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）： 这个名为“消化道外科研究”的 T32 项目的目标是提高新外科医生科学家和研究生水平博士的专业发展和研究能力，特别关注与消化系统疾病研究相关的学术职业。这一独特的项目将利用辛辛那提大学医学院和辛辛那提儿童医院医疗中心的外科、分子遗传学、分子和细胞生理学、病理学和发育生物学等部门的三个已经建立的研究焦点小组 (RFG)。这些 RFG 涵盖上皮病理学、胃肠道肿瘤学和适应/发育生物学的主题核心领域。每个 RFG 均由 NIH 资助的外科系外科医生科学家以及 NIH 资助的独立基础研究员领导，他们共同负责创造结构化环境，在该环境中，外科实践的临床视角丰富了实验室研究的智力严谨性，从而提供了广泛而深入的培训经验，强调转化潜力和学术成就。培训计划以受监督的实验室研究项目为中心，由核心或兼职导师指导，并由 RFG 联合主任监督。该研究还辅以与受训者先前经验相称的教学课程，以及有组织的研讨会和研究会议计划，这些计划将增强核心知识基础以及假设形成、实验设计、拨款准备和口头/书面结果展示的技能。为学员提供广泛的资源和核心设施，并特别努力吸引来自代表性不足的少数族裔的候选人。受训者接受负责任地进行研究的指导。该计划完成后，外科医生科学家将为学术职位做好充分准备，从这些职位开始他们的研究生涯，而博士后博士。受训者应该在入门级独立资助方面具有竞争力。
