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）：该T32 DK067872的续签申请，巴尔的摩马里兰大学的胃肠病学研究培训，要求提供5年资金，以提供3个供培养点的资金，5次，5次，5个博士后（MD，PhD，PhD，PhD，PhD/PHD）。该计划的总体目标没有改变；通过提供综合的跨学科课程，以强调粘膜生物学和免疫学，细胞信号和增殖，肠病原体和疫苗开发以及临床研究，为GL的学术职业寻找才华横溢的学者。由教师代表的医学学院实体，跨部门削减了大量的NIH资金，包括医学，儿科，手术，微生物学和免疫学，生物化学与分子生物学以及流行病学和预防医学。基于广泛的培训机会使学会学员可以获得博士学位或MD/PHD学位和博士后学员，以获得MS，MPH或PHD学位。四个研究轨道（细胞信号传导和增殖，粘膜免疫学和微生物学，上皮细胞生物学以及临床和转化科学）由成就的高级研究人员指导，并由高产，有经验的导师组成，这些导师在这些轨道内部和这些轨道中都相互作用。受训者至少在基于实验室或患者的研究中至少投入了2年的研究，这些研究由教职员工指导和研究证书。在最初的资金阶段，该计划非常成功。所有培训插槽都填补了，保留学员为100％，生产力很出色。两位完成培训的培训资格获得了博士学位的T32学员。在8个完成培训的博士后研究员中，有4名正在完成临床培训，其中4位是从事学术医学或儿科研究基础或临床研究的助理教授（1支持，另一项由待定的NIDDK K08奖）。这个T32计划非常多样化。在15名学员（2005-10）中，有10名（66％）是女性； 3（20％）是非裔美国人； 2（13％）是西班牙裔。在过去的四年中，该计划通过添加具有强大指导证书的资助，生产力的教师和创新（例如，增加初级教职员工，为“指导未来的导师”，并为临床医生提供博士学位课程）。 公共卫生相关性：越来越多的竞争性研究资金和有利可图的实践机会阻止受训者在胃肠病学研究中的职业。该计划的总体目标是寻求和培养有才华的学术前和博士后学员，以在基本和临床消化疾病相关的研究中提供一项综合的，跨学科的，个性化的课程，为胃肠病学学术职业做准备。
