1 PROJECT SUMMARY / ABSTRACT 2 3 There is a drastic need to devise better approaches to prevent, treat, and ultimately reverse diabetes, which 4 requires constant training of skilled cohorts of investigators. The new Diabetes Research Training Program at 5 the University of Iowa is positioned to mentor and launch the next generation of investigators who will address 6 this critical need and focus their scientific efforts on diabetes. We are seeking support for 6 postdoctoral 7 positions. Both physician and PhD scientists will be trained and most will be appointed to the program for 2 8 years. There exist no other diabetes research training opportunities in the state. The program is built on the 9 myriad strengths of the University of Iowa Fraternal Order of Eagles Diabetes Research Center (FOEDRC), 10 which is driving innovative strategies aimed at further understanding the pathophysiology of diabetes and its 11 complications and at devising novel preventative and curative strategies. Training in basic and clinical scientific 12 investigation will be backed by a core curriculum in diabetes, metabolism, grant writing, and research ethics. 13 Trainees involved in clinical and/or translational diabetes research will enroll and complete a Master of Science 14 in Translational Biomedicine. Trainees will receive tailored career mentoring to ensure a successful transition to 15 the next stage of their career. The Center is infused with an integrative spirit, and synergistic scientific 16 collaborations across scientific realms will be promoted. Mentored research opportunities available in the 17 Program span basic and mechanistic investigation across a very broad range of model organisms to 18 translational studies in humans. The Program mentors comprise 37 diverse but interactive FOEDRC faculty 19 with vigorous diabetes research programs, stable extramural funding, robust training records. They span 8 20 departments and 9 clinical divisions. Training will take advantage of existing synergies with collaborating 21 centers. Recruitment of outstanding trainees will be secured by the broad reach of the FOEDRC. Qualified 22 physician scientist trainees will be recruited from the Physician Scientist Training Pathway and from allied 23 clinical fellowship training programs in Pediatrics and Internal Medicine. PhD scientist trainees will be selected 24 from national pools recruited into Program mentors labs. The training program will be administered through the 25 FOEDRC, and will be overseen by an executive committee comprising 2 co-principal investigators and 4 co- 26 directors, all of whom are seasoned investigators with uncompromising commitment to mentoring trainees.

1 项目概要/摘要 2 3 迫切需要设计更好的方法来预防、治疗并最终逆转糖尿病，这 4 需要对熟练的调查人员队伍进行持续培训。新的糖尿病研究培训计划 5 爱荷华大学致力于指导和培养下一代研究人员，他们将解决 6 这一迫切需求并将科学努力集中在糖尿病上。我们正在寻求6名博士后的支持 7 个职位。医生和博士科学家都将接受培训，大多数人将被任命参加该计划 2 年 8年。该州没有其他糖尿病研究培训机会。该程序建立在 爱荷华大学鹰兄弟会糖尿病研究中心 (FOEDRC) 的 9 项众多优势， 10 正在推动旨在进一步了解糖尿病及其病理生理学的创新策略 11 种并发症并制定新的预防和治疗策略。基础和临床科学培训 12 调查将得到糖尿病、新陈代谢、资助写作和研究伦理方面的核心课程的支持。 13 名参与临床和/或转化糖尿病研究的学员将注册并完成理学硕士学位 转化生物医学第 14 位。学员将获得量身定制的职业指导，以确保成功过渡到 15 他们职业生涯的下一阶段。该中心充满了综合精神和协同科学 将促进16个跨科学领域的合作。指导研究机会 17 计划涵盖非常广泛的模型生物体的基础和机制研究，以 18 项人类转化研究。该项目导师由 37 名多元化但互动的 FOEDRC 教员组成 19 拥有活跃的糖尿病研究项目、稳定的校外资金、良好的培训记录。他们跨越8个 20个科室、9个临床科室。培训将利用现有的协作优势 21个中心。 FOEDRC 的广泛影响力将确保优秀学员的招募。合格的 将从医师科学家培训途径和联盟招募 22 名医师科学家实习生 23 个儿科和内科临床专科培训项目。将选拔博士科学家实习生 24 名来自国家人才库的人员被招募到项目导师实验室。培训计划将通过 25 FOEDRC，并将由执行委员会监督，该执行委员会由 2 名联合首席研究员和 4 名联合研究员组成。 26 名主管，全部都是经验丰富的调查员，坚定不移地致力于指导学员。
