Dental Academic Research Training Program (DART)

摘要：亚拉巴马大学牙科学术研究培训（DART）计划， 伯明翰牙科学院（UAB SOD）是一个综合性的研究培训计划，专注于 制定一种创新的、综合的、多学科的方法，以培养一支训练有素的、 熟练的，协作的科学家和临床科学家，能够解决关键的牙科，口腔， 和颅面研究的问题。这次更新是我们的NIDCR T-90的延续 （DE 022736）/R90（DE 023056）DART培训计划，建立在我们之前的T-32 DART计划基础上 （DE017607-05）。此外，我们的培训经验是先前成功的NIDCR T32的顶峰。 研究培训计划：口腔健康博士后培训（T32-DE 14300）;博士后培训 在龋齿研究（T32-DE 007026）;和健康专业学生的短期研究培训 （T35-DK 07545;资助超过四十年）。这种强大的经验导致了成功的创新 培训计划旨在提高牙医的知识，研究生，双学位 (DMD/博士）的学生和博士后研究员在基础，临床和转化研究提供了一个 途径生产，独立的牙科学术事业与独特的后天技能集， 优雅和领导力。 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;第三轨道- 为外国受训牙医提供博士后培训;以及第四轨道-博士后培训。综合DART 核心经验包括：1）演讲技巧; 2）研究知识; 3）领导力和网络 发展; 4）负责任的研究行为培训; 5）拨款写作技能;和6）个性化 发展规划DART的主要目标是提供一个广泛的跨学科研究 在一所研究密集型合作学术大学中为特别积极的学员提供经验 环境研究培训是在SOD的五个纲领性研究主题之一：1） 微生物学/免疫学; 2）颅面遗传学/发育生物学; 3）生物材料科学/ 仿生学; 4）口面部癌症;和5）实施科学/临床结果研究。UAB的 SOD是独特的定位，为下一代院士提供培训，因为我们是排名 在NIDCR研究经费的前十名，并主办NIDCR国家牙科实践为基础的 研究网络（U19-DE 022736）。SOD是一个重要的东南区域的组成部分， 健康科学中心与“最高的研究活动”卡内基分类。

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.
