Trauma Research Fellowship

描述(由申请者提供)：我们提出了一个培训计划，旨在吸引和培训两年奖学金的医生，致力于研究损伤反应的病理生理学。该培训计划的目标是在基础研究和临床研究领域培养有才华的年轻人，教他们设计和实施成功的研究项目，并在科学研究的伦理和方法方面给他们一个坚实的背景。这一奖学金的目的是增加北卡罗来纳大学内关于伤害的研究重点，并培训个人成为对创伤领域感兴趣的独立调查人员和学术人员。受训人员将从众多候选人中挑选出来。我们将特别努力寻找少数族裔申请者，以增加我们在该机构和其他机构的受训人员的多样性。该培训计划是两年的全职工作，与一大群有才华的教师导师中的一人或多人合作。研究项目集中在损伤后器官衰竭、免疫学和宿主抵抗等领域。每周与受训者举行研讨会，使他们能够向研究界介绍他们的材料。此外，受训者被要求在外科大轮次上展示他们的研究，并向全国会议提交摘要。在项目的第一个月，为学员提供了两个为期一周的强化课程，即负责任的研究行为和临床研究方法。受训者有机会参加北卡罗来纳大学和周边地区大学提供的各种研究生水平的课程，以增强他们的研究经验。培训咨询委员会将协助项目主任招募和选择受训人员，批准受训人员的研究和教学计划，将受训人员分配到适当的研究培训学院，并监督计划活动。项目评估委员会将对培训项目进行总体评估，并向培训委员会提供反馈。该项目中的所有研究培训学院都是由NIH现有资金或其他校外资金资助的知名研究人员，他们都是经验丰富的内科科学家导师。教职员工的兴趣各不相同，允许多名候选人在培训计划中找到合适的导师。多学科合作有着深厚的机构历史。一组临床医生-科学家导师将通过讨论研究的临床维度为受训人员提供指导。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose a training program designed to attract and train physicians in a two year fellowship devoted to research on the pathophysiology of the response to injury. The goals of this training program are to nurture talented young individuals in the areas of basic-research and clinical investigation, to teach them to design and perform successful research projects, and to give them a solid background in the ethics and methods of scientific research. The objective of this fellowship is to increase the focus of research on injury within the University of North Carolina and to train individuals to become independent investigators and academic faculty with an interest in the area of trauma. Trainees will be selected from a broad group of candidates. Special efforts will be made to identify minority applicants who will increase the diversity of our trainees in this and other institutions. The training program is two years of full-time effort working with one or more of a large group of talented faculty mentors. Research projects are concentrated in the areas of organ failure after injury, immunology and host resistance. Weekly seminars with the trainees allow them to present their material to the research community. Additionally, trainees are required to present their research at Surgery Grand Rounds, and submit abstracts to national meetings. Two intensive week-long courses, Responsible Conduct of Research and Methods in Clinical Research, are provided for trainees in the first month of the program. Trainees have the opportunity to attend graduate level courses from the broad range available at the UNC-CH and surrounding area universities to enhance their research experience. The Training Advisory Committee will assist the Program Director in recruitment and selection of trainees, approval of trainee's research and didactic plans, assignment of trainee to appropriate Research Training Faculty, and monitoring of program activities. The Program Evaluation Committee will provide overall evaluation of the training program and provide feedback to the Training Committee. All of the Research Training Faculty in the program is established investigators with current NIH funding or other extramural funding, and is experienced mentors of physician-scientists. The faculty has diverse interests, allowing multiple candidates to find appropriate mentors within the training program. There is strong institutional history of multidisciplinary collaboration. A group of Clinician-Scientist mentors will provide guidance to trainees through discussion of the clinical dimensions of the research.
