DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Cellular and Molecular Endocrinology Training Program at Johns Hopkins University seeks renewal funding. Since the last renewal period, training faculty have increased from 15 to 35, a new training site at the National Institutes of Health has been added, a new interdepartmental Division of Metabolism has been created, and significant new resources have been committed. The goal of the Interdepartmental Training Program is to expand the pool of well-trained and productive investigators in the biomedical sciences related to endocrinology. The Program Director works with a Steering Committee to choose candidates from two pools of talented individuals: 1) endocrine fellows who have completed one year of clinical training, and 2) M.D., M.D. & Ph.D. or Ph.D. applicants who have an interest in fundamental laboratory training. The program has been able to recruit the most qualified candidates through a process that stresses diversity. Selection is based not only on the individual's qualifications and interests, but also on their potential and commitment to applying fundamental science to clinical problems. The mentoring program is structured with a strong fundamental knowledge base that is individually tailored for basic and translational research in endocrinology. The training program consists of at least two years of research under the direction of the most qualified and talented mentors at Johns Hopkins and the National Institutes of Health in endocrinology and relevant disciplines. Trainees participate in an innovative didactic curriculum that consists of research seminars, data/journal clubs, and formal courses. Fellows will also be trained in the ethical conduct of research, have well defined milestones for accomplishing scientific goals, and have regular meetings with mentors, the steering committee and others in the scientific community. Training programs in written and oral communication and leadership are instituted as well as an evaluation system for fellows and mentors. The availability of an NIH-funded General Clinical Research Center and mentors with translational research protocols provides trainees with an opportunity to develop translational protocols that complement their laboratory studies. We are committed to nurturing a new cadre of faculty who will become leaders in the field of endocrinology research.

描述（由申请人提供）： 约翰·霍普金斯大学的细胞和分子内分泌学培训项目正在寻求更新资金。自上一次更新期以来，培训教员已从 15 名增加到 35 名，在国立卫生研究院增加了一个新的培训地点，创建了一个新的跨部门代谢部门，并投入了大量新资源。跨部门培训计划的目标是扩大内分泌相关生物医学领域训练有素、富有成效的研究人员队伍。项目总监与指导委员会合作，从两个人才库中选择候选人：1) 完成一年临床培训的内分泌研究员，以及 2) 医学博士、医学博士和博士。或博士学位对基础实验室培训感兴趣的申请人。该计划能够通过强调多样性的流程招募最合格的候选人。选择不仅基于个人的资格和兴趣，还基于他们将基础科学应用于临床问题的潜力和承诺。指导计划具有强大的基础知识基础，专为内分泌学的基础和转化研究量身定制。该培训计划包括在约翰·霍普金斯大学和美国国立卫生研究院内分泌学及相关学科最有资格和最有才华的导师的指导下进行至少两年的研究。学员参加创新的教学课程，包括研究研讨会、数据/期刊俱乐部和正式课程。研究员还将接受研究道德行为方面的培训，为实现科学目标制定明确的里程碑，并定期与导师、指导委员会和科学界其他人员举行会议。制定了书面和口头沟通和领导力方面的培训计划以及研究员和导师的评估制度。 NIH 资助的普通临床研究中心和具有转化研究方案的导师为学员提供了开发转化方案以补充其实验室研究的机会。我们致力于培养一支新的教师队伍，他们将成为内分泌学研究领域的领导者。
