Pre and Post Doctoral Training: UMKC School of Dentistry

超出所提供的空间。本提案是对NIDCR PAR-00-116的回应，也是T32赠款DE 07294的竞争性续期申请。该计划将提供短期和长期的培训机会。在博士前阶段，将为最多三名希望攻读综合D.D.S./博士程序.还将为希望攻读跨学科博士学位的生物科学，化学，计算机科学，工程，药学，物理学和健康心理学等学科的学生提供培训。与口腔生物学合作。此外，我们为牙科学生成功进行的暑期研究奖学金计划将继续进行，并融入整体培训计划。在研究生阶段，8至10名牙医和/或医生将获得跨学科博士学位。口腔生物学作为协调学科。口腔生物学的三个主要研究领域将是骨分子生物学，牙科临床研究和牙科生物材料，包括生物力学和生物信息学。博士后水平的额外长期培训将包括来自计算机科学，工程，生物科学和健康心理学等学科的最多三名现任院士/研究人员的培训，他们希望接触生物医学研究，因此他们可以将他们的研究专业知识应用于牙科，口腔和颅面问题。短期博士后培训将包括目前初级和中级职业牙科教师在牙科临床研究和跨学科研究方面接受三个月或更少培训的机会。来自计算机科学或其他基础科学学科的一名或两名教师/研究人员将接受短期培训，将其研究专长应用于生物医学研究问题。在所有的培训机会中，将强调跨学科性，所有培训级别将相互作用，共同努力，以促进彼此的成长和教育。这个基础广泛，全面的研究培训计划将产生一组调查人员谁拥有一套不同的能力，谁可以有效地在跨学科的研究团队进行互动，以调查在牙科，颅面和口腔健康研究的许多扩展研究问题。性能现场=

EXCEEDTHE SPACEPROVIDED. This proposal is in response to PAR-00-116 from NIDCR and is a competing renewal application for T32 grant, DE07294. This program will provide short-term and long-term training opportunities. At the predoctoral level, support will be provided for up to three students who wish to pursue a combined D.D.S./Ph.D. program. Training will also be provided for students from disciplines such as biological sciences, chemistry, computer science, engineering, pharmacy, physics, and health psychology who wish to pursue an interdisciplinary Ph.D. in cooperation with Oral Biology. In addition, our successful ongoing summer research fellowship program for dental students will continue and be integrated into the overall training program. At the post-graduate level, between eight and ten dentists and/or physicians will obtain an interdisciplinary Ph.D. with Oral Biology as the coordinating discipline. The three primary research areas in Oral Biology will be bone molecular biology, dental clinical research, and dental biomaterials, including biomechanics and bioinformatics. Additional long-term training at the post-doctoral level will include the training of up to three current academicians/researchers from disciplines such as computer science, engineering, biological science, and health psychology who wish to gain exposure to biomedical research, so they can apply their research expertise to dental, oral, and craniofacial problems. Short-term post-doctoral training will include opportunities for current junior and mid-career dental faculty to be trained for three months or less in the conduct of dental clinical research and interdisciplinary research. One or two faculty/researchers from computer science, or other basic science disciplines will be trained on a short-term basis in the application of their research expertise to a biomedical research problem. In all of the training opportunities, inderdisciplinarity will be emphasized and all training levels will interact and work together in order to nurture each other's growth and education. This broad based, comprehensive research training program will produce a group of investigators who possess a set of diverse competencies and who can effectively interact in cross-disciplinary research teams to investigate the many expanding research problems in dental, craniofacial, and oral health research.
