DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Duke Department of Pediatrics' training program is based on developing pediatric Junior Faculty into physician-scientists who are skilled in cutting-edge methods of laboratory research and who will pursue independent academic careers investigating important issues related to childhood diseases. Our program is based on our pool of outstanding candidates, a strong curriculum of didactic courses, experienced mentors who perform state-of-the-art research, and an excellent research environment. Our commitment to develop future academic pediatricians is evidenced by the academic success of our Junior Faculty. Our Principal Investigator is Dr. Joseph St. Geme, III, Chairman of the Department who is assisted by Dr. Page Anderson, Program Director, Dr. Delbert Wigfall, Minority Recruitment Advisor, and an Internal and External Advisory Committee. Four young scholars will be supported each year. They will be drawn primarily from our fellows and Junior Faculty. Recruitment of underrepresented minorities is a focus of the program. Our faculty, which includes many mentors from other Departments, has strong track records in research, funding, and mentoring. Our research training centers are in the areas of Developmental Biology, Cell Biology and Cell Signaling, Microbiology and Immunology, and Genetics, Genomics, and Proteomics. Didactic courses, including a multi-lecture course on writing, will complement the laboratory research experiences, enabling the trainees to write and submit grant applications to support their career. The trainees will be required to take a five lecture course in Responsible Conduct of Research. The young Scholars will have access to all the research resources of the NCI-funded Comprehensive Cancer Center, the shared facilities at Duke University, the Institute for Genome Sciences and Policy, and the Center for Human Genetics.

描述（由申请人提供）：杜克大学儿科系的培训计划旨在将儿科初级教师培养成为医师科学家，他们精通实验室研究的前沿方法，并将追求独立的学术职业，调查与儿童相关的重要问题疾病。我们的项目基于我们优秀的候选人库、强大的教学课程、进行最先进研究的经验丰富的导师以及卓越的研究环境。我们初级教师的学术成功证明了我们对培养未来学术儿科医生的承诺。我们的首席研究员是系主任 Joseph St. Geme, III 博士，由项目主任 Page Anderson 博士、少数族裔招聘顾问 Delbert Wigfall 博士以及内部和外部咨询委员会协助。每年资助四名青年学者。他们将主要来自我们的研究员和初级教师。招募代表性不足的少数族裔是该计划的重点。我们的教师包括来自其他系的许多导师，在研究、资助和指导方面拥有良好的记录。我们的研究培训中心涉及发育生物学、细胞生物学和细胞信号转导、微生物学和免疫学、遗传学、基因组学和蛋白质组学等领域。教学课程，包括关于写作的多讲座课程，将补充实验室研究经验，使学员能够撰写和提交资助申请以支持他们的职业生涯。学员将被要求参加五堂负责任的研究行为课程。年轻学者将可以使用 NCI 资助的综合癌症中心、杜克大学的共享设施、基因组科学与政策研究所以及人类遗传学中心的所有研究资源。
