DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a resubmission for a new research-training program in Allergy/Immunology at the Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School. The goal of this training program is to train MD, MD/PhD and PhD post-doctoral fellows for independent investigative careers in Allergy/Immunology research. Our program will center on our highly successful pre-existing clinical fellowship in Adult and Pediatric Allergy/Immunology and our strong laboratory programs in basic science allergy and immunology research. There have been significant changes in the Allergy/Immunology Unit at the MGH over the last five years with important implications for our training program. After 24 years as Chief of the Allergy/Immunology Unit, Dr. Kurt Bloch retired, and in 2000, Dr. Andrew Luster was appointed Chief of a new Division of Rheumatology, Allergy and Immunology (DRAI) at the MGH. The impetus for this new initiative was to develop a Division within the Department of Medicine that would focus on the immunological and inflammatory basis of human disease. To accomplish this goal, the Center for Immunology and Inflammatory Diseases (CUD) was established, which Dr. Luster directs, as part of the DRAI, to serve as the basic science foundation for the Division. The goal of this Allergy/Immunology training program is to provide supervised laboratory research under the guidance of accomplished faculty members, along with structured training in immunology, molecular biology, genetics and ethical issues through courses and conferences. We have included only outstanding highly accomplished mentors with laboratories at MGH that are actively involved in basic science immunology research. Altogether, eight faculty members participate in this Allergy/Immunology training program as laboratory mentors, and five faculty members participate in the training program as clinical mentors. The participation of these faculty members offers an outstanding training opportunity in Allergy/Immunology research. We believe that we have created a balanced, integrated training program that will offer high quality training in laboratory science research in Allergy/Immunology that successfully integrates both MD and PhD trainees and basic science and clinical faculty. A T32 training program would have a dramatic effect on the Allergy/Immunology program at MGH and is critical to complete the transformation of this program from an excellent clinical program to a program that will produce the next generation of physician-scientists and PhD scientists committed to Allergy/Immunology research.

描述（由申请人提供）：这是哈佛医学院马萨诸塞州总医院过敏/免疫学新研究培训项目的重新提交。该培训计划的目标是培养医学博士，医学博士/博士和博士博士后研究员在过敏/免疫学研究的独立调查职业。我们的计划将集中在我们在成人和儿童过敏/免疫学方面非常成功的现有临床奖学金以及我们在基础科学过敏和免疫学研究方面的强大实验室计划。在过去的五年里，MGH的过敏/免疫学单位发生了重大变化，对我们的培训计划产生了重要影响。在担任过敏/免疫科科长24年后，库尔特·布洛赫博士退休，2000年，安德鲁·卢斯特博士被任命为MGH新设的流变学、过敏和免疫学（DRAI）科科长。这一新举措的推动力是在医学系内建立一个部门，专注于人类疾病的免疫学和炎症基础。为了实现这一目标，免疫学和炎症性疾病中心（CUD）成立，Luster博士指导，作为DRAI的一部分，作为该部门的基础科学基础。该过敏/免疫学培训计划的目标是在有成就的教职员工的指导下提供监督的实验室研究，沿着通过课程和会议进行免疫学，分子生物学，遗传学和伦理问题的结构化培训。 我们只包括杰出的高度成就的导师，他们在MGH的实验室积极参与基础科学免疫学研究。总共有八名教员作为实验室导师参加了这个过敏/免疫学培训计划，五名教员作为临床导师参加了培训计划。这些教师的参与提供了一个杰出的培训机会，在过敏/免疫学研究。我们相信，我们已经创建了一个平衡的，综合的培训计划，将提供高质量的培训，在实验室科学研究中的过敏/免疫学，成功地整合了医学博士和博士生和基础科学和临床教师。T32培训计划将对MGH的过敏/免疫学计划产生巨大影响，并且对于完成该计划从优秀的临床计划转变为将产生下一代致力于过敏/免疫学研究的医生科学家和博士科学家的计划至关重要。
