DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): There is a profound need for newly trained physician/scientists to enter academic careers in Neonatology. The Division of Neonatology at Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital has, for several decades, trained fellowship graduates to assume national and international leadership roles in Neonatology. We are proud of our accomplishments in the initial funding cycle of this T32 which include placement of all five T32 fellows in academic faculty careers, and a marked increase in the pool of TGE applicants. In this proposal we will enable trainees to address a broad spectrum of neonatal morbidities by focusing on our existing scientific strengths in respiratory neurobiology, brain development, and neurodevelopmental outcome and inflammation. We have an accomplished M.D. and Ph.D. mentoring faculty with scientific expertise in these three thematic areas, encompassing both basic translational and patient oriented research. We will recruit trainees to a two-year intensive research immersion under the mentorship of established investigators within one of these thematic areas. A mentorship committee may include "near peer" junior faculty preceptors to serve as trainee role models in addition to senior faculty mentors. As the primary mentor experience of the trainee is critical for success, we have chosen mentoring faculty with a strong track record for physician/scientist training, and will provide close monitoring of the trainee/mentorship relationship. Trainees will be exposed to a well-structured didactic program to provide all the necessary skills for academic career development. Optional curricular activities will be designed for the chosen field of basic science or epidemiologic research [e.g., award of a Master's of Science degree in Clinical Research]. Oversight will occur via both stringent Internal Steering Committee review and an External Review Committee of highly regarded academic leaders in Neonatology. New strategies have been initiated to recruit minority and otherwise disadvantaged candidates to ensure a diversity of trainees committed to a successful transition from fellowship to basic translational or patient-oriented research focused on improving neonatal health. In summary, we are poised to build upon the success of our prior T32 funding cycle by incorporating new experienced investigators into the existing pool of mentors, all of whom are focused on neurorespiratory maturation and inflammatory pathways that contribute to resultant morbidities.

描述（由申请人提供）：新训练的医师/科学家非常需要从事新生儿学的学术职业。几十年来，彩虹婴儿与儿童医院的新生儿学部门一直在培训的奖学金毕业生担任新生儿学的国家和国际领导角色。我们为自己在T32的最初资助周期中的成就感到自豪，其中包括将所有五个T32研究员安置在学术教师职业中，以及TGE申请人池的显着增加。在这项建议中，我们将通过关注我们在呼吸神经生物学，脑发育以及神经发育结果和炎症方面的科学强度来解决广泛的新生儿病毒。我们拥有一项完成的医学博士学位和博士学位。在这三个主题领域中具有科学专业知识的指导教师，涵盖了基本的转化和以患者为导向的研究。我们将招募学员参加为期两年的密集 在这些主题领域之一的既定研究人员的指导下进行研究。指导委员会可能包括“附近”初级教师主持人，除了高级教师导师外，还可以担任学员榜样。由于学员的主要导师经验对于成功至关重要，因此我们选择了通过医师/科学家培训的良好记录来指导教师，并将对学员/指导关系进行密切监控。学员将接触到结构良好的教学计划，以提供所有必要的学术职业发展技能。可选的课程活动 将设计用于所选的基础科学或流行病学研究领域[例如，授予临床研究硕士学位]。监督将通过严格的内部指导委员会审查和新生儿学学术领导者的外部审查委员会进行。已经制定了新的策略，以招募少数群体和其他弱势候选人，以确保多样化的学员成功地从研究金转变为基本转化或以患者为导向的研究，重点是改善新生儿健康。总而言之，我们有望通过将新经验丰富的研究人员纳入现有的导师库来基于我们先前的T32融资周期的成功，他们都专注于神经验证的成熟和炎症途径，这导致了导致导致的病态。
