DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Building on the record of excellence in training physician-scientists, the present application seeks to improve upon the existing neonatology postdoctoral training program at the University of Iowa by enhancing the investigators' strengths and expanding the investigators' capabilities. The investigators' objective is to provide three M.D. or M.D./Ph.D. trainees with 2 to 3 years of rigorous, high caliber, state-of-the-art training in medical research. The acquisition of the requisite knowledge, skills, and work habits by the investigators' trainees will take place in a nurturing environment emphasizing scientific excellence and collaborative teamwork. The program's faculty preceptors include senior and mid-level scientists who have established successful careers as medical researchers and mentors. The faculty includes a spectrum of researchers from the departments of basic science (Biochemistry, Anatomy & Cell Biology, Physiology and Biophysics) and from clinical medicine (Pediatrics, Internal Medicine, Obstetrics and Gynecology, and Otolaryngology). Institutional resources available to trainees are outstanding. The selection of trainees is competitively based on their potential for becoming independent physician-scientists capable of assuming leadership roles in research and clinical medicine. After selecting a faculty preceptor and an area of research, trainees will pursue hypothesis-based research in one of the five research areas of the preceptor faculty's strengths: developmental physiology, developmental biology, gene therapy, molecular genetics, and clinical trials/epidemiology. Because of the overlapping and collaborative research interests among the faculty, trainees will have multiple opportunities to interact with a diverse spectrum of faculty. Each trainee's research program will be developed on an individual basis with input and guidance from the trainee's preceptor, the Program Directors, and the Neonatology preceptor faculty. In addition to engaging in hands-on laboratory experiences, trainees will learn directly about the nature of high quality scientific research by attending research seminars, lectures, and laboratory meetings, by writing research proposals, manuscripts, and grants, and by participating in research conferences. Other important elements are group support and mentoring by the neonatology faculty with input from and oversight by the proposed Program and Internal Advisory Committees. Proposed program's effectiveness will be prospectively evaluated in a systematic fashion. With NIH support beyond that which the investigators currently enjoy, the investigators will be able to significantly enhance the research training experiences they offer their postdoctoral physician trainees in neonatal medicine.

描述（由申请人提供）：基于培训医师科学家的卓越记录，本申请旨在通过增强研究人员的优势并扩大研究人员的能力来改善爱荷华大学现有的新生儿学博士后培训计划。研究人员的目标是提供三个M.D.或M.D./ph.d。接受2至3年严格，高素质，最先进的医学研究培训的学员。调查人员的学员获得必要的知识，技能和工作习惯的收购将在强调科学卓越和协作团队合作的培养环境中进行。该计划的教职员工包括建立了作为医学研究人员和导师的成功职业的高级和中级科学家。该学院包括基础科学系（生物化学，解剖与细胞生物学，生理学和生物物理学）以及临床医学（儿科，内科医学，妇产科和妇科学以及耳鼻喉科学）的一系列研究人员。可用于学员的机构资源非常出色。受训者的选择是基于他们成为能够在研究和临床医学中发挥领导作用的独立医师科学家的潜力。在选择了教职员工和研究领域之后，学员将在培训学院优势的五个研究领域之一中进行基于假设的研究：发育生理学，发育生物学，基因治疗，分子遗传学和临床试验/流行病学。由于教师之间的重叠和协作研究兴趣，学员将有多个机会与各种各样的教师互动。每个受训者的研究计划都将在一个基础上开发，并通过学员的主持人，计划主管和新生儿学教师的意见和指导。除了参与实验室实验室经验外，学员还通过撰写研究建议，手稿和赠款以及参与研究会议，通过参加研究研讨会，讲座和实验室会议来直接了解高质量科学研究的性质。其他重要的要素是新生儿学院的团体支持和指导，并由拟议的计划和内部咨询委员会的监督投入。拟议程序的有效性将以系统的方式进行预期评估。在NIH的支持之外，调查人员的支持之外，调查人员将能够显着增强他们为新生儿医学提供博士后医师学员提供的研究培训经验。
