INSTITUTIONAL DENTIST SCIENTIST TRAINING PROGRAM

这是一个机构牙科科学家培训计划的建议 （DSTP）。 目前，我们有两名学生参加了一个合并的DMD博士。 方案：方案的第一年和第二年各一个。这些 学生由牙科医学院提供支持。这项建议 为这些学生和其他被点名的人寻求资金。该组合 学位课程补充了我们的其他研究生培训计划： 牙科科学硕士和牙医科学家奖（DSA）计划， 博士后居民。我们的培训历史证明， 这个提议的方案。我们总共毕业了八个临床 由DSA机构奖资助的学者。此外，四个临床 学者们接受了关于个人每日生活津贴/方案支助津贴的培训。四个临床 由其他机制资助的学者也已毕业。其他十 毕业生，通过其他来源资助，带来了我们的培训历史， 博士一级的共有二十六人。 我们所有的临床 学者们已经完成了他们的证书和博士，D，计划， 进入生产性职业;没有人因为离开而违约， 或者通过私人执业。临床学者， 有能力获得独立资金的人这样做了; 89%得到了资金。 我们的方案，无论是临床和研究生，适应他们的方案， 确保项目顺利进行。因为多样性 口腔疾病的复杂性，培训的重点是基本的生物 与口腔健康和疾病有关的问题，而不是一个 单一学科为中心的方案。健康中心和学校 牙科医学提供了一个动态的临床计划和多种组合 提供激励培训环境的研究机会， 本提案的目标与所有 我们的培训计划。也就是说，我们建议提供一个计划， 培养出高素质的临床学者， 独立的科学家能够发起并维持资助 研究项目。此外，我们将继续提供方案， 为每个候选人量身定制，同时保持在口头重点 通过研讨会、课程、临床研究中心 和合作研究活动。DSTP是基于一个非常 在医学院成功的联合学位课程。我们 我们的培训记录和毕业生的成就反映了 我们的培训计划的有效性，并支持这一新的建议。

This is a proposal for an Institutional Dental Scientist Training Program (DSTP). Currently, we have two students enrolled in a combined DMD-Ph.D program: one each in the first and second years of the program. These students are supported by the School of Dental Medicine. This proposal seeks funding for these students and others to be named. This combined degree program complements our other graduate training programs: the Master of Dental Science and Dentist Scientist Award (DSA) programs for postdoctoral residents. Our training history supports the viability of this proposed program. We have graduated a total of eight clinical scholars funded by an institutional DSA award. In addition, four clinical scholars were trained on individual DSA/PSA awards. Four clinical scholars funded by other mechanisms have also graduated. Ten other graduates, funded through other sources, brings our training history at the doctoral level to a total of twenty-six. All of our clinical scholars have completed their certificate and Ph,D, programs and have entered productive careers; no one has defaulted either by leaving the program or by entering private practice. The clinical scholars who are positioned to obtain independent funding have done so; 89% are funded. Our programs, both clinical and graduate, accommodate their programs to ensure successful progress through the program. Because of the diversity and complexity of oral disease, training is focused on basic biological problems related to the oral cavity in health and disease rather than a single discipline-centered program. The Health Center and the School of Dental Medicine offer a dynamic mix of clinical programs and manifold research opportunities that provide a stimulating training environment, The objectives of this proposal are consistent with the goals of all of our training programs. That is, we propose to offer a program that produces highly qualified clinical scholars competent as clinicians and independent as scientists who are able to initiate and maintain funded research programs. In addition, we will continue to provide programs that are tailored to each candidate, while maintaining a focus in the oral biological sciences through seminars, courses, clinical research centers and collaborative research activities. The DSTP is modeled on a very successful combined degree program in the School of Medicine. Our training record and the achievements of our graduates reflect the effectiveness of our training programs and support this new proposal.
