DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the UIC Multidisciplinary Oral Sciences Training Program (MOST Program) is to provide outstanding research training to predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees in five areas relevant to the oral craniofacial complex: microbiology/immunology, oral cancer, wound healing, tissue engineering/ biomaterials, and clinical/translational research. The MOST Program provides a comprehensive and flexible approach to training individuals, with the goal of establishing a pipeline of young scientists and clinician scientists who are expertly trained and will pursue careers in oral health research. The program consists of three components. The first component, short term predoctoral research training for dental students, offers brief training activities that will induce participants to consider careers in oral health research. The second component, long-term predoctoral training, will train DSTP students, and includes study within the COD doctoral program in Oral Sciences or an aligned doctoral program. Highly qualified non-dentists may also obtain a PhD in this component. The third component, postdoctoral training, targets individuals who already hold a PhD, DOS, or DDS-PhD, with the goal of preparing them to be fully capable independent scientists in oral health research. For post-graduates, the program will be individually tailored. Post-graduate dentists who require additional formal research training will complete either a PhD program or the MS in Clinical Research (via a UIC K30 Clinical Research Training Program). To encourage translational research, predoctoral and postdoctoral non-clinician trainees will participate in an innovative Introduction to Clinical Problems Program. All trainees will have access to training in translational research via the UIC Center for Clinical and Translational Science. Trainees from all program components will interact through scheduled journal clubs, seminars, and meetings. The program is supported by an interdisciplinary and collaborative group of 27 faculty mentors from the UIC Colleges of Dentistry, Engineering, Pharmacy, and Medicine. Each faculty member maintains an active research program within the five focus areas of research and has appropriate mentoring experience. The enrollment of under-represented minorities is fostered by an established and vibrant recruitment plan. Due to recent growth in our research capacity and infrastructure, UIC is poised to provide research training to support the NIDCR stated goal of "ensuring an adequate and well trained research workforce that reflects the current and emerging needs of science and includes sufficient numbers of investigators from diverse disciplines and from underrepresented groups."

描述（由申请人提供）：UIC多学科口腔科学培训计划的目标（最多）是为与口腔颅颅相关的五个领域提供出色的研究培训：与口腔颅相关的五个领域：微生物学/免疫学，口腔癌，口腔癌，口腔癌，伤口康复，组织工程，组织/生物生物治疗和临床研究。最多的计划为培训个人提供了一种全面而灵活的方法，目的是建立一条经过熟练培训的年轻科学家和临床医生的管道，并将从事口腔健康研究。该程序由三个组成部分组成。第一个组成部分是针对牙科学生的短期前研究培训，它提供了简短的培训活动，这些活动将诱使参与者考虑口腔健康研究中的职业。第二个组成部分是长期培训培训，将培训DSTP学生，并包括在口腔科学或一致博士课程的COD博士课程中学习。高素质的非婚姻者也可以在此组成部分中获得博士学位。第三个组成部分是博士后培训，针对已经拥有博士学位，DOS或DDS-PHD的个人，目的是使他们成为口腔健康研究中完全有能力的独立科学家。对于研究生，该程序将进行单独量身定制。需要其他正规研究培训的研究生牙医将完成博士学位课程或临床研究中的MS（通过UIC K30临床研究培训计划）。为了鼓励翻译研究，托管前和博士后非临床学员将参加一项创新的临床问题介绍计划。所有学员将通过UIC临床和转化科学中心进行翻译研究培训。来自所有计划组件的学员将通过预定的期刊俱乐部，研讨会和会议进行互动。该计划得到了来自UIC牙科，工程，药房和医学学院的27名教师导师的跨学科和合作小组的支持。每个教职员工都在研究的五个重点领域中维护一个积极的研究计划，并具有适当的指导经验。既定且充满活力的招聘计划培养了代表性不足的少数民族的入学人数。由于我们的研究能力和基础设施的最新增长，UIC有望提供研究培训，以支持NIDCR既定的目标，即“确保有足够的训练有素的研究劳动力，以反映科学的当前和新兴科学需求，并包括来自多样化学科的足够数量的研究人员，以及来自代表性不足的群体”。
