Description

This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) invites applications for the pediatric scientist development program (PSDP). This program constitutes a national network of mentors and scholars, in contrast to K12 programs where the training and mentoring is based solely at a single applicant institution.The PSDP was initiated in response to the need for greater numbers of physician-scientists in pediatric research. The PSDP supports research career development for pediatricians who are in their final stages of subspecialty training and will match them with established senior investigator mentors with strong records of research productivity. The program will develop guidelines for mentoring and career development in order to promote the successful transition to independent research careers in academic settings.
