Research Experience in the Program

The Research Experience

Each fellow has a dedicated research block of 15 months for a clinical or basic science research project. During the research component of the fellowship, clinic time is reduced to continuity clinics only, usually 2 full days per month within the UH Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital system. This enables the fellow to dedicate 80% of his or her time to the research project.

Fellows choose a project and faculty mentor during a 6-7 week research block in the first year of fellowship. A Scholarship Oversight Committee (SOC) is also established at this time. Protected research time to execute the project occurs for 12 months from January of the second year through December of the third year. Manuscript preparation occurs during 5-6 weeks of protected time in the last half of the third year. The research experience of every fellow is supervised either by endocrine division faculty or by other members of the faculty at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine.

Research funding is available to pediatric endocrinology fellows from the Department of Pediatrics at UH Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital through the Fellowship Research Award in Pediatrics (FRAP). Divisional funds may also be available, depending on the specific project. Finally, opportunities exist to write grant proposals for external funding of research projects.

In addition to a formal research project, fellows also choose and complete a Quality Improvement project during fellowship. These projects can be inpatient or outpatient focused and can be division specific or multidisciplinary.

Fellows are also expected to work with faculty to present interesting case reports or case series at national meetings, followed by publication in academic journals.

Periodic research and QI updates occur during weekly divisional conference meetings. Our fellows and faculty also present their findings at oral and poster presentations at national meetings of major academic societies, including the Pediatric Endocrine Society, the American Diabetes Association, The Endocrine Society, and the International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes. In addition, all fellows present their work locally at the annual Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital Fellow Science Day in June.
