Training in Trauma and Burn Research

 描述(由申请人提供)：这是一份续签拨款申请，旨在为名为“创伤和烧伤研究培训”的博士后T32培训项目提供持续资助，该培训项目目前正在进行14年级。该培训项目的目标是为医生和科学家在创伤科学方面进行临床适用和转化性研究做准备。 该计划向外科实习计划的年轻医生和与创伤、烧伤和危重护理医学相关学科的住院医生征集申请，他们希望进入芝加哥洛约拉大学烧伤和休克创伤研究所(BSTRI)进行为期两年的创伤强化研究培训。医学博士、BSTRI主任、洛约拉烧伤中心主任、洛约拉大学芝加哥分校高级副校长兼健康科学教务长理查德·L·加梅利将继续担任培训补助金的项目主任和首席研究员。培训计划的教职员工由资金充足的基础科学家、临床医生科学家和具有积极研究计划的临床医生组成的多学科小组。教师的兴趣各不相同，但具有很强的互补性，范围从局部损伤反应的检查和调节、潜在分子机制的研究到创伤侮辱后的全身反应分析和临床流行病学结果研究。培训教师作为T32资助学员的主要导师，在基础科学、临床科室和研究机构担任主要和次要职位。这为学员提供了广泛的研究领域可供选择。此外，培训计划提供了在培训期间获得额外研究生学位的独特机会(生物伦理学文学硕士、临床研究方法理学硕士、公共卫生硕士)，这将进一步促进科学事业的发展。T32培训计划目前每年支持两名学员；其他学员由其他来源提供支持，如慈善事业。下一个周期的目标是将该计划扩大到每年四名由T32资助的学员。其中包括我们在地方和国家两级的努力，以及促进在学校、本科生和医学院各级为少数民族青年学生提供教育和指导机会的全面计划。培训计划强调每个学员与他们的导师之间的密切工作关系。个人培训和发展计划为学员的职业发展和培训机会提供便利。培训计划包括密集的实验室研究、研讨会、日记 所有受训者都需要参加俱乐部、补助金撰写培训以及统计学和研究生物伦理学方面的授课课程书面研究提案、正式研究报告和半年度评估。我们的长期目标是增加临床医生和博士科学家的数量，他们有资格和有动力共同努力，解决过渡性创伤研究中的基本问题。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a renewal grant application to provide continued funding for the post-doctoral T32 training program entitled "Training in Trauma and Burn Research", which is currently in year 14. The goal of this training program is to prepare physician-scientists to perform clinically applicable and translational research in trauma science. The program solicits applications from young physicians in surgery residency programs and resident physicians in disciplines related to trauma, burn and critical care medicine, who wish to enter a two-year period of intensive research training in traumatology in the Burn and Shock Trauma Research Institute (BSTRI) at Loyola University Chicago. Richard L. Gamelli, MD, Director of the BSTRI, Chief of the Loyola Burn Center and Senior Vice President and Provost of Health Sciences of Loyola University Chicago, will continue to serve as the Program Director and Principal Investigator of the Training Grant. The training program faculty consists of a multidisciplinary group of well-funded basic scientists, clinician-scientists and clinicians with active research programs. The faculty interests are varied yet highly complementary, and range from the examination and modulation of the local response to injury, the study of the underlying molecular mechanisms to the analyses of systemic responses following traumatic insults and clinical-epidemiological outcomes research. Training faculty who serve as primary mentors for T32-funded trainees hold primary and secondary appointments in basic science and clinical departments and research institutes. This gives trainees a wide range of research areas from which to choose. In addition, the training program provides the unique opportunity to obtain additional graduate degrees while in training (Masters of Arts in Bioethics, Masters of Science in in Clinical Research Methods, Masters of Public Health), which will further enhance scientific career development. The T32 training program currently supports two trainees per year; additional trainees are supported by other sources, such as philanthropy. A goal for the next cycle is to expand the program to four T32 funded trainees per year. A detailed plan for the recruitment of underrepresented minorities, which includes our efforts at local and national levels and a comprehensive plan to promote educational and mentorship opportunities for young minority students at school, undergraduate and medical school levels are provided. The training plan emphasizes a close working relationship between each trainee and their mentor. Individual Training and Development Plans facilitate the trainee's career development and training opportunities. The training plan includes intensive laboratory research, seminars, journal clubs, training in grant writing, and didactic coursework in both statistics and research bioethics Written research proposals, formal research presentations, and semi-annual evaluations are required for all trainees. Our long-term goal is to increase the number of clinician and PhD scientists who are qualified and motivated to work together to address fundamental questions in transitional trauma research.
