DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The immunologist of tomorrow must appreciate both basic and clinical immunology to effectively utilize modern tools of research in the pursuit of new knowledge about immune-mediated and infectious diseases and their pathogenesis as well as for development of new vaccines and therapies against immune-mediated diseases. Training the scientist and the physician-scientist in immunology and its relationship to infectious diseases as well as other related disciplines such as pathology, biochemistry, and biotechnology will be imperative for the future of immunological sciences. To facilitate the distribution of knowledge in the field of immunology, the Department of Microbiology and Immunology Training Program (ITP) plan to train 6 pre-doctoral and 3 postdoctoral fellows with an immunology faculty of 17 preceptors. The program is unique in that it encompasses faculty from the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center and the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation. The faculty are particularly strong in the 4 subdisciplines emphasized in the ITP, which include Immune Responses to Pathogens, Lymphocyte Development and Signaling, Inflammation, and Autoimmunity. The faculty preceptors have interacted on the OUHSC campus for years, forming a network that is particularly suited to train a cohesive group of pre and postdoctoral fellows in molecular immunology. The program recruits students and fellows from national and international sources, has strong NIH funded research programs, and has new faculty and facilities, all of which foster an atmosphere of excellence in training. The predoctoral students will be eligible for the training program after completion of their lab rotations and qualifying exam. The ITP will provide in-depth enrichment in the 4 subdisciplines to the pre-doctoral and postdoctoral trainees through immunology classes and retreats. Postdoctoral fellows are strongly encouraged to take coursework and to mentor predoctoral students to enhance their immunology background. The ITP advisory committee will advise the trainees as to selection of courses, research, and will prepare the trainees for future careers in immunology.

描述（由申请人提供）：未来的免疫学家必须了解基础和临床免疫学，以有效利用现代研究工具来追求有关免疫介导和传染病及其发病机制的新知识，以及开发针对免疫介导疾病的新疫苗和疗法。对科学家和医师科学家进行免疫学及其与传染病的关系以及病理学、生物化学和生物技术等其他相关学科的培训对于免疫学的未来至关重要。为了促进免疫学领域知识的传播，微生物学和免疫学系培训计划（ITP）计划培训 6 名博士前研究员和 3 名博士后研究员以及由 17 名导师组成的免疫学教师。该项目的独特之处在于它包括来自俄克拉荷马大学健康科学中心和俄克拉荷马大学的教师 医学研究基金会。该学院的师资队伍在 ITP 强调的 4 个子学科方面尤其强大，其中包括对病原体的免疫反应、淋巴细胞发育和信号传导、 炎症和自身免疫。教授们在 OUHSC 校园内互动多年，形成了一个特别适合培养分子免疫学领域有凝聚力的博士前和博士后团队的网络。该项目从国内外招募学生和研究员，拥有强大的 NIH 资助的研究项目，并拥有新的师资和设施，所有这些都营造了卓越的培训氛围。博士前学生在完成实验室轮转和资格考试后将有资格参加培训计划。 ITP将通过免疫学课程和静修活动，为博士前和博士后学员提供4个子学科的深入拓展。强烈鼓励博士后研究员参加课程并指导博士前学生以增强他们的免疫学背景。 ITP 咨询委员会将为学员提供课程选择、研究方面的建议，并为学员未来从事免疫学职业做好准备。
