DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Scholar Candidate: Dr. Deborah Polk is a behavioral scientist on the faculty at the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine. Her work with the transdisciplinary Center for Oral Health Research in Appalachia (COHRA) has honed her interest in examining the interaction of genotypes with behavioral environments in chronic periodontitis. Her short-term goal is to gain fundamental knowledge regarding periodontal disease, genotype by environment statistical analysis, and the conduct of patient-oriented oral health research. Her long-term goal is to become an independent research scientist with a funded research program that identifies modifiable factors that could lead to effective treatments for and the prevention of chronic periodontitis. Environment: The University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine has COHRA, an ongoing NIDCR-funded grant examining oral health. DNA samples from this study are included in the NIH's Gene and Environment Initiative genome-wide association study. The University of Pittsburgh has a long-standing track record of providing junior faculty with exceptional research and career development training. Mentor & Consultants: Dr. Mary Marazita, from the School of Dental Medicine, will serve as the primary mentor for this award. She is the principal investigator for COHRA and is an oral health geneticist. She will provide expertise in genetics and career development. Dr. Charles Sfeir, from the School of Dental Medicine, will serve as a consultant in chronic periodontitis. Dr. Candace Kammerer, from the Graduate School of Public Health, will serve as a consultant in data analytic techniques. Dr. Robert Weyant, Chair of the Department of Dental Public Health and Information Management will serve as a consultant in career development. Research Career Development Plan: In addition to formal coursework in periodontal disease, genetics, statistics, and scientific integrity, a series of tailored tutorials will be conducted with the mentor/consultants, which will focus on their areas of expertise. Research Study: Data will be collected from COHRA's high-risk Appalachian sample. Through NIH's ongoing genome-wide association study, single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with chronic periodontitis will be identified in these participants. Participants' smoking, chronic psychosocial stress, and chronic periodontitis will be assessed. The aim of this project is to identify genotype by behavioral environment interactions in chronic periodontitis. Results will provide a foundation for intervention research addressing chronic periodontitis.

描述(由申请人提供)：学者候选人：黛博拉·波尔克博士是匹兹堡大学牙医学院的行为科学家。她在阿巴拉契亚跨学科口腔健康研究中心(COHRA)的工作培养了她对研究慢性牙周炎患者的基因与行为环境相互作用的兴趣。她的短期目标是获得关于牙周病的基础知识，按环境进行的基因统计分析，以及以患者为导向的口腔健康研究的开展。她的长期目标是成为一名独立的研究科学家，拥有一个由资金资助的研究计划，该计划确定可能导致有效治疗和预防慢性牙周炎的可改变因素。环境：匹兹堡大学牙科医学院拥有COHRA，这是一项由NIDCR资助的正在进行的口腔健康检查拨款。这项研究的DNA样本包括在NIH的基因与环境倡议全基因组关联研究中。匹兹堡大学在为初级教师提供卓越的研究和职业发展培训方面有着长期的记录。导师和顾问：来自牙科医学院的玛丽·马拉齐塔博士将担任该奖项的主要导师。她是COHRA的首席研究员，也是一名口腔健康遗传学家。她将提供遗传学和职业发展方面的专业知识。来自牙医学院的Charles Sfeir博士将担任慢性牙周炎的顾问。来自公共卫生研究生院的坎迪斯·卡默勒博士将担任数据分析技术方面的顾问。牙科公共卫生和信息管理系主任罗伯特·韦恩特博士将担任职业发展方面的顾问。研究职业发展计划：除了牙周病、遗传学、统计学和科学诚信方面的正式课程外，还将与导师/顾问一起进行一系列量身定做的教程，重点放在他们的专业领域。研究研究：数据将从COHRA的阿巴拉契亚高危样本中收集。通过NIH正在进行的全基因组关联研究，将在这些参与者中识别与慢性牙周炎相关的单核苷酸多态。参与者的吸烟、慢性心理社会压力和慢性牙周炎将被评估。本项目的目的是通过慢性牙周炎的行为环境交互作用来确定基因型。研究结果将为慢性牙周炎的干预研究提供基础。
