RESPIRATORY RESEARCH TRAINING GRANT

该计划的目的是以多学科协作的方式培训内科科学家或博士后生物科学家，从事肺部和重症监护医学的临床相关研究，从而为他们的学术生涯做好准备，其特点是独立研究生产率和培训教师的专业知识，成功整合多学科和不同的研究方法，以及过去在培养院士方面的成功。研究培训有三个方面：呼吸细胞和分子生物学；呼吸生理学；以及临床调查。每条路线都有几位经验丰富的导师，为学员提供一系列的研究课题。每一条轨道都建议进行教学课程工作，通过让受训人员接触更广泛的方法和研究主题来丰富研究培训经验。临床研究人员课程包括在流行病学系或卫生服务部注册公共卫生硕士课程。该计划的特点是第一年(临床)学员的研究导师和项目选择过程，包括由高级培训人员为每个学员提供咨询，然后在秋季的一周内，学员被解除临床责任，与选定的潜在导师进行面谈，以促进导师和研究主题的最佳选择。指导委员会跟踪研究员朝着他们的研究、培训目标的进展，并提供反馈，包括职业咨询和学术工作安置。研究员在几个论坛上介绍他们的研究，包括在实验室会议上的非正式会议以及在更有结构的研究研究小组、全大学肺部研究会议(每年一至两次)以及区域和国家会议上。培训包括手稿和助学金方面的指导。该计划强调以道德和科学负责的方式进行研究。该方案还包括一项持续的努力，以吸引来自代表性不足的少数群体的个人进入肺部和重症护理医学领域以及这一具体方案。

The purpose of this program is to train physician-scientist or post- doctoral PhD biologic scientists in a multi-disciplinary collaborative approach to clinically relevant research in pulmonary and critical care medicine, and thus prepare them for academic careers characterized by independent research productivity and the expertise of its training faculty, its successful integration of multiple disciplines and diverse research methodologies and its success in the past in training academicians. Research training is available in three tracks: respiratory cell and molecular biology; respiratory physiology; and clinical investigation. Each track has several experienced mentors providing a range of research topics for the trainee. Each track has recommended didactic course work to enrich the research training experience by exposing the trainee to a broader range of methodology and research topics. The clinical investigator track includes enrollment in an MPH program in the Departments of either Epidemiology or Health Services. The program features a process of research mentor and project selection by the first year (clinical) trainees including counseling each trainee by senior training faculty followed by a week in the fall during which trainees are relieved of their clinical responsibilities to conduct interviews with selected potential mentors in order to enhance optimal choice of mentor and research topic. Mentoring committees track the fellows' progress toward their research training goals and provide feedback which includes career counseling and academic job placement. Fellows present their research in several forums including informally at laboratory meeting as well as in more structured research study groups, a University-wide pulmonary research conference (once to twice per year) and at regional and national meetings. The training includes instruction in manuscript and grants. The program stresses the conduct of research in an ethical and scientifically responsible manner. The program also includes an ongoing effort to attract individuals from under-represented minorities into the filed of pulmonary and critical care medicine as well as into this specific program.
