This Pediatric Scientist Development Program (PSDP) funding opportunity addresses the vital need for an increased number of physician-scientists dedicated to pediatric research. Distinct from traditional K12 programs, which are institution-centric, the PSDP operates as a national network. It specifically targets pediatricians nearing the completion of their subspecialty training, matching them with highly productive senior investigator mentors. The program’s core objective is to support comprehensive research career development, establishing robust guidelines for mentoring and fostering professional growth. Ultimately, this initiative is designed to ensure a successful transition for these emerging scholars into independent research careers within academic environments, thereby advancing pediatric science.

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. |
