DESCRIPTION OF TRAINING PROGRAM: Forsyth Institute proposes to offer a Postdoctoral Training Program in Oral and Craniofacial Research to health professionals and PhDs who are interested in further training in basic, clinical or patient-oriented oral health research. It also proposes to offer retraining in these areas to mid-career scientists. Specific training opportunities are available in Biofilms, Biomineralization and Biomimetics; Molecular Immunology and lnfectious Disease; Genomics and Oral Cancer; and Clinical Investigations. Linkage of projects between focus areas, especially between clinical investigations and other focus areas, will be encouraged. Mentors have outstanding records of published research consistent with the NIDCR mission, are well supported by NIH, and have appreciable experience in postdoctoral education. Collaborative, multidisciplinary and inter-professional interactions in academia and the biotechnology industry are characteristic of mentors' research. These multidisciplinary/collaborative research efforts of mentors serve as a base upon which the trainee can initiate similar collaborative research interactions. Mentored research is the cornerstone of the postdoctoral training experience. Enhancements to that experience will include a course in clinical research design, oral health targeted courses in immunology and infectious disease, and a course in ethical practices in scientific investigation. The program will also feature tutorials in research use of the Web, Bioinformatics, Genomics, and Grantsmanship, participation in the Forsyth/Harvard Seminar Series, Oral Biology colloquia, and departmental journal clubs, seminar/tutorials in career opportunities, and a postdoctoral research group (PRG). The PRG will be responsible for organizing an institutionally funded series of Postdoctoral Research Days in which international experts will be invited to speak formally and informally to the PRG. Leadership awareness and training will be facilitated by postdoctoral trainee mentoring of Boston high school, and dental and/or Forsyth dental hygiene students in summer research projects. A variety of strategies will be used to recruit trainees, including candidates from under-represented racial/ethnic groups who will be specifically encouraged. The goal is to provide training experiences that will prepare trainees to be principal investigators who can 1) successfully compete for research funds; 2) effectively communicate their ideas; 3) recognize the value of collaborative research interactions; 4) lead and inspire others to accomplish mutual research objectives; 5) translate their findings to practice; 6) become skilled in bioinformatic approaches; 7) make ethically correct decisions; and 8) be sensitive and harmonious in relationships with their peers.

培训计划的描述：福赛斯研究所建议为对进一步的基础，面向临床或患者的口腔健康研究感兴趣的卫生专业人员和博士提供口腔和颅面研究的博士后培训计划。它还建议将这些领域的培训提供给中期科学家。生物膜，生物矿化和生物仪提供了具体的培训机会；分子免疫学和LNFectious疾病；基因组学和口腔癌；和临床研究。将鼓励重点领域之间的项目联系，尤其是临床调查与其他焦点区域之间的联系。导师拥有与NIDCR任务一致的已发表研究的出色记录，得到了NIH的良好支持，并且在博士后教育方面具有可观的经验。学术界和生物技术行业的合作，多学科和专业互动是导师研究的特征。这些跨学科/协作研究工作的指导者是学员可以启动类似的协作研究互动的基础。指导研究是博士后培训经验的基石。对该经验的增强将包括临床研究设计，口腔健康针对性的免疫学和传染病的课程，以及科学研究的道德实践课程。该计划还将在网络，生物信息学，基因组学和赠款的研究使用方面，参与福赛斯/哈佛大学研讨会系列，口腔生物学座谈会以及部门期刊俱乐部，职业机会中的研讨会/教程，以及一个学科研究小组（PRG）。 PRG将负责组织一系列由机构资助的博士后研究日，其中将邀请国际专家正式和非正式地与PRG交谈。在夏季研究项目中，波士顿高中的博士顿高中和牙科牙科卫生专业的学生的指导后，将促进领导意识和培训。各种策略将用于招募受训者，包括来自代表性不足的种族/族裔群体的候选人，他们将受到特别的鼓励。目的是提供培训经验，使学员成为主要调查员，他们可以1）成功竞争研究资金； 2）有效地传达他们的想法； 3）认识到协作研究互动的价值； 4）领导并激励他人实现共同的研究目标； 5）将他们的发现转化为实践； 6）熟练采用生物信息学方法； 7）在道德上做出正确的决定； 8）在与同龄人的关系中保持敏感和和谐。
