Abstract The proposed program is designed to train postdoctoral researchers in biomedical research in the area of rheumatic diseases. We are requesting 3 postdoctoral training slots (for MD, MD/PhD, MD/MPH, and/or PhD researchers in bench laboratory or clinical-translational investigation), and 2 slots for predoctoral students (for dual MD/PhD and/or single PhD students, all to be trained in basic-translational research in the UCSD/La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology (LJI) Biomedical sciences Program in Immunology). The training program will consist of a research experience typically of 24 months, and up to 36 months. Training is under close supervision of mentors collaboratively working on immunologic, molecular biologic, biochemical, and/or epidemiologic, health services, genetic, bioinformatic, and computational biologic problems relevant to the rheumatic diseases. Our emphasis is on recruiting and training new independent researchers to generate novel translational approaches and targeted therapies to rheumatic diseases, and to contribute to the pipeline of new leaders in Rheumatology research. Development of creative thinking, publication and presentation skills, along with inter-disciplinary team mentoring, and developing and improving faculty mentoring skills, are major features of the program. We will mesh complementary expertise and resources of more than one preceptor, tailored to individual trainees and research projects. All trainees are required to take courses in scientific ethics and scientific research methodology appropriate to their training and development. Other formal academic course work is encouraged for those carrying out basic research. MD trainees without an advanced degree in clinical research methodology are offered coursework to obtain a Master's Degree in Clinical Research (in the UCSD CTSA U54) or an MPH from the UCSD Department of Epidemiology. To help foster longstanding career commitment to research in subjects relevant to rheumatic diseases, all trainees will participate in Rheumatology research community-building, and San Diego community outreach. Non-MD trainees will take the medical school preclinical Rheumatology course, which includes encounters with patients. Trainees will be chosen on the basis of their prior academic performance, research career potential and experience, publications, interviews, and recommendations from supervisors. Preference is given to those with acknowledged research interests in rheumatologic and immunologic diseases, and demonstrated capacities in research. To address unmet needs, we will emphasize recruiting outstanding physician, MSTP, and URM student candidates. The primary training unit is the UCSD Rheumatology, Allergy and Immunology Division, UCSD. Additional training sites include UCSD and VA hospitals and clinics, the UCSD CTSA, and other UCSD Medicine Divisions and Departments, and labs at LJI and Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute. Program graduates will be primed to compete for academic positions as independent investigators in medical schools or research institutes, or as research scientists in industry.

摘要 该计划旨在培养该地区生物医学研究的博士后研究人员 风湿性疾病。我们正在申请3个博士后培训名额（MD，MD/PhD，MD/MPH和/或 实验室或临床转化研究的博士研究人员），以及2个博士前学生的名额 (for双MD/博士和/或单博士生，所有人都将在UCSD/LA进行基础转化研究培训 Jolla过敏和免疫学研究所（LJI）免疫学生物医学科学计划）。培训 该计划将包括一个研究经验，通常为24个月，最多36个月。培训在 密切监督在免疫学、分子生物学、生物化学和/或 流行病学，卫生服务，遗传学，生物信息学和计算生物学问题， 风湿性疾病我们的重点是招募和培训新的独立研究人员， 新的翻译方法和风湿性疾病的靶向治疗，并有助于管道 流变学研究的新领导者发展创造性思维、出版和展示 技能，沿着跨学科团队指导，以及发展和提高教师指导技能， 是该计划的主要特点。我们将整合一个以上的互补专业知识和资源， 导师，为个别学员和研究项目量身定制。所有学员均须修读 科学道德和科学研究方法适合他们的培训和发展。其他 鼓励从事基础研究的人参加正式的学术课程。MD学员没有 高级学位的临床研究方法提供课程，以获得硕士学位， 临床研究（在UCSD CTSA U 54）或流行病学的UCSD部门的MPH。帮助 培养长期致力于风湿病相关学科的研究，所有学员将 参与流变学研究社区建设和圣地亚哥社区外展。非md 受训者将参加医学院的临床前流变学课程，其中包括与病人的接触。 学员将根据他们以前的学术表现，研究职业潜力和 经验、出版物、面试和主管的推荐。优选那些 在风湿病和免疫疾病方面具有公认的研究兴趣，并证明 研究能力。为了解决未满足的需求，我们将重点招聘优秀的医生，MSTP， URM学生候选人。主要培训单位是UCSD流变学，过敏和免疫学 加州大学圣地亚哥分校分部其他培训地点包括UCSD和VA医院和诊所，UCSD CTSA，以及 其他UCSD医学部门和部门，以及LJI和Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical的实验室 探索研究所。该计划的毕业生将准备为独立的学术职位竞争 医学院校或研究机构的调查员，或工业界的研究科学家。
