Training in Lung Science

摘要： 这项提案是明尼苏达大学肺科学培训补助金的第五次竞争性更新 请求为4个博士后和6个博士后培训职位(目前为4个和8个)提供经费。从第十年开始， 这笔培训补助金为70多名学员提供了在以下领域发展坚实基础的机会 肺科学。在这一时期，47名博士后(21名医学博士，23名博士，3名医学博士)和19名博士前(15名博士 研究生和3名医学博士研究生)学员完成了T32支持。我们训练的主要目的是 计划是提供严格的科学、领导力和团队科学培训，以启动在肺部的职业生涯- 相关研究。多学科咨询团队利用个性化发展指导职业发展 计划：使医生和科学家成为独立的调查人员，审查科学问题 与人类肺部疾病相关；博士科学家获得肺部生物学知识，促进长期职业生涯 基础和转化性肺病研究；以及医学博士研究生和其他 建立学位授予计划以培养他们对肺部研究的兴趣和发展他们的技能。国防部 强烈鼓励学员完成正式课程和/或获得高级学位，以优化他们的 为成功的调查事业创造机会。 培训集中在三个主要课程领域：(1)细胞和分子生物学；(2)临床研究和公共 (3)系统生物学、生物工程和生物信息学。该课程提供正规培训。 在广泛的学科领域攻读博士学位、公共卫生硕士学位或 临床研究和临床研究证书课程。培训学院是从5个人中挑选出来的 学术健康中心学院和科学与工程学院，提供广泛的专业知识， 集中在与肺部疾病有关的主题领域。随着此次续签而增加的新教员深化了 在生物信息学、卫生服务研究、生物工程、临床试验和慢性病方面的专业知识 结果。博士生接受系统的肺部疾病基础知识的接触，并拥有 有机会加入相关临床环境的教员队伍。全面的资源和稳定的研究经费 每个领域继续提供出色的培训环境。

ABSTRACT: This proposal is the fifth competing renewal of the University of Minnesota Training Grant in Lung Science requesting funding of 4 pre-doctoral and 6 postdoctoral training positions (currently 4 and 8). Since year 10, this Training Grant has provided more than 70 trainees with the opportunity to develop strong foundations in lung science. In this period 47 post-doctoral (21 MD, 23 PhD, 3 MD-PhD) and 19 pre-doctoral (15 PhD graduate students and 3 MD–PhD students) trainees completed T32 support. The major aim of our Training Program is to provide rigorous scientific, leadership, and team science training to launch careers in lung- related research. Multidisciplinary advisory teams guide career development using Individualized Development Plans enabling: physician-scientists to become independent investigators examining scientific questions related to human lung disease; PhD scientists to gain knowledge of lung biology, promoting long term careers in basic and translational lung research; and graduate students from the MD-PhD program and other established degree-granting programs to nurture their interest and develop their skills in lung research. MD trainees are strongly encouraged to do formal coursework and/or obtain advanced degrees to optimize their opportunities for successful investigative careers. Training is focused in 3 major curricular areas: (1) Cell & Molecular Biology; (2) Clinical Research & Public Health; and (3) Systems Biology, Bioengineering; & Bio-Informatics. The curriculum provides formal training and degree opportunities for PhD degrees in a broad range of disciplines, Masters degrees in Public Health or Clinical Research, and Certificate Programs in Clinical Research. The Training Faculty is drawn from 5 Academic Health Center colleges and the College of Science & Engineering, providing broad expertise, clustered in thematic domains related to lung diseases. New faculty added with this renewal deepen the expertise in bioinformatics, health services research, bio-engineering, clinical trials and chronic disease outcomes. PhD trainees receive systematic exposure to the fundamentals of lung disease and have the opportunity to join faculty in relevant clinical settings. Comprehensive resources and stable research funding in each area continue to provide an outstanding training environment.
