DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests continued funding for a research training program in hematology that has been successful in attracting young physician-scientists into academic medicine. The program has as its primary objective to prepare MD, MD/PhD, and PhD postdoctoral fellows for productive careers as academic scientists and physician-scientists. The focus of training supported by this grant remains within the scientific discipline of hematology. An evolving feature of the training program is an expanded emphasis to provide training opportunities in translational research. The training will be carried out in an enriched environment of active basic and clinical investigation at an institution that emphasizes the career development of physician scientists. The specific objectives are: 1) To identify and recruit outstanding postdoctoral trainees, inclusive of gender and ethnicity, who wish to obtain comprehensive knowledge of the principles and techniques of basic or translational research related to hematology; 2) To attract highly motivated clinicians to enter careers as physician-scientists and provide them with comprehensive instruction in the design and implementation of high quality research projects, including participation in cross-disciplinary research teams; 3) To train physician-scientists for academic careers in hematology and related scientific disciplines and prepare them for a successful transition to independence; 4) To expose talented Ph.D. scientists to the field of hematology and train them for careers as independent investigators. Since the last renewal, the training program has undergone a transition to new leadership and several new initiatives have been instituted. These include a formal external review process, the establishment of a mentoring committee for each trainee, and the implementation of several new strategies to improve the recruitment of trainees from underrepresented minority groups. The rich training environment provided by the diverse faculty, extensive laboratory, clinical, and core facilities, and strong institutional support should ensure continued success in attracting and preparing highly qualified postdoctoral trainees for careers in academic hematology.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请要求继续资助血液学研究培训项目，该项目已成功吸引年轻的医师科学家进入学术医学领域。该项目的主要目标是为医学博士、医学博士/博士和博士后研究员做好学术科学家和医师科学家的富有成效的职业生涯的准备。这笔赠款支持的培训重点仍然是血液学科学学科。培训计划的一个不断发展的特点是更加重视提供转化研究的培训机会。培训将在一个强调医师科学家职业发展的机构中，在活跃的基础和临床研究的丰富环境中进行。具体目标是： 1）识别和招募优秀的博士后培训生，不限性别和种族，希望获得血液学相关基础或转化研究的原理和技术的全面知识； 2) 吸引积极性高的临床医生进入医师科学家职业，并为他们提供设计和实施高质量研究项目的全面指导，包括参与跨学科研究团队； 3) 培训医师科学家从事血液学和相关科学学科的学术职业，并为他们成功过渡到独立做好准备； 4）暴露有才华的博士。科学家进入血液学领域，并培训他们成为独立研究人员。自上次更新以来，培训计划经历了新领导层的过渡，并制定了多项新举措。其中包括正式的外部审查流程、为每位学员建立指导委员会，以及实施多项新战略以改善从代表性不足的少数群体中招募学员的情况。多元化的师资队伍、广泛的实验室、临床和核心设施以及强大的机构支持提供的丰富的培训环境应确保持续成功地吸引和准备高素质的博士后学员从事学术血液学职业。
