This is a proposal for the continuation of the Institutional Training Program in Skeletal, Craniofacial and Oral Biology at the University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine as a T90/R90 program. It is intended to help meet the substantial need for independent scientists trained in research related to improving oral, dental and craniofacial health in the United States. The program has trained and will continue to train dental scholars to meet the growing needs of academic dentistry, who are competent as clinicians and independent scientists, who are able to initiate and maintain funded research programs, who understand multidisciplinary research and who are prepared for the evolution of their research into new directions. Areas of research training include skeletal biology, stem cell biology, regenerative medicine, oral and craniofacial biology and clinical and translational research. The major tracks of the training program are the DMD/PhD (7-8 yrs of training with 5 years of support from this training grant; 4 present trainees; 7 additional trainees requested), PhD (4-5 yrs of training with 3 years of support; 4 present trainees; 5 additional trainees requested), postdoctoral research (3 yrs; 4 present trainees; 6 additional trainees requested) and non-citizen PhD trainees (with DDS degrees) (4-5 years of training with 3-5 years of support; 0 present trainees; 2 additional trainees requested). We will be training individuals with a broad range of backgrounds, including those with BS/BA degrees to those who have completed PhD and/or dental residency training. To provide a solid, common foundation for our scholars/trainees, we have developed Core Activities required of all trainees in all training tracks. In addition to providing important training elements, the Core Activities provide opportunities for both formal and informal interactions between trainees in various disciplines and at various stages in their training. We are introducing several new program features to (i) insure training milestones are achieved, (ii) facilitate preparation of F and K awards by trainees and (iii) better integrate clinical and research training for our DMD/PhDs to enhance transition into an academic career. The Health Center has a dynamic group of faculty in Skeletal, Craniofacial and Oral Biology, with highly successful collaborations among faculty throughout the Schools of Dental Medicine and Medicine. The Biomedical Science PhD program graduate faculty and active institutional research centers and clinical signature programs provide laboratory, translational and patient oriented research opportunities that enable a diversified training environment for the program tracks, allow flexibility for the individual needs of trainees, and ensure successful progress through the tracks. The institution has vigorous trainee recruitment programs; several are directed towards under-represented minority candidates. We will continue to provide training that is tailored to each candidate, while maintaining a focus on skeletal, craniofacial and oral biology through symposia, seminars, courses, clinical research centers and collaborative research activities which are integrated both within individual tracks and amongst all the tracks of the program.

这是一项关于继续进行Skeleton、颅面和口腔机构培训方案的建议 生物学在康涅狄格大学牙科医学院作为T90/R90计划。它旨在帮助 满足大量需要的独立的科学家在研究有关的培训，以改善口腔，牙科和 美国的颅面健康。该计划已经培训并将继续培训牙科学者， 满足学术牙科日益增长的需求，谁是有能力作为临床医生和独立的科学家， 谁能够发起和维持资助的研究计划，谁了解多学科研究 并且准备好将他们的研究发展到新的方向。研究培训领域包括 骨骼生物学、干细胞生物学、再生医学、口腔和颅面生物学以及临床和 翻译研究培训计划的主要轨道是DMD/博士（7-8年的培训，5 4名现有受训人员;要求增加7名受训人员），博士（4-5年的 3年支助培训; 4名现有受训人员;要求增加5名受训人员），博士后研究（3 年; 4名现有学员;要求增加6名学员）和非公民博士学员（拥有DDS学位）（4-5 培训3-5年，提供3-5年的支助;目前没有受训人员;要求增加2名受训人员）。我们将 培训具有广泛背景的个人，包括具有BS/BA学位的人， 完成博士和/或牙科住院医师培训。为我们提供一个坚实的共同基础， 为了满足所有学者/学员的需求，我们制定了所有培训轨道中所有学员所需的核心活动。除了 核心活动提供了重要的培训内容，为正式和非正式的培训提供了机会。 不同学科和不同培训阶段的学员之间的互动。我们正在引入 几个新的计划特点是：（i）确保训练里程碑的实现，（ii）促进F和K的准备 （iii）为我们的DMD/博士提供更好的临床和研究培训，以提高 过渡到学术生涯。健康中心有一个充满活力的教师小组在Skeleton，颅面 和口腔生物学，与整个牙科学院的教师之间非常成功的合作 医学和医学。生物医学科学博士课程研究生教师和活跃的机构 研究中心和临床签名计划提供实验室，转化和患者为导向的研究 机会，使一个多元化的培训环境的计划轨道，允许灵活性， 学员的个人需求，并确保通过轨道的成功进展。该机构具有强大的 培训生招聘方案;有几个方案是针对代表性不足的少数族裔候选人的。我们将 继续提供针对每个候选人的培训，同时保持对骨骼，颅面 和口腔生物学通过专题讨论会，研讨会，课程，临床研究中心和合作研究 这些活动既被整合在单个轨道内，也被整合在该计划的所有轨道之间。
