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)：这是一个非常成功的移植免疫学和干细胞生物学培训计划的竞争性更新的重新提交。在过去的11年里，路易斯维尔大学战略性地招募了一批活跃的国际公认的移植和干细胞生物学研究人员，该大学因其在复合组织同种异体移植、耐受和干细胞介导的再生医学方面的全面翻译研究而日益受到认可。这一培训计划直接满足了NIH培训拨款计划的使命，以帮助确保拥有一支多样化和训练有素的劳动力队伍，担任与国家生物医学研究议程相关的领导角色。到目前为止，所有职位都有优秀的申请者，其中包括六名妇女(一名少数)，从而解决了所有三名审查员的主要关切。申请者必须拥有博士学位、医学博士学位或医学博士学位。他们必须提交一份简历、发表名单、三封推荐信和一份对所提议的具体研究的陈述。由项目主任和高级培训人员组成的执行培训委员会挑选受训人员。受训者在一名培训师和一名或多名共同导师的指导下制定计划并进行基础研究。对培训计划的评估分几个层次进行，包括提交手稿和摘要；口头陈述和参加系列研究研讨会；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资助金(AHA、JDRF、ASH或其他基金会或社会奖学金)。该培训方案的总体进展由外部咨询委员会通过半年一次的会议和反馈进行评估。外部咨询委员会还协助少数族裔的招聘。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、位置集中的实验室成功培训研究员，我们的目标是我们的学员将有资格在工业、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。我们既定的记录表明，我们正朝着实现这一目标的方向前进。
