The Indiana Cutaneous Biological Research Training Program

描述（由申请人提供）：这是一份来自印第安纳大学医学院（usm）的修订申请，以支持印第安纳皮肤生物学研究培训计划（ICBRTP），该计划将重点培训博士后皮肤生物学家。该计划的目标是在高度互动的基础科学家和临床医生的跨学科环境中培养博士后学员，并为他们在皮肤生物学研究方面的职业做好准备。一组10名经验丰富的资深教师与皮肤相关的研究有悠久的历史已经聚集在一起，作为这个T32培训计划的导师。这个小组与六名初级教师一起作为资源教师创造了一个高效的转化研究环境。该项目的优势包括一名项目主任和两名副项目主任的领导，这三人都在基础科学和临床科学方面具有成熟的管理、培训和研究经验，以及导师的质量、研究环境和皮肤相关研究的多样性，以及执行“从实验室到床边”研究项目的全部现有资源。ICBRTP的导师和资源教师共代表9个独立的临床或基础科学部门，目前每年有大约2700万美元的同行评审直接研究基金。这些导师在培养成功地继续从事学术和研究工作的年轻科学家方面具有丰富的经验。申请2名博士后博士或医学博士培训生，另外一个奖学金职位将由IU皮肤病学部门资助。所有学员将学习科学伦理和转化研究方法。教学课程要求将根据博士后的研究重点进行调整。计划特定的教育/研究活动包括每周一次的皮肤病研究进展会议，基础科学和临床会议，以及参加年度皮肤病研究学会会议。除了研究之外，受训者还将撰写并提交一份拨款提案。项目具体指导委员会由T32项目主管的高级调查员组成，外部咨询委员会由代表其他机构不同培训经验的四名调查员组成，项目评估过程分为四步。ICBRTP将加强国际皮肤病学会对研究人员的教育，使他们能够发现新的诊断工具，并在开发新的更有效的皮肤病治疗方法方面改变治疗模式。！

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a revised application from the Indiana University School of Medicine (IUSM) to support the Indiana Cutaneous Biology Research Training Program (ICBRTP), which will focus on the training of postdoctoral cutaneous biologists. The goal of the proposed program is to produce post-doctoral trainees in an interdisciplinary environment of highly interactive basic scientists and clinicians and prepare them for a career in cutaneous biology research. A group of 10 very experienced senior faculty with a long history of skin-related research have been assembled to serve as preceptors for this T32 training program. This group along with six junior faculty serving as resource faculty have created a highly productive translational research environment. Strengths of the program include the leadership of a Program Director and two Associate Program Directors, all three with established administrative, training, and research experience in both basic and clinical science, and the quality of the preceptors, research environment, and diversity of skin-related research, and a full spectrum of existing resources for performing "bench to bedside" research projects. Preceptors and resource faculty of the ICBRTP represent a total of nine separate clinical or basic science departments and currently have ~ $27 million of peer reviewed direct research funds per year. These preceptors have extensive experience in training young scientists who have successfully continued in academic and research positions. Support is requested for 2 post-doctoral PhD or MD trainees, and an additional fellowship position will be funded by the IU Department of Dermatology. All trainees will take courses in scientific ethics and translational research methods. Didactic coursework requirements will be tailored to the research focus of the post-doctoral fellow. Program-specific educational/research events include a weekly Dermatology Research in Progress meeting, basic science and clinical conferences and attendance at the annual Society for Investigative Dermatology Meeting. In addition to research, trainees will write and present a grant proposal. A program- specific Steering Committee comprising senior investigators who are T32 program directors, External Advisory Committee comprising four investigators who represent diverse training experiences at other institutions, and a four-step program evaluation process are in place. ICBRTP will augment the commitment of the IUSM to educate researchers who will discover new diagnostic tools, and alter therapeutic paradigms in the development of new and more efficacious treatments for skin diseases. !
