DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a proposal for the continuation of the Institutional Training Program in Skeletal, Craniofacial and Oral Biology (SCOB) at the University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine. It is intended to help meet the substantial need for dental research scholars in the United States. The program has produced and will continue to produce dental scholars to meet the growing needs of academic dentistry, who are competent as clinicians and independent as scientists, who are able to initiate and maintain funded research programs, and who are prepared for the evolution of their research into new directions. The four major tracks of the training program are DMD/PhD (7-8 yrs; 10 present trainees; 10 additional trainees requested), PhD (4-5 yrs; 0 present trainees; 0 additional trainees requested at this time), postdoctoral research (2-3 yrs; 3 present trainees; 6 additional trainees requested) and short-term dental student research (3 mos; 12 trainees/year; 60 trainees requested). We will be training individuals from a broad spectrum of experiences from completion of BS/BA degrees to those who have completed PhD and/or dental residency training. Degree program tracks will focus on basic biological problems related to dental, skeletal, craniofacial and oral biology in health and disease. The postdoctoral training track will include translational and behavioral research in addition to the above areas. A core curriculum which integrates different disciplines and levels of training and expertise exposes trainees to the diversity and complexity of the biology and sociology of oral diseases. The Health Center has a dynamic group of faculty in SCOB, with highly successful collaborations among faculty throughout the Schools of Dental Medicine and Medicine. The Biomedical Science PhD program graduate faculty and active institutional research centers and clinical signature programs provide laboratory, translational and patient oriented research opportunities that enable a diversified training environment for the program tracks, allow flexibility for the individual needs of trainees, and ensure successful progress through the tracks. The institution has vigorous trainee recruitment programs; several are directed towards under- represented minority candidates. We will continue to provide training that is tailored to each candidate, while maintaining a focus on skeletal, craniofacial and oral biology through symposia, seminars, courses, clinical research centers and collaborative research activities which are integrated both within individual tracks and amongst all the tracks of the program. Oral health is critical to a good quality of life. The quality of dental care delivered nationwide is dependent on continuing advancement in our understanding of oral and craniofacial diseases and the application of this understanding to patient care. Thus, training of outstanding dental and craniofacial scientists is critical to the health and quality of life of the American public.

描述（由申请人提供）：这是康涅狄格大学牙科医学院骨骼、颅面和口腔生物学（SCOB）机构培训计划的延续提案。它旨在帮助满足美国牙科研究学者的大量需求。该计划已经并将继续培养牙科学者，以满足学术牙科不断增长的需求，他们有能力作为临床医生和独立的科学家，他们能够发起和维持资助的研究项目，并为他们的研究向新的方向发展做好准备。培养计划的四个主要方向是：DMD/PhD（7-8年，在岗10人，申请增加10人），PhD（4-5年，在岗0人，目前申请增加0人），博士后研究（2-3年，在岗3人，申请增加6人）和短期牙科学生研究（3个月，12人/年，申请增加60人）。我们将培训具有广泛经验的个人，从完成学士/学士学位到完成博士和/或牙科住院医师培训的人。学位课程将侧重于健康和疾病中与牙科、骨骼、颅面和口腔生物学相关的基本生物学问题。博士后培养轨道除上述领域外，还将包括翻译和行为研究。核心课程整合了不同学科和水平的培训和专业知识，使学员了解口腔疾病生物学和社会学的多样性和复杂性。健康中心在SCOB拥有一支充满活力的教师队伍，在整个牙科医学院和医学院的教师之间进行了非常成功的合作。生物医学科学博士课程的研究生教师和活跃的机构研究中心以及临床签名项目提供实验室，转化和以患者为导向的研究机会，为项目轨道提供多样化的培训环境，为学员的个人需求提供灵活性，并确保通过轨道的成功进展。该机构有积极的培训生招聘计划；有几个是针对代表性不足的少数民族候选人的。我们将继续为每位候选人提供量身定制的培训，同时通过专题讨论会，研讨会，课程，临床研究中心和合作研究活动保持对骨骼，颅面和口腔生物学的关注，这些活动在个人轨道和计划的所有轨道中都得到了整合。口腔健康对良好的生活质量至关重要。全国范围内提供的牙科护理的质量取决于我们对口腔和颅面疾病的理解的不断进步，以及这种理解在患者护理中的应用。因此，培养优秀的牙科和颅面科学家对美国公众的健康和生活质量至关重要。
