This application requests continuation of an international post-doctoral research training program in advanced techniques in reproductive biology. The training focuses on Latin America through a network of institutions in Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Mexico which have established that compliment the investigative strengths of the University of Pennsylvania. The goals of the program are: 1) to provide outstanding Latin American scholars holding the Ph.D., M.D., V.M.D. or equivalent degrees with advanced training under the guidance of an experienced mentor and in doing so augment the research capacity of Latin American research centers, and 2) to enhance on-going NIH-sponsored research through collaboration with Latin American colleagues. Training activities will be under the auspice of the Center for Research on Reproduction and women's Health, a multi-disciplinary research enterprise with a faculty drawn from multiple academic units. Four research themes are emphasized: molecular endocrinology; gametogenesis and fertilization; early embryo development and implantation; and translational research in contraception and microbicide development. An academic enrichment program including seminars, journal clubs and optional advanced coursework is offered. Scholars are selected on the basis of e3xcellence in their prior training/research experience, a commitment to a career in research and the commitment of the applicant's home institution to support his/her investigative career upon completion of training. Training opportunities are available for junior scholars as well as more established investigators. Scholars select faculty advisor in their area of interest. A coherent research plan is developed that meets the scholar's goals and those of his/her home institution. The faculty evaluates activities of trainees at six month intervals: growth in the areas of independence, in experimental design and data interpretation, mastery of new technical skills, productivity, clarity of oral presentations and scientific writing are considered in assessing trainee progress. At the end of the experience, scholars should be well prepared to pursue high quality research on a relevant topic in the reproductive sciences at their homer institutions. The re-entry of foreign scholars is facilitated by a small grant award. Senior foreign scholars are encouraged to collaborate with their Penn colleagues through Fogarty International Collaborative Research Awards.

本申请要求继续进行生殖生物学高级技术的国际博士后研究培训计划。培训的重点是拉丁美洲，通过阿根廷、巴西、智利和墨西哥建立的一个机构网络，这些机构与宾夕法尼亚大学的研究优势相辅相成。该计划的目标是：1)在经验丰富的导师的指导下，为拥有博士、医学博士、医学博士或同等学位的杰出拉美学者提供高级培训，从而增强拉美研究中心的研究能力；2)通过与拉美同事的合作，加强正在进行的美国国立卫生研究院赞助的研究。培训活动将在生殖和妇女健康研究中心的支持下进行，该中心是一个多学科研究企业，其教员来自多个学术单位。强调四个研究主题：分子内分泌学；配子发生与受精；早期胚胎发育与着床；以及避孕和杀菌剂开发方面的转化研究。提供学术丰富课程，包括研讨会，期刊俱乐部和可选的高级课程。学者的选择是基于他们之前的培训/研究经验，对研究事业的承诺以及申请人所在机构在完成培训后支持他/她的研究事业的承诺。培训机会提供给初级学者以及更成熟的研究者。学者在他们感兴趣的领域选择教师顾问。制定一个连贯的研究计划，以满足学者的目标和他/她所在机构的目标。教师每隔六个月对学员的活动进行评估：在评估学员的进步时，要考虑在独立、实验设计和数据解释方面的增长、对新技术技能的掌握、生产力、口头陈述的清晰度和科学写作方面的增长。在经历结束时，学者们应该做好充分的准备，在其所在机构就生殖科学的相关主题进行高质量的研究。外国学者的再入学是由小额奖学金资助的。通过福格蒂国际合作研究奖，鼓励外国资深学者与宾大同事合作。
