DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective of this program is to provide a productive learning experience in medical research related to diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and liver. The individuals who are accepted into this program will, for the most part, have an M.D. or M.D./Ph.D degree and will have completed their training in internal medicine, surgery or pediatrics. A few individuals with a Ph.D. may also be accepted into the program. Another unique objective of this program is to assist in training academic individuals who are interested in the special diseases of Mexican Americans. The rationale for the program is to provide the opportunity for an in depth research experience under an outstanding mentor that will allow each trainee to learn a variety of research techniques and, in the end, to compete successfully for a position in academic medicine and for research funding. This program is flexible, but basically has two components. The first is designed for the individual interested in basic research and involves learning a variety of techniques in biochemistry, physiology and molecular biology that will be required for a successful basic science career. The second is designed for individuals interested in patient related, clinical research. This latter program has formal instructions in study design, statistics, ethical considerations and other information related to human research. Such individuals will also undergo mentoring by major clinical investigators in this university. In addition to this research training, all trainees, except those with a Ph.D., will undergo clinical training in the areas of hepatology and gastroenterology. Overall, it is anticipated that the period of training will last from four to six years for the four individuals for whom support is requested. There are a large number of possible mentors in this training program so that individuals may be prepared for full-time careers in teaching and research in a variety of areas. These areas include studies related to the understanding and treatment of a variety of liver diseases, the elucidation and prevention of such common disorders as acute fatty infiltration of the liver and gallstones, the understanding and treatment of important illnesses such as inflammatory bowel disease and the reasons for malignant transformation of cells in various areas of the gastrointestinal tract. The program is designed, therefore, to train individuals who will be effective teachers of gastroenterology as well as successful investigators of important illnesses affecting the gastrointestinal tract and liver.

描述(由申请人提供)： 该项目的目标是在与胃肠道和肝脏疾病相关的医学研究方面提供富有成效的学习经验。被录取参加该项目的个人大部分将拥有医学博士或医学博士学位，并将完成内科、外科或儿科学方面的培训。少数拥有博士学位的人也可能被该项目录取。该项目的另一个独特目标是帮助培训对墨西哥裔美国人的特殊疾病感兴趣的学术人员。该计划的基本原理是提供在杰出导师的指导下进行深入研究的机会，使每个受训人员能够学习各种研究技术，并最终成功竞争学术医学职位和研究资金。这个程序很灵活，但基本上有两个组成部分。第一个是为对基础研究感兴趣的个人设计的，涉及学习成功的基础科学事业所需的各种生物化学、生理学和分子生物学技术。第二个是为对患者相关的临床研究感兴趣的个人设计的。后者在研究设计、统计、伦理考量和其他与人类研究相关的信息方面有正式的指导。这些人还将在这所大学接受主要临床研究人员的指导。除了这项研究培训外，除拥有博士学位的学员外，所有学员都将接受肝脏学和胃肠病学领域的临床培训。总体而言，预计被请求提供支助的四名个人的培训期将为四至六年。该培训计划中有大量可能的导师，以便个人可以为在各种领域的教学和研究方面的全职职业生涯做好准备。这些领域包括与各种肝脏疾病的了解和治疗有关的研究、对肝脏和胆结石的急性脂肪渗透等常见疾病的阐明和预防、对炎症性肠病等重要疾病的了解和治疗以及胃肠道不同区域细胞恶性转化的原因。因此，该计划旨在培训将成为胃肠病学有效教师以及影响胃肠道和肝脏的重要疾病的成功研究人员。
