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.

抽象的 拟议的计划旨在培训该领域生物医学研究的博士后研究人员 风湿性疾病。我们请求 3 个博士后培训名额（医学博士、医学博士/博士、医学博士/公共卫生硕士和/或 实验室或临床转化研究的博士研究人员），以及 2 个博士前学生名额 （对于双博士/博士生和/或单博士生，所有人都将在加州大学圣地亚哥分校/洛杉矶分校接受基础转化研究培训 Jolla 过敏和免疫学研究所 (LJI) 免疫学生物医学科学项目）。培训内容 项目将包括通常 24 个月、最长 36 个月的研究经历。培训正在进行中 密切监督导师在免疫学、分子生物学、生物化学和/或领域的协作工作 与疾病相关的流行病学、卫生服务、遗传、生物信息和计算生物学问题 风湿性疾病。我们的重点是招募和培训新的独立研究人员以产生 风湿病的新转化方法和靶向治疗，并为管道做出贡献 风湿病学研究的新领导者。创造性思维、出版和演示的发展 技能，以及跨学科团队指导，以及发展和提高教师指导技能， 是该程序的主要特点。我们将整合多个互补的专业知识和资源 导师，为个人学员和研究项目量身定制。所有学员都必须参加以下课程 适合其培训和发展的科学道德和科学研究方法。其他 鼓励从事基础研究的人员学习正式的学术课程。 MD 实习生没有 提供临床研究方法学高级学位课程以获得硕士学位 临床研究（在 UCSD CTSA U54 中​​）或 UCSD 流行病学系的 MPH。帮助 为了培养对风湿病相关学科研究的长期职业承诺，所有学员将 参与风湿病学研究社区建设和圣地亚哥社区外展。非医学博士 学员将参加医学院的临床前风湿病学课程，其中包括与患者的接触。 将根据他们之前的学术表现、研究职业潜力和 经验、出版物、访谈和导师的推荐。优先考虑那些 对风湿病和免疫疾病有公认的研究兴趣，并证明 研究能力。为了解决未满足的需求，我们将强调招募优秀的医生，MSTP， 和 URM 学生候选人。主要培训单位是加州大学圣地亚哥分校风湿病学、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 和 UCSD 的其他医学部门以及 LJI 和 Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical 的实验室 发现研究所。项目毕业生将准备好以独立的身份竞争学术职位 医学院或研究机构的研究人员，或工业界的研究科学家。
