项目摘要

Project Summary/Abstract This T32 application seeks support for a Graduate Research in Immunology Program (GRIP) at the University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio (UT Health SA). GRIP will train three PhD, DDS/PhD and MD/PhD students per year for successful careers in academia, industry or government. It integrates the research activities of the UT Long School of Medicine basic science and clinical departments/centers, which includes the NCI- Designated UT Health MD Anderson Cancer Center SA, the NIH/CTSA-supported UT Health Institute for Integration of Medicine and Science (UT IIMS), as well as the local affiliate Texas Biomedical Research Institute and UT System sister institution University of Texas San Antonio (UTSA). With a strong biomedical research presence, an emerging biotech industry and the greatest countrywide concentration of military biomedical activities, San Antonio, natural capital of South Texas, completes, with Dallas and Houston, the Texas biomedical triangle. The home to GRIP will be the UT Long School of Medicine Dept. of Microbiology, Immunology & Molecular Genetics (MIMG), an academic, scientific and administrative structure promoting, fostering and integrating research and training in molecular and cell mechanisms of innate and adaptive immunity, B and T cell biology, antibody gene expression and epigenetics, immunology of aging, autoimmunity, microbial pathogenesis and cancer immunology. GRIP will be led by the new MIMG chairman, Dr. Paolo Casali, a renowned immunologist, accomplished graduate educator and former director of NIH graduate training programs in immunology. GRIP counts on the contribution of 32 preceptors, many of them leaders in their fields, 5 support faculty and 6 faculty career advisors from MIMG and other departments. It will benefit from an External Advisory Board of well-known immunologists. GRIP trainees will be selected from a diverse and outstanding pool of students within an existing Immunology-focused Ph.D. program. The unique UT Health SA environment provides a natural incubator for translational research training. Thus, GRIP provides enriched training opportunities through a Translational Sciences Certificate Program, and provides an Individualized Development Plan for each trainee, strong Responsible Conduct of Research mentoring, a thorough Progress Evaluation Plan and access to a robust Office of Career Development. UT Health SA, a Department of Education-Designated Hispanic- Serving Institution, has developed aggressive outreach programs to attract underrepresented minority students (URMs). URM Trainees have been critical to UT Health SA success and will be an integral part of GRIP. UT Health SA institutional commitment for GRIP is strong, providing 10% salary support to the Program Director, matching support for an additional 4th training slot, and significant stipend supplemental support for each trainee. Thus, by leveraging existing local strengths, GRIP will provide individualized and multidisciplinary training for graduate students to become leaders in diverse and evolving biomedical fields.

项目摘要/摘要该T32应用程序寻求支持大学免疫学计划（GRIP）的支持得克萨斯州健康科学中心圣安东尼奥（UT Health SA） Grip将训练三个博士学位，DDS/PHD和MD/PHD 学生每年从事学术界，工业或政府成功职业的学生。它整合了研究活动 UT长期医学学院基础科学和临床部门/中心，其中包括NCI- NIH/CTSA支持的UT健康研究所医学与科学的整合（IIMS）以及当地的分支机构得克萨斯生物医学研究所以及德克萨斯州圣安东尼奥大学（UTSA）的UT系统姊妹机构。有强大的生物医学研究存在，新兴的生物技术行业，以及全国最大的军事生物医学集中南德克萨斯州自然首都圣安东尼奥的活动，达拉斯和德克萨斯州生物医学的休斯顿三角形。抓地的家将是UT长期医学院微生物学，免疫学和分子遗传学（MIMG），一种学术，科学和行政结构，促进，促进和在先天和适应性免疫组织化学的分子和细胞机制中整合研究和培训，B和T 细胞生物学，抗体基因表达和表观遗传学，衰老的免疫学，自身免疫性，微生物发病机理和癌症免疫学。 Grip将由新的MIMG主席Paolo Casali博士领导著名的免疫学家，完成的研究生Eucator和NIH研究生培训计划的前主任在免疫学上。抓地力计算32个受体的贡献，许多领域的领导者，5个支持来自MIMG和其他部门的教师和6名教师职业顾问。它将从外部咨询中受益知名免疫学家委员会。将从潜水员和杰出的库中选出抓地力学员现有以免疫学博士为中心的学生程序。独特的UT Health SA环境提供商自然孵化器，用于翻译研究培训。那，Grip提供了丰富的培训机会通过翻译科学证书计划，并为每个计划提供个性化的开发计划学员，负责任的研究指导，彻底的进度评估计划和访问到职业发展的强大办公室。 UT Health SA，教育部指定的西班牙裔 - 服务机构已经开发了积极的外展计划，以吸引代表性不足的少数民族学生（URMS）。 URM培训人员对UT Health SA的成功至关重要，并且将是Grip不可或缺的一部分。 UT 卫生SA机构对抓地力的承诺很强，为计划主任提供10％的薪水支持，匹配对额外的第四个训练插槽的支持，并为每个学员提供明显的压力端补充支持。通过利用现有的当地优势，Grip将为个性化和多学科培训提供研究生成为潜水员和不断发展的生物医学领域的领导者。
