DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a new application in response to RFA-DK-02-024 for the establishment of a NIH-supported junior faculty career development program in pediatric diabetes at the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh (CHP), University of Pittsburgh, to complement the T32 Fellowship Training application. As we usher in a new era of basic scientific capabilities and translational exploration, decreasing reimbursement and increased demands for clinical revenue generation have made it increasingly difficult for young faculty to "jump-start" an academic career. Therefore, the aim of this program is to train the next generation of clinician-scientists for independent academic careers in pediatric diabetes emphasizing the clinical application of basic science advances. The core components of this program are: 1) apprenticeship with an academically successful mentor; 2) individually tailored ADVANCED course work and didactic study for each junior faculty based upon specific research and educational needs; 3) exposure to a broad range of interdisciplinary diabetes research seminars; 4) development of core research and ACADEMIC SURVIVAL SKILLS; 5) close follow up and guidance of faculty progress; and 6) evolution towards an INDEPENDENT academic career. The organizational structure of the training program includes: 1) the Program Director, Silva Arslanian M.D., who is the Director of the pediatric General Clinical Research Center; 2) the Program Co-Director, Massimo Trucco M.D., who is the Director of the JDRF Center Grant at CHP and the University; 3) the ADVISORY committee, comprised of the Associate Directors of five different research tracks in diabetes; 4) the Junior Faculty Committee, custom designed for each K12 appointee; and 5) An External Advisory Board of 3 highly accomplished diabetes researchers. From a pool of promising young faculty, from within (graduates of the T32 program) or without the CHP, two will be funded each year. Appointment will be made after careful scrutiny, and recommendation by the Advisory Committee. Special consideration is given to recruiting and retaining junior faculty from minority populations. Awardees will spend 80% of their time in research over a 1-2 year period. The planned K12 program will enable the attraction, development, and retention of pediatric scientists in diabetes who will be competitive for independent funding and will eventually form a group of senior faculty mentors for the future generation of young investigators.

描述（由申请人提供）： 这是响应 RFA-DK-02-024 的一项新申请，旨在在匹兹堡大学匹兹堡儿童医院 (CHP) 建立 NIH 支持的儿科糖尿病初级教师职业发展计划，以补充 T32 奖学金培训申请。随着我们迎来基础科学能力和转化探索的新时代，报销的减少和临床创收需求的增加使得年轻教师“快速启动”学术生涯变得越来越困难。因此，该计划的目的是培养下一代临床医生科学家在儿科糖尿病方面的独立学术职业，强调基础科学进展的临床应用。 该计划的核心组成部分是：1）在学术上成功的导师的指导下进行学徒； 2）根据具体的研究和教育需求，为每位初级教师单独定制高级课程和教学研究； 3) 参加广泛的跨学科糖尿病研究研讨会； 4）发展核心研究和学术生存技能； 5）密切跟踪和指导师资进度； 6) 走向独立的学术生涯。培训项目的组织架构包括：1）项目总监Silva Arslanian M.D.，兼任儿科全科临床研究中心主任； 2) 项目联合主任 Massimo Trucco 医学博士，他是 CHP 和大学 JDRF 中心资助项目的主任； 3) 咨询委员会，由糖尿病五个不同研究方向的副主任组成； 4) 初级教师委员会，为每个 K12 任命者定制； 5) 由 3 名卓有成效的糖尿病研究人员组成的外部顾问委员会。从 CHP 内部（T32 项目的毕业生）或外部的一批有前途的年轻教师中，每年将资助两名教师。任命将在仔细审查和咨询委员会推荐后作出。特别考虑从少数民族中招聘和留住初级教师。获奖者将在 1 至 2 年内花费 80% 的时间进行研究。计划中的 K12 项目将吸引、培养和保留糖尿病领域的儿科科学家，他们将在独立资助方面具有竞争力，并最终为下一代年轻研究人员形成一组高级教师导师。
