DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application seeks five years of funding for a training program in Stem Cell Biology & Regenerative Medicine to support six pre-doctoral trainees and two post-doctoral fellows with the aim of producing independent investigators capable of sustaining productive research programs in stem cell biology and use of stem cells / stem cell products in patient care. The program comprises 15 primary faculty preceptors from 10 departments (Molecular Genetics & Microbiology / Neuroscience / Pediatrics / Pathology, Immunology & Laboratory Medicine / Physiology and Functional Genomics / Medicine / Materials Science and Engineering / McKnight Brain Institute / Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation / UF Shands Cancer Center) within the Colleges of Medicine and Engineering at the University of Florida, Gainesville. The program faculty is a mix of basic and clinical scientists and is comprised of well-established and well-funded investigators that have received much national and international acclaim in stem cell biology, especially in the area of adult stem cells, spanning neural, hematopoeitic, endocrine, hepatobiliary and dermal stem cell biology. These investigators also have a strong history of student instruction. In addition to the primary Preceptors listed as Key Personnel, information is provided on a number of young investigators (Harfe, Cohn, Cogle and others) with very active and promising academic careers, whose participation will both extend and enrich the research areas covered by the Program. These investigators will be considered full Program members upon receipt of R01 or equivalent extramural funding. Pre-doctoral trainees will be recruited and initially trained in collaboration with the College of Medicine's Interdisciplinary Program in Biomedical Sciences (IDP). The pool of potential candidates averages 40-50 per year, and enroll at the University of Florida from throughout the USA. These pre-doctoral students average combined verbal and quantitative GRE scores of 1250 and GPAs of 3.5. The IDP provides comprehensive classroom training, introductory laboratory courses, laboratory rotations and advanced course work in specialized disciplines. Subsequent training focuses on independent laboratory research supplemented with program-specific activities stressing communicative skills. Pre-doctoral training requires approximately 5 years. While the first year of pre-doctoral support will come from the College of Medicine, it is anticipated that an average of 3 years of support will come from the training grant and the remainder of support from the mentor's research grant or other external sources. Post-doctoral trainees will be recruited nationally at both the Ph.D. and M.D. level. Training for post-doctoral fellows will focus almost exclusively on laboratory research, supplemented with seminars, journal clubs and selected course work, e.g., ethics. Post-doctoral training requires approximately 2-3 years, with a maximum of two years of support from the training grant.

描述（由申请人提供）： 该申请旨在为干细胞生物学和再生医学的培训计划提供五年的资金，以支持六名博士前学员和两名博士后研究员，目的是培养能够维持干细胞生物学生产性研究计划的独立研究人员和在患者护理中使用干细胞/干细胞产品。该计划包括来自10个部门的15名初级教师（分子遗传学和微生物学/神经科学/儿科学/病理学，免疫学和实验室医学/生理学和功能基因组学/医学/材料科学与工程/麦克奈特脑研究所/骨科和康复/ UF尚兹癌症中心）在医学和工程学院在佛罗里达大学，盖恩斯维尔该计划的教师是基础和临床科学家的组合，由在干细胞生物学方面获得了许多国家和国际赞誉的成熟和资金雄厚的研究人员组成，特别是在成人干细胞领域，跨越神经，造血，内分泌，肝胆和真皮干细胞生物学。这些调查人员也有很强的学生教学历史。除了列为关键人员的主要指导者外，还提供了一些年轻研究人员（Harfe，Cohn，Cyndham等）的信息，这些研究人员具有非常活跃和有前途的学术生涯，他们的参与将扩展和丰富该计划所涵盖的研究领域。这些研究者在收到R 01或同等的校外资助后将被视为正式计划成员。 博士前学员将被招募，并与医学院的生物医学科学（IDP）跨学科计划合作进行初步培训。潜在的候选人平均每年40-50人，并从美国各地的佛罗里达大学注册。这些博士生的平均综合口头和定量GRE成绩为1250和GPA的3.5。IDP提供全面的课堂培训、入门实验室课程、实验室轮换和专业学科的高级课程作业。随后的培训侧重于独立的实验室研究，并辅以强调沟通技巧的特定项目活动。博士前培训需要大约5年。虽然第一年的博士前支持将来自医学院，但预计平均3年的支持将来自培训补助金，其余的支持来自导师的研究补助金或其他外部来源。 博士后培训生将在全国范围内招聘，包括博士学位和博士学位。和医学博士水平博士后研究员的培训将几乎完全集中在实验室研究上，辅以研讨会、期刊俱乐部和选定的课程工作，例如，伦理博士后培训大约需要2-3年，最多两年的培训补助金支持。
