Abstract Interdisciplinary research in Immunology, Inflammation and Infectious Disease affects a wide variety of human diseases and has been fostered at the University of Utah via a campus-wide research initiative. In connection with these efforts, the Immunology, Inflammation and Infectious Disease (III) Training Program seeks to bring together faculty and trainees across the University of Utah Health campus to foster collaborative research in basic and translational immunology. This application is the recipient of substantial institutional backing and requests support for 4 pre-doctoral and 2 post-doctoral trainees. The main component of the III Training Program is individualized research training under the guidance of 30 faculty members in 9 basic and clinical departments across campus. Pre-doctoral trainees who have completed their qualifying exam are eligible for up to 2 years of support. Post-doctoral trainees are also eligible for 2 years of support. Both groups are selected by the Steering Committee from a large and highly competitive pool of candidates based on prior research excellence, a research proposal and letters of recommendation. It is anticipated that as part of their normal graduate education, trainees will complete their coursework, participate in seminars and retreats, present their research in departmental settings, write a thesis proposal, perform thesis research, publish results and defend their thesis research. In addition, the Training Program will enhance graduate education through the following activities: 1) a one-month clinical immunology rotation at ARUP, the national pathology reference laboratory affiliated with the University of Utah; 2) formal training in grant-writing, leading to submission of an extramural grant proposal; 3) support for travel to present data at scientific meetings; 4) regular lunchtime discussions of research progress with other Training Program trainees; 5) interaction with invited seminar speakers; 6) annual presentation of research at the III retreat; 7) guidance in the effective utilization of pre-doctoral and post-doctoral Individual Development Plans (IDPs); 8) formal mentoring in the use of biostatistics related to immunological research; and 9) a post-doctoral mentoring committee to provide individualized career guidance. Given the exceptional training track record of our faculty, available resources to support research and robust institutional support, the III Training Program will provide an ideal platform to train the next generation of human disease-focused immunologists.

摘要 免疫学、炎症和传染病的跨学科研究影响着各种各样的人类疾病。 疾病，并已在犹他州大学通过校园范围的研究计划培育。有关 通过这些努力，免疫学、炎症和传染病（III）培训计划旨在 在整个犹他州健康校园的大学教师和学员一起，以促进合作研究， 基础和转化免疫学。该应用程序是大量机构支持的接受者， 请求为4名博士前和2名博士后学员提供支助。第三部分培训的主要内容 该计划是在9个基础和临床领域的30名教师的指导下进行的个性化研究培训 校园里的各个部门完成资格考试的博士预科学员有资格获得 2年的支持。博士后学员也有资格获得2年的支持。这两个组织都 由指导委员会根据以往的经验，从大量竞争激烈的候选人中选出 优秀的研究，研究计划书和推荐信。预计，作为其 正常的研究生教育，受训人员将完成他们的课程，参加研讨会和务虚会， 在部门设置中展示他们的研究，写论文提案，进行论文研究，发表 结果和捍卫他们的论文研究。此外，培训方案将加强研究生教育 通过以下活动：1）在ARUP进行为期一个月的临床免疫学轮换， 附属于犹他州大学的参考实验室; 2）正式的赠款写作培训，导致 提交校外赠款申请; 3）为在科学会议上介绍数据提供差旅支助; 4） 与其他培训计划学员定期午餐讨论研究进展; 5）与 邀请研讨会发言人; 6）每年在第三务虚会上介绍研究成果; 7）指导有效的 利用博士前和博士后个人发展计划; 8）正式指导 使用与免疫学研究有关的生物统计学;以及9）博士后指导委员会， 个性化的职业指导。鉴于我们教师的特殊培训记录，可用资源 为了支持研究和强有力的机构支持，III培训计划将提供一个理想的平台， 培养下一代人类疾病免疫学家。
