Respiratory Research Training Grant

描述(由申请人提供)： 该计划的目的是培训内科科学家或博士后生物科学家，以多学科合作的方式进行肺部和重症监护医学的临床相关研究，从而为他们在这些学科中以独立研究生产力和成功培训其他人为特征的学术生涯做好准备。该项目的显著特点是其培训教师的质量和专业知识，它成功地整合了多个学科和不同的研究方法，并成功地培训了院士。研究培训有三个方面：呼吸细胞和分子生物学；综合呼吸生理学；以及临床调查(CI)。每个轨道都有一大批经验丰富的导师，为学员提供丰富的研究主题，一个研究学习小组作为中心重点，每周或每隔一周开会，并推荐教学课程工作，通过让学员接触更广泛的方法和研究主题来丰富研究培训经验。CI跟踪包括在流行病学系或卫生服务部注册公共卫生硕士或硕士课程。除了这三个赛道外，还有一个翻译研究培训项目。希望成为翻译调查员的学员在一个主要培训轨道上接受有限的替代学科交叉培训。他们参加了两个轨道的研究性学习小组和一个扩大的指导计划。 该计划的特点是第一年(临床实习生)的研究导师和项目选择过程，包括由高级培训教师为每个实习生提供咨询，然后在秋季的一周内，实习生被解除临床责任，与选定的潜在导师进行面谈。指导委员会跟踪研究员在研究培训山羊方面的进展，并在学术工作安排方面提供职业咨询和帮助。研究员在几个论坛上介绍他们的研究，包括在实验室会议上的非正式会议，以及在更有结构的研究学习小组、全大学肺部研究会议以及区域和国家会议上。培训包括手稿和赠款编写方面的指导，以及海报和幻灯片研究演示文稿以及手稿和赠款的审查过程。 该计划强调以道德和科学负责的方式进行研究，并一直致力于吸引代表人数不足的少数群体的个人。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this program is to train physician-scientist or post-doctoral PhD biologic scientists in a multidisciplinary collaborative approach to clinically relevant research in pulmonary and critical care medicine, and thus to prepare them for academic careers characterized by independent research productivity and the successful training of others in these disciplines. The program's distinguishing characteristics are the quality and expertise of its training faculty, its successful integration of multiple disciplines and diverse research methodologies, and its success in training academicians. Research training is available in three tracks: respiratory cell and molecular biology; integrative respiratory physiology; and clinical investigation (CI). Each track has a critical mass of experienced mentors providing a rich range of research topics for the trainee, a research study group as a central focus which meets weekly or every other week, and recommended didactic course work to enrich the research training experience by exposing the trainee to a broader range of methodology and research topics. The CI track includes enrollment in an MPH or MS program in the Departments of either Epidemiology or Health Services. In addition to the three tracks, there is a translational research training program. Trainees enrolled in one of the primary training tracks who desire to become translational investigators receive limited cross-training in an alternate discipline. They participate in the research study groups of both tracks and in an expanded mentoring program. The program features a process of research mentor and project selection by the first year (clinical trainees) including counseling each trainee by senior training faculty followed by a week in the fall during which trainees are relieved of their clinical responsibilities to conduct interviews with selected potential mentors. Mentoring committees track the fellows' progress toward their research training goats and provide career counseling and help in academic job placement. Fellows present their research in several forums including informally at laboratory meetings as well as in more structured research study groups, a University-wide pulmonary research conference and at regional and national meetings. The training includes instruction in manuscript and grant writing and a review process for poster and slide research presentations as well as for manuscripts and grants. The program stresses the conduct of research in an ethical and scientifically responsible manner and has an on-going commitment to attract individuals from under-represented minorities.
