Institutional Research Training Grant

描述（由申请人提供）： 这是一个修改后的应用程序，以响应NIDCR国家研究服务奖机构研究培训补助金公告（PAR-00-l16）。 该研究培训计划的重点是颅面口腔生物学领域，并命名为“颅面口腔生物学学生学术研究培训（COSTAR）”。它是根据1999年NDCR研究培训和职业发展蓝带小组的建议制定的。该补助金将为24名特别积极的受训人员（8个培训职位，加上2个DSTP职位）提供更广泛的跨学科研究经验，这些受训人员包括博士前牙科，牙科科学家，研究生，博士后学生和研究密集型学术健康科学中心环境中的教职员工。该计划将强调两个研究主题颅面仿生学和颅面疼痛和对损伤的反应。该计划将提供五个补充培训轨道：1）短期暑期研究经验的牙科学生; 2）DDS/博士。3）博士前博士学位;项目; 4）博士后奖学金;和5）教师发展培训。COSTAR计划的目的是培养一批高技能，互动的科学家，他们可以成功地解决牙科，口腔和颅面研究中不断扩大的机会。COSTAR的一个关键因素是为学员提供积极，富有成效，成功的教师榜样;许多与DDS/MS。& DDS/博士通过NIDCR支持的培训计划获得学位。该计划的具体目标是：1）识别和选择合格的，积极的候选人谁有兴趣和潜力，追求在牙科，颅面，口腔研究的培训机会，以解决在这些领域出现的科学机会，在21世纪世纪; 2）提供一个机制，使学员融入UTHSCSA的协作，研究密集型临床和基础科学研究环境; 3）培养学员在牙科，口腔和颅面健康广泛，综合的研究培训，从而提高他们的能力和研究技能; 4）通过不同的切入点和持续学习的机会，为跨学科的互动提供灵活性;和5）评估短期和长期的影响该计划对学员，机构和我们国家的牙科院士的需要。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a revised application in response to the NIDCR National Research Service Award Institutional Research Training Grant Public Announcement (PAR-00-l16). This research training program is focused on the area of Craniofacial Oral-Biology and is named "Craniofacial Oral-Biology Student Training in Academic Research (COSTAR)". It is based on the suggestions of the 1999 NDCR Blue Ribbon Panel on Research Training and Career Development. The grant will provide a broadened interdisciplinary research experience for 24 exceptionally motivated trainees (8 training positions, plus 2 DSTP position) consisting of predoctoral dental, dental scientist, graduate, postdoctoral students, and faculty members in a research-intensive academic Health Science Center environment. The program will emphasize two research themes Craniofacial Biomimetics and Craniofacial Pain and Response to Injury. The program will offer five complementary training tracks: 1) short-term summer research experience for dental students; 2) a DDS/Ph.D. program; 3) a predoctoral Ph.D. program; 4) Postdoctoral fellowships; and 5) faculty development training. The purpose of the COSTAR program is to train a cadre of highly skilled, interactive scientists who can successfully address the expanding opportunities in dental, oral, and craniofacial research. A key element of COSTAR is providing trainees with positive, productive, successful faculty role models; many with DDS/M.S. & DDS/Ph.D. degrees obtained through NIDCR supported training programs. The specific aims of this program are: 1) to identify and select qualified, motivated candidates who have the interest and potential to pursue training opportunities in dental, craniofacial, oral research to address the scientific opportunities emerging in these fields in the 21st century; 2) to provide a mechanism for integrating trainees into UTHSCSA's collaborative, research-intensive clinical and basic science research environment; 3) to develop trainees with broad, integrated research training in dental, oral and craniofacial health, thereby enhancing their competencies and research skills; 4) to provide flexibility for cross-disciplinary interaction through diverse entry points and opportunities for sustained learning; and 5) to assess the short and long-term impact of the program on the trainee, the institution, and our nation's need for dental academicians.
