Hematopoiesis training grant

描述(由申请人提供)： 本申请书是宾夕法尼亚大学造血训练助学金的续期申请。该计划包括4个博士后和2个博士后职位，用于正常和恶性造血方面的培训。我们要求增加一名医学博士/博士候选人的博士前职位，以满足这批受训人员获得更多机会的要求。该计划目前有21名培训员，并在恶性造血和衰老的造血领域增加了培训员。造血培训计划是一个多学科、跨部门的培训计划，利用了宾夕法尼亚大学医学院、宾夕法尼亚儿童医院和维斯塔尔研究所的广泛资源。培训计划的学术元素包括经过验证的课程作业、实验室工作、研究报告、论文研究、职业发展咨询和校外会议，这些结合在一起，培训新的研究人员血液发育的基础知识。这笔赠款的集结培训员在造血领域拥有广泛而富有成效的培训记录，并通过个人赠款和方案项目提供大量研究支持。这些实验室提供了几乎涉及造血细胞发展和功能所有方面的培训机会。造血研究小组吸引了宾夕法尼亚大学几个研究生项目的候选人和来自世界各地的博士后申请者。该计划特别侧重于培训个人对造血的基本原理有广泛和深入的了解，目标是在这一重要的生物学领域培养成功的研究人员。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is a request for renewal of the Hematopoiesis Training Grant of the University of Pennsylvania. The program consists of 4 post-doctoral and 2 pre-doctoral positions for training in aspects of normal and malignant hematopoiesis. We are requesting one additional pre-doctoral position of a M.D./Ph.D. candidate to meet the requests for additional opportunities for this group of trainees. The program currently has 21 trainers with trainers added in the areas of malignant hematopoiesis and hematopoiesis of aging. The Hematopoiesis Training Program is a multi-disciplinary, cross departmental training program drawing on the extensive resources of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Children's Hospital of Pennsylvania and the Wistar Institute. The academic elements of the training program include a proven mixture of coursework, laboratory work, research presentations, thesis research, career development counseling and extramural conferences that combine to train new investigators in the fundamentals of blood development. The assembles trainers for this grant have extensive and highly productive training records in the area of hematopoiesis and substantial research support through both individual grants and program projects. These laboratories offer training opportunities across virtually all aspects of hematopoietic cell development and function. The Hematopoiesis research group draws candidates from several graduate programs at the University of Pennsylvania and post-doctoral applicants from around the world. The program focuses specifically on training individuals to have a broad and deep understanding of the fundamentals of hematopoiesis with a goal of developing successful researchers in this important area of biology.
