SUMMARY:The Postdoctoral Research Training in Child Health EquityProgram is designed to prepare MD and PhD postdoctoral fellows with the knowledge, skills, and experiences necessary to conduct child health equity research with pediatric populations with a focus on respiratory, cardiovascular/metabolic and sleep health, and related lifestyle behaviors. The program will prepare postdoctoral trainees each year who will obtain a strong background in child health equity research methods and skills to develop impactful, rigorous community-engaged research to reduces health disparities. The program will integrate: 1) team-based research mentorship from investigators who have expertise in the targeted areas of focus, 2) rigorous didactic training that integrates consideration of child health equity in all aspects of the research process, 3) training in state-of-the-art clinical research and community focused methodologies, and 4) professional development opportunities to promote academic careers in child health equity. Fellows will have an MD with training in a related specialty (e.g., pediatrics, obstetrics/gynecology, emergency medicine, psychiatry) or PhD in a behavioral health-related field (psychology, public health/epidemiology, sociology). The Postdoctoral Research Training in Child Health EquityProgram will allow fellows to emerge as innovative and productive independent investigators through (i) intensive mentorship in an apprentice model by expert faculty mentors (ii) cutting-edge and foundational didactics, and (iii) formulation of an independent research project and grant proposal. Mentors include PhDs and MDs with a breadth of research interests and transdisciplinary expertise from pediatrics and associated specialties, behavioral science, and public health. Postdoctoral fellowships typically involve two full-time research training years.
