Multidisciplinary Research Training in Pulmonary Medicine

项目摘要 本提案描述了我们在肺科和危重科的科研培训计划 关怀医学。在这个项目中，我们提供了一个多学科的肺部研究方法 以及整合了最先进的基础科学、临床试验和患者结果的医学。 四名博士后研究员(两名医学博士和重症监护医学研究员，两名博士)和 两名研究生将获得两年的研究经费。此外，我们还将 为多元化考生提供短期暑期研究经验。研究将是 辅以学员参加项目范围的研究研讨会、期刊俱乐部和 说教式的课程作业我们相信，这样的计划范围的会议和互动对于 为年轻科学家提供了一个广阔的视角，看待他们自己项目之外的研究， 避免过早的过度专业化和不适当的狭窄研究重点。 课程作业包括一门关于肺部疾病和研究的课程。它还 包括一门研究和生物统计学中负责任行为的必修课程。我们还将 为从事研究工作的学员提供一系列适合他们的课程。这些 包括实验设计、拨款撰写、手稿撰写、人类调查 流行病学方法和职业发展。这些都在我们的研究生课程中提供， 我们基于CTSA的人类调查员计划和其他大学系。 研究导师由一群经验丰富的资深科学家提供。 培养年轻的科学家。该计划的结构也是为了通过以下方式培养教师导师 将初级导师与更资深的导师配对。大约一半的教职员工进行研究 主要累及肺部。其余的人在细胞和分子方面拥有特定的专业知识 经常应用于肺部疾病研究的生物学。相互作用和协同效应 在这个项目的实验室中，增加了丰富和广阔的培训环境。我们的 考虑到我们培训计划的相对年轻，学员们非常成功，包括 在生物医学研究方面获得独立研究资助、教师或行业职位 以及其他著名机构的博士后职位。

Project Summary This proposal describes our research training program in the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine. In this program, we offer a multidisciplinary approach to Pulmonary research and medicine that integrates state of the art basic science, clinical trials and patient outcomes. Four post-doctoral fellows (two MD Pulmonary & Critical Care Medicine Fellows, two PhDs) and two graduate students will be offered two years of research funding. In addition, we will also be offering short term summer research experiences for diversity candidates. Research will be supplemented by trainee participation in program wide research seminars, journal clubs, and didactic coursework. It is our belief that such program wide meetings and interactions are vital to providing young scientists with a broad perspective on research outside their own projects, avoiding early over-specialization and an inappropriately narrow research focus. Course work includes a program specific course on pulmonary disease and research. It also includes a mandatory course in Responsible Conduct in Research and biostatistics. We will also offer a wide range of courses appropriate to trainees embarking on a research career. These include experimental design, grant writing, manuscript writing, human investigations, epidemiological methods and career development. These are offered in our graduate programs, our CTSA based Human Investigators Program and other university departments. Research mentorship is provided by a faculty of seasoned scientists with extensive experience in training young scientists. This program is also structured to develop faculty mentors by pairing junior mentors with more senior mentors. About half the faculty conducts research primarily involving the lung. The remainder have specific areas of expertise in cell and molecular biology that are frequently applied to the study of lung diseases. Interactions and synergy among the laboratories in this program add to the rich and broad training environment. Our trainees have been very successful given the relative youth of our training program including achieving independent research funding, faculty or industry positions in biomedical research and postdoctoral positions at other prestigious institutions.
