DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): As a nation, we are facing a growing epidemic of chronic respiratory diseases that have their origins in childhood. Yet, there is a severe shortage of pediatric pulmonologists with the expertise to investigate the basic pathogenesis of respiratory diseases or to develop or critically evaluate new therapies. Out of over 220 NHLBI-funded T32 research training programs, there are only 3 NIH-funded T32 programs dedicated to the research training of pediatric pulmonary physician-scientists. The Duke Multidisciplinary Training Program in Pediatric Lung Disease is designed to develop pediatric pulmonary fellows into well-trained physician-scientists who will be future leaders of basic, translational and clinical research. We have two tracks: a basic research track and a clinical research track. Our basic research track is supported by successful investigators whose research focuses on lung cell and molecular biology, genomics, lung injury, inflammation, immunology and repair, lung development and lung stem cell biology that impact on the science that underlies the pathophysiology of diseases of the lung. Fellows have an intensive hands-on experience in the laboratory and take didactic courses that supplement this training. Our clinical research component is strongly supported by the Duke Clinical Research Training Program, with opportunities for fellows to enroll in the Master's Program in Health Sciences and Clinical Research and graduate programs in Biostatistics and Epidemiology. The rich multidisciplinary environment is supported by all the fellows' participating in three monthly seminar series. The Program leadership are supported by an Internal Advisory Board made up of Duke University Medical Center Faculty who are T32 Principal Investigators. They assess the trainees' progress and the preceptor's mentoring. Recruitment of trainees from underrepresented minorities is a program focus. An External Advisory Board, made up of internationally recognized successful investigators, who are currently or have been on oversight committees for NHLBI-funded T32 research training programs, reviews the program, advises as to the overall program direction and helps ensure successful transition of the trainees into academic careers. A strong mentored research experience is provided. The preceptors and trainees formally assess each other every six months. Our programs' goal is to develop fellows who will have the experience and capabilities needed for a successful long term research career.

描述（由申请人提供）： 作为一个国家，我们面临着日益流行的慢性呼吸道疾病，这些疾病起源于儿童时期。然而，具有研究呼吸系统疾病基本发病机制或开发或严格评估新疗法的专业知识的儿科肺科医生严重短缺。在 NHLBI 资助的 220 多个 T32 研究培训项目中，只有 3 个 NIH 资助的 T32 项目致力于儿科肺科医师科学家的研究培训。杜克小儿肺病多学科培训项目旨在将小儿肺病研究员培养成为训练有素的医师科学家，他们将成为基础、转化和临床研究的未来领导者。我们有两个方向：基础研究方向和临床研究方向。我们的基础研究轨迹得到了成功研究人员的支持，他们的研究重点是肺细胞和分子生物学、基因组学、肺损伤、炎症、免疫学和修复、肺发育和肺干细胞生物学，这些领域对疾病病理生理学的科学产生影响。肺。研究员在实验室拥有丰富的实践经验，并参加补充培训的教学课程。我们的临床研究部分得到了杜克大学临床研究培训计划的大力支持，为研究员提供了参加健康科学和临床研究硕士课程以及生物统计学和流行病学研究生课程的机会。所有研究员参加为期三个月的系列研讨会，为丰富的多学科环境提供了支持。该项目领导层得到内部顾问委员会的支持，该委员会由杜克大学医学中心 T32 首席研究员组成。他们评估学员的进步和导师的指导。招募来自代表性不足的少数族裔的学员是该计划的一个重点。外部咨询委员会由国际公认的成功研究人员组成，他们目前或曾经是 NHLBI 资助的 T32 研究培训项目监督委员会的成员，负责审查该项目，就总体项目方向提出建议，并帮助确保学员成功过渡进入学术生涯。提供强有力的指导研究经验。导师和学员每六个月正式相互评估一次。我们项目的目标是培养具有成功的长期研究生涯所需的经验和能力的研究员。
