DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This competing renewal application seeks continuation of support for a postdoctoral Training Program that prepares talented individuals for independent research careers in the reproductive sciences. The Program emphasizes guided research under the mentorship of established investigators, focusing on cellular and molecular approaches and the translation of research findings to human biology and/or clinical application. The multidisciplinary training faculty, drawn from the Schools of Medicine, Veterinary Medicine, Dental Medicine and the College of Arts and Sciences, represents the disciplines of Biochemistry, Biology, Cell and Developmental Biology, Genetics, Pathology, Pharmacology, and Physiology and the clinical disciplines of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Internal Medicine, Pathology and Pediatrics. Trainee candidates holding the Ph.D., M.D., V.M.D. or equivalent degrees are selected based on excellence in their past research and academic pursuits, and their potential to become independent investigators. The Training Program actively seeks physician trainees and has an established curriculum that supplements their research training with didactic course work and may encompass a formal Ph.D. degree program. Under represented minority candidates are pursued with help from institutional resources. Appointments are made by consensus of the training faculty. Trainees select a mentor or mentors with approval of the Program's Executive Committee. Joint mentorship is encouraged based on the Program's strong tradition of collaboration in research training and the clear benefits to the trainee of the broader scope of expertise afforded by this arrangement. Trainees also participate in an extensive academic enrichment program including weekly research seminars, combined laboratory meetings and journal clubs. The faculty evaluates trainee progress on a semi-annual basis, considering quality of research, productivity, and growth towards independence. Resources available include the Center for Research on Reproduction and Women's Health and its Molecular Biology and Biostatistics Core Facilities, the Mellon Foundation Center of Excellence in Contraceptive Development, and the Office of Postdoctoral Research, which sponsors a variety of programs to prepare trainees for academic careers, as well as careers in industry. Trainees are generally supported by the grant for no more than two years; they are expected to submit applications for individual NRSA, K awards or equivalent fellowships to sponsor additional training. Trainees have an excellent record for securing these awards.

描述（由申请人提供）：此竞争性更新申请寻求继续支持博士后培训计划，该计划为生殖科学领域的独立研究职业培养人才。该计划强调在知名研究人员的指导下进行指导性研究，重点关注细胞和分子方法以及研究成果向人类生物学和/或临床应用的转化。多学科培训师资队伍来自医学院、兽医学院、牙科学院和文理学院，代表生物化学、生物学、细胞与发育生物学、遗传学、病理学、药理学和生理学等学科以及妇产科、内科、病理学和儿科等临床学科。持有 Ph.D.、M.D.、V.M.D. 的实习生候选人或同等学位的选择是基于他们过去的研究和学术追求的卓越性，以及他们成为独立研究者的潜力。培训计划积极寻找医师实习生，并制定了既定课程，通过教学课程补充他们的研究培训，并可能包括正式的博士学位。学位课程。在机构资源的帮助下寻找代表性不足的少数族裔候选人。任命是在培训教师一致同意的情况下进行的。受训者在项目执行委员会的批准下选择一名或多位导师。基于该计划在研究培训方面的强大合作传统以及这种安排所提供的更广泛的专业知识对受训者的明显好处，鼓励联合指导。学员还参加广泛的学术充实计划，包括每周的研究研讨会、联合实验室会议和期刊俱乐部。教师每半年评估一次实习生的进步，考虑研究质量、生产力和独立成长。可用的资源包括生殖和妇女健康研究中心及其分子生物学和生物统计学核心设施、梅隆基金会避孕开发卓越中心以及博士后研究办公室，该办公室赞助各种项目，为学员的学术职业和工业职业做好准备。学员获得补助金的资助期限一般不超过两年；他们需要提交个人 NRSA、K 奖或同等奖学金的申请，以赞助额外的培训。学员在获得这些奖项方面有着出色的记录。
