Innovative translational medical nutrition training for non-physician scientists

描述（由申请人提供）：

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In response to PAR-06-554, we propose a novel approach to the [interdisciplinary] training of [physicians] and clinical researchers with a specialty in medical nutrition. [PhD trainees] will be competent to [understand the rationale for clinical diagnosis and treatment required to] devise and conduct translational research in obesity and its comorbidities. [Physician trainees will understand the nutrition science that guides adjuvant therapy recommendations in the prevention and treatment of obesity and its comorbidities]. This training program is predicated on our belief that to be successful in conducting "bench to bedside" translational research one needs to understand and [work collaboratively with experts] at both the "bench top" and at the "bedside".
