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）：全国普遍缺乏受过翻译训练的年轻研究人员，包括博士和医学博士。为了实现这一目标，马萨诸塞州总医院的生殖与发育生物学培训项目从丰富的候选人中选择了有强烈动机的候选人；为学员提供基础和/或临床研究方面的丰富研究经验；支持这些努力与技术和资金充足的教师从事重要的研究问题；他在遗传学、生殖和发育生物学以及临床研究等基础科学方面拥有丰富的教学经验。学员的选择是基于之前的学术和研究成果；对未来学术生涯的坚定承诺；还有个人访谈，表明他们作为独立调查员的动机和未来潜力。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的主任，一位知名的科学家和公认的导师，他与Patricia Donahoe博士一起管理，Patricia Donahoe博士是一位高素质的资深科学家，担任联席主任。培训师资队伍由活跃、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部领域。在本提案中，培训师资队伍已经扩大，以反映并适当利用重新定义翻译研究的新工具和机会。每个学员都受到一个积极而个性化的指导计划的密切监督，该计划由一名高级教员监督。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结合，并补充了学员2-3年的研究经验（90%的努力）。培训期间通常包括作为初级教师的额外时间，以确保最大的竞争力，为后续的独立支持，这是该培训计划的最终目标。研究设施宽敞，设备齐全，配有最近现代化的实验室和临床研究空间，专门用于培训本补助金的教员。机构环境是一流的，生殖内分泌科学中心项目的加强是实质性的。这项机构培训补助金是这些项目的关键稳定因素，也是使有才华的学员在生殖和发育生物学领域取得独立职业的关键环节。
