Training Program in Hematology

描述（由申请人提供）：血液学培训计划的主要目标，将在2014年完成其第30年的资助，是培养医学博士，医学博士/博士和博士博士后研究员感兴趣的成人血液学的职业生涯在学术医学和生物医学研究。约翰霍普金斯血液学研究员，这T32的主要基板，良性和恶性血液学服务轮换，但不轮换任何实体瘤轮换。因此，拟议的培训计划的目的是准备合格的个人与医学博士和/或博士学位的研究生涯在成人血液学领域。培训计划由资金充足和经验丰富的研究人员组成，其中大多数人在造血和干细胞生物学，贫血，血管生物学，骨髓衰竭状态和骨髓增生性疾病方面的研究得到国际认可。培训是通过一个优秀的研究环境与国家的最先进的研究设施，优秀的教师导师，并在骨髓移植和干细胞生物学现有的计划项目赠款增强。尽管全国的趋势远离单板血液学奖学金计划，约翰霍普金斯继续吸引优秀的医学博士和医学博士/博士候选人单板血液学培训，并准备他们的职业生涯在生物医学研究。该培训方案的具体目标是：1）提供与血液学相关的各种领域的研究培训机会，包括良性和恶性造血，骨髓衰竭疾病，骨髓移植，干细胞生物学，免疫学，遗传学，血管生物学和骨髓增生性/骨髓增生异常综合征2）提供与临床相关的结构化课程和研讨会的机会，与血液学相关的转化和基础研究，并提供撰写资助金、撰写手稿、公开演讲和生物统计学方面的指导机会3）允许小组指导和仔细监测学员的进展以及培训计划的总体成功4）解决成人血液学家在追求学术血液学职业生涯方面的严重短缺问题

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The primary objective of the Training Program in Hematology, which will complete its 30th year of funding in 2014, is to train MD, MD/PhD, and PhD postdoctoral fellows interested in adult hematology for careers in academic medicine and biomedical research. Johns Hopkins hematology fellows, the major substrate for this T32, rotate on benign and malignant hematology services but do not rotate on any solid tumor rotations. Thus, the purpose of the proposed training program is to prepare qualified individuals with an MD and/or PhD degree for a research career in the field of adult hematology. The training program consists of well-funded and highly experienced investigators, most of who are internationally recognized for their research pertaining to hematopoiesis and stem cell biology, anemias, vascular biology, bone marrow failure states and myeloproliferative diseases. Training is enhanced by an outstanding research environment with state-of-the-art research facilities, outstanding faculty mentors, and existing program project grants on bone marrow transplantation and stem cell biology. Despite a national trend away from single board hematology fellowship programs, Johns Hopkins continues to attract outstanding MD and MD/PhD candidate for single board hematology training and prepares them for careers in biomedical research. Specific aims are of this training program are: 1) to provide research training opportunities in a variety of areas pertaining to hematology including benign and malignant hematopoiesis, bone marrow failure disorders, bone marrow transplantation, stem cell biology, immunology, genetics, vascular biology, and myeloproliferative/myelodysplastic syndromes 2) to provide the opportunity for structured coursework and seminars pertaining to clinical, translational and basic research pertaining to hematology, and to provide opportunities for instruction in grant writing, manuscript writing, public speaking and biostatistics 3) to allo for group mentoring and careful monitoring of the trainees' progress and the overall success of the training program 4) to address the critical shortage of adult hematologists in pursuing careers in academic hematology
