Comprehensive Training in Inter-Disciplinary Oral Health Research

描述(由申请人提供)：华盛顿大学的这一拟议培训计划是现有T32跨学科口腔健康研究综合培训培训拨款的竞争性续签，但从技术上讲，它是作为T90/R90计划的PAR-10-170的新建议提交的，该计划允许有限数量的非公民博士后受训人员。跨学科口腔健康研究综合培训计划已经成功地创建了一个涵盖跨学科口腔健康研究领域的广泛的综合计划。研究领域包括公共卫生、行为和临床，以及基础和翻译。口腔医学院的多学科口腔健康科学系(OHS)是该项目的焦点，为所有学员提供核心内容。其他参与的部门包括公共卫生学院的生物统计学、流行病学和卫生服务。基础科学和转化科学的重点领域包括微生物-宿主相互作用和免疫学；颅面生物学、发育和疾病；口面部结构和功能；干细胞生物学/组织再生。包括博士后和博士后阶段的长期培训计划。长期的博士前培训(7个职位)是通过所有参与的四个系的博士项目提供的，包括通过OHS的口腔生物学研究生项目提供的DDS/博士项目。长期的博士后培训(每年4至8个职位)提供给从事口腔健康研究课题的博士，以及寻求更多研究培训和经验的牙医。其中包括两个长期博士后职位，专为对高级研究培训感兴趣的非公民牙医提供，为研究生涯做准备，特别是在美国的牙科学校。来自美国30个州和43个国家的牙科学校的465名教师在过去20年里参加了临床牙科研究方法夏季研究所，因此这些新职位的非公民牙医候选人名单得到了加强。项目主任蒂莫西·德鲁恩博士在研究和培训项目的管理方面拥有丰富的经验，主要是在公共卫生和临床研究方面；联合主任道格拉斯·拉姆齐博士是临床医生兼科学家，NIH资助的首席研究员和口腔健康科学部主任；副主任理查德·普雷斯兰博士在基础和翻译研究领域拥有研究和管理经验。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposed training program at the University of Washington is a competing renewal of an existing T32 training grant on Comprehensive Training in Interdisciplinary Oral Health Research, but it technically is being submitted as a new proposal in response to PAR-10-170 for T90/R90 programs, which allows for a limited number of non-citizen postdoctoral trainees. The Comprehensive Training in Interdisciplinary Oral Health Research program has successfully created a comprehensive program that covers a broad spectrum of interdisciplinary oral health research areas. Research areas included are public health, behavioral, and clinical, as well as basic and translational. The multidisciplinary Department of Oral Health Sciences (OHS) in the School of Dentistry serves as the focal point for the program, providing core content for all trainees. Other participating departments include Biostatistics, Epidemiology and Health Services in the School of Public Health. Focal areas in basic and translational sciences include microbial-host interactions and immunology; craniofacial biology, development and disease; orofacial structure and function; and stem cell biology/tissue regeneration. Long-term training programs are included at both pre-doctoral and postdoctoral levels. Long-term pre-doctoral training (7 positions) is offered through PhD programs in all four participating departments, and includes the DDS/PhD program offered through the Oral Biology Graduate Program in OHS. Long-term postdoctoral training (4 to 8 positions per year) is offered for PhD's working on oral health research topics, as well as for dentists seeking additional research training and experience. Included are 2 long term postdoctoral positions designated for non-citizen dentists interested in advanced research training in preparation for a research career, particularly in U.S. schools of dentistry. The pool f non-citizen dentist candidates for these new positions is enhanced by the list of 465 faculties from dental schools in 30 U.S. states and 43 foreign countries who have attended the Summer Institute in Clinical Dental Research Methods over the past 20 years. The Program Director, Dr. Timothy DeRouen, has extensive experience in administration of research and training programs, primarily in public health and clinical research; the Co- Director, Dr. Douglas Ramsay, is a clinician-scientist, NIH-funded principal investigator and Chair of the Department of Oral Health Sciences; and the Associate Director, Dr. Richard Presland, has research and administrative experience in basic and translational research areas.
