DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is a competing continuation of Forsyth's currently funded Kirschstein-NRSA T32 training award entitled "Postdoctoral Training Program in Oral Health Research". This program is targeted to dentists and PhDs who desire a postdoctoral experience in basic, clinical or patient-oriented oral health research. Specific training opportunities are available in Craniofacial Development/Biomineralization, Immunobiology, Oral Microbial-Host Interactions, and Clinical Investigation. Linkage of projects between focus areas, especially between Clinical Investigation and other focus areas will be encouraged. Mentors have outstanding records of published research consistent with the NIDR mission, are well-supported by NIH (PI or Co-l on average of 3.4 funded research grants) and have appreciable experience in postdoctoral education. Extensive collaborative and multidisciplinary interactions are characteristic of mentors' research. These multidisciplinary/collaborative research efforts of mentors will provide trainees with examples of such interactions, and should also serve as a springboard for the trainee to initiate similar collaborative research interactions. Enhancements to the postdoctoral research experience will include semester-long courses in clinical research design, oral health targeted courses in Immunology, Infectious Disease, and Developmental Biology, and a newly developed course in Scientific Integrity developed for the current T32 program (required). Training in research use of the Web and bioinformatic tools is also offered, together with formal workshops and informal guidance in grantsmanship and Career Development. Trainees will take active roles in the Forsyth Seminar Series, Oral Biology colloquia, departmental journal clubs, and a postdoctoral research group. Leadership awareness and training will be facilitated by postdoctoral trainee mentoring of Boston high school and Harvard dental students in summer research projects. Several strategies will be used to recruit trainees including candidates from underrepresented racial/ethnic groups who will be specifically encouraged. Our goal is to provide training experiences that will position trainees to be principal investigators who can successfully compete for research funds, who effectively communicate their ideas both orally and in written form, who recognize the value of collaborative and multidisciplinary research, and who uphold the highest standards in scientific integrity.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案是福赛斯目前资助的Kirschstein-NRSA T32培训奖的竞争延续，标题为“口腔健康研究的博士后培训计划”。该计划针对希望在基本，临床或以患者为导向的口腔健康研究中获得博士后经验的牙医和博士学位。在颅面开发/生物矿化，免疫生物学，口腔微生物 - 宿主相互作用和临床研究中提供了特定的培训机会。将鼓励重点领域之间的项目联系，尤其是临床调查与其他重点领域之间的联系。导师拥有与NIDR任务一致的已发表研究的出色记录，由NIH（平均PI或Co-L共3.4个资助的研究补助金）良好支持，并且在博士后教育方面具有可观的经验。广泛的合作和多学科互动是导师研究的特征。这些跨学科/协作研究工作的指导者将为受训者提供此类互动的例子，还应作为学员开始类似的协作研究互动的跳板。对博士后研究经验的增强功能将包括临床研究设计，口腔健康针对免疫学，传染病和发育生物学的针对性课程的学期课程，以及针对当前T32计划开发的新开发的科学完整性课程（要求）。还提供了网络研究和生物信息学工具的培训，以及正式的研讨会和授予技巧和职业发展的非正式指导。受训人员将在福赛斯研讨会系列，口腔生物学座谈会，部门期刊俱乐部和博士后研究小组中发挥积极作用。在夏季研究项目中，波士顿高中和哈佛牙科学生的博士后学员的指导将促进领导意识和培训。将使用几种策略来招募受训者，包括来自代表性不足的种族/族裔群体的候选人，他们将受到特别的鼓励。我们的目标是提供培训经验，使学员成为可以成功竞争研究基金的主要研究人员，他们有效地以口头和书面形式传达了他们的想法，他们认识到协作和多学科研究的价值，并维护科学完整性中最高标准的标准。
