DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this T32 program, entitled Research in Alimentary Tract Surgery, is to enhance the professional development and research capabilities of new surgeon-scientists and postgraduate-level PhDs, with a specific interest in academic careers related to the study of digestive disease. This unique program will take advantage of three already-established research focus groups (RFGs) that straddle the Departments of Surgery, Molecular Genetics, Molecular and Cellular Physiology, Pathology and Developmental Biology at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine and the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. These RFGs cover the thematic core areas of Epithelial Pathobiology, GI Oncology, and Adaptation/Developmental Biology. Each RFG is led by an NIH-funded surgeon-scientist in the Department of Surgery as well as an independent NIH-funded basic investigator who share responsibility for creating the structured environment in which the intellectual rigor of laboratory investigation is enriched by the clinical perspective of surgical practice, thus providing both a broad and deep training experience that emphasizes translational potential and scholarly achievement. The training program centers on a supervised laboratory research project directed by a core or adjunct preceptor with oversight by the RFG co-directors. The research is supplemented by didactic coursework commensurate with the trainee's prior experience, and an organized program of seminars and research conferences that will enhance core knowledge base as well as skills in hypothesis formation, experimental design, grant preparation, and oral/written presentation of results. Extensive resources and core facilities are available for trainees, and special efforts are made to attract candidates from underrepresented minorities. Trainees receive instruction in the responsible conduct of research. At the completion of the program, surgeons-scientists will be strongly prepared for academic positions from which they will launch their investigative careers, while postdoctoral Ph.D. trainees should be competitive for entry-level independent funding.

描述(由申请人提供)： 这一T32计划的目标是提高新的外科科学家和研究生水平的博士的专业发展和研究能力，这些人对与消化系统疾病研究相关的学术生涯特别感兴趣。这一独特的计划将利用辛辛那提大学医学院和辛辛那提儿童医院医学中心外科、分子遗传学、分子和细胞生理学、病理学和发育生物学系中已经建立的三个研究重点小组(RFGs)。这些RFGs涵盖了上皮病理生物学、胃肠道肿瘤学和适应/发育生物学的主题核心领域。每个RFG由一名NIH资助的外科科学家和一名独立的NIH资助的基础调查员领导，他们共同负责创造一个结构化的环境，在这种环境中，外科实践的临床视角丰富了实验室调查的智力严谨性，从而提供了广泛而深入的培训经验，强调翻译潜力和学术成就。培训方案的中心是一个受监督的实验室研究项目，由核心或附属讲师指导，由RFG联席主任监督。研究的补充是与受训者先前经验相称的教学课程，以及一个组织的研讨会和研究会议计划，将加强核心知识基础以及假设形成、实验设计、拨款准备和结果口头/书面陈述方面的技能。为受训人员提供了广泛的资源和核心设施，并特别努力吸引代表人数不足的少数群体的候选人。受训者接受负责任的研究指导。在该项目完成后，外科医生-科学家将为他们将开始他们的研究生涯的学术职位做好充分的准备，而博士后培训人员应该在入门级独立资金方面具有竞争力。
