DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This amended (A2) application is for a competitive renewal of a Training Grant in Developmental and Perinatal Endocrinology at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine and Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center that was originally funded in 1993. Its purpose is to train M.D.s and Ph.D.s for careers as independent investigators in academic medicine. The program will provide funding for a total of three postdoctoral fellows and three Ph.D. candidates within the University of Cincinnati Graduate Program. The faculty advisors consist of twenty-four established investigators with major interests in developmental and perinatal endocrinology from three clinical and six basic science departments and the College of Pharmacy. The research themes include the regulation of trophoblast differentiation and decidualization, the role of growth factors in mammalian development, the molecular biology of the growth hormone, prolactin and placental lactogen gene family during development, and mechanisms of hormone action. The faculty share research interests and have a history of collaboration. Each has NIH funding for his/her research and has an established record as a mentor for graduate and postdoctoral students. The Program will include an administrative core consisting of the Program Director, an Executive Committee and External and Internal Advisory Boards. Predoctoral trainees will obtain their Ph.D. degrees in the Department of Cell Biology, Neurobiology and Anatomy, the Department of Molecular and Cellular Physiology, the Department of Molecular Genetics, Biochemistry and Microbiology, the Departments of Environmental Health Sciences, Pathology and Pharmacy and the Interdisciplinary Programs in Molecular and Developmental Biology and Neurosciences of the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. Postdoctoral trainees must have the M.D. or Ph.D. degree, or both. Special attention will be given to the training of minorities and to M.D./Ph.D. candidates. Training will include course work in molecular and developmental biology, epidemiology and biostatistics, a seminar series, an annual review of the progress of candidates, and a yearly symposium designed for presentation of studies generated by the graduate and postdoctoral students within the program. Each trainee will also be required to take a course focused on ethical issues in the conduct of science. The progress of each trainee will be reviewed annually by the Executive Committee. It is anticipated that the Training Program will continue to be successful in preparing trainees for research careers in an important area of medicine.

说明（由申请人提供）：本修订后的 (A2) 申请旨在竞争性更新辛辛那提大学医学院和辛辛那提儿童医院医疗中心的发育和围产期内分泌学培训补助金，该补助金最初于 1993 年资助。其目的是培训医学博士和博士，使其成为学术医学领域的独立研究人员。该计划将为总共三名博士后研究员和三名博士提供资助。辛辛那提大学研究生计划的候选人。教师顾问由来自三个临床系、六个基础科学系和药学院的二十四名对发育和围产期内分泌学有主要兴趣的资深研究人员组成。研究主题包括滋养层分化和蜕膜化的调节、生长因子在哺乳动物发育中的作用、发育过程中生长激素、催乳素和胎盘催乳素基因家族的分子生物学以及激素作用机制。教师们有着共同的研究兴趣并有着合作的历史。每个人的研究都获得美国国立卫生研究院 (NIH) 的资助，并拥有作为研究生和博士后导师的良好记录。该计划将包括一个由计划主任、执行委员会以及外部和内部顾问委员会组成的行政核心。博士前培训生将获得博士学位。辛辛那提大学医学院细胞生物学、神经生物学和解剖学系、分子和细胞生理学系、分子遗传学、生物化学和微生物学系、环境健康科学系、病理学和药学系以及分子和发育生物学和神经科学跨学科项目。博士后实习生必须具有医学博士或博士学位。学位，或两者兼而有之。将特别关注少数群体和医学博士/博士的培训。候选人。培训将包括分子和发育生物学、流行病学和生物统计学方面的课程、研讨会系列、候选人进展的年度审查，以及旨在展示该项目内研究生和博士后研究成果的年度研讨会。每位学员还需要参加一门专注于科学行为中的伦理问题的课程。执行委员会每年都会审查每位学员的进展。预计培训计划将继续成功地帮助受训者为医学重要领域的研究生涯做好准备。
