DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is a request for continuing support of a research-based training program in Endocrinology and Metabolism at Oregon Health & Science University. The main goal of this program, now in its 10th year, is to prepare qualified trainees for successful scientific careers as independent investigators by providing intensive training in hypothesis-driven, basic and disease-oriented research in a stimulating ant collegial environment. Potential candidates will hold an MD, MD/PhD, or PhD degree. In most cases (i.e. MD and MD/PhD candidates), research training will be preceded by one year of concentrated training in clinical endocrinology and metabolism, and by formal activities designed to teach the scientific basis of endocrinology. The initial clinical year of training will be funded through institutional resources. The subsequent two years will be devoted to first hand experience and training in hypothesis-driven endocrine research under the supervision of an established investigator and will be funded by this grant. Research activities will be supplemented by weekly journal clubs, research-in-progress meetings, endocrine grand rounds, and endocrine clinical case conferences, and by formal graduate level course work tailored to the individual scientific needs of each trainee. The special strengths of this program include: 1) The diverse skills and interests of the faculty with broad strength in the areas of growth factors, thyroid, pituitary, adrenal, signal transduction, molecular genetics, diabetes, obesity, bone and mineral metabolism, lipid disorders, and reproductive endocrinology. 2) The substantial laboratory resources of the faculty and availability of a General Clinical Research Center, which facilitates training in state-of-the-art clinical investigation. 3) The outstanding environment for research in both clinical as well as cellular and molecular endocrinology and related areas at OHSU and its affiliated institutions (Vollum Institute and Oregon National Primate Research Center). A major premise of the training program is that the need for skilled physician-investigators will only continue to increase over the coming decades. This program seeks to train independent academic endocrinologists who will function as independent laboratory scientists capable of developing research programs that address endocrine disorders in the future.

描述（由申请人提供）： 本提案是对俄勒冈州健康与科学大学内分泌学和代谢学研究型培训项目的持续支持请求。该计划的主要目标，现在在其第10个年头，是准备合格的学员成功的科学事业作为独立的调查人员，通过提供强化培训假设驱动，基础和疾病为导向的研究在一个刺激蚂蚁学院的环境。潜在的候选人将持有MD，MD/PhD或PhD学位。在大多数情况下（即MD和MD/PhD候选人），研究培训之前将进行一年的临床内分泌学和代谢集中培训，以及旨在教授内分泌学科学基础的正式活动。第一个临床年的培训将通过机构资源提供资金。随后的两年将致力于第一手经验和培训的假设驱动的内分泌研究的监督下建立的调查员，并将由该补助金。研究活动将通过每周的期刊俱乐部，研究进展会议，内分泌大轮和内分泌临床病例会议，以及根据每位学员的个人科学需求量身定制的正式研究生水平课程工作来补充。该计划的特殊优势包括：1）在生长因子，甲状腺，垂体，肾上腺，信号转导，分子遗传学，糖尿病，肥胖，骨和矿物质代谢，脂质紊乱和生殖内分泌学领域具有广泛实力的教师的多样化技能和兴趣。2)教师的大量实验室资源和一般临床研究中心的可用性，这有利于在国家的最先进的临床研究的培训。3)OHSU及其附属机构（Vollum Institute和俄勒冈州国家灵长类动物研究中心）在临床以及细胞和分子内分泌学和相关领域的研究环境出色。培训计划的一个主要前提是，在未来几十年内，对熟练的医生调查人员的需求只会继续增加。该计划旨在培养独立的学术内分泌学家，他们将作为独立的实验室科学家，能够在未来开发解决内分泌疾病的研究计划。
