Multidisciplinary Pulmonary and Critical Care Research Training Program

描述（由申请人提供）：这是一个新的申请T32奖，以支持犹他大学医学院肺部和重症监护研究的多学科培训计划。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。该培训项目的教师将由来自医学部、人类遗传学、儿科和麻醉科的20名资深科学家组成。它包括肺部和重症监护的基础研究人员，临床研究人员，工作与肺部社区和人类遗传学相关但不在其中的基础研究人员。这些教员在合作和培养年轻研究者方面有着悠久的历史。许多人都参与了转化和跨学科的研究项目。该项目将提供4个实习岗位（医学博士或博士），用于博士后培训。受训者将至少接受两年的培训。受训者将从肺部和重症医学的肺科奖学金、新生儿科奖学金项目或个人导师的研究项目中招募。学员可以选择基础研究途径或临床研究途径。在这两种途径中，培训计划的关键组成部分包括一个有指导的个人研究项目，与学员选择的领域直接相关的教学课程，以及旨在拓宽学员研究视角的额外课程。临床研究方向的学员将被纳入临床研究理学硕士学位课程。所有受训者都将参加课程，以增加在研究生涯（科学写作，拨款写作）和负责任的研究行为方面取得长期成功的机会。每个受训者将有一个单独的指导委员会，该委员会由导师和至少一名基础研究员、一名临床研究员和一名人类遗传学家组成。这些委员会的一个重要作用将是不断地使受训者接触多学科方法来解决关键问题。基于犹他大学的特殊机构优势，受训者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，计划主任将得到计划教员内部多学科执行委员会的支持。我们的项目将装备年轻科学家在未来追求肺部和重症医学的新生物学，重点是转化科学，从新的发现和多学科的方法来解决复杂的问题。

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.
