Program Objective
The primary objective of the Pediatric Clinical Pharmacology Research Career Development program is to support pediatric research-intensive institutions in the development of creative, innovative, independent researchers, who will have the skills necessary to conduct rigorous and reproducible research, and to transition successfully into independent academic careers in the biomedical research workforce. Each program should provide high-quality research training, mentored research experiences, including training in appropriate methods, technologies, relevant quantitative/computational approaches, rigorous experimental design, and interpretation of data, and professional development skills such as interdisciplinary collaboration, communication, management, leadership, and teamwork. These programs will serve as a bridge between formal research training and the receipt of independent research grants.
Applications for this award should propose a research plan which has both intrinsic and extrinsic research importance and will also serve as a suitable vehicle for learning the methodology, theories, and conceptualizations necessary for a well-trained independent researcher. The Program Director/Principal Investigator will select the scholars and develop mentored research experiences, promote technical and professional skills development, and support a program of coursework, appropriate for the selected trainees. The entire program should be designed to:
- increase, enhance and diversify the pool of investigators (doctoral biomedical professionals, including, but not limited to, MD, DO, PharmD, PhD, DC, ND, DDS, DMD, DVM, ScD, DNS, or equivalent biomedical professional doctoral degrees) trained in clinical and translational pediatric clinical pharmacology research, and to promote their career development as clinical pharmacology researchers.
- provide opportunity for early career awardees to conduct their research independently at institutions without strong clinical pharmacology programs while getting formal mentorship, magnifying exposure to rigorous clinical research programs and support (with possible collaboration) from leading clinical pharmacologists, thus ensuring competitiveness for major grant support.
- provide continued development of research leaders in the field of clinical pharmacology, building a strong foundation in research design, methods, and analytic techniques appropriate for a more comprehensive clinical pharmacology research area.
