 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The explosion of new knowledge in genomics, cell biology and biomedical engineering technology is ripe for translation into new orthopaedic applications for improving the diagnosis and management of patients with musculoskeletal disorders. Orthopaedic research programs have been slow to capitalize on this opportunity because of inherent structural impediments in this discipline, which have increasingly distanced orthopaedic surgeons and basic scientists in the pursuit of translational research projects. In thi application, we propose a new paradigm for training musculoskeletal scientists in an academic setting, which is modeled after the proven, team science approach used by pharmaceutical companies. The Training in Orthopaedic Team Science (TOTS) program will sponsor the pursuit of well circumscribed, translational research projects by discovery teams composed of orthopaedic residents, post-doctoral Ph.D. fellows, medical students and faculty preceptors. Trainees will complete a Core Curriculum designed to provide a common grounding in musculoskeletal pathobiology and fundamentals in clinical research execution. Both research and didactic phases of the learning experience will occur concurrently by the trainees to ensure constant interaction between basic and clinical team members. An Enrichment Program will catalyze interactions between trainees and faculty and provide valuable career development training. The TOTS Steering Committee will oversee the project and team selection process, and evaluate the program's performance using tools for assessing short and long-term measures. An Internal Oversight Committee will provide independent, ongoing evaluation of the program and will coordinate feedback from trainees, training program faculty, and an External Advisory Committee. Successful implementation of the TOTS program is expected to produce musculoskeletal scientists who will enter the workforce with the requisite experience in translational research and leadership training to move discoveries effectively between the bench and bedside.

 描述（由申请人提供）：基因组学、细胞生物学和生物医学工程技术的新知识的爆发已经成熟，可以转化为新的骨科应用，以改善肌肉骨骼疾病患者的诊断和管理。由于该学科固有的结构性障碍，骨科研究项目在利用这一机会方面进展缓慢，这使得骨科外科医生和基础科学家在追求转化研究项目时的距离越来越远。在此应用中，我们提出了一种在学术环境中培训肌肉骨骼科学家的新范例，该范例以制药公司使用的经过验证的团队科学方法为模型。骨科团队科学培训 (TOTS) 计划将资助由骨科住院医师、博士后博士生组成的发现团队开展明确的转化性研究项目。研究员、医学生和教师导师。学员将完成核心课程，旨在提供肌肉骨骼病理学的共同基础和临床研究执行的基础知识。学习体验的研究和教学阶段将由学员同时进行，以确保基础团队成员和临床团队成员之间不断互动。丰富计划将促进学员和教师之间的互动，并提供有价值的职业发展培训。 TOTS 指导委员会将监督项目和团队选择过程，并使用评估短期和长期措施的工具来评估计划的绩效。内部监督委员会将为该计划提供独立、持续的评估，并将协调来自学员、培训计划教师和外部咨询委员会的反馈。 TOTS 计划的成功实施预计将培养出肌肉骨骼科学家，他们将在进入劳动力市场时具备转化研究和领导力培训方面的必要经验，以便在实验室和临床之间有效地推动发现。
