In 1992 he was appointed by the NICHD to Chair the Collaborative Home Infant Monitoring Evaluat ion, a program to study efficacy of home monitoring for SIDS. He was recently re-appointed and given a special award for l eadership by t he NICHD Director. Dr. Lister has a particular interest in academic development, and has directed an NIH funded training grant for 20 years and helped initiate the SPR Student Summer Research program to foster research careers in pediatrics. He has received recognition of these interests through such awards as the Yale Pediatric Faculty Teaching Award, the Blake Award for Most Outstanding Teacher at Yale Medical School, and a Fulbright Fellowship.

George Lister is currently Director of Pediatric Critical Care Medicine at Yale Medical School. He obtained his M.D. (cum laude) and pediatric residency at Yale, and research training at UCSF in the laboratory of Dr. Abraham Rudolph, where he began his interest in post-natal adaptat ion to hypoxia. He has received a New Investigator Research Award, an Established Investigator Award, and continuous NIH funding to support his research. He has published >100 research or clinical articl es, and recently collaborat ed with Dr. Gabriel Haddad to edit Tissue Oxygen Deprivat ion, From Molecul ar to Int egrated Function , a monograph summarizing current understanding of developmental differences in response to hypoxia.

The 1999 New Investigator Research Award was split between two applicants: Scot Bateman, MD and Neal Thomas, MD. Each investigator will receive $5000.

These awards will be presented during the section program at the AAP Annual Meeting on Sunday, October 10, 1999 from 1:30-2:00pm.

Dr. Bateman obtained his B.A. from Dartmouth College and his medical degree from Dartmouth Medical School in Hanover, New Hampshire. He completed a residency in pediatrics at Children's Hospital, Boston. He is currently a Clinical Fellow in Anesthesia at Harvard Medical School, Children's Hospital, Boston, completing his third year of pediatric critical care fellowship. His research interest since starting fellowship has been acute lung injury. He has investigated innovative uses of perfluorocarbon partial liquid ventilation combined with high frequency ventilation for the treatment of severe lung injury. More recently, he has been working on a translational research project in the lab of Claire Doerschuk, MD, Associate Professor of Physiology, Harvard School of Public Health, evaluating the roles neutrophil cellular mechanisms and neutrophil/platelet interactions have on their sequestration in the lungs of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome and acute chest syndrome. He received the Senior Resident Teaching Award by the Boston Combined Residency Program at Children's Hospital, Boston.

Dr. Thomas graduated from the University of Scranton with a B.S. in Biology and completed his medical school training at Temple University School of Medicine. After completing a residency in Pediatrics at the Medical University of South Carolina and practicing general pediatrics for one year in South Carolina, he finished a fellowship in Pediatric Critical Care Medicine at the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. While at Pittsburgh, he developed research interests in the physiologic effects of Type IV Phosphodiesterase Inhibition in whole animal models of sepsis and multiple organ failure. Since joining the faculty at the Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine as an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics in 1998, he has further pursued his interest in multiple organ failure and expanded the scope to cellular and organ inflammation by focusing on a family of proteins called collectins.

Joint Session with Home Health

The Epidemiology Section has become aware of individual members of other sections who have training or expertise in epidemiology, decision analysis, meta- analysis, cost-effective analysis that is potentially of great relevance to the Academy's efforts in guideline or policy development. We are often contacted by the Academy and others for help in locating members with expertise in evidence-based methods in a variety of areas. We would like to request your help in identifying interested individuals in your section who see their primary "home" in the Academy in your section, but might also be interested in serving as a resource in your section area.

Our interest is in expanding our database and access to these individuals, not taking them away from their primary home in your section. Our section does not charge a membership fee at this time. Please let me know if you have any suggestion for contacts. If you have a newsletter, we would appreciate your including this "call for experts". I would be happy to answer any questions.

The most effective way to reach me is via e- mail (rr28k@nih.gov). Interested individuals may contact Robert Sebring, PhD, AAP Section on Epidemiology staff person (847) 981-6784; e-mail (Rsebring@aap.org).

Thank you for your help and cooperation.
