Medical Genetics Research Training Grant

描述(申请人提供)：该研究培训计划的主要目标是培养未来的医学遗传学领导者，他们将从各种培训途径中脱颖而出，拥有不同数量的研究经验。许多人将拥有医学博士学位，其他人将获得医学博士学位。接受过儿科学、医学、精神病学、病理学和其他专业领域临床培训的S将有资格获得这笔培训补助金的支持。儿科-遗传学联合住院医生也将在他们的第四年和第五年住院期间获得资助。每个培训名额的资金为5个 寻找一年。针对这些个人的整个培训计划包括一个临床年度，在此期间，住院医师/研究员承担着相当大的临床负担，并完成部分人类遗传学和分子生物学的教学课程工作。第一年由宾夕法尼亚大学医学院和费城儿童医院(CHOP)提供资金，而整个培训计划的研究年份的资金则从这笔培训补助金中寻求。在第二年，医学博士住院医师/研究员完成授课工作并开始研究培训。在第二年和第三年的大部分时间里，通常是第四年，这位研究员基本上100%地致力于在基础科学实验室进行研究。研究机会非常多样化，在宾夕法尼亚大学6个核心部门的43个学院的实验室进行培训。研究领域可能包括那些影响人类遗传学的领域，包括但不限于：分子遗传学、细胞基因组学、生化遗传学、线粒体遗传学、发育生物学、细胞生物学、生物信息学、系统生物学、药物遗传学等。在研究期间，学员还参加研讨会课程、参加期刊俱乐部、研究会议和科室研究务虚会，并开展最低限度的临床活动，不超过5%的努力。此申请表要求提供2-3年研究的培训津贴。医学博士实习生可能需要进一步的研究培训(不在本培训补助金的范围内)，可以通过额外的博士后研究经验或受保护的教员任命并由资深教员提供大量指导来获得。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The major goal of this research training program is to train the future leaders of medical genetics who will emerge from a variety of training pathways with varying amounts of research experience. Many will have M.D. degrees, others will be M.D.-Ph.D.'s with clinical training in Pediatrics, Medicine, Psychiatry, Pathology and other specialty areas will be eligible for support from this training grant. Combined pediatric-genetics residents will also be eligible during their 4th and 5th years of residency. Funding for 5 training slots per year is sought. The overall training program for these individuals consists of one clinical year during which the resident/fellow has a substantial clinical load and fulfills a portion of her/his didactic course work in human genetics and molecular biology. This first year is funded by the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), while funds for the research years of the overall training program are sought from this training grant. During the second year, the M.D. resident/fellow completes didactic course work and begins research training. During most of the second year and all of the third year and often the fourth years, the fellow devotes essentially 100% effort to research in a basic science laboratory. Research opportunities are extremely diverse with training in the laboratories of 43 Faculty from 6 core departments at Penn. Fields of research may encompass those areas that impact human genetics including, but not limited to: molecular genetics, cytogenomics, biochemical genetics, mitochondrial genetics, developmental biology, cellular biology, bioinformatics, systems biology, pharmacogenetics and others. During the research years, the trainee also takes seminar courses, attends journal clubs, research meetings, and departmental research retreats, and carries out minimal clinical activities, not to exceed 5% effort. Training stipends for the 2-3 years of research are requested in this application. The M.D. trainee will likely require further research training (not covered by this training grant), which might be acquired through an additional postdoctoral research experience or a protected faculty appointment with considerable mentoring from a senior faculty member.
