This is a new application from Columbia University that requests funding for a postdoctoral training program in digestive and liver diseases. This program is designed to train M.D. investigators to become independent basic, clinical and translational researchers. The growing need for translational researchers in the U.S., and their importance to the nation's health, has been recently highlighted in the report by the National Commission on Digestive Diseases. Our training program is primarily based within the Division of Digestive and Liver Diseases at Columbia University but encompasses a highly collaborative and interactive faculty (14 senior, 7 junior) from many departments. Trainees, recruited through a rigorous process, primarily from our gastroenterology fellowship program, will be assigned to one of three tracks: (1) basic Gl research; (2) basic liver research; or (3) clinical epidemiology research. The trainees are assigned to a mentor with a specific research project but also complete a rigorous program of didactic instruction that includes cross training and multidisciplinary education. Regardless of the research focus, all trainees will enroll in didactic programs to strengthen their knowledge of biostatistics and clinical trials and obtain a background in basic laboratory investigation. Although created as a new T32 program, this application is designed to solidify and formalize the highly successful research training program that has already been put in place at Columbia University. The gastroenterology fellowship program at Columbia recruits only research-oriented Gl fellows and is currently training, and has trained, fellows in both basic and clinical tracks. Dr. Timothy C. Wang, PI and Director of this Training program, has been actively engaged as a mentor of young basic and clinical scientists for many years. An Executive Training Program Advisory Committee and an External Advisory Committee have been created. The program is tightly integrated with the newly award NIH CTSA and the MS/POR training program. A program to enhance recruitment of underrepresented ethnic groups and women is in place.

这是哥伦比亚大学的一项新申请，为消化和肝脏疾病的博士后培训项目申请资金。该项目旨在培养医学研究人员成为独立的基础、临床和转化研究人员。美国国家消化疾病委员会最近的报告强调了对转化研究人员日益增长的需求，以及他们对国家健康的重要性。我们的培训项目主要基于哥伦比亚大学消化和肝脏疾病部门，但包括来自多个部门的高度协作和互动的教师（14名大四学生，7名大三学生）。通过严格流程招募的学员，主要来自我们的胃肠病学奖学金项目，将被分配到以下三个方向之一：(1)基础Gl研究；(2)肝脏基础研究；(3)临床流行病学研究。受训者被分配给一个导师，负责一个特定的研究项目，但也要完成一个严格的教学指导计划，包括交叉培训和多学科教育。无论研究重点如何，所有学员都将参加教学计划，以加强他们的生物统计学和临床试验知识，并获得基础实验室调查的背景。虽然是作为一个新的T32项目创建的，但这个应用程序的目的是巩固和正式确定哥伦比亚大学已经实施的非常成功的研究培训项目。哥伦比亚大学的胃肠病学奖学金项目只招收以研究为导向的Gl研究员，目前正在培训，并且已经培训了基础和临床方面的研究员。Timothy C. Wang博士是该培训项目的主任，多年来一直积极从事年轻基础和临床科学家的指导工作。设立了行政人员培训计划咨询委员会和外部咨询委员会。该计划与新授予NIH CTSA和MS/POR培训计划紧密结合。一项加强招募代表性不足的少数民族和妇女的计划已经到位。
