PROJECT SUMMARY / ABSTRACT This is a renewal application for a K12 grant to continue support for the Buffalo Oral-Research and Specialty Training (BORST) Program, an integrated research training program based in the School of Dental Medicine at the University at Buffalo (UB). The overarching objective of BORST is to foster the development of dental specialist-scientist scholars focused on oral, dental and craniofacial research. To accomplish this goal, BORST offers mentored, interdisciplinary research training opportunities in oral health, craniofacial biology and bioengineering. BORST provides a strong curriculum and thematic research experiences in an integrative framework that emphasizes mentoring, scientific advancement, academic career development, grantsmanship, and productivity. This K12 application requests support for dentists to engage in clinical specialty training and PhD research training for dentist-scientists in basic, translational or bioengineering sciences important to dental, oral or craniofacial health. BORST is an integral part of the School of Dental Medicine that engages faculty and trainees/scholars in other disciplines and departments in the School of Medicine and Bioengineering at UB. Mentoring and career development activities are thematically grouped into 5 strategic areas of research focus: (i) immunology and innate defenses, (ii) relationship of oral pathogens to systemic disease, (iii) saliva and salivary glands, (iv) microbial pathogenesis of oral organisms, and (v) bone and connective tissues/tissue engineering. BORST benefits from outstanding and time-tested administrative support systems and institutional commitment that will provide continued support to the Department of Oral Biology. The BORST Program will support two postdoctoral scholars each year of the award who will engage in this combined career development program. The goal for the BORST Program is to provide early career development for talented dentists who wish to pursue research and academic careers as dental specialists with a PhD. An integrated, multi-year evaluation plan will be used to measure the extent to which BORST goals and objectives are met. The resulting scholars will be well prepared to engage in meaningful basic and/or translational oral health research.

项目摘要 /摘要 这是K12赠款的续签申请，以继续支持水牛口头研究和专业 培训（BORST）计划，一项基于牙科医学学院的综合研究培训计划 布法罗大学（UB）。 Borst的总体目标是促进牙齿的发展 专业科学家学者专注于口头，牙齿和颅面研究。为了实现这一目标， 提供指导的，跨学科的研究培训机会，口腔健康，颅面生物学和 生物工程。 Borst在综合性中提供了强大的课程和主题研究经验 强调指导，科学进步，学术职业发展，授予技巧的框架， 和生产力。该K12申请要求牙医提供支持，以进行临床专业培训和 牙医科学家在基础，转化或生物工程科学领域的博士研究培训对 牙齿，口服或颅面健康。 Borst是参与牙科医学学院不可或缺的一部分 医学院其他学科和部门的教师和学者和学者 UB的生物工程。指导和职业发展活动主题分为5个战略 研究领域重点：（i）免疫学和先天防御，（ii）口腔病原体与系统性的关系 疾病，（iii）唾液和唾液腺，（iv）口腔生物的微生物发病机理，以及（v）骨骼和 结缔组织/组织工程。 BORST受益于未来和经过时间考验的行政 支持系统和机构承诺，将为口头提供持续支持 生物学。 BORST计划每年将支持两名奖学金的博士后学者 在这个合并的职业发展计划中。 BORST计划的目标是提供早期职业 希望从事研究和学术职业作为牙科专家的才华横溢的牙医的发展 拥有博士学位。一项综合的多年评估计划将用于衡量目标的程度 和目标得到满足。由此产生的学者将做好充分的准备，以进行有意义的基本和/或 翻译口腔健康研究。
