DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is for renewal funding of research training in liver biology and disease at UCSF. The rationale is two-fold: (1) the field is growing rapidly and currently has insufficient numbers of well-trained investigators, and (2) the resources and environment at UCSF for training in liver research are exceptional. The program, which is based in the Division of Gastroenterology, provides two years of support to trainees who seek an intensive grounding towards a career as academic hepatologists. It is inter-disciplinary, encompassing the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics and the Liver Transplant Program for those undertaking clinical and outcomes research, and the UCSF Liver Center for those engaged in laboratory-based research. The mentor group comprises 13 faculty from the Departments of Medicine, Pathology, Biochemistry and Microbiology/Immunology. All have research programs in liver research, experience in training, and a record of working together. The program is overseen by a Steering Committee, which is responsible for screening applicants, tendering offers, and monitoring progress. Applications for admission will be solicited annually by national advertisement. The largest candidate pool will be M.D. applicants to the Investigator (research-intensive) track of the UCSF subspecialty program in Gastroenterology, but the process will be open to others including Ph.D.'s. The successful applicant will have a record of accomplishment in the form of publications and, in many cases, both M.D. and Ph.D. degrees. Applicants with a Ph.D. degree only must have a strong liver focus and orientation to translational research. The range of training within the program is broad, from clinical epidemiology, genetics, health outcomes and policy, to cell biology, organogenesis, immunology, host-pathogen interactions and fibrosis/carcinogenesis. Coincident with their research, trainees are provided formal instruction in basic and clinical sciences as part of the UCSF graduate programs in Clinical Research, Biomedical Sciences and Biological Sciences. A core curriculum encompassing ethical conduct of research and effective scientific communication is required of all students. Graduates of this research training in hepatology will be ready to assume a faculty-level position and to compete for individual extramural funding.

描述（由申请人提供）： 该应用是用于在UCSF的肝脏生物学和疾病研究培训的更新资金。基本原理是两个方面：（1）该领域的发展迅速，目前没有足够的训练有素的研究人员，并且（2）UCSF的肝脏研究培训的资源和环境非常出色。该计划基于胃肠病学部门，为在学术肝病学家的职业生涯中寻求密集基础的学员提供了两年的支持。它是跨学科的，涵盖了从事临床和成果研究的人们的流行病学和生物统计学和肝移植计划，以及从事基于实验室研究的人的UCSF肝脏中心。导师小组由医学，病理，生物化学和微生物学/免疫学系的13个教师组成。所有人都有肝脏研究，培训经验以及共同努力的研究计划。该计划由指导委员会监督，该委员会负责筛查申请人，招标和监视进度。录取申请将每年通过国家广告征集。最大的候选池将是UCSF胃肠病学的UCSF亚专业计划的研究人员（研究密集型）的申请人，但该过程将向包括博士学位的其他人开放。成功的申请人将以出版物的形式记录成就记录，在许多情况下，M.D.和Ph.D.学位。拥有博士学位的申请人程度仅必须具有强烈的肝脏重点和转化研究的方向。该计划中的训练范围广泛，从临床流行病学，遗传学，健康结果和政策，到细胞生物学，器官发生，免疫学，宿主 - 病原体相互作用以及纤维化/致癌作用。与他们的研究相吻合，作为UCSF临床研究，生物医学科学和生物科学的UCSF研究生计划的一部分，学员获得了基础和临床科学的正式教学。所有学生都需要核心课程，包括研究和有效的科学沟通的道德行为。这项肝病研究培训的毕业生将准备好担任教职员工职位，并争夺个人的校外资金。
