Hematology Training Grant

描述（由申请人提供）： 这是贝勒医学院（Baylor College of Medicine）血液学培训补助金更新的修订申请，该补助金已成功运行5年，并已培训或正在培训23名年轻研究人员，其中5名来自代表性不足的少数民族。这些学员共发表了65篇与血液学培训直接相关的论文。我们所有的学员都在他们的生物医学研究生涯中取得了长足的进步，其中一人已成为终身副教授，另外四人有初级教师职位。通过该补助金支持的血液学培训计划（HTP）的总体目标是培养和加强血液学基础和临床研究学科的学员的研究基础。为成人和儿科血液学研究人员提供培训，包括MD，MD/PhD和PhD学员。该研究所为学员提供指导，研究技能和经验，最终成为该领域富有成效和成功的调查人员。该计划的结构，以确保密切的导师从完成高级研究人员在贝勒医学院，并支持初级教师发展自己的导师技能。参与HTP的31位教师导师拥有丰富的教学和培训经验，并真诚致力于培养血液学研究的年轻医生科学家。他们的专业知识涵盖了广泛的血液学研究领域，包括干细胞生物学，血红蛋白功能，铁代谢，血栓形成，中性粒细胞功能，骨髓细胞分化，干细胞移植以及细胞和基因治疗。该计划的重要组成部分是一个结构化的培训计划，包括指导研究，教学计划，并准备拨款写作。PI和联合主任Margaret Goodell、大卫波普拉克和玛莎米姆斯彼此之间有着密切的富有成效的互动历史，并且过去的学员记录良好，确保了基础研究与临床成人和儿科血液学项目的密切互动和整合。血液学培训计划的更新将确保在血液学领域继续培训杰出的医生科学家。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a revised application for a renewal of the Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) Hematology Training Grant that has been successfully running for 5 years and has trained, or is training, 23 young investigators, 5 of whom are from under-represented minorities. These trainees have published a total of 65 papers directly related to their hematology training. All of our trainees have advanced substantially in their biomedical research careers, and one has become a tenured Associate Professor at BCM, and four others have junior faculty positions. The overall goal of the BCM Hematology Training Program (HTP) supported through this Grant is to foster and strengthen the research base for trainees in basic and clinical research disciplines of Hematology. Training is provided to researchers in both adult and pediatric hematology who include MD, MD/PhD and PhD trainees. The BCM HTP provides its trainees with the mentorship, research skills and experience to ultimately become productive and successful investigators in the field. The program is structured to ensure close mentorship from accomplished senior researchers at Baylor College of Medicine, and to support junior faculty to develop their own mentorship skills. The 31 faculty mentors participating in the HTP have vast teaching and training experience and share a sincere commitment to train young physician scientists in hematology research. Their expertise covers a wide range of hematology research areas including stem cell biology, hemoglobin function, iron metabolism, thrombosis, neutrophil function, myeloid cell differentiation, stem cell transplantation and cell and gene therapy. Important components of the BCM HTP are a structured training scheme involving mentored research, a didactic program, and preparation for grant writing. The PI and Co-Directors, Margaret Goodell, David Poplack, and Martha Mims have a history of close productive interaction with each other and a strong record of past trainees, assuring a close interaction and integration of basic research with clinical adult and pediatric hematology programs. Renewal of the Hematology Training Program will ensure continued training of outstanding physician-scientists in hematology at BCM.
