution as "MAPS Scholars". The Principal Investigator, Dr. Elias Schwartz, Physician-in-Chief and Chairman of Pediatrics, and the Program Director, Dr. Robert Nussbaum, Associate Professor of Human Genetics at the University of Pennsylvania, will lead a group of 18 Established Investigators chosen for their well-funded research programs and track records in training. Many of the mentors will be actively involved in the newly-awarded Human Genome Center Grant, in which scientists from the Hospital and the University will create a map of human Chromosome 22. Recruiting Scholars for the MAPS program will be the responsibility of Dr. Kwaku Ohene-Frempong, Director of the NIH Comprehensive Sickle Cell Center at CHOP. Dr.Ohene-Frempong, who has been a national leader in minority medical affairs, will use his broad contacts to attract minority participants to the MAPS/CHRC program at CHOP. Overall, the combination of strong science, solid training opportunities, and the multiplier effect of an extraordinarily large institutional commitment, should provide a very valuable program at CHOP.

认识到儿科医师科学家的需求，他们可以提供帮助 架起实验室和床边之间的桥梁，儿童医院 费城医院 (CHOP) 正在打造一个主要机构 致力于增加其大量研究机会 儿科医生。 CHOP 提议扩大其坚定承诺 通过建立分子方法来进行儿科研究培训 儿科科学儿童健康研究中心 (MAPS/CHRC)，拥有四个 目标：（1）发掘和招募优秀的年轻儿科医生， 尤其是少数族裔和女性，他们在以下领域表现出职业潜力 研究 ; (2) 通过使用 来自宾夕法尼亚大学医学院多个部门的导师 该中心在这一中心主题方面拥有强大且资金充足的背景 当代儿科研究； (3) 保证他们的访问权，并且 核心实验室设施的培训将增强他们的能力 具有开展现代分子遗传学研究的能力； (4) 提供 他们中的许多人可以在该校建立富有成效的教师职业 劈。 被选入该计划的个人将被知晓并 在整个机构中被公认为“MAPS 学者”。 校长 研究员、Elias Schwartz 博士、主任医师兼主席 儿科和项目主任 Robert Nussbaum 博士，助理 宾夕法尼亚大学人类遗传学教授将领导 一组由 18 名知名调查员组成的团队，因其资金充足而被选中 研究计划和培训跟踪记录。 许多导师 将积极参与新授予的人类基因组中心拨款， 来自医院和大学的科学家将创建一个 人类 22 号染色体图谱。 MAPS 项目招募学者 由该中心主任 Kwaku Ohene-Frempong 博士负责 CHOP 的 NIH 综合镰状细胞中心。 Ohene-Frempong 博士， 作为全国少数民族医疗事务的领导者，将利用他广泛的 吸引少数族裔参与者参加 MAPS/CHRC 计划的联系方式： 劈。 总体而言，强科学、扎实训练相结合 机会，以及巨大的乘数效应 机构承诺，应该在 CHOP 提供一个非常有价值的计划。
