DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the UIC Multidisciplinary Oral Sciences Training Program (MOST Program) is to provide outstanding research training to predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees in five areas relevant to the oral- craniofacial complex: microbiology/immunology, oral cancer, wound healing, tissue engineering/biomaterials, and clinical/translational research. The MOST Program engages 35 training faculty from 6 UIC colleges to provide interdisciplinary and collaborative training in research related to oral and craniofacial sciences. MOST provides a comprehensive and flexible approach to training individuals at multiple levels, with the goal of establishing a pipeline of young scientists and clinician-scientists who are expertly trained and encouraged to pursue careers that includes oral and craniofacial research. The program consists of two different components. The first component, predoctoral training, trains DSTP students, and includes study within the COD doctoral program in Oral Sciences or an aligned doctoral program. Highly qualified non-dentists with thesis projects relevant to oral health are also eligible to participate in this component. Th second component, post-doctoral training, targets individuals who already hold a PhD, DDS/DMD, or DDS/DMD-PhD, with the goal of preparing them to be fully capable independent scientists in oral health research. Post-graduate dentists, including junior faculty, may obtain additional formal research training by completing either a PhD program or the MS in Clinical and Translational Research. For all trainees, the program is individually tailored according to prior experience, and each trainee is provided with a customized timeline of activities. Within this interdisciplinary yet integrated program, trainees and faculty interact through scheduled journal clubs, seminars, career development sessions, and other trainee events. The program is supported by faculty with substantial expertise in the five focus areas of research, and by an aggressive plan to recruit under-represented minorities. Due to growth in our research capacity and infrastructure, UIC is uniquely poised to provide research training that will support the NIDCR stated goal of developing "a cadre of highly qualified independent scientists who can successfully address basic, behavioral, and clinical research questions to improve oral, dental and craniofacial health."

描述（由申请人提供）：UIC多学科口腔科学培训计划（MOST计划）的目标是在与口腔-颅面复合体相关的五个领域为博士前和博士后学员提供优秀的研究培训：微生物学/免疫学，口腔癌，伤口愈合，组织工程/生物材料和临床/转化研究。MOST计划吸引了来自6所UIC学院的35名培训教师，为口腔和颅面科学相关研究提供跨学科和协作培训。MOST提供了一个全面而灵活的方法来培训多层次的个人，目标是建立一个年轻科学家和临床科学家的管道，他们经过专业培训，并鼓励他们从事包括口腔和颅面研究在内的职业。该方案由两个不同的组成部分。第一个组成部分，博士前培训，培训DSTP学生，并包括在口腔科学或对齐的博士课程COD博士课程的研究。具有与口腔健康相关的论文项目的高素质非牙医也有资格参加这一部分。第二个组成部分，博士后培训，目标是已经拥有博士学位，DDS/DMD或DDS/DMD-博士学位的个人，目的是使他们成为口腔健康研究领域完全有能力的独立科学家。研究生牙医，包括初级教师，可以通过完成博士课程或临床和转化研究的MS获得额外的正式研究培训。对于所有受训人员，该方案都是根据以往的经验量身定制的，每个受训人员都有一个定制的活动时间轴。在这个跨学科的综合计划中，学员和教师通过预定的期刊俱乐部，研讨会，职业发展会议和其他学员活动进行互动。该计划得到了在五个重点研究领域具有丰富专业知识的教师的支持，并通过积极的计划招募代表性不足的少数民族。由于我们的研究能力和基础设施的增长，UIC是唯一准备提供研究培训，将支持NIDCR的既定目标，发展“一个高素质的独立科学家谁可以成功地解决基本，行为和临床研究问题，以改善口腔，牙齿和颅面健康的干部。"
