DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application aims to foster the career development of a diverse and exceptionally well trained group of pediatric endocrinologists entering the field of pediatric diabetes research through a joint institutional career development program at the Joslin Diabetes Center and Children's Hospital Boston. Through mentored training of pediatric endocrine scholars who have completed fellowships in pediatric endocrinology, this joint program will support and nurture career development of junior faculty in biomedical and behavioral diabetes investigation relevant to type 1 diabetes. Based upon the longstanding history of collaboration between the Joslin Diabetes Center and Children's Hospital Boston, our extensive diabetes research programs, and our record of successful career development of pediatric endocrinologists becoming independent diabetes researchers with support from our recently completed K12 career development grant for pediatric diabetologists, we aim to mentor a new group of pediatric endocrinologists who will become future leaders of pediatric diabetes programs in the United States. Each year we will provide career development and support for up to 3 years for 3 recent graduates of pediatric endocrinology fellowship programs. The Joslin Diabetes Center and the Children's Hospital Boston are ideally suited for this institutional career development award due to our extensive group of faculty mentors, multi-disciplinary training programs, commitment to mentoring pre- doctoral and post-doctoral fellows and junior faculty in research relevant to type 1 diabetes, and our available pool of diverse, talented candidates for appointment to the K12 program. The rationale for the application includes: the increased occurrence of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes in childhood, the need to discover the root causes of type 1 and type 2 diabetes, the challenges of achieving optimal glycemic control in youth, the high risk of short- and long-term diabetes complications, the need for additional research to increase our understanding of uncommon genetic forms of diabetes, the demands of implementing and maintaining intensive insulin therapy and new monitoring technologies in children, and the need for trained and committed pediatric diabetes investigators to advance research aimed at treating, preventing and curing these disorders. Given the history of diabetes research at our institutions and the richness of the Harvard Medical School environment, this joint application offers a unique setting for career development of pediatric endocrinologists committed to careers in pediatric diabetes. Co-Principal Investigator and Program Director Lori Laffel MD MPH and Co-Principal Investigator Morris White PhD, supported by an Advisory Committee, are in optimal positions to orchestrate this endeavor. Career development is enhanced by Joslin's NIH-supported Diabetes Research Center (formerly DERC), Harvard's CTSA, and Harvard's Catalyst Program. We have consistently demonstrated the ability to attract highly qualified candidates to our training programs and look forward to meeting the challenge of nurturing the careers of pediatric endocrinologists as pediatric diabetes investigators.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请旨在通过乔斯林糖尿病中心和波士顿儿童医院的联合机构职业发展计划，通过一项共同的机构职业发展计划来促进各种各样训练有素的儿科内分泌学家的职业发展。通过完成已经完成儿科内分泌学奖学金的小儿内分泌学者的指导培训，该联合计划将支持和培育与1型糖尿病相关的生物医学和行为糖尿病研究中初级教师的职业发展。基于乔斯林糖尿病中心与波士顿儿童医院，我们广泛的糖尿病研究计划的长期合作历史，以及我们在最近完成的K12职业生涯发展的儿童糖尿病学家的职业发展的儿童糖尿病学家的支持下成为独立的糖尿病研究人员的儿科内分泌学家的成功记录的记录美国糖尿病计划。每年，我们将为3年的3年毕业生提供职业发展和支持。 The Joslin Diabetes Center and the Children's Hospital Boston are ideally suited for this institutional career development award due to our extensive group of faculty mentors, multi-disciplinary training programs, commitment to mentoring pre- doctoral and post-doctoral fellows and junior faculty in research relevant to type 1 diabetes, and our available pool of diverse, talented candidates for appointment to the K12 program.
