Multidisciplinary Pulmonary and Critical Care Research Training Program

描述(由申请人提供)：这是一个新的T32奖项的申请，以支持犹他大学医学院在肺和重症护理研究方面的多学科培训计划。犹他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。这一培训计划的教员将由来自医学系、人类遗传学系、儿科和麻醉系的20名资深科学家组成。它包括肺部和重症护理的基础研究人员、临床研究人员、其工作与肺部社区和人类遗传学相关但不相关的基础研究人员。这些教职员工有很强的合作和培训年轻研究人员的历史。许多人都完整地参与了翻译和跨学科的研究项目。该计划将为4个实习生职位(医学博士或博士)提供博士后培训支持。学员将在培训计划中投入至少两年时间。受训人员将从肺部和重症护理医学的肺科奖学金、新生儿科奖学金计划或个人导师的研究计划中招募。学员可以选择基础研究路径或临床研究路径。在这两条道路上，培训计划的关键组成部分包括有指导的个人研究项目、与受训人员选择的领域直接相关的教学课程以及旨在拓宽受训人员研究视角的附加课程。临床研究途径的实习生将参加临床调查理学硕士学位课程。所有受训人员将参加课程，以增加在研究生涯(科学写作、助学金写作)和负责任的研究行为方面取得长期成功的机会。每个学员将有一个单独的指导委员会，由导师组成，至少包括一名基础研究人员、一名临床研究人员和一名人类遗传学家。这些委员会的一个重要作用将是不断向受训人员介绍解决关键问题的多学科方法。基于犹他大学的特殊机构优势，学员将有广泛的机会发展遗传学、系统生物学和生物医学信息学、老年病学和新生儿学方面的有用能力。培训计划将由一名计划主任领导，该主任将由计划教职员工中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在未来从事肺部和重症监护医学的新生物学，重点是来自新发现的转化科学和解决复杂问题的多学科方法。

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.
