DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A long term goal of the Department of Dermatology at the University of Wisconsin- Madison is to produce scientific leaders for our discipline. To accomplish this goal, we propose to establish a Training Program for individualized career-building for post-doctoral candidates who have a definite commitment to an academic career in cutaneous biology. An aggressive plan to recruit MDs who have shown a clear commitment to academic dermatology will be implemented. The Program is led by an established investigator who was a successful director for more than ten years on a T32 in cutaneous biology at another institution. Integral to the Program is a selection process that emphasizes on quality of previous research experience and potential for independent investigation. This program rests on a foundation of well-funded research in the biology of skin diseases that includes 13 investigators and $14 million of annual direct cost from the National Institutes of Health, Department of Defense and Veterans Affairs. Six trainers are within the Department of Dermatology and seven others are established mentors from other departments with strong training records and research programs emphasizing skin biology. Many have collaborative relationships with each other and with faculty across the University. Participating faculty employ state of the art technology to study some of the most complex problems in investigative dermatology at the mechanistic level. Each trainee will be guided to apply for mentored individual NRSA or K awards. Formal training will also be provided in the ethical conduct of being a scientist and critical analysis of data for publication of results. In addition, all trainees will participate in courses, workshops, symposia and data presentation exercises. To develop communication skills, trainees will be required to present their work once a month at work in progress sessions which are held where six PI's of the Department and all fellows (over 40 at this time) are present and at the annual meeting of the Society for Investigative Dermatology and/or other national meetings. In summary, the goal of this program is to capitalize on the strengths of the funded investigators in the Department of Dermatology, as well as the University, to provide experience that is likely to lead to a productive and independent career in investigative dermatology.

描述（由申请人提供）：威斯康星州-麦迪逊大学皮肤科的长期目标是为我们的学科培养科学领导者。为了实现这一目标，我们建议为那些对皮肤生物学学术生涯有明确承诺的博士后候选人建立一个个性化职业建设的培训计划。将实施一项积极的计划，招募对学术皮肤病学有明确承诺的医学博士。该计划是由一个既定的研究者谁是一个成功的导演超过十年的T32皮肤生物学在另一个机构领导。该计划的组成部分是一个选择过程，强调以前的研究经验和独立调查的潜力。该计划建立在皮肤病生物学研究的基础上，其中包括13名研究人员和来自美国国立卫生研究院，国防部和退伍军人事务部的1400万美元的年度直接费用。六名培训师在皮肤科部门，另外七名是来自其他部门的导师，他们有着良好的培训记录和强调皮肤生物学的研究项目。许多人相互之间以及与整个大学的教师都有合作关系。参与的教师采用最先进的技术来研究一些最复杂的问题，在调查皮肤病学的机械水平。每个学员将被引导申请辅导个人NRSA或K奖。还将提供科学家道德行为和为发表结果而对数据进行批判性分析方面的正式培训。此外，所有受训人员将参加课程、讲习班、专题讨论会和数据介绍活动。为了培养沟通技能，学员将被要求每月一次在有该部六名主要研究员和所有研究员（目前超过40名）出席的工作进展会议上以及在皮肤病学调查学会年会和/或其他国家会议上介绍他们的工作。总之，该计划的目标是利用皮肤科系以及大学资助的研究人员的优势，提供可能导致在调查皮肤病学方面富有成效和独立职业生涯的经验。
