Sickle Cell Scholar Component

镰状细胞学者培训计划是综合镰状细胞中心赠款教育部分的一个组成部分。将根据RFA中的指南选择镰状细胞学者。在洛杉矶镰状细胞中心的赞助下，该学者将有机会进行与L-谷氨酰胺改善镰状细胞病症状的疗效相关的临床和转化研究，输血镰状细胞病患者心功能障碍的发生，与提供成人护理相关的卫生服务研究，或与粘度在改变人体血流和氧气输送中的作用以及使用工程技术检测镰状化证据有关的转化研究。 该计划的独特之处在于，学者将由中心教育主任监督，他是细胞生物学家和博士水平的教育家。这个人将负责设置教育里程碑，并系统地监控学者的培训计划的进展。 这里还描述了一个管理暑期高中生项目的计划，该项目也将由中心教育主任管理。

The Sickle Cell Scholar training program is an integral part of the education component of the Comprehensive Sickle Cell Center grant. The Sickle Cell Scholar will be chosen according to the guidelines in the RFA. Under the auspices of the Los Angeles Sickle Cell Center, the scholar will have the opportunity to do clinical and translational research related to the efficacy of L-glutamine in ameliorating the symptoms of sickle cell disease, the genesis of cardiac dysfunction in transfused sickle cell patients, the health services research related to provision of adult care, or translational research related to the role of viscosity in alteration of blood flow and oxygen delivery in humans and the use of engineering techniques to detect evidence of sickling. Unique to this program, the scholar will be supervised by the Center education director who is a cell biologist and doctoral level educator. This individual will be responsible for setting educational milestones and systematically monitoring the progress of the scholar to the training program. Also described here is a plan for the management of the summer high school student program that will also be run by the Center education director.
