DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a competing application for continued support of an NIAID sponsored multi-disciplinary program for "Research Training in Experimental Immunology" at the University of Michigan School of Medicine beginning its 20th year. Faculty preceptors with interests in immunology and immunological mechanisms of disease have been selected from the Departments of Pathology, Internal Medicine, Microbiology and Immunology, Pediatrics, Neurology and Surgery. Our senior preceptors direct active, highly regarded laboratories with exemplary records of securing extramural funding. These preceptors have outstanding records in mentoring graduate students and post-doctoral fellows. In addition, we have added some highly regarded new investigators and have established mechanisms to ensure that these new preceptors have ample guidance in becoming accomplished mentors themselves. The program is directed by Dr. Steven Kunkel who has led the program for the last 10 years. Beginning this year, the co-director will be Dr. Bethany Moore who also serves as the Director of the Immunology Graduate Program at the University of Michigan. Drs. Kunkel and Moore will work closely with the T32 advisory committee and the Immunology graduate student affairs committee to advise trainees, monitor curriculum and resolve any issues that arise. The T32 will continue to sponsor several major activities: 1) a weekly seminar for students and post-doctoral fellows to present journal club or works-in progress, 2) a visiting professor monthly seminar where invited guest speakers present their research and spend a day interacting with program faculty and trainees, 3) research colloquium courses which provide in depth training in experimental immunology and special topics relating to translational immunology and 4) a new "i-club" which will provide additional journal club, career development and networking opportunities for our trainees. In addition, the program provides training in research responsibility and ethics and is committed to continuing to recruit and train talented mentees from underrepresented populations to facilitate the creation of a diverse and talented pool of researchers for the next generation. Support is requested for 6 pre-doctoral and 2 post-doctoral trainees, the same as has been supported previously. This T32 program has been essential to the formation of the Immunology graduate program at the University of Michigan and our success is best measured by the outstanding publication and presentation records of our recent trainees and the excellent post-doctoral and academic positions they earn as they progress.

描述（由申请人提供）：这是一份竞争性申请，旨在继续支持NIAID资助的密歇根大学医学院“实验免疫学研究培训”多学科项目，该项目已进入第20个年头。从病理学、内科、微生物学和免疫学、儿科、神经病学和外科等部门中挑选出对免疫学和疾病免疫机制感兴趣的教师。我们的资深导师指导活跃的、备受推崇的实验室，这些实验室在获得校外资金方面有着堪称典范的记录。这些导师在指导研究生和博士后方面有着出色的成绩。此外，我们增加了一些备受推崇的新研究者，并建立了机制，以确保这些新的导师在成为有成就的导师方面得到充分的指导。该项目由Steven Kunkel博士指导，他在过去的10年里一直领导着这个项目。从今年开始，联合主任将是Bethany Moore博士，她也是密歇根大学免疫学研究生项目的主任。Drs。Kunkel和Moore将与T32咨询委员会和免疫学研究生事务委员会密切合作，为学员提供建议，监督课程并解决出现的任何问题。T32将继续赞助以下几项主要活动：1)每周一次的研讨会，让学生和博士后展示他们的期刊俱乐部或正在进行的作品；2)每月一次的客座教授研讨会，邀请客座演讲者展示他们的研究，并花一天的时间与项目教师和学员互动；3)研究讨论会课程，提供实验免疫学的深入培训和与转化免疫学相关的专题；4)一个新的“i-club”，将提供额外的期刊俱乐部。为学员提供职业发展和社交机会。此外，该项目还提供研究责任和道德方面的培训，并致力于继续从代表性不足的人群中招募和培训有才华的学员，以促进为下一代建立一个多样化和有才华的研究人员队伍。申请资助博士预科生6人，博士后培养生2人，与原资助项目相同。这个T32项目对密歇根大学免疫学研究生项目的形成至关重要，我们的成功最好的衡量标准是我们最近的学员出色的出版和演讲记录，以及他们在进步中获得的优秀博士后和学术职位。
