DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) proposes to continue our NICHD-sponsored Child Health Research Career Development Award (CHRCDA) K12 Training Program. Our goal is to increase the number and effectiveness of subspecialty pediatricians with rigorous training and well developed skills in molecular techniques by identifying and training promising pediatric faculty to become successful physician-scientists, and by encouraging these individuals to address questions of fundamental importance to health and disease in children. Candidates for our program will be CHOP junior faculty either appointed from our outstanding pool of subspecialty fellowship trainees, who in turn are identified through national searches to identify the best and the brightest, or from candidates identified by broad recruitment strategies. We will support 3 Scholars per year who are graduates of Pediatric Subspecialty Fellowship Programs, and support each Scholar for an average of two years. Each candidate will choose a prospective mentor from a group of 44 mentors, 39 from CHOP (Pediatrics, Pathology, and Surgery) and five from the University of Pennsylvania (Penn). These CHRCDA mentors were chosen by the following criteria: rigorous science and productivity in areas germane to pediatrics, a strong record of successful mentoring with collaborative research interactions, a strong record of extramural funding, and programmatic balance. Pediatric Scholars will conduct research as outlined in their formal research applications. They will have ready access to a comprehensive array of research core laboratories, and they will have ample opportunity to exchange ideas in both formal and informal settings with senior and other junior investigators. In the past 20 years, we have been highly successful in catalyzing the production of physician-scientists capable of conducting fundamental, independent research. We have trained 54 Pediatric Scholars from a wide range of subspecialties, and these Scholars have been highly successful in terms of publications, grant support, academic positions, and positions of leadership. Our Diversity Recruitment Officer leads a plan to recruit, retain, mentor, and inspire physician-scientists from underrepresented minorities, persons with disabilities, or other disadvantaged persons who will assume prominent roles in pediatric medical research. Besides the Principal Investigator/Program Director, Training Director and Diversity Recruitment Officer, we have Internal Advisors and an External Advisory Committee that have the following responsibilities: 1) solicit and select applicants; 2) monitor the progress of CHRCDA Pediatric Scholars; and 3) assess the overall effectiveness of the CHRCDA as a career development program. This grant takes advantage of the tremendous strengths of CHOP as an academic pediatric institution with an outstanding pool of subspecialty fellows, a large number of experienced mentors, and cutting edge research programs. CHOP and Penn provide a very comprehensive, well-supported and resource-intense environment, as well as a proven track record of training basic and translational academic investigators to become independent physician-scientists.

描述（由申请人提供）：费城儿童医院 (CHOP) 建议继续我们的 NICHD 赞助的儿童健康研究职业发展奖 (CHRCDA) K12 培训计划。我们的目标是通过识别和培训有前途的儿科教师成为成功的医师科学家，并鼓励这些人解决对健康和健康至关重要的问题，增加在分子技术方面经过严格培训和完善技能的专科儿科医生的数量和效率。儿童疾病。我们项目的候选人将是 CHOP 初级教师，要么是从我们优秀的专科奖学金实习生库中任命的，这些实习生又是通过全国搜索来确定最优秀和最聪明的人的，或者是从广泛的招聘策略确定的候选人中任命的。我们每年将支持 3 名儿科专科奖学金项目的毕业生，平均支持每位学者两年。每位候选人将从 44 名导师中选择一名未来导师，其中 39 名来自 CHOP（儿科、病理学和外科），5 名来自宾夕法尼亚大学 (Penn)。这些 CHRCDA 导师的选择标准如下：儿科相关领域的严谨科学和生产力、在合作研究互动方面成功指导的良好记录、校外资助的良好记录以及项目平衡。儿科学者将按照其正式研究申请中的概述进行研究。他们将可以随时进入一系列全面的研究核心实验室，并且有充足的机会在正式和非正式场合与高级和其他初级研究人员交流想法。在过去的 20 年里，我们在促进培养能够进行基础性独立研究的医师科学家方面取得了巨大成功。我们已经培养了 54 名来自各个专业的儿科学者，这些学者在出版物、资助支持、学术职位和领导职位方面都取得了巨大成功。我们的多元化招聘官领导一项计划，招募、保留、指导和激励来自代表性不足的少数族裔、残疾人或其他弱势群体的医师科学家，他们将在儿科医学研究中发挥重要作用。除了首席研究员/项目总监、培训总监和多元化招聘官员外，我们还有内部顾问和外部咨询委员会，其职责如下： 1）招揽和选择申请人； 2) 监测CHRCDA儿科学者的进展； 3) 评估 CHRCDA 作为职业发展计划的整体有效性。这项资助充分利用了 CHOP 作为儿科学术机构的巨大优势，拥有优秀的专科研究员、大量经验丰富的导师和前沿的研究项目。 CHOP 和宾夕法尼亚大学提供了一个非常全面、支持良好和资源密集的环境，以及在培训基础和转化学术研究人员成为独立医师科学家方面的良好记录。
