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 此申请是为了更新T32综合机构研究培训补助金 COSTAR（颅面口腔生物学学生学术研究培训）。基础上 长期的机构研究培训经验，COSTAR已经培训了26个DDS/博士 学生，41名博士生，26名博士后研究员，4名教师研究员和147名暑期牙科医生 自2002年首次资助以来，学生研究员。我们自2002年以来的结果表明， 出色的培训环境，发表了314篇同行评审的论文 包括《自然》和《美国国家科学院院刊》在内的学员，以及41名学员（67%）接收和转学到 个人NIH奖（F30，F31，F32，K 08，K23或R21）或同等奖学金。我们的跟踪 的前高级学位COSTAR学员，毕业生和研究员显示出模范率 (82在研究环境中保留的百分比，包括学术或科学家职位或继续 博士后研究培训。COSTAR计划在促进 招聘了44%代表性不足的少数族裔和73%的女性学员。基于 根据这些客观的成功衡量标准和我们持续的自我评估过程，我们 建议再延长五年的支助期。我们的目标仍然是 致力于培养一批高技能、互动的科学家，他们能够成功地解决 牙科，口腔和颅面研究的新机会，并成为未来的一部分 美国牙科学校的学术教师。COSTAR计划将提供三个综合培训 曲目： 1)DDS/博士课程，2）博士课程，和3）基础或临床翻译博士后 研究奖学金在三个综合专题领域提供这三个培训轨道 由一个高度选择，研究密集，和协作，程序教师代表 在UTHSCSA的牙科，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作为一个强大的机构纽带，为一个特殊的多边和国际， 学科研究和培训环境，进一步加强体制基础设施 研究颅面口腔生物学高度积极和敬业的学生和研究员 被选中参加COSTAR项目研究培训的人将参加一系列 COSTAR核心课程和经验与整个牙科计划相结合 学校和整个校园。重要的是，COSTAR赞助的活动产生了强有力的 方案标识、合作和学员之间的网络联系。培训生发展 鼓励研究独立和未来在学术研究中取得成功， 成功提交个人奖项申请。通过正式开发， 并分析计划，重点是不断改进我们的培训计划COSTAR 领导理事会和咨询委员会为研究培训提供了最佳环境， 颅面口腔生物学的新科学家遵循我们长期成功的传统， 在UTHSCSA前学员的学术界。
