DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the UIC Multidisciplinary Oral Sciences Training Program (MOST Program) is to provide outstanding research training to predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees in five areas relevant to the oral craniofacial complex: microbiology/immunology, oral cancer, wound healing, tissue engineering/ biomaterials, and clinical/translational research. The MOST Program provides a comprehensive and flexible approach to training individuals, with the goal of establishing a pipeline of young scientists and clinician scientists who are expertly trained and will pursue careers in oral health research. The program consists of three components. The first component, short term predoctoral research training for dental students, offers brief training activities that will induce participants to consider careers in oral health research. The second component, long-term predoctoral training, will train DSTP students, and includes study within the COD doctoral program in Oral Sciences or an aligned doctoral program. Highly qualified non-dentists may also obtain a PhD in this component. The third component, postdoctoral training, targets individuals who already hold a PhD, DOS, or DDS-PhD, with the goal of preparing them to be fully capable independent scientists in oral health research. For post-graduates, the program will be individually tailored. Post-graduate dentists who require additional formal research training will complete either a PhD program or the MS in Clinical Research (via a UIC K30 Clinical Research Training Program). To encourage translational research, predoctoral and postdoctoral non-clinician trainees will participate in an innovative Introduction to Clinical Problems Program. All trainees will have access to training in translational research via the UIC Center for Clinical and Translational Science. Trainees from all program components will interact through scheduled journal clubs, seminars, and meetings. The program is supported by an interdisciplinary and collaborative group of 27 faculty mentors from the UIC Colleges of Dentistry, Engineering, Pharmacy, and Medicine. Each faculty member maintains an active research program within the five focus areas of research and has appropriate mentoring experience. The enrollment of under-represented minorities is fostered by an established and vibrant recruitment plan. Due to recent growth in our research capacity and infrastructure, UIC is poised to provide research training to support the NIDCR stated goal of "ensuring an adequate and well trained research workforce that reflects the current and emerging needs of science and includes sufficient numbers of investigators from diverse disciplines and from underrepresented groups."

描述（由申请人提供）：UIC多学科口腔科学培训计划（MOST计划）的目标是在与口腔颅面复合体相关的五个领域为博士前和博士后学员提供出色的研究培训：微生物学/免疫学、口腔癌、伤口愈合、组织工程/生物材料以及临床/转化研究。 MOST 计划提供了一种全面而灵活的方法来培训个人，其目标是建立一批年轻科学家和临床科学家，他们经过专业培训，并将从事口腔健康研究的职业。该计划由三个部分组成。第一个组成部分是为牙科学生提供短期博士前研究培训，提供简短的培训活动，引导参与者考虑口腔健康研究的职业。第二个组成部分是长期博士前培训，将培训 DSTP 学生，包括在口腔科学 COD 博士课程或一致的博士课程中进行学习。高素质的非牙医也可以获得该部分的博士学位。第三个部分是博士后培训，针对已经拥有博士学位、DOS 或 DDS-PhD 的个人，目标是使他们成为口腔健康研究领域完全有能力的独立科学家。对于研究生，该计划将根据个人情况量身定制。需要额外正式研究培训的研究生牙医将完成博士学位课程或临床研究硕士学位（通过 UIC K30 临床研究培训计划）。为了鼓励转化研究，博士前和博士后非临床培训生将参加创新的临床问题介绍计划。所有学员都将有机会通过伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校临床和转化科学中心接受转化研究培训。来自所有项目组成部分的学员将通过预定的期刊俱乐部、研讨会和会议进行互动。该项目得到了来自 UIC 牙科学院、工程学院、药学院和医学院的 27 名教师导师组成的跨学科协作小组的支持。每位教职员工都在五个重点研究领域内开展积极的研究计划，并拥有适当的指导经验。既定且充满活力的招聘计划促进了代表性不足的少数族裔的入学。由于最近我们的研究能力和基础设施的增长，UIC 准备提供研究培训，以支持 NIDCR 的既定目标，即“确保拥有充足且训练有素的研究人员队伍，反映当前和新兴的科学需求，并包括足够数量的来自不同学科和代表性不足群体的研究人员。”
