DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is an application to re-establish a mentored training program for pediatric subspecialty fellows interested in research careers involving basic or translational research. The program offers a 2-year experience dedicated to training in cell/molecular biology or translational research that is relevant to child health for 4 fellows per year and is designed to serve as a launch for a career that ultimately as an NIH R01-funded pediatric physician scientist. One of the key features of this program is that is can be used for training of fellows in a number of subspecialties within the Department of Pediatrics of the University of Pittsburgh that do not have a T32 grant (Allergy/Immunology; Cardiology; Genetics; Hematology/Oncology; Infectious Diseases; Newborn Medicine; Pulmonology). Thus, it can maximize the extramural support by targeting the most talented fellows and matching them with outstanding mentors. The mentoring faculty includes 25 outstanding researchers who have a distinguished record of research contributions and mentoring. The philosophical emphasis of this mentoring experience is fundamentals of the scientific method combined with the highest standard of excellence for rigor and integrity because we believe these are the characteristics of the training experience that are most likely to lead to a long successful career Each of the Scholars is expected to carry out a challenging research project in the laboratory of one of the faculty mentors leading to publications as well as an application for their own K08, K23 or K99/R00 grant. The Department of Pediatrics at Pitt has one of the fastest growing pediatric research programs in the country and is based on a new Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC campus with the new 300,000-square-foot CHP Rangos Pediatric Research Building. Based on these characteristics and our previous training results, we believe that this program provides a powerful team of mentors and intellectually-rich environment that will inspire pediatric subspecialty fellows and provide them with the background to become successful child health researchers.

描述（由申请人提供）：这是针对对涉及基本或转化研究的研究职业感兴趣的儿科亚专业研究员重新建立指导的培训计划的申请。该计划提供了为期2年的经验，致力于细胞/分子生物学或翻译研究的培训，该研究与儿童健康相关的4个研究员的培训 一年，旨在作为最终作为NIH R01资助的儿科医师科学家的职业发射。该计划的关键特征之一是可用于培训匹兹堡大学儿科学系的许多亚专业的研究员，而没有T32补助金（过敏/免疫学；心脏病；遗传学；血液学/肿瘤学；感染性疾病；新生儿医学；肺病）。因此，它可以通过针对最有才华的研究员并与出色的导师相匹配，从而最大程度地提高壁外支持。指导教师包括25位杰出研究人员，他们具有杰出的研究贡献和指导记录。这种指导经验的哲学重点是科学方法的基本面，结合了严格和正直的最高卓越水准，因为我们认为这些是培训经验的特征，这些特征最有可能导致长期成功的职业生涯，预计每个学者都将在一项挑战性的研究项目中进行一项挑战性的研究项目，以供他们进行一次挑战性的研究项目，以供他们使用k0 k0的k0 k0 k0 3。皮特的儿科系是该国成长最快的小儿研究计划之一，它基于UPMC校园的匹兹堡新儿童医院，并设有新的300,000平方英尺的CHP Rangos儿科研究大楼。基于这些特征和以前的培训结果，我们认为该计划提供了一个强大的导师和智力丰富的环境团队，这些团队将激发小儿的亚专业研究员，并为他们提供背景，以成为成功的儿童健康研究人员。
