Hematology Training Grant

描述(由申请人提供)： 这是贝勒医学院(BCM)血液学培训助学金的修订申请，该助学金已经成功运行了5年，已经培训或正在培训23名年轻研究人员，其中5人来自代表性不足的少数民族。这些学员共发表了65篇与他们的血液学培训直接相关的论文。我们所有的实习生在他们的生物医学研究生涯中都有了很大的进步，其中一人已经成为BCM的终身副教授，另外四人拥有初级教职。通过该基金支持的BCM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受训者的研究基础。为成人和儿童血液学研究人员提供培训，其中包括医学博士、医学博士和博士实习生。BCM HTP为学员提供指导、研究技能和经验，最终成为该领域多产和成功的调查人员。该计划的结构是为了确保贝勒医学院有经验的高级研究人员的密切指导，并支持初级教师发展自己的指导技能。参加HTP的31名教师导师拥有丰富的教学和培训经验，并真诚地致力于培养年轻的内科科学家进行血液学研究。他们的专业知识涵盖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、髓细胞分化、干细胞移植以及细胞和基因治疗。BCM HTP的重要组成部分是一个结构化的培训计划，包括有指导的研究、教学计划和编写赠款的准备。PI和联席主任玛格丽特·古德尔、David Poplack和Martha Mims有着彼此密切的生产性互动的历史，以及过去受训人员的良好记录，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BCM继续培训杰出的血液学内科科学家。

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.
