DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This interdisciplinary post-doctoral training program will provide intensive, structured translational research training in Alzheimer's disease (AD) for a new cadre of talented basic PhD, clinical PhD, and physician scientists. Leveraging the existing infrastructure and research strengths of the NIA-funded Boston University Alzheimer's Disease Center and affiliated faculty, the program will eliminate barriers in communication, knowledge, and collaboration between basic and clinical scientists and train investigators to cross disciplinary boundaries at an early and formative period in their professional development. Through individualized and group didactics, the fellowship program will provide (1) integrated knowledge in the basic and clinical fundamentals of AD, focusing on environmental and genetic risk factors, prevention, mechanistic pathways, biomarkers, diagnostics, and therapeutics of AD, (2) training in essential research skills (e.g., conceptualization, development, and implementation of research studies, and creativity in developing new research directions), (3) training in critical professional skills for success in academic medicine (e.g., understanding available funding mechanisms and development of grant writing skills, oral presentation skills, and manuscript writing abilities), (4) training in the responsible conduct of research, emphasizing both animal and human subjects, and (5) a high quality jointly-mentored, interdisciplinary research experience that synthesizes the trainee's knowledge base, research and professional skill set, and appreciation of responsible conduct of research, and prepares the trainee for independence as an investigator. Trainees completing the program will be well-positioned for academic success in both conducting and securing funding for original research in AD. As a consequence, the program will fill an important need for an increased number of high quality investigators who are well equipped to advance the field of AD prevention, diagnostics, and therapeutics.

描述（由申请人提供）：这项跨学科的博士后培训计划将为阿尔茨海默氏病（AD）提供深入的，结构化的转化研究培训，为新的才华横溢的基本博士学位，临床博士和医师科学家提供。该计划利用NIA资助的波士顿大学阿尔茨海默氏病中心和附属学院的现有基础设施和研究优势，该计划将消除基础和临床科学家的沟通，知识和合作障碍，并在早期和形成性的职业发展中进行跨学科界限之间的跨学科界限。 Through individualized and group didactics, the fellowship program will provide (1) integrated knowledge in the basic and clinical fundamentals of AD, focusing on environmental and genetic risk factors, prevention, mechanistic pathways, biomarkers, diagnostics, and therapeutics of AD, (2) training in essential research skills (e.g., conceptualization, development, and implementation of research studies, and creativity in developing new research directions), (3) training in critical professional skills for success in学术医学（例如，了解可用的资助机制和赠款写作技巧，口头表现能力和手稿写作能力的发展），（4）在负责任的研究中进行培训，强调动物和人类受试者，以及（5）高质量的共同致力于的，跨学科的研究经验，综合了培训者的知识基础，研究和专业的研究人员，并构成了培训的培训，并准备了培训，并准备了培训，并准备了培训，并准备了培训，并准备工作，并准备了培训，并准备了培训。完成该计划的学员将在进行和获得AD原始研究资金方面的学术成功方面具有很好的态度。结果，该计划将满足越来越多的高质量研究人员的重要需求，这些调查员有能力提高预防广告，诊断和治疗学领域。
