DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is an application for continued support of the training program in Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). The program has been funded continuously for the past 29 years, and represents the only NIH-supported training facility for this specialty in the Western US. The program objective is to prepare trainees for productive research in pediatric gastroenterology, hepatology and nutrition. The majority of graduates (70%) have proceeded to academic careers. Five years ago, this training grant was restructured to take advantage of the merger between UCSF and Stanford University. With dissolution of the merger, the program is reconfigured in recognition of the current academic environment that requires all trainees to understand molecular and genetic bases of pediatric disorders within the context of new modalities of health care services and value-based research. The program now strives to train highly selected prospects for academic pediatric gastroenterology to function within a team framework, coordinating the efforts of medical scientists with molecular and cell biologists, physiologists, bioengineers, ethnographers, and bioethicists. The current application proposes a more systematic and streamlined approach by (1) training within two primary career paths - Basic Research and Clinical Research - and (2) reducing the number of trainees in the program at any one time. Trainees receive 2-3 years of intensive didactic and practical instruction in basic laboratory or clinical research methods in the context of their own research project. The curriculum combines instruction in developmental aspects of gastrointestinal structure and function with practical experience in laboratory- and/or clinically-based research focused on biomechanisms of growth and differentiation, and disorders which interfere with orderly development. Educational exercises include formal lectures, seminars prepared by trainees, interdisciplinary presentations, and informal discussions of ongoing projects. Trainees attend courses in biostatistics, computer science, principles of bioresearch, and investigational ethics. Each trainee pursues an obligatory research project(s) supervised by experienced preceptors. Requirements are a MD degree and 3 years of residency in clinical pediatrics. Applicants with PhD degrees and defined career goals related to developmental gastroenterology or nutrition are also eligible. The program is administered in the Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition, but utilizes the scientific resources of the entire UCSF campus. Trainees have access to preceptors and laboratories, with associated training resources, in a multidisciplinary environment. Training program leadership is now centralized under the direct supervision of Dr. Melvin B. Heyman, supported by a new K24 grant for mentoring and clinical investigation. Key faculty include two Associate Directors, Core Divisional Faculty and Senior Faculty Mentors with professorial positions at UCSF. Support for 3 trainees per year is requested

描述（由申请人提供）： 这是加利福尼亚大学旧金山大学（UCSF）的小儿胃肠病学和营养培训计划的持续支持。该计划在过去的29年中一直在不断资助，这代表了美国西部专业的唯一由NIH支持的培训设施。该计划的目标是为学员准备小儿胃肠病，肝病学和营养的生产研究。大多数毕业生（70％）已经从事学术职业。五年前，这项培训赠款进行了重组，以利用UCSF与斯坦福大学之间的合并。随着合并的解散，该计划是为了承认当前的学术环境而重新配置，这要求所有学员在新的医疗保健服务和基于价值的研究的新方式中了解小儿疾病的分子和遗传基础。现在，该计划努力培训高度选择的学术儿科胃肠病学的前景，以在团队框架内发挥作用，协调医学科学家与分子和细胞生物学家，生理学家，生物工程师，人种志师和生物伦理学家的努力。当前的申请通过（1）在两种主要职业道路（基础研究和临床研究）中进行培训提出了一种更加系统和简化的方法，以及（2）一次减少该计划中的受训者人数。在自己的研究项目的背景下，学员在基本​​实验室或临床研究方法中获得了2 - 3年的强化教学和实践指导。该课程结合了胃肠道结构和功能的发展方面的指导与实验室和/或基于临床的研究的实践经验，重点是生长和分化的生物力学，以及干扰有序发展的疾病。教育练习包括正式的讲座，由学员准备的研讨会，跨学科演讲以及对正在进行的项目的非正式讨论。学员参加了生物统计学，计算机科学，生物搜索原理和研究伦理学课程。每个学员都会追求由经验丰富的受体监督的强制性研究项目。要求是MD学位和临床儿科的3年居留。具有博士学位学位的申请人以及与发育性胃肠病学或营养有关的职业目标也有资格。该计划是在小儿胃肠病学，肝病学和营养的部门中管理的，但利用了整个UCSF校园的科学资源。在多学科环境中，受训人员可以访问具有相关培训资源的主持人和实验室。培训计划领导力现在是在梅尔文·B·海曼（Melvin B. Heyman）博士的直接监督下集中的，并得到了新的K24赠款，用于指导和临床调查。主要教师包括两名副主任，核心分区教师和高级教师导师，并在UCSF担任教授职位。要求每年支持3名学员
