项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed training program will provide predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees with a solid academic background in immunology with emphasis on multi disciplinary approaches to study common mechanisms of inflammation. Training will include relevant course work, regularly scheduled seminars and journal clubs, and rigorous laboratory training with the goal of preparing our trainees for careers in research related to the goals of this program. Boston University has an outstanding group of faculty with long standing interests in inflammatory disorders who are members of the Boston University Training Program in Inflammatory Disorders (BU-TPID). In addition, recent recruitment efforts have resulted in the formation of a critical mass of established investigators and accordingly this application proposes to establish an integrated training program for predoctoral students and postdoctoral fellows in inflammatory disorders. In addition to their common research interests, many of these faculties already have substantial evidence for collaborative interactions including NIH support. Faculty research interests encompass three broad research areas including 1) Pathogen induced inflammation; 2) Chronic non-communicable inflammatory disorders; and 3) Therapeutics and preventative strategies. The BU-TPID Training Faculty all are current NIH grant recipients with funding from 10 NIH Institutes, and who, as a group have had substantial training history. As a whole this group enjoys national and international recognition in their respective fields. As part of this training grant the Core training faculty will also be involved in mentoring additional junior faculty members. The BU-TPID faculty represent a broad range of departmental affiliations, including the Departments of Medicine, Microbiology, Pathology, Physiology and Biophysics at the Boston University School of Medicine, the Department of Environmental Health at the Boston University School of Public Health, the Department of Oral Biology and Peridontology at the School of Dental Medicine and the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the Boston University College of Engineering. The major goals of the program will be to 1) Recruit and enroll students of the highest quality, including underrepresented minorities; 2) Provide these trainees with a multidisciplinary background in inflammatory disorders coupled with intensive laboratory training in a particular research topic; 3) To teach the trainees critical thinking skills and how to ask relevant and feasible research questions; 4) To instill these trainees with a sense of ethical behavior; 5) To help develop effective written and oral communication skills among the trainees; 6) To facilitate collaborative interactions among both trainees and faculty of the training program and 7) To mentor Junior faculty members in pre and post doctoral training.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的培训计划将为博士学位和博士后学员提供免疫学方面的扎实学术背景，重点是研究多学科方法来研究常见的炎症机制。培训将包括相关的课程工作，定期安排的研讨会和期刊俱乐部以及严格的实验室培训，目的是为我们的学员准备与该计划目标有关的研究。波士顿大学拥有一群杰出的教职员工，对炎症性疾病的兴趣长期存在，他们是波士顿大学炎症性疾病培训计划（BU-TPID）的成员。此外，最近的招聘工作导致成立了批判性的研究人员，因此本申请提议为炎症性疾病中的专业学生和博士后研究员建立综合培训计划。除了他们的共同研究兴趣外，这些学院中的许多人还为包括NIH支持在内的协作互动提供了大量证据。教师研究的兴趣包括三个广泛的研究领域，包括1）病原体引起的炎症； 2）慢性非传染性炎症性疾病； 3）治疗和预防策略。 BU-TPID培训教师都是现任NIH赠款的获得者，并获得了10家NIH机构的资金，并且作为一个小组的培训历史。总体而言，这个小组在各自的领域都享有国家和国际认可。作为这项培训的一部分，核心培训教师还将参与指导其他初级教师。 BU-TPID教师代表了一系列部门分支机构，包括波士顿大学医学院，波士顿大学公共卫生学院的波士顿大学医学院，波士顿大学公共卫生学院，牙科医学和工程大学的牙科医学学院，波士顿大学公共卫生学院，波士顿大学公共卫生学院，波士顿大学公共卫生学院，波士顿大学公共卫生学院，波士顿大学公共卫生学院环境卫生学院，包括医学和生物学学院。该计划的主要目标是1）招募和入学最高质量的学生，包括代表性不足的少数民族； 2）为这些受训者提供炎症性疾病的多学科背景，并在特定研究主题中进行强化实验室培训； 3）教学员批判性思维技能以及如何提出相关和可行的研究问题； 4）以道德行为感灌输这些受训者； 5）帮助发展受训者的有效书面和口头沟通技巧； 6）促进培训计划的学员和教职员工之间的合作互动和7）在博士前和博士后培训中指导初级教师。
