Abstract This application is for renewal of the T32 comprehensive institutional research-training grant COSTAR (Craniofacial Oral-Biology Student Training in Academic Research). Building on longstanding institutional research training experience, COSTAR has trained 26 DDS/PhD students, 41 PhD students, 26 Post-doctoral Fellows, 4 faculty fellows, and 147 summer dental student research fellows since first funded in 2002. Our outcome measures since 2002 indicate an outstanding training environment, as documented by publication of 314 peer reviewed papers by trainees, including Nature and PNAS, and 41 trainees (67%) receiving and transferring to individual NIH awards (F30, F31, F32, K08, K23, or R21) or equivalent fellowships. Our tracking of former advanced degree COSTAR trainees, graduates, and fellows shows an exemplary rate (82%) of retention in research settings, including academic or scientist positions or continued postdoctoral research training. The COSTAR program has made great strides in promoting diversity with recruitment of 44% underrepresented minority and 73% women trainees. Based upon these objective measures of success and our continual self-assessment process, we propose a renewal for an additional five-year period of support. Our focused goal remains devoted to train a cadre of highly skilled, interactive scientists who can successfully address the new opportunities in dental, oral, and craniofacial research and become a part of the future academic faculty in US dental schools. The COSTAR program will offer three integrated training tracks: 1) DDS/PhD program, 2) PhD program, and 3) Basic or Clinical-translational Postdoctoral research fellowships. These three training tracks are provided in three integrated thematic areas by a highly selected, research intensive, and collaborative, Program Faculty representing the best mentors across the Dental, Medical, and Graduate Schools at UTHSCSA, and united by their shared interest in Craniofacial Oral Biology research. Thus, COSTAR serves as a strong institutional nexus for an exceptional multi- and inter- disciplinary research and training environment further enhancing the institutional infrastructure for research in Craniofacial Oral Biology. Highly motivated and dedicated students and fellows who are selected for research training in the COSTAR program will participate in a series of COSTAR core courses and experiences that are integrated with programs across the Dental School and the campus at large. Importantly, COSTAR-sponsored activities yield a strong programmatic identity, collaboration, and networking among trainees. Trainee development towards research independence and future success in academic research will be encouraged by successful submission of applications for individual awards. By formally developing, a tracking and analyzing plan focused on continuously improving our training program, the COSTAR Leadership Council and Advisory Boards provide an optimal environment for research training of new scientists in Craniofacial Oral Biology following the tradition of our long-tem success in academia of former trainees at the UTHSCSA.

摘要 本申请书为续期t32综合院校研究培训补助金。 COSTAR(颅面口腔生物学学生学术研究培训)。在基础上建设 长期的院校研究培训经验，Costar培养了26名DDS/博士 学生，41名博士生，26名博士后研究员，4名教师研究员，147名暑期牙医 自2002年首次资助以来，一直是学生研究研究员。我们自2002年以来的结果衡量标准表明 出色的培训环境，发表了314篇同行评审的论文 按受训人员，包括自然和国家行动局，以及41名受训人员(67%)接收和转至 NIH个人奖项(F30、F31、F32、K08、K23或R21)或同等奖学金。我们的追踪 前高级学位合作伙伴实习生、毕业生和研究员的比例堪称典范 (82%)在研究环境中留任，包括学术或科学家职位或继续留任 博士后科研培训。Costar计划在促进 多样性，44%的招聘人数低于少数群体，73%的受训妇女为女性。基座 基于这些衡量成功的客观标准和我们持续的自我评估过程，我们 提议再延长五年的支持期。我们专注的目标仍然是 致力于培养一支高技能、互动的科学家队伍，他们能够成功地解决 牙科、口腔和颅面研究的新机遇，并成为未来的一部分 美国牙科学校的教职员工。合作伙伴计划将提供三项综合培训 曲目： 1)DDS/博士项目，2)博士项目，3)基础或临床-翻译博士后 研究奖学金。这三个培训轨道在三个综合主题领域提供 由高度精挑细选、研究密集和协作的计划学院代表 UTHSCSA牙科、医学和研究生院的最佳导师，并由 他们对颅面口腔生物学研究的共同兴趣。 因此，Costar作为一个强大的制度纽带，为一个特殊的多个和相互之间的 学科研究和培训环境进一步加强机构基础设施 在颅面口腔生物学方面的研究。高度上进心和敬业精神的学生和研究员 谁被选为研究培训的合作伙伴计划将参加一系列 与整个牙科项目整合的合作伙伴核心课程和体验 学校和整个校园。重要的是，联合明星赞助的活动产生了强大的 培训学员之间的程序性身份、协作和网络。实习生发展 走向研究独立和未来在学术研究中的成功将受到 成功递交个人奖项申请。通过正式开发、跟踪 和分析计划，重点是持续改进我们的培训计划，合作伙伴 领导委员会和咨询委员会为研究培训提供最佳环境 颅面口腔生物学的新科学家们延续了我们长期成功的传统 UTHSCSA前实习生的学术界。
