DENTIST SCIENTIST AWARD--INSTITUTIONAL (K-16)

我们建议继续为牙医提供训练， 他们成为独立的临床研究者， 重视口腔健康。 培训计划将包括三个 组成部分：（1）基础科学的培训，最常见的是博士学位。 口腔生物学，但也可以采取其他形式，如博士学位。换句 （2）临床培训最常导致认证， 牙周病学、牙髓病学、固定或去除的临床特点 口腔修复或正畸。 第三部分是临床 调查中，候选人应用基础科学知识， 口腔健康的临床重要性问题。 基础科学阶段将导致完成博士学位，临床 部分最经常会导致认证，和临床 调查阶段将在与此有关的课程结束后完成。 临床研究中的阶段和研究是独立完成的 从基础科学或博士学位的相关研究中工作 整个 计划将在一位初级导师的密切监督下进行 他将成为候选人的博士主管。 此外，第二导师可以 参与协助监督临床研究的人员。 每个 候选人的进展将与学生咨询委员会监测， 整个项目将由学术咨询委员会指导， 来自基础科学和临床医学的代表 将培训候选人的部门。 也将有一个 外部审查委员会由来自以下国家的著名科学家/教育家组成： 在大学之外，谁将提供有关整个计划的建议。 该计划的继续支持是从国家研究所寻求的。 然而，由于牙科科学家奖， 支持将提供牙科学院的州立大学的 纽约布法罗完成培训，如果奖励没有更新 或者培训时间超过五年。 将开展培训 主要在布法罗牙科学院的纽约州立大学 医学，然而，导师从医学院，药学院 罗斯威尔公园癌症研究所也将参与培训 在适当的时候。 大部分临床培训将在 牙科学校和附属医院的牙科诊所。

We propose to continue to provide training for dentists which will enable them to become independent clinical investigators addressing problems of importance to oral health. The training program will consist of three components: (1) training in basic sciences, most often leading to a Ph.D. in Oral Biology but may also take other forms such as a Ph.D. in other departments, (2) clinical training most often leading to certification in the clinical specialties of periodontics, Endodontics, Fixed or Removal Prosthodontics or Orthodontics. The third component is clinical investigation in which the candidate applies basic science knowledge to a problem of clinical importance in oral health. The basic science phase will lead to completion of the Ph.D., the clinical portion most often will lead to certification, and the clinical investigation phase will be completed when the courses relevant to this phase and research in a clinical investigation is accomplished independent from research related to the basic science or Ph.D. work. The entire Program will be carried out under the close supervision of a primary mentor who will be the candidate's Ph.D. supervisor. Also, a secondary mentor may be involved who will aid in overseeing the clinical investigation. Each candidate's progress will be monitored with a Student Advisory Committee, and the overall Program will be directed by an Academic Advisory Board made up of representatives from each of the basic science and clinical departments who will be training the candidate. There will also be an External Review Board comprised of prominent scientist/educators from outside the University who will provide advice on the overall Program. Continuation support for the Program is sought from the National Institutes of Health by virtue of the Dentist Scientist Award, however, additional support will be provided by the Dental School of the State University of New York at Buffalo for completion of training if the award is not renewed or if training takes longer than five years. Training will be carried out primarily at the State University of New York at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine, however, mentors from the School of Medicine, School of Pharmacy and the Roswell Park Cancer Institute will also be involved in training where appropriate. Most of the clinical training will take place in the Dental Clinics of the Dental School and the affiliated hospitals.
