Dental Academic Research Training Program (DART)

摘要：阿拉巴马大学牙科学术研究培训(DART)项目 伯明翰牙科学校(UAB SOD)是一个全面的研究-培训计划，专注于 发展创新的、综合的、多学科的方法，培养一支训练有素的、 熟练、协作的科学家和临床医生科学家，能够解决关键的牙科、口腔 和我们国家的颅面研究问题。此次续订是我们NIDCRT-90的延续 (DE022736)/R90(DE023056)在我们之前的T-32 DART计划基础上构建的DART训练计划 (DE017607-05)。此外，我们的培训经验是之前成功的NIDCR T32的顶峰 研究培训计划：口腔健康博士后培训(T32-DE14300)；博士后培训 龋病研究(T32-DE007026)；卫生专业学生短期研究培训 (T35-DK07545；资助了40多年)。这一强劲的体验导致了成功的创新 培训计划旨在增强牙医、研究生、双学位学生的知识 基础、临床和翻译研究的(DMD/PhD)学生和博士后研究员提供 获得独特技能的高效、独立的牙科学术生涯之路 勇气和领导力。 DART计划提供四个培训轨道：轨道I-DMD/Ph.D；轨道II-博士前博士；轨道III- 对外国受训的牙医进行博士后培训；以及第四轨道--博士后培训。一体化省道 核心经验包括：1)演讲技巧；2)研究知识；3)领导力和人际关系 发展；4)负责任地进行研究培训；5)授予写作技能；6)个性化 发展计划。DART的主要目标是提供更广泛的跨学科研究 在研究密集型合作学术大学为特别积极的实习生提供的经验 环境。研究培训是在可持续发展委员会的五个方案研究主题之一中提供的：1) 微生物学/免疫学；2)颅面遗传学/发育生物学；3)生物材料学/ 生物仿生学；4)口腔面部癌症；5)实施科学/临床结果研究。UAB 由于我们的排名，SoD在为下一代院士提供培训方面具有独特的地位 跻身NIDCR研究资金前十名，并主办NIDCR国家牙科实践 研究网络(U19-DE022736)。超氧化物歧化酶是一个重要的东南部地区的组成部分 健康科学中心被评为卡内基“最高研究活动”。

ABSTRACT: The Dental Academic Research Training (DART) Program at the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Dentistry (UAB SOD) is a comprehensive research-training program focused on the development of an innovative, integrated, multi-disciplinary approach to produce a cadre of well-trained, skilled, collaborative scientists and clinician scientists that are capable to address the critical dental, oral and craniofacial research issues of our nation. This renewal is a continuation of our NIDCR T-90 (DE022736) /R90 (DE023056) DART Training Program that was built on our prior T-32 DART Program (DE017607-05). Furthermore, our training experience is the culmination of prior successful NIDCR T32 Research Training programs: Post-doctoral Training in Oral Health (T32-DE14300); Post-Doctoral Training in Caries Research (T32-DE007026); and a Short-Term Research Training for Health Professional Students (T35-DK07545; funded for over forty years). This robust experience has led to a successful innovative training program designed to enhance the knowledge of dentists, graduate students, dual degree (DMD/PhD) students, and postdoctoral fellows in basic, clinical, and translational research providing a pathway to productive, independent dental academic careers with unique acquired skill sets in grantsmanship and leadership. The DART Program offers four training tracks: Track I- DMD/Ph.D; Track II- Pre-doctoral Ph.D.; Track III- Post-doctoral training for foreign trained dentists; and Track IV- Post-doctoral training. Integrative DART core experiences include: 1) Presentation skills; 2) Research knowledge; 3) Leadership and Networking development; 4) Responsible Conduct of Research training; 5) Grant Writing skills; and 6) Individualized Development Plans. The primary objective of the DART is to provide a broadened interdisciplinary research experience for exceptionally motivated trainees in a research-intensive collaborative academic university environment. Research training is provided in one of the SOD's five programmatic research themes: 1) Microbiology/Immunology; 2) Craniofacial Genetics/Developmental Biology; 3) Biomaterial Science/ Biomimetics; 4) Orofacial Cancers; and 5) Implementation Science/Clinical Outcomes Research. The UAB SOD is uniquely positioned to provide training for the next generation of academicians since we are ranked among the top ten in NIDCR research funding and host the NIDCR National Dental Practice Based Research Network (U19-DE022736). The SOD is an integral component of a major southeast regional health science center with a “Highest Research Activity” Carnegie Classification.
