DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the UMB GI Research Training Program is to prepare pre- and post-doctoral fellows for academic careers in Gastroenterology by offering an integrated, interdisciplinary curriculum that emphasizes cancer genetics and genomics, mucosal biology and immunology, enteric pathogens and vaccine development, and epidemiology and preventive medicine research. Pre-doctoral trainees obtain Ph.D. or combined M.D./Ph.D. degrees in Molecular and Cell Biology, Pathology, or Microbiology/Immunology, whereas postdoctoral trainees earn a Master of Science degree in Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine, Clinical Research Track. The proposed training will consist of four programs: Cancer Genetics and Genomics, Mucosal Immunology and Microbiology, Epithelial Cell Biology, and Clinical Research Training in Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine. Each program is directed by a productive investigator and consists of expert, experienced mentors who interact both within and among these programs. Our training program also benefits from strong representation of underrepresented minority groups, particularly African-Americans, and by a high proportion of female trainees. Departments represented in this highly interdisciplinary program include Medicine, Pediatrics, Surgery, Pathology, Microbiology and Immunology, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine, the Center for Vaccine Development in the Medical School, and the Department of Oral Pathology in the Dental School. As evinced in the accompanying application, this program has been strengthened by the recruitment and retention of a number of talented, well-funded faculty members. Numerous mentees trained by our faculty have proceeded to obtain academic positions, earn peer-reviewed extramural funding, and publish important research papers. Although our faculty already have a strong track record in training GI researchers, there is a need at UMB for a formalized, integrated GI training structure such as that afforded by the NIDDK T32 granting mechanism. Organization of this interdisciplinary program under one umbrella will afford the advantages of a secure source of funding support, close monitoring of training progress, additional impetus for training in GI research, and the attraction of strong training candidates. We therefore submit this application to address these goals and to impact upon the shortage of physician-scientists and other researchers in the field of Gastroenterology

描述（由申请人提供）： UMB GI研究培训计划的目的是通过提供一项综合的，跨学科的课程，以强调癌症遗传学和基因组学，粘膜生物学和免疫学，肠胃病原体以及疫苗开发以及疫苗开发，以及疫苗开发，以及预防性医学研究，为胃肠病学的学术职业准备胃肠病学的学术研究。博士学培训者获得博士学位。或合并M.D./ph.d。分子和细胞生物学，病理学或微生物学/免疫学的学位，而博士后学员获得了流行病学和预防医学科学硕士学位，临床研究轨道。拟议的培训将包括四个计划：癌症遗传学和基因组学，粘膜免疫学和微生物学，上皮细胞生物学以及流行病学和预防医学的临床研究培训。每个计划都是由一名生产研究人员指导的，由专家，经验丰富的导师组成，这些导师在这些计划内部和这些计划之间进行互动。我们的培训计划还受益于代表人数不足的少数群体，尤其是非裔美国人，以及大部分女性受训者的代表。这项高度跨学科计划的部门包括医学，儿科，手术，病理学，微生物学和免疫学，生物化学和分子生物学，流行病学和预防医学，医学院疫苗开发中心，以及牙科学校口腔病理学系。正如随附的申请中所示的，该计划通过招募和保留许多才华横溢，资金丰富的教职员工得到了加强。我们教职员工培训的许多受训者已继续获得学术职位，获得同行评审的校外资金并发表重要的研究论文。尽管我们的教职员工在培训GI研究人员方面已经有着很强的往绩，但UMB需要建立正式的，集成的GI培训结构，例如NIDDK T32授予机制提供的结构。在一个伞下的该跨学科计划的组织将提供安全资金支持的优势，密切监测培训进度，额外的GI研究培训动力以及吸引强大的培训候选者。因此，我们提交此申请以解决这些目标，并影响胃肠病学领域的医师科学家和其他研究人员的短缺
