![]() Indiana University Department of Pediatrics : : Overview. The Indiana Pediatric Scientist Award (IPSA) Program . It is supported by the National Institutes of Health to provide support for pediatric junior faculty physician scientists in order to increase their ability to become independent investigators. The IPSA Program is available for pediatricians with an MD degree who have completed postgraduate residency training. ![]() Candidates must dedicate 7. Support for IPSA Scholars will be provided through a minimum of two consecutive 1. Support of Scholars is renewable at the discretion of the PD/PI, contingent upon presentation of evidence of satisfactory progress as determined by the Advisory Committee. The Scholar position is a faculty appointment, not a fellowship or extension of a fellowship position. Completion of subspecialty training is not required. Scholars may be appointed to the K1. ![]() K- 1. 2 program. The IPSA K- 1. ![]() Pediatric Oncology Education (POE) Program. The Pediatric Oncology Education program at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is funded by the National Institutes of Health / National Cancer Institute. The POE program offers a unique opportunity for students preparing for careers in the biomedical sciences, medicine, nursing, pharmacy, psychology, or public health to gain biomedical and oncology research experience. The POE program provides a short- term training experience (internship) in either laboratory research or clinical research. It provides additional support for research training for Scholars. Research in the Department of Pediatrics manages a Pediatric Research Network which. The Pediatric Scientist Development Program (PSDP) is designed to provide research training relevant to specialty areas of pediatrics and to prepare entry-level faculty for research careers in academic pediatrics. Clinical Laboratories. Cellular Therapy: BMT Laboratory; Cellular Therapy: Pediatric Laboratory; Chemistry; Hematology & Hematopathology. Clinical Lab Scientist Training Program. Information and Applications. Pediatric Residency Program: Internal Medicine. During the T32 training. Trainees will select one of two tracks to prepare for a career as a physician scientist in either basic science investigation or clinical. Learn how our pathway streamlines postgraduate training and fosters early career development. Become part of the larger physician scientist community at the UI. Physician Scientist Training; Continuing Medical Education. A primary goal of the POE program is to encourage students to pursue a career in cancer research. Thus, we are particularly interested in highly qualified students with a serious career interest in cancer research, either as a clinical scientist or laboratory- based research scientist. Jude Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences offers Ph. D degrees, with training in cutting- edge scientific fields complemented by unique mentoring in the St. Jude clinical experience. Highly motivated POE students will have the opportunity to be considered for admission to the St. Jude Graduate School upon completion of their undergraduate degree. Students participating in the Pediatric Oncology Education program will receive training in a superb academic environment created by the interaction of committed basic scientists, research- oriented physicians, and postdoctoral fellows. Depending on their special interests, trainees will spend their rotations in a clinical research or a laboratory research setting. Trainees will be matched with a faculty mentor who shares their research interests and will participate in the mentor's ongoing research projects. Trainees attend a daily Lunch & Learn series designed specifically for them, as well as other clinical and basic research conferences. Departments or divisions include: Anesthesiology (medical students only)Biostatistics. Bone Marrow Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (medical students only)Cell & molecular biology. Chemical biology & therapeutics. Developmental neurobiology. Diagnostic imaging (medical students and physics or biomedical engineering majors only)Epidemiology and cancer control (medical or graduate students)Hematology. Immunology. Infectious diseases. Neuro- oncology (one medical student only)Neuro- surgery (medical students only)Nursing research (nursing students only)Oncology (a few clinical positions for medical students and a few lab positions for others)Pathology. Pharmaceutical sciences. Psychology (psychology majors only)Radiation oncology (medical students and physics or biomedical engineering majors only)Structural biology. Surgery (medical students only)Sixty- eight US citizen students from 5. Puerto Rico participated in POE 2. Their average undergraduate GPA was 3. They included 1. 5 medical students, 4. May 2. 01. 6 graduates), five Pharm. D students, and three graduate or first year post- baccalaureate students. Eleven 2. 01. 6 participants were prior class members returning for a second POE rotation. Please note that the POE program is a PRE doctoral program. Anyone who holds a doctoral degree (e. MD, Ph. D, Pharm. D, etc.) is NOT eligible for the POE program and should NOT apply. MDs who have completed residency training in Pediatrics may be eligible for our Pediatric Hematology- Oncology Fellowship Training Program. Qualified non- US physicians may be eligible to visit St Jude through our International Outreach Program. Duration of Training. The minimum time requirement for our program is 1. St. Jude for those currently in medical school and 1. The student's daily schedule will depend on the research area in which they are working, but the student is expected to work full- time. Applicants for our 2. Monday (Tuesday, if Monday is Memorial Day) in May. Acceptable start dates for 2. May 8, May 1. 5, May 2. May 3. 0, 2. 01. 7.

Trainees MUST be a United States citizen, non- citizen national, or possess a visa permitting permanent residence in the United States. Most POE students are highly qualified undergraduate or graduate students preparing for careers in medicine or biomedical sciences. A few are attending or have been accepted into graduate, medical, pharmacy, or nursing school. POE applicants MUST have an undergraduate GPA of at least a 3. AND at least a 3. Medical, pharmacy, and graduate students must also meet the undergraduate GPA requirements. Applicants must have research experience and be in at least their sophomore of college year when they apply. At least one letter of recommendation must be from a research mentor. Medical student applicants must be attending a US medical school. There are NO EXCEPTIONS to these requirements. Subsistence Allowance and Housing. Undergraduate participants in our program will receive a $4. Group housing close to our campus will be available at no cost for POE students coming from outside the Memphis metropolitan area to participate in the program. We do not provide paid family housing. Travel expenses are the participant's responsibility. Laboratory Research Training. Trainees engaged in laboratory research work in one of the many interesting and important areas of St. Jude oncology research. Some examples of ongoing basic science projects are studies on hematopoietic growth factors and receptor signaling; cell cycle regulation, apoptosis, and the relationship between gene mutations and drug resistance. Cutting edge research is being conducted in infectious, autoimmune, and cancer immunology. Pharmacokinetic and pharmacology research involves studies of both current and new drugs and their effects on childhood cancers. Trainees gain valuable experience in basic molecular laboratory research techniques, including cloning, cell culture, sample preparation and performing assays. They may do computer research data processing and analysis under their mentor's guidance. Clinical Research Training. Medical students will work in clinical research with physicians and staff in areas such as chart review, record screening and examination, data collection and entry. Medical students may, under faculty supervision, attend clinics and observe procedures. Trainees may perform computer research data processing and analysis under their mentor's guidance. Medical students or undergraduates with sufficient computer skills may work on radiological sciences projects such as MR image analysis or radiation therapy treatment planning. Nursing students will work on nursing research projects. Oral and Written Reports. At the end of appointment, all participants are required to make a Power. Point presentation on their research project. They are also required to submit a written report on their research project in the style of a journal in which their mentor publishes. Deadline. Applications for our 2. October 1, 2. 01. All credentials must be sent to Dr. Gronemeyer (suzanne. NOT by the applicant.
