# Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition Training Grant

> **NIH NIH T32** · CINCINNATI CHILDRENS HOSP MED CTR · 2020 · $395,634

## Abstract

This application requests continued funding for an innovative and highly successful T32 training program in
Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (GI) at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. The
training program, funded by the NIH for 25 years, has consistently produced much-needed academic pediatric
gastroenterologists. The Aims of our Program are:
(1) To attract, recruit, and retain the highest quality fellows into our Program
(2) To offer state of the art training to prepare fellows for an academic research career
(3) To train physician scientists who will become leaders in academic medical centers
Through a combination of supervised research, graduate level coursework, and dedicated mentorship provided
by a consortium of primary research mentors and scholarship oversight committees, six postdoctoral trainees
have a unique opportunity to develop outstanding skills and leadership over a training period of two years. We
have chosen to offer this training across four key targeted areas and diseases which are aligned with the focus
groups of our P30 NIDDK-supported Digestive Health Center (DDRCC) including: 1) Liver Disease and
Modeling; 2) Digestive Disease and Immunity; 3) Digestive Disease and Obesity; and 4) Translational
Embryology.
Research training is pursued on either the Clinical or Basic/Translational Research Tracks. Outcomes, health
services, or epidemiologic research projects are completed on the Clinical Research track, and include a
formal program of study leading to either a Master of Science degree, or Certificate, in Clinical and
Translational research. Laboratory-based research projects are completed on the Basic/Translational
Research track, and include a formal program of study leading to a Certificate in Clinical and Translational
Research. Each of these didactic programs provides instruction in ethics in research, study design, and
statistical analysis to provide training in rigor and reproducibility of the research projects. The depth and quality
of the research training is monitored by an interdisciplinary team of outstanding scientists with strong
training and mentoring track records. The long-term goal of the program remains to foster the development of
outstanding physician- investigators and leaders who will meet the tremendously underserved academic
workforce needs in Pediatric GI.
