Harvard-SDM/Forsyth Scholar/Faculty Development Program

描述：（由申请人提供）哈佛-SDM/福赛斯学者/教师 发展计划（HFSFDP）是一个培训和职业发展计划， 在一个由四个学术机构（哈佛学院）组成的区域联盟上， 牙科医学[HSDM]，福赛斯研究所[FI]，匹兹堡大学学院 牙科医学[UPSDM]和塔夫茨大学牙科医学院 [TUSDM]）创建指导临床科学家发展途径， 高技能的临床科学家（DDS/DMD，MD和PhD），他们可以成功地 解决口腔、牙科和颅面研究中日益增加的机会 从跨学科和多学科的角度。 HFSFDP旨在提供严格的指导科学培训机会 （第一阶段）在哈佛大学和福赛斯研究所的四个领域， 与NIDCR的使命高度相关的研究：癌症，发展， 传染病和组织工程。在所有四个特别强调 研究领域是基因组学和生物信息学， 和临床研究。这将是随后的教师过渡步骤 （第二阶段），学者将过渡到一个初级教师终身跟踪 在四个联盟机构之一的位置。机制到位 这将鼓励和指导学者过渡到初级教师线 在UPSDM或TUSDM。本培训和职业发展的实施 该计划将通过历史，文化和成功的跟踪记录来增强 研究职业发展计划和科学家在HSDM的过渡 和FI。这种培育学术环境目前增加了四个 NIDCR支持T32机构培训方案，一名牙医-科学家 奖励计划，两个计划项目和一个口腔健康中心赠款 research.这些联合活动构成了一个一体化程度很高的区域联合体 结构，将提供全面的，跨/多学科的研究 职业发展途径。 HFSFDP将提供必要的机会， 在口腔健康研究中的科学卓越技能。此外该 课程结构和环境将鼓励终身学习，成功 研究职业转型和强大的合作伙伴关系技能。

DESCRIPTION: (provided by applicant) The Harvard-SDM/Forsyth Scholar/Faculty Development Program (HFSFDP) is a training and career development program based on a regional consortium of four academic institutions (Harvard School of Dental Medicine [HSDM], Forsyth Institute [FI], University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine [UPSDM] and Tufts University School of Dental Medicine [TUSDM]) to create a mentored clinical scientist development pathway to develop highly skilled clinician scientists (DDS/DMD, MD and PhD) who can successfully address the increasing opportunities in oral, dental and craniofacial research from cross-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary perspectives. The HFSFDP aims to provide rigorous mentored scientific training opportunities (Phase I) at Harvard University and the Forsyth Institute in four areas of research highly relevant to the mission of the NIDCR: cancer, development, infectious diseases and tissue engineering. A particular emphasis in all four areas is genomics and bioinformatics and the need to bridge both basic sciences and clinical research. This will be followed by a faculty transition step (Phase II) whereby the scholar will transit to a junior faculty tenured-tracked position at one of the four consortium institutions. Mechanisms are in place that will encourage and direct the scholar transition to junior faculty lines at UPSDM or TUSDM. The implementation of this training and career development program will be enhanced by the history, culture and track record of successful research career development programs and transition of scientists at the HSDM and FI. This nurturing academic environment is currently augmented by four NIDCR supported T32 institutional training programs, one Dentist-Scientist Award program, two program projects and one center grant in oral health research. These joint activities present a well-integrated regional consortium structure that will provide comprehensive, cross/multi-disciplinary research career development pathways. The HFSFDP will provide the needed opportunities to develop the necessary skills for scientific excellence in oral health research. In addition, the program structure and environment will encourage life-long learning, successful research career transitions and strong collaborative partnering skills.
