DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): As a nation, we are facing a growing epidemic of chronic respiratory diseases that have their origins in childhood. Yet, there is a severe shortage of pediatric pulmonologists with the expertise to investigate the basic pathogenesis of respiratory diseases or to develop or critically evaluate new therapies. Out of over 220 NHLBI-funded T32 research training programs, there are only 3 NIH-funded T32 programs dedicated to the research training of pediatric pulmonary physician-scientists. The Duke Multidisciplinary Training Program in Pediatric Lung Disease is designed to develop pediatric pulmonary fellows into well-trained physician-scientists who will be future leaders of basic, translational and clinical research. We have two tracks: a basic research track and a clinical research track. Our basic research track is supported by successful investigators whose research focuses on lung cell and molecular biology, genomics, lung injury, inflammation, immunology and repair, lung development and lung stem cell biology that impact on the science that underlies the pathophysiology of diseases of the lung. Fellows have an intensive hands-on experience in the laboratory and take didactic courses that supplement this training. Our clinical research component is strongly supported by the Duke Clinical Research Training Program, with opportunities for fellows to enroll in the Master's Program in Health Sciences and Clinical Research and graduate programs in Biostatistics and Epidemiology. The rich multidisciplinary environment is supported by all the fellows' participating in three monthly seminar series. The Program leadership are supported by an Internal Advisory Board made up of Duke University Medical Center Faculty who are T32 Principal Investigators. They assess the trainees' progress and the preceptor's mentoring. Recruitment of trainees from underrepresented minorities is a program focus. An External Advisory Board, made up of internationally recognized successful investigators, who are currently or have been on oversight committees for NHLBI-funded T32 research training programs, reviews the program, advises as to the overall program direction and helps ensure successful transition of the trainees into academic careers. A strong mentored research experience is provided. The preceptors and trainees formally assess each other every six months. Our programs' goal is to develop fellows who will have the experience and capabilities needed for a successful long term research career.

描述（由申请人提供）： 作为一个国家，我们面临着越来越多的慢性呼吸道疾病的流行，其起源于童年。然而，在研究呼吸道疾病的基本发病机理或开发或严格评估新疗法的基本发病机理方面，小儿肺病学家严重短缺。在220多个NHLBI资助的T32研究培训计划中，只有3个由NIH资助的T32计划致力于小儿肺医生 - 科学家的研究培训。小儿肺部疾病的杜克大学多学科培训计划旨在将小儿肺研究员发展成训练有素的医师科学家，他们将成为基本，转化和临床研究的未来领导者。我们有两个轨道：基础研究轨道和临床研究轨道。我们的基础研究轨道得到了成功的研究人员的支持，他们的研究重点是肺部细胞和分子生物学，基因组学，肺损伤，炎症，免疫学和修复，肺发育和肺部干细胞生物学，影响肺部疾病病理生理学的科学。研究员在实验室中具有丰富的动手经验，并参加了补充这项培训的教学课程。我们的临床研究组成部分得到了杜克临床研究培训计划的强烈支持，并有机会参加硕士课程，从事健康科学和临床研究和生物统计学和流行病学研究生计划。富裕的多学科环境得到了所有参加三个每月研讨会系列的研究员的支持。该计划领导者得到了由T32首席调查员的杜克大学医学中心教师组成的内部顾问委员会的支持。他们评估了受训者的进步和导师的指导。从代表性不足的少数民族中招募受训者是计划的重点。由国际认可的成功调查人员组成的外部顾问委员会，他们目前正在或已担任NHLBI资助的T32研究培训计划的监督委员会，对该计划进行了审查，该计划对总体计划方向进行了建议，并有助于确保成功过渡到受训者到学术职业人士。提供了强大的指导研究经验。受体和受训者每六个月正式进行一次正式评估。我们的计划的目标是发展研究员，他们将拥有成功的长期研究职业所需的经验和能力。
