Dental Academic Research Training Program

描述(由申请者提供)：阿拉巴马大学伯明翰分校牙科学术研究培训(DART)计划是一个综合性的研究培训计划，专注于开发一种创新的、集成的、多学科的方法来培养一支训练有素、熟练、合作的科学家和临床医生科学家队伍，能够解决我国牙科、口腔和颅面的关键研究问题。这份申请虽然被认为是一项新的申请，但将我们现有的NIDCR T-32培训计划“牙科学术研究培训(DART)”(T-32 DE017607-05)过渡到新的T90/R90机制(PAR-10-170)，允许培训外国牙医。该计划是我们之前成功的NIDCR T32研究培训计划(口腔健康博士后培训T32-DE14300和龋齿研究T32-DE007026博士后培训)和卫生专业学生短期研究培训补助金(T35DK07545)资助超过35年的成果。通过这些培训计划获得的经验导致了一个旨在提高牙医、研究生、双学位(DMD/PHD)学生和博士后研究员在基础和临床研究方面的兴趣和知识的创新计划，提供了一条通往富有成效的、独立的牙科学术生涯的途径。综合核心活动包括：美国牙医学会学者日、研究生院研究生日、DART研讨会项目、牙科院长和IOHR研讨会系列、牙科学术事业俱乐部、牙科和骨骼杂志俱乐部、导师、科学和补助金写作课程、实验室管理课程、演讲研讨会和领导力培训，以及负责任的研究指导。DART计划提供四个互补性培训课程：Track I-DMD/Ph.D；Track II-博士前博士学位；Track III-面向海外受训牙医的博士后博士后；Track IV-博士后培训，重点有两个：1)传统博士后经历和2)临床研究公共卫生理学硕士学位。DART的主要目标是在研究密集的合作学术大学环境中为特别积极的受训人员提供更广泛的跨学科研究经验。我们是唯一一所获得NIDCR U-24研究基础设施(DE016449)、U-01以实践为基础的研究网络(DE016747)、R-25研究课程(DE015614)和P30口腔健康研究通过教师招聘(P30DE20744)资助的牙科学校，因此我们是为下一代提供研究培训的独特地位。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Dental Academic Research Training DART) Program at the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Dentistry (UAB SOD) is a comprehensive research-training program focused on the development of an innovative, integrated, multi-disciplinary approach to produce a cadre of well-trained, skilled, collaborative scientists and clinician scientists that are capable to address the critical dental, oral and craniofacial research issues of our nation. This submission although considered a new application, transitions our existing NIDCR T-32 training program "Dental Academic Research Training (DART)" (T-32 DE017607-05) to the new T90/R90 mechanism (PAR-10-170) under the same title allowing training of foreign dentists. This program is a culmination of our prior successful NIDCR T32 Research Training programs (Post- doctoral Training in Oral Health T32-DE14300 & Post-Doctoral Training in Caries Research T32-DE007026) and a Short-Term Research Training for Health Professional Students grant (T35DK07545) funded for over thirty five years. The experience gained through these training programs has lead to an innovative program designed to enhance the interest and knowledge of dentists, graduate students, dual degree (DMD/PhD) students, and postdoctoral fellows in basic and clinical research providing a pathway to productive, independent dental academic careers. Integrative core activities include the SOD's Scholars Day, Graduate School Research Day, DART Seminar Program, SOD Deans' and IOHR Seminar Series, the Dental Academic Career Club, an Dental and Skeletal Journal Club, Mentorship, Scientific and Grant Writing courses, a Laboratory Management course, Presentation Workshop and Leadership Training as well as instruction in responsible conduct of research. The DART Program offers four complementary training tracks: Track I- DMD/Ph.D; Track II- Pre-doctoral Ph.D.; Track III- Pre-doctoral Ph.D. for foreign trained dentists; and Track IV- Post-doctoral training with two emphasis lines 1) a traditional post-doctoral experience and 2) a Master's of Science degree in Public Health in Clinical Research program. The primary objective of the DART is to provide a broadened interdisciplinary research experience for exceptionally motivated trainees in a research-intensive collaborative academic university environment. The UAB SOD is uniquely position to provide research training for the next generation since we are the only dental school that has obtained NIDCR U-24 Research Infrastructure (DE016449), U-01 Practice-based Research Network (DE016747), R-25 Research Curriculum (DE015614) and P30 Oral Health Research Enhancement via Faculty Recruitment (P30DE20744) grants.
