DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a resubmission of a competing renewal for a highly successful training program in transplantation immunology and stem cell biology. Over the past 11 years, a dynamic group of internationally recognized investigators in transplantation and stem cell biology were strategically recruited to the University of Louisville which is increasingly recognized for its comprehensive translational research in composite tissue allotransplantation, tolerance, and stem cell-mediated regenerative medicine. This training program directly addresses the mission of the NIH training grant program to help ensure that a diverse and highly trained workforce is available to assume leadership roles related to the nation's biomedical research agenda. All positions have been filled with outstanding applicants to date including six women (one minority), thereby addressing the major concern of all three reviewers. Applicants must have a Ph.D., D.V.M., or M.D. They are required to submit a CV, publication list, three letters of recommendation, and a statement of the specific research proposed. An Executive Training Committee comprised of the program Director and senior trainers selects the trainees. Trainees assemble a program and undertake basic research with one trainer and one or more co-mentors. Evaluation of the Training Program occurs on several levels, including manuscript and abstract submissions; oral presentations and participation at research seminar series; and completion and submission of an NRSA postdoctoral individual training grant or equivalent (AHA, JDRF, ASH, or other foundation or society fellowships) within the second year of training. The overall progress of this Training Program is assessed by an External Advisory Board through semiannual meetings and feedback. The External Advisory Board also assists in minority recruitment. The faculty in this training program has the expertise and breadth of background to successfully train fellows in well-equipped, centrally-located laboratories, it is our goal that our trainees will be qualified to assume leadership positions related to transplantation and stem cell biology in industry, academia, and biotechnology. Our established track record demonstrates that we are well on our way to achieving this goal.

描述（由申请人提供）：这是移植免疫学和干细胞生物学方面非常成功的培训计划的竞争更新的重新提交。在过去的 11 年里，路易斯维尔大学战略性地招募了一批在移植和干细胞生物学方面充满活力的国际公认研究人员，该大学因其在复合组织同种异体移植、耐受性和干细胞介导的再生医学方面的综合转化研究而日益受到认可。该培训计划直接解决了 NIH 培训拨款计划的使命，以帮助确保多样化且训练有素的劳动力能够承担与国家生物医学研究议程相关的领导角色。迄今为止，所有职位均由优秀申请人填补，其中包括六名女性（一名少数），从而解决了所有三位评审员的主要关切。申请人必须拥有博士学位、兽医学博士或医学博士学位。他们需要提交一份简历、出版物清单、三封推荐信以及所提议的具体研究的陈述。由项目总监和高级培训师组成的执行培训委员会负责挑选学员。学员与一名培训师和一名或多名联合导师一起制定计划并进行基础研究。培训计划的评估分为多个层面，包括手稿和摘要的提交；口头报告和参加研究研讨会系列；在培训的第二年内完成并提交 NRSA 博士后个人培训补助金或同等奖学金（AHA、JDRF、ASH 或其他基金会或协会奖学金）。该培训计划的总体进展由外部顾问委员会通过半年度会议和反馈进行评估。外部顾问委员会还协助少数族裔招聘。该培训项目的教师拥有专业知识和广泛的背景，可以在设备齐全、位于中心的实验室中成功培训研究员，我们的目标是让我们的学员有资格在工业界、学术界和生物技术领域担任与移植和干细胞生物学相关的领导职位。我们既定的业绩记录表明，我们正在努力实现这一目标。
