Advanced Training in Oral Biology

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请的目的是为我们长期以来非常成功的口腔健康研究培训项目获得支持。我们将利用新的机会，加强我们培养有前途的科学家的传统，使他们成为国家牙科、医学和健康相关研究机构的研究人员。拟议的计划将促进基础和转化研究的跨学科培训机会，以解决口腔健康和疾病，以培养训练有素的最终独立的研究人员骨干。该应用程序促进了UB内几个单位之间的持续合作，包括牙科医学院、医学和生物医学科学学院、工程和应用科学学院、公共卫生和卫生专业学院、布法罗本体学研究中心和罗斯威尔公园癌症研究所（RPCI）。此外，UB的生物信息学和生命科学卓越中心（COEBLS）在为我们的学员提供有趣和新颖的研究机会方面发挥了突出作用。该计划的组织和要求以口腔健康研究为中心，同时利用众多其他跨学科和交叉培训机会。该计划将支持两个培训途径：目标1。针对牙医和非牙医学员的博士（PhD）培训DDS和/或博士研究员的博士后培训，使其成为牙科，口腔和颅面研究的独立研究者。该计划的组织和要求以口腔健康研究为中心，但利用了许多跨学科，跨专业和交叉培训的机会。实施这些目标将使受训者、研究者和研究人员在广泛的学科和培训水平上受益。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this application is to obtain support for our long-standing and extremely successful training program in oral health research. We will take advantage of new opportunities to strengthen our tradition of training promising scientists to become leaders as research faculty in the nation's dental, medical, and health-related research institutions. The proposed program will foster interdisciplinary training opportunities in both basc and translational research that address oral health and diseases in order to produce a cadre of well-trained and eventually independent investigators. This application promotes continuing collaboration between several units within UB, including the Schools of Dental Medicine, Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Engineering and Applied Sciences, and Public Health and Health Professions, the Buffalo Center for Ontological Research, and the Roswell Park Cancer Institute (RPCI). Also, the Center for Excellence in Bioinformatics and Life Sciences (COEBLS) at UB has taken a prominent role in providing interesting and novel research opportunities for our trainees. The organization and requirements of the program center on oral health research, yet take advantage of the numerous other interdisciplinary and cross-training opportunities available. This program will support two training pathways: Aim 1. Doctoral (PhD) training for dentist and non-dentist trainees Aim 2. Post-Doctoral training for DDS and/or PhD fellows to develop as independent investigators in dental, oral, and craniofacial research The organization and requirements of the program center on oral health research, yet take advantage of numerous interdisciplinary, interprofessional, and cross-training opportunities. Implementing these aims will benefit trainees, investigators, and research staff across a broad range of disciplines and levels of training.
