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先进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、智利和墨西哥的机构网络，这些机构已经建立了一个补充宾夕法尼亚大学调查优势的网络。该计划的目标是：1）提供优秀的拉丁美洲学者持有博士学位，医学博士，V.M.D.在经验丰富的导师的指导下，通过高级培训获得同等学位，并在这样做的过程中增强了拉丁美洲研究中心的研究能力，2）通过与拉丁美洲同事的合作，加强正在进行的NIH赞助的研究。培训活动将在生殖和妇女健康研究中心的主持下进行，该中心是一个多学科研究机构，其教员来自多个学术单位。四个研究主题强调：分子内分泌学;配子发生和受精;早期胚胎发育和植入;和避孕和杀微生物剂开发的转化研究。提供学术充实计划，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以前的培训/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/她的调查事业的承诺。初级学者和资历较深的调查员都有培训机会。学者选择他们感兴趣的领域的指导教师。制定一个连贯的研究计划，以满足学者的目标和他/她的家乡机构。教师评估学员的活动在六个月的时间间隔：在独立领域的增长，在实验设计和数据解释，掌握新的技术技能，生产力，口头陈述和科学写作的清晰度被认为是在评估学员的进步。在经验结束时，学者应该做好充分准备，在他们的家乡机构在生殖科学的相关主题上进行高质量的研究。外国学者的重新入境是由一个小的赠款奖励。高级外国学者被鼓励通过福格蒂国际合作研究奖与他们的宾大同事合作。
