DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The specific aim of this competitive renewal of our training program in Trauma, Sepsis, Inflammation, and Critical Care is to develop physician/scientists who are well grounded in physiology, molecular biology, and molecular genetics. This program is designed to teach interested individuals to develop hypothesis-based research plans, enabling the trainees to transfer developments and new information from bench to bedside, leading to the development of novel and innovative therapeutic strategies in trauma and critical care. This training program is devoted to two years research training, and candidates for the training program must have an MD or PhD degree from an accredited medical or graduate school; only United States citizens or permanent residents are eligible. A two-year research commitment is required, and MD trainees are expected to have completed at least three years of postdoctoral training prior to beginning the fellowship. To achieve an understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying organ failure in trauma and sepsis, trainees are placed in laboratories under the direction of scientific preceptors where state-of-the-art scientific methods are available and preceptors are committed to the training of physician/scientists. The inclusion of faculty from numerous departments across campus has produced a diverse program, and individuals selected as potential preceptors are nationally/internationally recognized scientists who have a long-term history of collaboration with investigators in the Department of Surgery. A diversity of research at UT Southwestern examines injury and inflammatory responses, enabling potential trainees to examine pathophysiologic mechanisms of trauma, sepsis, inflammation, and critical care. Trauma and sepsis constitute a major portion of health care costs in today's society. The development of clinical innovations that ultimately improve outcome of critically ill patients would be expected to reduce hospital stay and reduce the enormous financial burden that trauma and sepsis produce. Thus, the research and training described herein are particularly relevant to public health issues and concerns.

描述(由申请者提供)：本次竞争性更新我们的创伤、败血症、炎症和危重护理培训计划的具体目标是培养在生理学、分子生物学和分子遗传学方面有良好基础的医生/科学家。该计划旨在教授感兴趣的个人制定基于假设的研究计划，使受训人员能够将发展和新信息从工作台转移到床边，从而在创伤和危重护理方面发展新颖和创新的治疗策略。这项培训计划为期两年，培训计划的候选人必须拥有经认可的医学或研究生院的医学博士或博士学位；只有美国公民或永久居民才有资格参加。需要两年的研究承诺，MD实习生在开始奖学金之前至少要完成三年的博士后培训。为了了解创伤和脓毒症中器官衰竭的细胞和分子机制，受训人员被安排在实验室的科学导师的指导下，那里有最先进的科学方法，导师致力于医生/科学家的培训。来自校园内许多部门的教员参与了一个多样化的项目，被选为潜在导师的个人是国家/国际公认的科学家，他们与外科的研究人员有着长期的合作历史。德克萨斯大学西南分校的一系列研究检查了损伤和炎症反应，使潜在的受训者能够检查创伤、脓毒症、炎症和危重护理的病理生理机制。创伤和脓毒症是当今社会医疗费用的主要组成部分。临床创新的发展最终将改善危重患者的结局，预计将减少住院时间，并减少创伤和脓毒症造成的巨大经济负担。因此，这里描述的研究和培训与公共卫生问题和关切特别相关。
