Academic Rheumatology and Clinical Immunology

描述（由申请人提供）：在UCSF的学术流变学和临床免疫学培训计划的总体目标是提供先进的研究培训，以符合条件的个人与MD，MD/博士，或博士学位谁计划追求研究事业有关的风湿和免疫介导的疾病。该计划结合了广泛的研究领域，优秀的研究导师和高级培训，为学员提供了一个学习最先进的方法和技术的环境;如何深入调查问题;什么是质量科学;最新的科学进展， 他们的研究领域;以及对研究道德行为的理解和尊重。该计划强调将研究发现转化为改善风湿性疾病的识别，治疗和交付的方法。该培训计划利用莫菲特-朗大学医院、旧金山弗朗西斯科总医院和旧金山弗朗西斯科VA医疗中心的流变学部门的资源，并整合了UCSF儿科流变学部门，以支持成人和儿科流变学/免疫学的培训。该计划还利用UCSF免疫学计划的优势，为学员提供接触领先的免疫学研究人员的机会，并在高度协作的环境中提供广泛的研究和培训机会。对于目前的更新，该计划增加了新的教师，包括几个参与转化研究，进一步强调了该计划对疾病相关研究的重视，并进一步增加了为整个UCSF系统的学员提供的转化研究培训的各种机会，包括流变学计划。三十多年来，这个T32培训计划结合了基础生物医学研究，卫生服务研究/成果研究，风湿性疾病遗传流行病学研究和临床研究的优势。最近，该计划增加了新的研究项目和参与转化研究的研究导师。通过流变学课程，这些课程在UCSF的整合为教师和学员之间的合作创造了一个出色的环境。这项培训补助金支持六名高素质的受训人员通过两三年的严格科学培训，目的是使他们在以后的职业生涯中成功地致力于风湿病和免疫疾病的研究。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall goal of the Academic Rheumatology and Clinical Immunology Training Program at UCSF is to provide advanced research training to qualified individuals with MD, MD/PhD, or PhD degrees who plan to pursue research careers related to the rheumatic and immune-mediated diseases. This program combines a broad array of research areas, outstanding research mentors, and advanced training that provides trainees with an environment in which they can learn state-of-the-art methods and techniques; how to investigate a problem in depth; what constitutes quality science; the latest scientific advances in their field of study; and understanding of and respect for the ethical conduct of research. The program emphasizes approaches to translating research discoveries into improved recognition, treatment and delivery of the rheumatic diseases. This training program takes advantage of the resources of the Rheumatology Divisions at Moffitt-Long University Hospital, San Francisco General Hospital, and the San Francisco VA Medical Center and integrates the UCSF Division of Pediatric Rheumatology to support training in both adult and pediatric rheumatology/immunology. The program also draws upon the strength of the UCSF Immunology Program to provide trainees with access to leading immunology researchers and a broad range of research and training opportunities in a highly collaborative environment. For the current renewal, the program has added new faculty, including several involved in translational research, further emphasizing the emphasis on disease-related research by the program and further increasing the diverse opportunities for translational research training that exist for trainees across the UCSF system, including the Rheumatology Program. For over three decades, this T32 training program has combined strength in basic biomedical research, health services research/outcomes research, research in genetic epidemiology of rheumatic diseases and in clinical research. More recently, the program has added new research programs and research mentors involved in translational research. This integration of these programs at UCSF through the Rheumatology Program creates an outstanding environment for collaboration among faculty and trainees. This training grant supports six highly qualified trainees through two or three years of rigorous scientific training, with the objective that they will successfully devoe their subsequent careers to the study of the rheumatic and immunologic diseases.
