DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This T32 training program proposal in Infectious Diseases (ID) (P.I., J.R. Schwebke) builds on the established strengths in basic and clinical research of the combined Adult and Pediatric Divisions of Infectious Diseases at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). This is the first competitive renewal for our program which is in its 5th year of training. The purpose of this grant is to provide funding for additional years of training which can be devoted to research training for physicians in the UAB Adult and Pediatric ID Fellowship Programs. Since the last application the Division of Adult ID has merged with Geographic Medicine adding new strengths to our research base. In addition, we have expanded our general Adult ID Fellowship Program from 3 to 4 trainees, all of whom are potential candidates for future funding on the T32. Our fellowship program has been able to attract more academically oriented individuals due to the availability of 3rd and 4th year training via the T32. We have filled all our T32 training slots with talented and productive trainees who have gone on to academic positions within the fields of Pediatric and Adult ID. The funding from this T32 has allowed us to significantly enhance our training programs. Our proposal features opportunities for training experiences in eight (increased from 6) well established, well funded and nationally recognized research programs led by highly visible senior investigators/mentors. These programs are: HIV/AIDS Domestic, HIV/AIDS International, International, Malaria, Mycology, Sexually Transmitted Diseases, Vaccines, and Virology. Each of these programs centers on interdisciplinary fundamental and/or clinical research in high priority areas directly linked to current public needs. In addition, each program has been highly successful in obtaining core federal funding (primarily NIH and CDC) through investigator-initiated R01s and/or large program project, cooperative agreement and contract awards in response to federally mandated RFAs. Our training proposal seeks funding for 2 trainees per year (MD or MD/PhD). Programmatically, an effective interdisciplinary research experience will be implemented by incorporation of required coursework into each individual research plan formulated by the mentor and trainee. Trainees' participation in the curriculum of the NIH K30 UAB Clinical Research Training Program will be required for those training in clinical research. Pursuit of an MPH will also be available. The overall performance and direction of the training program will be reviewed by the Program Director, Co-Directors and Research Advisory Committee (RAC) on a semi-annual basis. Instruction in the responsible conduct of science is achieved through annual updates and certification through the UAB Institutional Review Boards for Human and Animal Use depending on the trainees research needs. In addition, trainees participate in the Clinical Research Training Program led by Dr. Hook.

描述（由申请人提供）：本T32传染病（ID）培训计划提案（P.I.，J.R. Schwebke）建立在伯明翰亚拉巴马大学（UAB）成人和儿科传染病联合部基础和临床研究的基础上。这是第一次有竞争力的更新我们的计划，这是在其第五年的培训。该补助金的目的是为额外的培训年数提供资金，这些培训年数可以用于UAB成人和儿科ID奖学金计划中的医生的研究培训。自上次申请以来，成人ID部门已与地理医学合并，为我们的研究基础增添了新的优势。此外，我们已将我们的一般成人身份证奖学金计划从3名学员扩大到4名学员，他们都是T32未来资金的潜在候选人。我们的奖学金计划已经能够吸引更多的学术导向的个人，由于第三和第四年的培训通过T32的可用性。我们已经为所有T32培训名额配备了才华横溢且富有成效的学员，他们已继续担任儿科和成人ID领域的学术职位。T32的资金使我们能够显着增强我们的培训计划。我们的提案包括在8个（从6个增加）完善，资金充足和国家认可的研究项目中获得培训经验的机会，这些项目由知名的高级研究人员/导师领导。这些方案是：艾滋病毒/艾滋病国内，艾滋病毒/艾滋病国际，国际，疟疾，真菌学，性传播疾病，疫苗和病毒学。每个项目都以与当前公共需求直接相关的高优先领域的跨学科基础和/或临床研究为中心。此外，每个项目都非常成功地获得了核心联邦资金（主要是NIH和CDC），这些资金是通过政府发起的R 01和/或大型项目项目、合作协议和合同授予来响应联邦授权的RFA。我们的培训计划寻求每年资助2名学员（MD或MD/PhD）。在程序上，一个有效的跨学科研究经验将通过将所需的课程纳入由导师和学员制定的每个个人研究计划来实施。临床研究培训要求受训者参加NIH K30 UAB临床研究培训计划的课程。追求MPH也将是可用的。培训计划的总体绩效和方向将由计划主任、联合主任和研究咨询委员会（RAC）每半年审查一次。根据受训者的研究需求，通过UAB人类和动物使用机构审查委员会的年度更新和认证，实现负责任的科学行为指导。此外，学员还参加了由Hook博士领导的临床研究培训计划。
