TRAINING PROGRAM IN LUNG BIOLOGY AND DISEASE

项目摘要 这是为德克萨斯大学西南分校肺相关研究培训提供资金的续签申请 医学中心，博士后(医学、博士)水平。这项提议是由两人共同努力提出的 儿科和成人科参与了该研究所的肺部研究，因此在其 核心。33名经验丰富的研究人员和研究导师，代表13种不同的临床和基础 科学部门和中心组成了一支坚实的、多样化的训练力量。我们重新组织了这个资金周期 我们的导师将一维轨道系统分组为三维矩阵，该矩阵随疾病而变化 专注、翻译水平和科学能力。学员可以与他们的主要和次要导师联系 通过进入矩阵中的适当点，并被鼓励沿着不同的轴发展。这 结构鼓励跨学科和跨部门的培训，并为 专业化、科学化发展。受训人员将获得针对具体领域和项目的全面培训 说教式课程。临床和基础科学实习生将由个性化的咨询指导 同时拥有基础和临床科学导师的委员会，以拓宽学员的视野并促进 从板凳到床边思考。重点将放在保持项目的重点，创造性的实验 设计，最先进的技术，以及早期的职业指导。这个节目的优势在于高度的 协作的制度环境，独特的跨部门领导和培训能力 课程，以及经验丰富和敬业的教职员工担任培训者。

Project Summary This is a renewal application to fund lung-related research training at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, at the postdoctoral (MD, PhD) level. The proposal is born out of a collaborative effort between the Pediatric and Adult divisions involved in lung research at this Institute, and is thus interdepartmental at its core. Thirty-three experienced investigators and research mentors representing 13 different clinical and basic science departments and centers form a solid, diverse training force. This funding cycle we have reorganized our mentor groupings from a unidimensional track system into a tridimensional matrix that varies along disease focus, translational level, and scientific competency. Trainees may access their primary and secondary mentors through entry into an appropriate point in the matrix and be encouraged to develop along different axes. This structure encourages cross-disciplinary and trans-departmental training, and creates a framework for professional and scientific development. Trainees will receive a comprehensive field- and project-specific didactic curriculum. Both clinical and basic science trainees will be guided by an individualized advisory committee that has both basic and clinical science mentors, to broaden the trainee’s perspective and facilitate bench to bedside thinking. Emphasis will be placed on maintenance of project focus, creative experimental design, state of the art technology, and early career guidance. The strength of this program lies in the highly collaborative Institutional environment, the unique interdepartmental leadership and training faculty of the program, and the experienced and dedicated faculty serving as trainers.
