Multidisciplinary Pulmonary and Critical Care Research Training Program

描述（由申请人提供）：这是一个T32奖的新申请，以支持犹他州医学院的肺部和重症监护研究的多学科培训计划。犹他州大学在肺部和重症监护科学和培训方面有着悠久而杰出的历史。该培训计划的教师将由来自医学，人类遗传学，儿科学和麻醉学系的20名高级科学家组成。它包括肺和重症监护的基础研究人员，临床研究人员，基础研究人员的工作是相关的，但外面，肺社区，和人类遗传学。这些教师有很强的合作和培训年轻研究人员的历史。许多人都参与了翻译和跨学科的研究项目。该计划将提供4个实习生职位（医学博士）的支持。或PhD）进行博士后培训。学员将承诺至少2年的培训计划。学员将从肺科奖学金在肺和重症监护医学，从新生儿奖学金计划的部门或从个人在个别导师的研究计划的个人招募。学员可以选择基础研究途径或临床研究途径。在这两个途径，培训计划的关键组成部分包括一个指导的个人研究项目，教学课程直接相关的受训者的选择领域和额外的课程，旨在扩大受训者的研究视角。临床研究途径的学员将参加临床研究硕士学位课程。所有学员将参加课程，以提高在研究生涯（科学写作，赠款写作）和研究的负责任行为的长期成功的机会。每个学员将有一个单独的指导委员会，由导师组成，至少有一名基础研究员，一名临床研究员和一名人类遗传学家。这些委员会的一个重要作用是不断使受训人员了解对关键问题采取的多学科办法。基于犹他州大学的特殊机构优势，学员将有广泛的机会发展在遗传学，系统生物学和生物医学信息学，老年病学和老年病学方面的有用能力。培训计划将由一名计划主任领导，该计划主任将由计划教师内部的多学科执行委员会提供支持。我们的计划将使年轻科学家能够在未来追求肺部和重症监护医学的新生物学，重点是从新发现和多学科方法到复杂问题的转化科学。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a new application for a T32 award to support a Multidisciplinary Training Program in Pulmonary and Critical Care Research at the University of Utah School of Medicine. The University of Utah has a long and distinguished history in pulmonary and critical care science and training. The faculty for this training program will consist of 20 senior scientists drawn from the Departments of Medicine, Human Genetics, Pediatrics and Anesthesia. It includes basic researchers in pulmonary and critical care, clinical researchers, basic researchers whose work is relevant to, but outside, the pulmonary community, and human genetics. These faculty members have a strong history of collaboration and of training young investigators. Many have been integrally involved in translational and cross-disciplinary research projects. This program will provide support for 4 trainee positions (M.D. or PhD) for postdoctoral training. Trainees will commit a minimum of 2 years to the training program. Trainees will be recruited from the Pulmonary Division fellowship in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, from the Division of Neonatology fellowship program or from individuals in the research programs of individual mentors. Trainees may elect either a basic research pathway or clinical research pathway. On both pathways, key components of the Training Program include a mentored individual research project, didactic courses directly relevant to the trainee's chosen field and additional courses intended to broaden the trainee's research perspective. Trainees on the clinical research pathway will be enrolled in the Masters of Science in Clinical Investigation degree program. All trainees will take courses to enhance opportunities for long term success in a research career (Scientific Writing, Grant Writing) and in the Responsible Conduct of Research. Each trainee will have an individual mentorship committee composed of the mentor and, at minimum, a basic investigator, a clinical researcher and a human geneticist. An important role of these committees will be to constantly expose the trainees to multidisciplinary approaches to key problems. Based on the special institutional strengths at the University of Utah, trainees will have extensive opportunities to develop useful competencies in genetics, systems biology and biomedical informatics, geriatrics and neonatology. The Training Program will be led by a Program Director, who will be supported by a multidisciplinary Executive Committee from within the Program faculty. Our program will equip young scientists to pursue the new biology of pulmonary and critical care medicine in the future, with emphasis on translational science flowing from new discoveries and multidisciplinary approaches to complex problems.
