DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The postdoctoral Pediatric Endocrinology and Diabetes Training Program at the University of Michigan is designed to recruit and provide high quality research training in one of two major tracks, Basic Science or Clinical Investigation & Epidemiology to qualified candidates. The theme of the Program is developmental programming of endocrine disorders. The program is organized to complement the established training program in clinical pediatric endocrinology for M.D.s, and for basic scientist pursuing a career in endocrine research, by providing 2 years of intensive postdoctoral training using closely-mentored research training program individialy structured for each trainee. The program is actively supported by 19 faculty from 12 different departments, all of whom have extensive research and mentoring experience. The Program also includes an extensive didactic component tailored to each trainee's educational background and research interests. Trainees in the Basic Sciences complete a 3-month course designed to expose them to a variety of state-of-the-art techniques, as well as to skills in performing hypothesis-driven, controlled research studies. Trainees in the Clinical Investigation & Epidemiology choose between Outcomes & Epidemiology or Clinical Research. They complete courses leading to either a Master of Public Health in Biostatistics & Epidemiology or a Master of Science in Clinical Research Design & Statistical Analysis. In addition to the formal curriculum, trainees attend weekly clinical and research seminars. Mentored research is supported the Medical School resourses including the Centers of Integrative Genomics, Proteomics, Organogenesis and Diabetes and the Center for Advancement of Clinical Research. To optimize each trainee's potential for development of a successful academic career, trainees are required to submit abstracts to national meetings, submit a first-authored research manuscript, and apply for individual grant funding. Expansion of our Program will help alleviate the critical shortage of successful Pediatric Endocrinologists and Pediatric Physician-Scientists

描述（由申请人提供）： 密歇根大学的儿科内分泌和糖尿病博士后培训项目旨在招募合格的候选人，并为其提供基础科学或临床调查与流行病学两个主要方向之一的高质量研究培训。该计划的主题是内分泌失调的发育规划。该项目的组织目的是为了补充为医学博士和从事内分泌研究职业的基础科学家制定的临床儿科内分泌学培训项目，通过使用为每位学员单独设计的密切指导的研究培训项目，提供为期 2 年的强化博士后培训。该项目得到了来自 12 个不同院系的 19 名教师的积极支持，他们都拥有丰富的研究和指导经验。该计划还包括根据每位学员的教育背景和研究兴趣量身定制的广泛教学内容。基础科学学员完成为期 3 个月的课程，旨在让他们接触各种最先进的技术，以及进行假设驱动的对照研究的技能。临床调查和流行病学的学员可以在结果和流行病学或临床研究之间进行选择。他们完成的课程将获得生物统计学和流行病学公共卫生硕士学位或临床研究设计和统计分析理学硕士学位。除了正式课程外，学员还参加每周的临床和研究研讨会。指导研究得到医学院资源的支持，包括综合基因组学、蛋白质组学、器官发生和糖尿病中心以及临床研究促进中心。为了充分发挥每位学员成功学术生涯发​​展的潜力，学员必须向全国会议提交摘要，提交第一作者的研究手稿，并申请个人拨款资助。扩大我们的计划将有助于缓解成功的儿科内分泌学家和儿科医师科学家的严重短缺问题
