Abstract The Interdisciplinary Biomedical Imaging Training Program will prepare predoctoral trainees to become leaders in organism-level, biomedical imaging technology and application research. Multi-disciplinary teams of engineers, physicists, biologists, and clinicians are required to advance biomedical imaging, especially with the advent of in vivo cellular and molecular imaging. We will create the next generation of interdisciplinary biomedical imaging scientists and engineers who will contribute to and lead such teams. Our training program will build upon continuing, significant institutional, state, federal, and commercial investment in faculty and imaging infrastructure. A training grant award will place students squarely in the center of on-going interdisciplinary/multidisciplinary research programs. Trainees will use imaging facilities in the Case Center for Imaging Research which includes state-of-the-art clinical and small animal imaging systems, along with labs of mentoring faculty. Predoctoral trainees will be from the highly-rated departments of Biomedical Engineering and Physics, both of which have a long history of training in biomedical imaging. Trainees will conduct research projects combining enabling technologies in imaging with biomedical research. Each trainee will have two or more mentors representing both imaging technology and biological/clinical applications of imaging. Our educational program includes a portfolio of imaging courses, including ones focusing on imaging physics, image analysis, and reconstruction, as well as nanomedicine. We will promote a culture of interdisciplinary research during a designated Imaging Hour. Our T32 has enabled us to increase recruitment of women and under- represented minorities. In general, it has helped make graduate students cost effective as compared to post docs and ensured training of domestic PhD's in this area of critical need. In less than nine years, our T32 program has already successfully trained several graduates, all with exemplary training records and with a trajectory towards success. Other trainees are moving through the program focusing on exciting interdisciplinary imaging research and with excellent research productivity.

摘要 跨学科生物医学成像培训计划将培养博士前学员成为领导者 在生物体层面，生物医学成像技术及应用研究。由多学科团队组成的 工程师、物理学家、生物学家和临床医生需要推进生物医学成像，特别是通过 活体细胞和分子成像技术的出现。我们将创造下一代跨学科的生物医学 将为这些团队做出贡献并领导这些团队的成像科学家和工程师。我们的培训计划将建立在 在教师和成像方面持续、重大的机构、州、联邦和商业投资 基础设施。培训助学金将把学生直接放在正在进行的 跨学科/多学科研究计划。学员将使用案例中心的成像设施进行 成像研究，包括最先进的临床和小动物成像系统，以及 指导教师。博士前实习生将来自高度评价的生物医学工程系和 物理学，这两个学科在生物医学成像方面都有很长的培训历史。学员将进行研究 将使能成像技术与生物医学研究相结合的项目。每名实习生将有两名或 更多代表成像技术和成像的生物/临床应用的导师。我们的 教育计划包括一系列成像课程，其中包括侧重于成像物理、图像 分析和重建，以及纳米医学。我们将促进跨学科研究的文化 在指定的成像时间内。我们的T32使我们能够更多地招聘女性和以下- 代表少数族裔。总体而言，与岗位相比，这有助于提高研究生的成本效益 为国内博士在这一急需领域的培训提供文件和保证。在不到九年的时间里，我们的T32计划 已经成功培养了几名毕业生，他们都有堪称楷模的培训记录和轨迹 走向成功。其他受训人员正在完成该项目，专注于令人兴奋的跨学科成像 从事研究，并具有出色的研究生产力。
