DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposed training program at the University of Washington is a competing renewal of an existing T32 training grant on Comprehensive Training in Interdisciplinary Oral Health Research, but it technically is being submitted as a new proposal in response to PAR-10-170 for T90/R90 programs, which allows for a limited number of non-citizen postdoctoral trainees. The Comprehensive Training in Interdisciplinary Oral Health Research program has successfully created a comprehensive program that covers a broad spectrum of interdisciplinary oral health research areas. Research areas included are public health, behavioral, and clinical, as well as basic and translational. The multidisciplinary Department of Oral Health Sciences (OHS) in the School of Dentistry serves as the focal point for the program, providing core content for all trainees. Other participating departments include Biostatistics, Epidemiology and Health Services in the School of Public Health. Focal areas in basic and translational sciences include microbial-host interactions and immunology; craniofacial biology, development and disease; orofacial structure and function; and stem cell biology/tissue regeneration. Long-term training programs are included at both pre-doctoral and postdoctoral levels. Long-term pre-doctoral training (7 positions) is offered through PhD programs in all four participating departments, and includes the DDS/PhD program offered through the Oral Biology Graduate Program in OHS. Long-term postdoctoral training (4 to 8 positions per year) is offered for PhD's working on oral health research topics, as well as for dentists seeking additional research training and experience. Included are 2 long term postdoctoral positions designated for non-citizen dentists interested in advanced research training in preparation for a research career, particularly in U.S. schools of dentistry. The pool f non-citizen dentist candidates for these new positions is enhanced by the list of 465 faculties from dental schools in 30 U.S. states and 43 foreign countries who have attended the Summer Institute in Clinical Dental Research Methods over the past 20 years. The Program Director, Dr. Timothy DeRouen, has extensive experience in administration of research and training programs, primarily in public health and clinical research; the Co- Director, Dr. Douglas Ramsay, is a clinician-scientist, NIH-funded principal investigator and Chair of the Department of Oral Health Sciences; and the Associate Director, Dr. Richard Presland, has research and administrative experience in basic and translational research areas. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This training grant includes trainees working in a broad spectrum of oral health research, from basic and translational biological research, to clinical, public health and behavioral research. By definition and design, at least half of the trainees of this training program work directly in oral public health research (epidemiology, biostatistics, health services, dental public health sciences), so the relevance to public health is self-evident. Even those working in basic science areas are steered to topics that potentially translate into clinical and public health applications so that the health of the public will eventually be impacte.

描述（由申请人提供）：这个拟议的培训计划在华盛顿大学是一个竞争性的更新现有的T32培训补助金在跨学科的口腔健康研究的综合培训，但它在技术上是作为一个新的提案提交，以响应PAR-10-170的T90/R90计划，这使得非公民博士后学员数量有限。跨学科口腔健康研究计划的综合培训已经成功地创建了一个全面的计划，涵盖了广泛的跨学科口腔健康研究领域。研究领域包括公共卫生，行为和临床，以及基础和翻译。口腔健康科学（OHS）在牙科学院的多学科部门作为该计划的焦点，为所有学员提供核心内容。其他参与部门包括公共卫生学院的生物统计学，流行病学和卫生服务。基础科学和转化科学的重点领域包括微生物-宿主相互作用和免疫学;颅面生物学、发育和疾病;口面结构和功能;干细胞生物学/组织再生。长期培训计划包括博士前和博士后水平。长期的博士前培训（7个职位）是通过博士课程在所有四个参与部门提供，并包括通过口腔生物学研究生课程在OHS提供DDS/博士课程。长期博士后培训（每年4至8个职位）是为博士工作的口腔健康研究课题，以及为牙医寻求额外的研究培训和经验。其中包括2个长期博士后职位，指定给对高级研究培训感兴趣的非公民牙医，为研究生涯做准备，特别是在美国牙科学校。这些新职位的非公民牙医候选人库得到了来自美国30个州和43个国家的牙科学校的465名教师的名单的加强，他们在过去20年中参加了临床牙科研究方法的夏季研究所。项目主任Timothy DeRouen博士在研究和培训项目的管理方面拥有丰富的经验，主要是在公共卫生和临床研究方面;联合主任道格拉斯拉姆齐博士是一名临床科学家，NIH资助的首席研究员和口腔健康科学系主任;副主任Richard Presland博士在基础和转化研究领域拥有研究和行政管理经验。 公共卫生相关性：该培训补助金包括在广泛的口腔健康研究中工作的学员，从基础和转化生物学研究到临床，公共卫生和行为研究。根据定义和设计，该培训计划的学员中至少有一半直接从事口腔公共卫生研究（流行病学，生物统计学，卫生服务，牙科公共卫生科学），因此与公共卫生的相关性不言而喻。 即使是那些在基础科学领域工作的人也被引导到可能转化为临床和公共卫生应用的主题，以便最终影响公众的健康。
