DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests continued funding for a research training program in hematology that has been successful in attracting young scientists and physician-scientists into academic careers in hematology and vascular biology. The program has as its primary objective to prepare MD, MD/PhD, and PhD postdoctoral fellows for productive careers as academic scientists and physician-scientists. The focus of training supported by this grant remains within the scientific discipline of hematology. An evolving feature of the training program is an expanded emphasis to provide training opportunities in translational research. The training will be carried out in an enriched environment of active basic and clinical investigation at an institution that emphasizes the career development and collaborative science. The specific objectives are: (1) To identify and recruit outstanding postdoctoral trainees, inclusive of gender, ethnicity and culture, who wish to obtain comprehensive knowledge of the principles and techniques of basic and translational research related to hematology, blood cells, vascular biology, coagulation, or hematological malignancies; (2) To attract highly motivated scientists and physician-scientists and provide them with comprehensive instruction in the design and implementation of high quality research projects, including participation in cross-disciplinary research teams; (3) To train physician-scientists for academic careers in hematology and related scientific disciplines and prepare them for successful transition to independent investigators; and (4) To expose talented PhD scientists to the field of hematology and train them for careers as independent investigators. Since the last renewal, the training program has undergone a transition to an expanded leadership team and several new initiatives have been instituted. These include the establishment of mentoring committees and individualized development plans for all trainees, an expanded emphasis to provide didactic and mentored training opportunities in translational science, and the implementation of several new strategies to improve diversity among trainees. The rich training environment provided by the diverse faculty, extensive laboratory, clinical, and core facilities, and strong institutional support should ensure continued success in attracting and preparing highly qualified postdoctoral trainees for careers in academic hematology.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请要求继续资助血液学研究培训计划，该计划已成功吸引年轻科学家和医生科学家进入血液学和血管生物学的学术生涯。该计划的主要目标是为MD，MD/PhD和PhD博士后研究员提供学术科学家和医生科学家的生产性职业。该补助金支持的培训重点仍然是血液学科学学科。培训计划的一个不断发展的特点是扩大重点，以提供翻译研究的培训机会。培训将在一个丰富的环境中进行， 在一个强调职业发展和协作科学的机构进行临床研究。具体目标是：（1）确定和招募优秀的博士后学员，包括性别，种族和文化，谁希望获得有关血液学，血细胞，血管生物学，凝血或血液恶性肿瘤的基础和转化研究的原理和技术的全面知识;（2）吸引积极性高的科学家和医生-科学家，并为他们提供设计和实施高质量研究项目的全面指导，包括参与跨学科研究团队;（3）培养医生科学家在血液学和相关科学学科的学术生涯，并为他们成功过渡到独立研究者做好准备;（4）让有才华的博士科学家接触血液学领域，并培养他们成为独立研究者。自上次更新以来，培训计划已经过渡到扩大领导团队，并制定了几项新举措。这些措施包括为所有受训者建立指导委员会和个性化发展计划，扩大重点，提供教学和指导的转化科学培训机会，以及实施几项新战略，以提高受训者的多样性。多样化的教师，广泛的实验室，临床和核心设施，以及强大的机构支持提供了丰富的培训环境，应确保继续成功吸引和 培养高素质的博士后学员从事学术血液学的职业。
