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研究培训计划的目标是通过提供一个综合的跨学科课程，强调癌症遗传学和基因组学，粘膜生物学和免疫学，肠道病原体和疫苗开发，以及流行病学和预防医学研究，为胃肠病学的学术生涯做好博士前和博士后研究员的准备。博士预科生获得博士学位。或联合医学博士/博士在分子和细胞生物学，病理学，或微生物学/免疫学学位，而博士后学员获得流行病学和预防医学，临床研究轨道科学硕士学位。拟议的培训将包括四个项目：癌症遗传学和基因组学，粘液免疫学和微生物学，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。每个项目都由一位富有成效的调查员指导，由专家，经验丰富的导师组成，他们在这些项目内和项目之间进行互动。我们的培训计划也受益于代表性不足的少数群体，特别是非洲裔美国人的强烈代表性，以及女性学员的高比例。在这个高度跨学科的计划部门代表包括医学，儿科，外科，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，在医学院的疫苗开发中心，口腔病理学系在牙科学校。正如所附的应用程序中所示，该计划已通过招聘和保留一些有才华的，资金充足的教师来加强。我们的教师培训的许多学员已着手获得学术职位，赚取同行评审的校外资金，并发表重要的研究论文。虽然我们的教师已经在培训GI研究人员的良好记录，有一个正式的，综合的GI培训结构，如NIDDK T32授予机制所提供的UMB的需要。在一个保护伞下组织这个跨学科计划将提供资金支持的安全来源，密切监测培训进度，GI研究培训的额外动力以及吸引强大的培训候选人的优势。因此，我们提交本申请，以解决这些目标，并影响在胃肠病学领域的医生，科学家和其他研究人员的短缺
