Training for Investigative Dermatology

参见说明）： 《2005年皮肤病负担》（可在http://www.sidnet.org的“计划和服务”下获得） 提交给所有NIH主任，记录了3000多种皮肤病，估计费用为37美元 每年花费10亿美元的医疗服务和生产力损失。美国大学教授协会 皮肤科（APD）和美国皮肤科学会（AAD）已经认识到， 皮肤科目前正吸引着来自美国医学院校的顶尖毕业生，令人担忧的是， 皮肤科学术人才短缺。这个新皮肤科的使命 华盛顿大学的机构T32培训补助金是为了培养下一代独立的 皮肤病学和皮肤生物学的研究人员，因此与NIAMS的培训目标直接一致， 在2007年发表。这一重点使命是培训独立调查人员（而不是更广泛的 在学术界留住学员的使命）是这一新应用程序的许多重要组成部分之一， 不同于华盛顿大学从1962年到2005年的T32项目。 新的培训计划将围绕两个正式的轨道组织：皮肤生物学轨道（SBT）和 临床研究者跟踪（CIT）。SBT为研究员提供了与世界一流的 研究人员使用涵盖生物化学、蛋白质等领域的方法研究皮肤生物学， 化学，蛋白质组学，成像，超微结构，免疫学，微生物学，先天免疫，生物膜生物学， 分子和细胞生物学，移植生物学，基因调控，基因组研究，化学遗传学， 生物材料和更多。CIT侧重于使用流行病学方法进行以患者为导向的研究， 用于皮肤癌、皮肤病、人口遗传学、卫生服务等领域研究的生物统计学 分娩、医学教育和远程皮肤病学。需要为3名博士后培训生提供支持， MD或MD/PhD学位。一个精心设计的计划，招聘，选择和留住受训人员， 介绍了指导计划包括学员和导师的正式书面评估， 这一提议的组成部分。我们已经制定了一个积极的，资金充足的计划，申请池 扩大、征聘和保留合格的少数族裔申请人。同样，一个强有力的计划是在 在华盛顿大学教授研究诚信的地方。 相关性（参见说明）： 该计划强调以道德和科学负责的方式进行研究，并具有 继续致力于吸引代表性不足的少数群体的个人。

See instructions): The Burden of Skin Diseases 2005 (available at http://www.sidnet.org under Programs and Services) was presented to all NIH Directors documenting more than 3000 skin diseases with an estimated cost of $37 billion dollars per year in medical services and lost productivity. The Association of Professors of Dermatology (APD) and the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) have recognized that while dermatology is currently attracting the top graduates from U.S. medical schools, there is a worrisome shortage in the workforce of academic dermatology. The mission of this proposed new Dermatology Institutional T32 Training Grant at the University of Washington is to train the next generation of independent investigators in dermatology and skin biology and is thus directly aligned with the training goals of NIAMS as articulated in 2007. This focused mission to train independent investigators (rather than a more broad mission of retaining trainees in academia) is one of many important components of this new application that differ from a T32 program that existed at the University of Washington from 1962 through 2005. The new Training Program will be organized around two formal tracks: Skin Biology Track (SBT) and Clinical Investigator Track (CIT). The SBT provides the opportunity for fellows to train with world-class investigators as they study skin biology using approaches that span the spectrum of biochemistry, protein chemistry, proteomics, imaging, ultrastructure, immunology, microbiology, innate immunity, biofilm biology, molecular and cell biology, transplantation biology, gene regulation, genomic research, chemical genetics, biomaterials and more. The CIT focuses on patient oriented research using methods of epidemiology and biostatistics for research in areas such as skin cancers, skin diseases, population genetics, health services delivery, medical education and teledermatology. Support is requested for 3 postdoctoral trainees with PhD, MD or MD/PhD degrees. A carefully structured plan for recruitment, selection and retention of trainees is described. A mentoring plan that includes formal written evaluations of both the mentee and the mentor is integral to this proposal. We have developed an aggressive, well funded program for applicant pool expansion, recruitment and retention of well qualified minority applicants. Likewise, a strong program is in place for teaching research integrity at the University of Washington. RELEVANCE (See instructions): The program stresses the conduct of research in an ethical and scientifically responsible manner and has an on-going commitment to attract individuals from under-represented minorities.
