DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed renewal is for a continuation of the Biology of Infectious Diseases Training Program to train physician-scientists in infectious diseases-related translational research, both clinical and laboratory-based. The program draws on the laboratory and clinical research skills and resources of a broad group of faculty addressing questions directly relevant to infectious diseases. Funding is requested for four postdoctoral trainees per year, primarily MDs or MD/PhDs, recruited the UCSF Infectious Diseases Fellowship Program, but also PhD postdoctoral trainees from research faculty laboratories. We continue to improve our efforts to recruit underrepresented minorities and women into the program. The main program is a hands-on research experience under the close supervision of a research mentor and a career development committee selected on the basis of the research interests and goals of the trainee. Research may be at the molecular, cellular, whole animal, clinical, or population levels. Educational and training opportunities have been created to prepare individuals for research and leadership positions in academic medicine, public health, or industry in the areas of epidemiology, public health, global health, HIV/AIDS, genomics, antimicrobial resistance, microbial pathogenesis and host response, and immunology. The educational program provides for special courses, small group conferences, research conferences and seminars, coursework in immunology, microbial pathogenesis, biostatistics, epidemiology, study design, scientific writing, and ethics of scientific conduct. Emphasis is placed on personal instruction specifically designed for individual trainees and on multidiscipline interactions. The quality and effectiveness of the program is measured by the success of our trainees in 1) completion of fellowship training, 2) the number and quality of publications in peer-reviewed journals and research presentations, 3) obtaining research funding (e.g., independent research awards, K-awards or equivalent career-development awards, R01-level or equivalent awards), and 4) attainment of a research-oriented career as medical school faculty, in industry, or in the public health sector.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的更新是传染病生物学培训计划的延续，以培训传染病相关转化研究的医生-科学家，包括临床和实验室。该计划利用了广泛的教师群体的实验室和临床研究技能和资源，解决与传染病直接相关的问题。每年需要资助四名博士后学员，主要是医学博士或医学博士/博士，招募了UCSF传染病奖学金计划，但也有来自研究学院实验室的博士博士后学员。我们继续努力招募代表性不足的少数民族和妇女参加该计划。主要课程是在研究导师和职业发展委员会的密切监督下，根据受训者的研究兴趣和目标进行实践研究。研究可能是在分子、细胞、整个动物、临床或群体水平。已经创造了教育和培训机会，为个人在流行病学、公共卫生、全球卫生、艾滋病毒/艾滋病、基因组学、抗菌素耐药性、微生物发病机理和宿主反应以及免疫学等领域的学术医学、公共卫生或工业领域的研究和领导职位做好准备。该教育计划提供特殊课程，小组会议，研究会议和研讨会，免疫学，微生物发病机理，生物统计学，流行病学，研究设计，科学写作和科学行为道德的课程。重点放在专门为个别学员设计的个人指导和多学科互动上。该计划的质量和有效性是通过我们的学员在1）完成奖学金培训，2）在同行评审期刊和研究报告中发表文章的数量和质量，3）获得研究资金（例如，独立研究奖，K奖或同等职业发展奖，R 01级或同等奖项），以及4）作为医学院教师，在行业或公共卫生部门实现以研究为导向的职业。
