DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is an application for the continuation of the Institutional Training Program in Skeletal, Craniofacial and Oral Biology at the University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine as a T90/R90 program. It is intended to help meet the substantial need for independent scientists trained in research related to improving oral, dental and craniofacial health in the United States. The program has trained and will continue to train dental scholars to meet the growing needs of academic dentistry, who are competent as clinicians and independent scientists, who are able to initiate and maintain funded research programs, who understand multidisciplinary research and who are prepared for the evolution of their research into new directions. Areas of research training include skeletal biology, stem cell biology, regenerative medicine, oral and craniofacial biology and clinical and translational research. The major tracks of the training program are the DMD/PhD (7-8 yrs of training with 5 years of support from this training grant; 4 present trainees; 7 additional trainees requested), PhD (4-5 yrs of training with 3 years of support; 4 present trainees; 5 additional trainees requested), postdoctoral research (3 yrs; 4 present trainees; 6 additional trainees requested) and non-citizen PhD trainees (with DDS degrees) (4-5 years of training with 3-5 years of support; 0 present trainees; 2 additional trainees requested). We will be training individuals with a broad range of backgrounds, including those with BS/BA degrees to those who have completed PhD and/or dental residency training. To provide a solid, common foundation for our scholars/trainees, we have developed Core Activities required of all trainees in all training tracks. In addition to providing important training elements, the Core Activities provide opportunities for both formal and informal interactions between trainees in various disciplines and at various stages in their training. We are introducing several new program features to (i) insure training milestones are achieved, (ii) facilitate preparation of F and K awards by trainees and (iii) better integrate clinical and research training for our DMD/PhDs to enhance transition into an academic career. The Health Center has a dynamic group of faculty in Skeletal, Craniofacial and Oral Biology, with highly successful collaborations among faculty throughout the Schools of Dental Medicine and Medicine. The Biomedical Science PhD program graduate faculty and active institutional research centers and clinical signature programs provide laboratory, translational and patient oriented research opportunities that enable a diversified training environment for the program tracks, allow flexibility for the individual needs of trainees, and ensure successful progress through the tracks. The institution has vigorous trainee recruitment programs; several are directed towards under-represented minority candidates. We will continue to provide training that is tailored to each candidate, while maintaining a focus on skeletal, craniofacial and oral biology through symposia, seminars, courses, clinical research centers and collaborative research activities which are integrated both within individual tracks and amongst all the tracks of the program.

描述（由申请人提供）：这是康涅狄格大学牙科医学学院作为T90/R90计划的骨骼，颅面和口腔生物学的机构培训计划的申请。它旨在帮助满足与改善美国口腔，牙科和颅面健康有关的研究的独立科学家的巨大需求。该计划已经接受了培训，并将继续培训牙科学者，以满足学术牙科的不断增长的需求，这些牙科的需求能够作为临床医生和独立科学家，他们能够启动和维护资助的研究计划，他们了解多学科研究，并为将其研究的发展做好准备。研究培训领域包括骨骼生物学，干细胞生物学，再生医学，口腔和颅面生物学以及临床和转化研究。该培训计划的主要轨道是DMD/PHD（培训的7 - 8年培训，并获得了5年的培训补助金； 4名现任学员；另外7名受训人员），PhD（4 - 5年的培训和3年的培训，有3年的支持； 4名当前的受训者； 5名培训人员；另外5名受训者，请要求其他受训者； 6年受训者； 6岁的受训者； D型受训者； D PHR； D DR PH DR PH DR PH DR PH DR DR；学位）（在3 - 5年的支持下进行了4 - 5年的培训； 0个培训人员；要求另外2名受训者）。我们将向拥有博士学位和/或牙科住院医师培训的人培训具有广泛背景的个人，包括具有BS/BA学位的人。为了为我们的学者/学员提供坚实的共同基础，我们在所有培训轨道上开发了所有受训人员所需的核心活动。除了提供重要的培训元素外，核心活动还为学员在各个学科和培训的各个阶段之间的正式和非正式互动提供了机会。我们正在为（i）获得一些新的计划功能，以确保培训里程碑，（ii）促进受训者促进F和K奖项的准备，（iii）更好地整合DMD/PHD的临床和研究培训，以将过渡到学术生涯。卫生中心拥有一群动态的骨骼，颅面和口腔生物学的教职员工，在整个牙科医学和医学学院之间，在教师之间进行了非常成功的合作。生物医学科学博士课程毕业生和活跃的机构研究中心和临床签名计划提供实验室，转化和患者的研究机会，使计划轨道具有多元化的培训环境，为受训者的个人需求提供灵活性，并确保通过轨道成功取得成功。该机构有剧烈的学员招聘计划；一些针对代表性不足的少数民族候选人。我们将继续提供针对每个候选人进行量身定制的培训，同时通过研讨会，研讨会，课程，临床研究中心和协作研究活动保持着关注骨骼，颅面和口腔生物学，这些研究既集成在单个轨道中，又在该计划的所有轨道中集成。
