 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Columbia University Training Program in Lung Science The purpose of this training program in pulmonary science is to provide an opportunity to promising post-doctoral individuals of exceptional quality to train in careers in pulmonary research. The program is limited to applicants who hold the MD, PhD or MD/PhD degrees and have a strong interest in research. Though this training grant is in its first funding cycle, it ha, nevertheless, an excellent training record. The central features of the Program include intensive research with participating faculty members and didactic exposure to multiple courses in basic and translational science in pulmonology. Research areas span a wide range of pulmonary disciplines with centers of excellence in Acute Lung Injury (ALI), Lung Development, Asthma/COPD and Lung Vascular Biology. Expertise in biochemistry, cell biology, molecular biology, mouse genetics, biomechanics, and physiology are all well represented by the faculty. Highly experienced investigators provide expertise to fellows in a wide variety of subspecialties, including ALI, Infection and Asthma/COPD. Research facilities are mainly centered in the Pulmonary Division of the Department of Medicine at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University. Participating mentors outside the Division extend opportunities for training to laboratories in the Departments of Physiology and Biophysics, Pathology and Microbiology. Trainees are selected from a very competitive pool of applicants after a thorough review of their credentials and interviews with the members of the Executive Committee of the Program. Fewer than 2% of applicants are selected. All trainees thus far have gone on to academic careers in pulmonology.

 描述（由申请人提供）：哥伦比亚大学肺科学培训计划肺科学培训计划的目的是提供一个机会，有前途的博士后个人的特殊素质，在肺研究的职业培训。该计划仅限于持有MD，PhD或MD/PhD学位并对研究有浓厚兴趣的申请人。虽然这一培训补助金尚处于第一个供资周期，但它的培训记录极佳。该计划的中心特点包括与参与教师的深入研究和教学接触到基础和转化科学在肺病学的多个课程。研究领域涵盖广泛的肺学科，在急性肺损伤（ALI），肺发育，哮喘/COPD和肺血管生物学方面拥有卓越的中心。生物化学，细胞生物学，分子生物学，小鼠遗传学，生物力学和生理学方面的专业知识都很好地代表了教师。经验丰富的研究人员为研究员提供各种亚专业的专业知识，包括ALI，感染和哮喘/COPD。研究机构主要集中在哥伦比亚大学内科和外科医生学院医学系肺部分部。该司以外的参与导师将培训机会扩大到生理学和生物物理学系、病理学系和微生物学系的实验室。学员是从一个非常有竞争力的申请人池中挑选出来的，经过对他们的证书进行全面审查，并与该计划执行委员会成员进行面试。只有不到2%的申请人被选中。到目前为止，所有受训人员都从事了肺病学的学术工作。
