DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): There is a widely acknowledged national shortage of translationally trained young investigators, both Ph.D.s and M.D.s. To accomplish this goal, the Reproductive & Developmental Biology Training Program at the Massachusetts General Hospital selects strongly motivated candidates from a rich candidate pool; provides trainees with an intensive research experience in basic and/or clinical investigation; supports these efforts with a skilled and well-funded faculty engaged in important research questions; and complements this mentored research experience by a strong didactic experience in the underpinning sciences of genetics, reproductive and developmental biology and clinical investigation. Trainees are selected on the basis of prior academic and research accomplishments; a strong future commitment to an academic career; and a personal interview indicating their motivation and future potential as independent investigators. The PI (Dr. Crowley) is a Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, Director of the Harvard Reproductive Endocrine Sciences Center, an established scientist and recognized mentor who governs in conjunction with Dr. Patricia Donahoe, a highly qualified senior scientist, who serves as Co-Director. The training faculty consists of active, well-funded scientists whose expertise lines the full spectrum of reproductive and developmental research from fundamental developmental biology to bench-to-bedside investigations. The training faculty has been expanded in this proposal to reflect and take appropriate advantage of the new tools and opportunities that are redefining translational research. Each trainee is closely supervised by an active yet individualized mentorship program overseen by a senior faculty member. An extensive and rigorous didactic program interlaces tightly with their strong, independent laboratory programs and compliments the trainees' 2-3 years of research experience (90%effort). The training period often involves additional years as junior faculty to ensure maximal competitiveness for subsequent independent support, the ultimate goal of this Training Program. Research facilities are spacious and fully equipped with recently modernized laboratory and clinical research space dedicated to the training faculty of this grant. The institutional environment is superb and the reinforcement from the Reproductive Endocrine Sciences Centers programs is substantial. This institutional training grant represents a critical stabilizing element in these programs and is a critical link that enables talented trainees to achieve subsequent independent careers in Reproduction and Developmental Biology.

描述（由申请人提供）：普遍认为，全国缺乏经过专业培训的年轻研究人员，包括博士和医学博士。为了实现这一目标，生殖与发育生物学培训计划在马萨诸塞州总医院从丰富的候选人库中选择强烈动机的候选人;为学员提供基础和/或临床调查的密集研究经验;支持这些努力与从事重要研究问题的熟练和资金充足的教师;并通过在遗传学，生殖和发育生物学以及临床研究的基础科学方面的强大教学经验来补充这种指导性研究经验。受训者的选择是基于先前的学术和研究成就;对学术生涯的坚定未来承诺;以及个人面试，表明他们的动机和未来作为独立调查员的潜力。PI（Crowley博士）是哈佛医学院的医学教授，哈佛生殖内分泌科学中心主任，是一位成熟的科学家和公认的导师，与Patricia Donahoe博士（一位高素质的资深科学家，担任联合主任）共同管理。培训教师由活跃，资金充足的科学家组成，他们的专业知识涵盖了从基础发育生物学到临床研究的生殖和发育研究的全方位。培训教师已在本提案中扩大，以反映和适当利用重新定义转化研究的新工具和机会。每个学员都受到一个活跃而个性化的导师计划的密切监督，该计划由一名高级教师监督。一个广泛而严格的教学计划与他们强大的独立实验室计划紧密交织，并称赞学员2-3年的研究经验（90%的努力）。培训期间往往涉及额外的几年作为初级教师，以确保最大的竞争力，为随后的独立支持，本培训计划的最终目标。研究设施宽敞，设备齐全，最近现代化的实验室和临床研究空间，专门用于该补助金的培训教师。机构环境是一流的，从生殖内分泌科学中心方案的加强是实质性的。该机构培训补助金代表了这些计划的关键稳定因素，是使有才华的学员能够在生殖和发育生物学领域实现后续独立职业的关键环节。
