This application is a competitive renewal for a Training Grant in Developmental and Perinatal Endocrinology at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine and the Children's Hospital Medical Center in Cincinnati. Its purpose is to train M.D.s and Ph.D.s for careers as independent investigators in academic medicine. The program will provide funding for a total of sic postdoctoral fellows and three Ph.D. candidates within the University of Cincinnati Graduate Program. The Faculty Advisors consist of twenty established investigators with major interests in developmental and perinatal endocrinology from three clinical and three basic science departments. The research themes include the regulation of trophoblast differentiation and function in the regulation of decidualization, the role of growth factors in mammalian development, the molecular biology of the growth hormone, prolactin and placental lactogen gene family, and mechanisms of hormone action. The faculty share research interests and have a history of collaboration. Each has NIH funding for his/her research and has an established record as a mentor for graduate and/or postdoctoral students. The Program will include an administrative core consisting of the Program Director, an Executive Committee and External and Internal Advisory Boards. Also include are a seminar series, an annual review of the progress of candidates, and a yearly symposium designed for presentation of studies generated by the graduate and postdoctoral students within the program. Predoctoral trainees will obtain their Ph.D. degrees in the Department of Cell Biology, Neurobiology and Anatomy, the Department of Molecular and Cellular Physiology, the Department of Molecular Genetics, Biochemistry and Microbiology, and the Program in Developmental Biology of the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. Postdoctoral trainees must have the M.D. or Ph.D. degree, or both. Special attention will be given to recruitment of minorities and to M.D./Ph.D. candidates. The studies for each trainee will include a course focused on ethical issues in the conduct of science. Progress of each trainee will be reviewed annually by the Executive Committee. It is anticipated that the Training Program will continue to be successful in preparing trainees for research careers in an important area of academic medicine.

这项申请是辛辛那提大学医学院和辛辛那提儿童医院医学中心发育和围产期内分泌学培训补助金的竞争性续签。它的目的是为学术医学领域的独立研究人员培养医学博士和博士。该计划将为辛辛那提大学研究生计划内的总共SIC博士后研究员和三名博士后候选人提供资金。学院顾问由来自三个临床和三个基础科学系的20名对发育和围产期内分泌学有主要兴趣的资深研究人员组成。研究主题包括滋养层细胞分化的调节和蜕膜发育的调节功能，生长因子在哺乳动物发育中的作用，生长激素、催乳素和胎盘催乳素基因家族的分子生物学，以及激素的作用机制。这些教职员工都有共同的研究兴趣，并有合作的历史。每个人都有国立卫生研究院资助他/她的研究，并有作为研究生和/或博士后导师的既定记录。该方案将包括一个由方案主任、执行委员会以及外部和内部咨询委员会组成的行政核心。还包括一系列研讨会，对候选人进展的年度审查，以及每年一次的研讨会，旨在介绍研究生和博士后在该项目中产生的研究成果。博士前实习生将获得辛辛那提大学医学院细胞生物学、神经生物学和解剖学系、分子和细胞生理学系、分子遗传学、生物化学和微生物学系以及发育生物学专业的博士学位。博士后实习生必须拥有医学博士或博士学位，或两者兼有。将特别注意招募少数群体和医学博士/博士候选人。每个受训者的研究将包括一门侧重于科学行为中的伦理问题的课程。执行委员会将每年审查每名受训人员的进展情况。预计培训方案将继续成功地为受训人员在一个重要的学术医学领域的研究生涯做好准备。
