UAB Infectious Diseases Training Grant

描述（由申请人提供）：本T32传染病培训计划提案（P.I.，W.E. Dismukes）建立在伯明翰亚拉巴马大学医学院（UAB）成人和儿科传染病联合部基础和临床研究的基础上。此外，这两个司在培训医学博士、研究生和博士博士后方面的记录是强有力和持续的。我们的提案包括在六个完善的，资金充足和国家认可的研究项目中获得培训经验的机会，这些项目由资金充足，富有成效和高度可见的高级研究员/导师领导。这些项目和项目负责人是：病毒学-非艾滋病毒（布里特、惠特利-儿科ID）、真菌学（迪斯穆克-成人ID）、性传播疾病（胡克、施韦克-成人）、艾滋病毒/艾滋病（萨格、约翰逊-成人）、国际（佛蒙特、弗里德曼-成人）和疫苗（马利根、通行证-成人）。每个项目都以与当前公共需求直接相关的高优先领域的跨学科基础和/或临床研究为中心。此外，每个项目都非常成功地获得了核心联邦资金（主要是NIH和CDC），这些资金是通过政府发起的R 01和/或大型项目项目、合作协议和合同授予来响应联邦授权的RFA。我们的培训计划旨在为第一年的一名学员和第二年至第五年的两名学员提供资金（每年一名新学员，MD或MD/PhD）。在程序上，一个有效的跨学科研究经验将通过将所需的课程纳入由导师和学员制定的每个个人研究计划来实施。临床研究培训要求受训者参加NIH K30 UAB临床研究培训计划的课程。追求MPH也将是可用的。培训计划的整体表现和方向将由计划主任、联席主任和研究咨询委员会每半年审查一次。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This T32 training program proposal in Infectious Diseases (P.I., W.E. Dismukes) builds on the established strengths in basic and clinical research of the combined Adult and Pediatric Divisions of Infectious Diseases at the University of Alabama School of Medicine at Birmingham (UAB). Moreover, the track records of both Divisions in training MDs, graduate students and PhD post docs, are strong and sustained. Our proposal features opportunities for training experiences in six well established, well funded and nationally recognized research programs led by well funded, productive, and highly visible senior investigators/mentors. These programs and program leaders are: Virology- non-HIV (Britt, Whitley- Peds ID), Mycology (Dismukes -Adult ID), Sexually Transmitted Diseases (Hook, Schwebke- Adult), HIV/AIDS (Saag, Johnson- Adult), International (Vermund, Freedman - Adult), and Vaccines (Mulligan, Pass - Adult). Each of these programs centers on interdisciplinary fundamental and/or clinical research in high priority areas directly linked to current public needs. In addition, each program has been highly successful in obtaining core federal funding (primarily NIH and CDC) through investigator-initiated R01's and/or large program project, cooperative agreement and contract awards in response to federally mandated RFAs. Our training proposal seeks funding for one trainee in Year one and two trainees in Years two through five (one new trainee per Year, MD or MD/PhD). Programmatically, an effective interdisciplinary research experience will be implemented by incorporation of required coursework into each individual research plan formulated by the mentor and trainee. Trainees participation in the curriculum of the NIH K30 UAB Clinical Research Training Program will be required for those training in clinical research. Pursuit of an MPH will also be available. The overall performance and direction of the training program will be reviewed by the Program Director, Co-Directors and Research Advisory Committee on a semi-annual basis.
