Project Summary/Abstract Research benefitting the health of children requires training a new generation of pediatric physician-scientists prepared for independent careers in basic biomedical research. The collaborative research enterprise of Emory University and Children's Healthcare of Atlanta is committed to meeting this need. During the past five year cycle of funding for the NICHD Child Health Research Career Development Program, the Atlanta Pediatric Scholars Program enrolled 8 outstanding young investigators, 3 of whom are currently continuing their K12 appointments. The 5 Scholars who have completed their appointments have been tremendously successful; one has received both R56 and R01 grants, 2 have received K08 awards, and the other 2 have K08 applications that have been reviewed and received scores in the fundable range. Collectively, APSP Scholars have published 57 manuscripts during the project period. For this renewal application, we have expanded the training faculty to 30 basic science investigators, each with an active laboratory research program, with total extramural grant support of $29.6 M and an additional $27 M in resources from start-up funds. Reflecting the program's multidisciplinary approach, 9 prospective mentors are outside the Department of Pediatrics, in other Emory departments, including the Department of Biomedical Engineering, a joint department between Emory and the Georgia Institute of Technology. Robust fellowship programs in the Department of Pediatrics and continued recruitment of junior faculty provide a large pool of outstanding Scholar candidates. The formal training curriculum is grounded in intensive laboratory research in areas of basic and translational science relevant to child health, mentored by experienced investigators, and supplemented by didactic coursework, career development training, and participation in scientific exchange. The APSP marshals Emory's extensive resources for faculty career development toward the goal of training pediatric physician-scientists. The strengths and resources of the Emory research enterprise, along with partnership with Georgia Tech, bolster a critical mass of investigators working in a variety of child health-related disciplines within the Emory Department of Pediatrics to create an ideal environment for basic research career development. The research infrastructure to support this program is therefore in place, and robust partnerships among Emory, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta and Georgia Tech continue to support recruitment and expansion of the research enterprise. Training of physician-scientists from minority and underprivileged backgrounds is a particular focus of this program, and will be facilitated by existing strengths and partnerships in Atlanta. The program includes a rigorous system for tracking and assessing progress. The Atlanta Pediatric Scholars Program is an important component of a growing academic enterprise in Atlanta focusing on child health, and is poised to provide outstanding career development for the next generation of leaders in child health research.

项目概要/摘要 有益于儿童健康的研究需要培训新一代儿科医师科学家 为基础生物医学研究的独立职业做好准备。埃默里大学合作研究企业 亚特兰大大学和儿童医疗中心致力于满足这一需求。过去五年里 NICHD 儿童健康研究职业发展计划、亚特兰大儿科的资助周期 学者计划招收了8名优秀青年研究员，其中3人目前正在继续攻读K12 约会。完成任命的 5 名学者取得了巨大的成功； 1 人同时获得 R56 和 R01 补助金，2 人获得 K08 奖项，另外 2 人获得 K08 奖项 已经过审查并获得可资助范围内分数的申请。 APSP 学者集体 项目期间发表论文57篇。对于此续订申请，我们扩展了 培训教师 30 名基础科学研究人员，每个人都有一个活跃的实验室研究项目，总计 2960 万美元的校外赠款支持和来自启动资金的额外 2700 万美元资源。反映了 该计划的多学科方法，9 名潜在导师来自儿科以外的其他部门 埃默里大学各院系，包括生物医学工程系，这是埃默里大学和埃默里大学之间的联合院系 和佐治亚理工学院。儿科和儿科部门强大的奖学金计划 持续招聘初级教师提供了大量优秀的学者候选人。正式的 培训课程以基础科学和转化科学领域的深入实验室研究为基础 与儿童健康相关，由经验丰富的调查人员指导，并辅以教学课程， 职业发展培训，以及参与科学交流。 APSP 整理了埃默里大学广泛的 为教师职业发展提供资源，以实现培养儿科医师科学家的目标。这 埃默里大学研究企业的优势和资源，以及与佐治亚理工学院的合作，增强了 埃默里大学内从事各种儿童健康相关学科工作的大量研究人员 儿科为基础研究事业发展创造了理想的环境。研究 因此，支持该计划的基础设施已经到位，埃默里大学、儿童医院之间也建立了强有力的伙伴关系。 亚特兰大医疗保健和佐治亚理工学院继续支持研究的招募和扩展 企业。来自少数族裔和贫困背景的医师科学家的培训是一个特别重点 该计划的实施，并将通过亚特兰大现有的优势和合作伙伴关系得到促进。该计划包括一个 严格的跟踪和评估进度的系统。亚特兰大儿科学者计划是一个重要的项目 亚特兰大一家不断发展的学术企业的一部分，专注于儿童健康，并准备提供 为儿童健康研究的下一代领导者提供杰出的职业发展。
