 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The UAB Training Program in Rheumatic and Musculoskeletal Disease Research (Director: S. L. Bridges, Jr.) builds on established strengths in adult and pediatric rheumatology, immunology, musculoskeletal medicine, and clinical/translational investigation. To provide a vibrant and effective interdisciplinary training environment, this program brings together the Divisions of Clinical Immunology and Rheumatology and Pediatric Rheumatology, the Comprehensive Arthritis, Musculoskeletal, Bone, and Autoimmunity Center (CAMBAC), and the Center for Outcomes and Effectiveness Research and Education (COERE). These units enable an integrated, interwoven fabric of collaborative science, which ranges from fundamental molecular discovery to applied clinical and translational research. This training program also builds on trans-departmental initiatives in autoimmunity and inflammation, genetics, and state of the art translational clinical and outcomes research. It incorporates an established faculty committed to training in the rheumatic diseases. There is also the explicit effort to incorporate young faculty to further strengthen the outstandin mentoring environment and to promote development of all phases of this program. An effective interdisciplinary training program requires faculty with collaborative and synergistic scientific interests and projects, as well as systematic coordination of training opportunities. The collaborative environment at UAB, embodied by the centers, programs, and departments in this application, provides a strong research foundation. The committed training environment of the thematically organized Graduate Biomedical Sciences program and an outstanding Office of Postdoctoral Education, provide an ideal setting for the implementation of training in interdisciplinary rheumatic and musculoskeletal disease research. Required coursework will be incorporated into the individual development plan (IDP) of each trainee, which will be augmented by a broad interdisciplinary enrichment program. Leadership will be provided by an Executive Committee and the overall performance of the Program will be evaluated by the Research Training Program Internal Advisory Committee and by an External Advisory Committee. To provide rigorous and timely feedback to both trainees and mentors, formal assessment of the Research Training Program will be performed. A series of benchmarks for progress will be formulated for each trainee and mentor and reviewed on a semi-annual basis. The members of the UAB training faculty are fully committed to continuing to provide mentorship, support, and guidance to young investigators to help them develop the tools and skills necessary to advance the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases.

 描述（由应用提供）：风湿性和肌肉骨骼疾病研究的UAB培训计划（主任：S。L. Bridges，Jr。）建立在成人和小儿风湿病，免疫学，念珠菌骨骼医学以及临床/转化投资的既定优势。提供充满活力有效的跨学科培训 环境，该计划汇集了临床免疫学，风湿病学和小儿风湿病学，全面的关节炎，肌肉骨骼，骨骼和自身免疫中心（CAMBAC）以及成果和有效性研究与教育的中心（COERE）。这些单元实现了一种综合的，交织的协作科学结构，范围从基本分子发现到应用临床和转化研究。该培训计划还基于自身免疫和感染，遗传学以及最新技术的跨部门倡议转化为临床和结果研究。它结合了致力于风湿病培训的既定教师。还有明确的努力来纳入年轻的教职员工，以进一步增强杰出的心理环境并促进该计划的所有阶段的发展。一个有效的跨学科培训计划要求教师具有协作和协同的科学利益和项目，以及对培训机会的系统协调。在本应用程序中的中心，计划和部门体现的UAB的协作环境提供了强大的研究基础。该理论组织的培训环境组织了研究生生物医学科学计划和博士后教育的杰出办公室，为实施跨学科风湿和肌肉骨骼疾病研究的培训提供了理想的环境。所需的课程将纳入每个学员的个人发展计划（IDP）中，该计划将通过广泛的跨学科丰富计划来增强。领导层将由执行委员会提供，该计划的整体绩效将由研究培训计划内部咨询委员会和外部咨询委员会评估。为了向受训者和导师提供严格和及时的反馈，将对研究培训计划进行正式评估。每位实习生和导师将制定一系列进度基准，并半年审查。 UAB培训学院的成员完全致力于继续向年轻调查人员提供指导，支持和指导，以帮助他们开发促进风湿性和肌肉骨骼疾病的诊断，治疗和预防所需的工具和技能。
