DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This renewal application for T32 DK067872, Research Training in Gastroenterology at the University of Maryland, Baltimore, requests 5 yrs of funding for 3 predoctoral and 5 postdoctoral (MD, PhD, MD/PhD) trainees. Overall goals of this program are unchanged; to seek and prepare talented trainees for academic careers in Gl by offering an integrated, Interdisciplinary curriculum that emphasizes mucosal biology & immunology, cell signaling & proliferation, enteric pathogens & vaccine development, and clinical research. School of Medicine entities represented by faculty with strong NIH funding cut across departmental lines to include Medicine, Pediatrics, Surgery, Microbiology & Immunology, Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, and Epidemiology & Preventive Medicine. Broad-based training opportunities allow predoctoral trainees to obtain PhD or MD/PhD degrees and postdoctoral trainees to earn MS, MPH or PhD degrees. Four research tracks (Cell Signaling & Proliferation, Mucosal Immunology & Microbiology, Epithelial Cell Biology, and Clinical & Translational Science) are directed by accomplished senior investigators and comprised of highly productive, experienced mentors who interact both within and amongst these tracks. Trainees devote a minimum of 2 yrs in lab- or patient-based research guided by faculty with exceptional mentorship and research credentials. In its initial period of funding, the program was highly successful; all training slots were filled, trainee retention was 100%, and productivity was outstanding. Both predoctoral T32 trainees who completed training qualified for the PhD degree. Of 8 postdoctoral fellows completing training, 4 are completing clinical training and 4 are Assistant Professors pursuing basic or clinical research in academic Medicine or Pediatrics (1 supported by and another with pending NIDDK K08 awards). This T32 program is extraordinarily diverse; of 15 trainees (2005-10), 10 (66%) are women; 3 (20%) are African American; and 2 (13%) are Hispanic. During the past 4 years, the program matured and grew by adding funded, productive faculty with strong mentoring credentials, and by innovation (e.g. adding Junior Faculty members, to 'mentor future mentors', and offering a Ph.D. Program for Clinicians). PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Increasingly competitive research funding and lucrative practice opportunities discourage trainees from careers in gastroenterology research. The overall goal of this program is to seek and nurture talented pre- and postdoctoral trainees preparing for academic careers in gastroenterology by offering an integrated, interdisciplinary, individualized curriculum in both basic and clinical digestive diseases-related research.

描述（由申请人提供）：本续期申请为T32 DK067872，巴尔的摩马里兰大学胃肠病学研究培训，要求为3名博士生和5名博士后（MD, PhD, MD/PhD）学员提供5年的资助。这个项目的总体目标没有改变；通过提供综合的跨学科课程，以粘膜生物学和免疫学、细胞信号传导和增殖、肠道病原体和疫苗开发以及临床研究为重点，为Gl的学术事业寻找和培养有才华的学员。由拥有雄厚NIH资金的教师代表的医学院实体跨越院系线，包括医学，儿科学，外科，微生物学与免疫学，生物化学与分子生物学，流行病学与预防医学。广泛的培训机会，允许博士前学员获得博士或医学博士学位，博士后学员获得硕士、公共卫生硕士或博士学位。四个研究方向（细胞信号传导与增殖，粘膜免疫学与微生物学，上皮细胞生物学和临床与转化科学）由有成就的高级研究人员指导，并由高效，经验丰富的导师组成，他们在这些方向内和之间进行互动。受训者在具有特殊指导和研究证书的教师的指导下，至少投入2年的实验室或患者研究。在最初的资助阶段，该项目非常成功；所有的培训名额都被填满了，学员保留率达到100%，工作效率非常高。两名博士前T32学员均完成了博士学位培训。在完成培训的8名博士后中，4人正在完成临床培训，4人是从事医学或儿科学术基础或临床研究的助理教授（1人获得NIDDK K08奖，1人正在申请中）。这个T32项目非常多样化；在15名受训人员（2005-10年）中，10名（66%）是妇女；3名（20%）是非裔美国人；2名（13%）是西班牙裔。在过去的4年里，该项目通过增加有资金的、富有成效的、具有强大指导资质的教员和创新（例如增加初级教员，“指导未来的导师”，并为临床医生提供博士学位课程）而成熟和发展。
