ABSTRACT Craniofacial birth defects, e.g., cleft lip and cleft palate, are among the most common congenital malformations in humans. Similarly, acquired diseases affecting the craniofacial region (e.g., head and neck cancer) through treatment modalities (e.g., surgery and chemo- and radiation therapy) or accidents (e.g., traffic, firearms, fireworks) often cause significant functional, structural, and esthetic damage to the face, mouth, and cranium. The treatment of these conditions often is complex and involves the coordinated work of the multidisciplinary craniofacial teams at clinics and centers providing comprehensive care for patients. Despite recent advances in treatment options, the lack of knowledge in molecular mechanisms controlling craniofacial development and regeneration remains a major obstacle in development of more sophisticated therapies or more effective prevention of these conditions. The goal of this NIDCR Dental Specialty and PhD Program is to help ensure that a diverse pool of well- trained scientists is available to address the nation’s biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research needs. We are confident that this goal is achievable through programs that incorporate effective recruitment, advanced scientific and clinical training, superb mentors, and an outstanding training environment. We leverage our existing and highly successful Oral Health Sciences PhD program and the well-established, accredited clinical specialty programs at the School of Dentistry to provide a pipeline of experts with advanced scientific and clinical training. Specifically, this 7-year program offers PhD training with required and elective courses, research rotations, dissertation research and career and leadership development, coupled with clinical specialty training that supports scholars’ scientific and career plans. We propose to support our existing two scholars, who are currently pursuing the integrated dental specialty and PhD training, until they transition to other funding mechanisms during the second year of their specialty training. At that point, we will admit two new scholars, who will be selected based on strong academic records, research accomplishments, and commitment to a research-intensive academic career with a focus on craniofacial diseases and disorders and support them as outlined above. We will make a special effort to recruit scholars from diverse and underrepresented backgrounds. The University of Michigan and the School of Dentistry have a long tradition in graduate education, which is both “student-centered and faculty led”. Our holistic view in graduate training not only prepares scholars for professional challenges of the academic dentistry, but also furnishes them with skills and experiences to become critical independent thinkers and life-long learners. This allows them to develop as master clinicians with recognized independent research careers. Our goal is to educate a diverse and uniquely qualified workforce that will accelerate our possibilities to prevent and treat craniofacial diseases and disorders.

抽象的 颅面出生缺陷，例如唇裂和腭裂，是最常见的先天性缺陷之一 人类的畸形。同样，影响颅面部区域（例如头部和颈部）的后天性疾病 癌症）通过治疗方式（例如手术、化疗和放射治疗）或事故（例如， 交通、枪支、烟花）常常对面部造成严重的功能、结构和美观损伤， 口腔、颅骨。这些病症的治疗通常很复杂，需要协调工作 诊所和中心的多学科颅面团队为患者提供全面护理。 尽管治疗方案最近取得了进展，但缺乏控制分子机制的知识 颅面发育和再生仍然是更复杂的发育的主要障碍 疗法或更有效地预防这些病症。 该 NIDCR 牙科专业和博士项目的目标是帮助确保多样化的优秀人才库 训练有素的科学家可以满足国家的生物医学、行为和临床研究需求。我们 我们相信，通过包含有效招聘、先进技术的计划，这一目标是可以实现的 科学、临床的训练、优秀的导师、优良的训练环境。我们利用我们的 现有且非常成功的口腔健康科学博士项目以及完善的、经过认可的临床 牙科学院的专业课程旨在提供一批具有先进科学和技术的专家 临床培训。具体来说，这个为期7年的项目提供博士生培训，包括必修课和选修课， 研究轮换、论文研究、职业和领导力发展以及临床 支持学者的科学和职业计划的专业培训。我们建议支持我们现有的两个 目前正在追求综合牙科专业和博士培训的学者，直到他们过渡到 专业培训第二年的其他资助机制。到那时，我们将承认两个 新学者将根据良好的学术记录、研究成就和 致力于研究密集型学术生涯，重点关注颅面疾病和紊乱， 如上所述支持他们。我们将特别努力招募来自不同领域的学者 代表性不足的背景。 密歇根大学和牙科学院在研究生教育方面有着悠久的传统， 既“以学生为中心，又以教师为主导”。我们对研究生培训的整体看法不仅让学者们为 学术牙科的专业挑战，但也为他们提供了技能和经验 成为批判性的独立思考者和终身学习者。这使他们能够发展成为临床大师 具有公认的独立研究生涯。我们的目标是培养多元化且具有独特资质的人才 劳动力将加速我们预防和治疗颅面疾病和失调的可能性。
