Comprehensive Oral Health Training Program

描述(由申请者提供)：加州大学旧金山分校的口腔健康综合研究培训(队列)计划寻求续签。一开始，它整合了之前的几个T32计划，并在前一段时间将我们剩余的NRSA培训计划和夏季研究培训计划进一步整合为一个整合的、多轨道的培训工作。Cohort为以下学生群体提供培训：暑期牙科学生、DSTP学生、博士后学生，以及各种博士后培训，以满足年轻科学家和临床医生的需求，并为教师提供短期和长期重组的机会。我们的目标是：1)为牙科学生以及初级、中期和兼职教师提供出色的短期培训机会，并为合作牙科学校中代表性不足的少数族裔学生进一步扩大研究经验的联系；2)继续发展我们的DSTP计划，专注于在不影响质量的情况下将计划总长度降至最低；3)继续为博士课程提供多种选择，包括口腔和颅面科学、生物信息学、加州大学伯克利分校生物工程和加州大学伯克利分校流行病学；4)通过扩大我们在有限情况下对教师的再培训和重组的选择，继续采用多轨道方法进行博士后培训；5)提供跨学科指导，如前一阶段引入的导师伙伴关系(MP)方法所体现的那样，允许为来自不同背景的非学位学生定制项目；6)在关键领域提供访问并发展更多全面的口语研究经验(核心)；7)为参与该资助的组成学生群体提供基础设施并促进其一致性；以及8)应用适当的评估工具，允许该项目的演变，以满足新一代学生不断变化的需求。我们寻求促进口腔健康研究的广泛视角，为学员提供所需的关键工具，并为研究的开展提供科学严谨的基础。该计划联合了经验丰富的培训主任和杰出的科学和临床导师，他们被联系在一起，指导每个被选为组成部分计划的受训人员。这使得口腔健康研究人员和学术牙科领域的领导者能够获得跨越职业范围的综合培训经验。该计划提供多个入职门户，以便学员在每个职业阶段的需求都能得到满足，并包含在特殊情况下满足初级和中期教师的探索、重组和再培训需求的部分。因此，我们将满足学员和口腔健康研究界的需求，提供培训，确保持续接触尖端科学、最先进的研究工具，以及当今复杂的科学问题所需的创新、跨学科、基于团队的观点。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Comprehensive Oral Health Research Training (COHORT) Program at UCSF seeks renewal. At inception it incorporated several prior T32 programs, and during the prior period further consolidated our remaining NRSA training program and summer research training program into a consolidated, multi-track training effort. COHORT offers training for the following student groups: summer dental students; DSTP students, PhD students, and several varieties of post-doctoral training to meet the needs of young scientists and clinicians, as well as offering opportunities for short-term and long-term retooling for faculty. Our goals are: 1) Provide outstanding short-term training opportunities to dental students, as well as junior, mid-career and part-time faculty, and to further extend the links for research experiences for underrepresented minority students at collaborating dental schools; 2) Continue the development of our DSTP program, focusing on minimizing total program length without compromising quality; 3) Continue to provide multiple options for PhD programs to include Oral and Craniofacial Sciences, Bioinformatics, UCSF-UC Berkeley Bioengineering, and UC Berkeley Epidemiology; 4) Continue the multiple track approach to post-doctoral training by extending our option for retraining and retooling faculty under limited circumstances; 5) Provide cross-disciplinary mentoring as embodied by the mentor partnership (MP) approach introduced in the prior period that allows customized programs for non degree students from diverse backgrounds; 6) Provide access to and develop additional comprehensive oral research experiences (CORE) in key areas; 7) Provide infrastructure for and promote coherence of the constituent student groups that participate in this grant; and 8) Apply appropriate evaluation tools to allow evolution of the program to meet the changing needs of new generations of students. We seek to promote broad perspectives on oral health research, provide key tools needed by trainees, and provide a scientifically rigorous foundation for conduct of research. The program unites experienced training directors, and outstanding scientific and clinical mentors that are linked to guide each trainee selected for the component programs. This permits an integrated training experience that spans the career spectrum for oral health researchers and leaders in academic dentistry. The program offers multiple portals of entry so that trainees' needs can be met at each career stage, and has components that meet the needs for exploration, retooling, and retraining of junior and mid-career faculty in special cases. Thus, we will meet the needs of the trainees and the oral health research community, providing training that assures continuing access to cutting-edge science, state-of-the-art research tools, and the innovative, cross-disciplinary, team-based perspectives required by today's complex scientific problems.
