Predoctoral Research Training in Maternal and Pediatric Pharmacology

描述（由申请人提供）：加州大学圣地亚哥分校（UCSD）斯卡格斯药学院（SSPPS）母婴药理学博士前研究培训的目标是为健康科学（药学和医学）博士前学生提供综合教育和实践指导的短期儿科研究培训经验。我们的目标是为感兴趣的学生提供精心挑选的导师和重点项目，以使12周的经验富有成效。此外，该培训计划旨在培养对药学博士/博士学位组合的兴趣。双学位课程。培训资助学院开展的研究从分子结构的计算分析，到细胞和分子药理学，到人类受试者临床研究，到药物经济学和卫生服务成果研究，以及对教育计划和药学实践研究的传播/实施的研究。在这一广泛的研究活动范围内，创新药物发现和药物开发以及改进和创新药物在儿科和成人人群中的治疗用途是强有力的潜在主题。培训学院将促进这些短期研究培训机会，并指导药学和医学学生进行感兴趣的项目。学生将提交一份书面提案，这将作为申请的基础。申请将由培训计划的教师进行审查和排名，在该计划的第一年将选出5名学员，在稳定状态下将增加到10名学员。在为期12周的暑期实习中，所有受训者将与培训项目的教师一起参加每周一次的儿科主题研讨会，在那里学生可以熟悉儿科药物治疗主题，展示他们在研究项目上的进展，并寻求同行和领导核心教师的帮助。在短期研究培训经历结束后，学生将被要求参加加州大学圣地亚哥分校的秋季研究论坛。学生也将被鼓励提交他们的项目供同行评审，在国家科学会议上展示，并在生物医学杂志上发表。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences (SSPPS) Predoctoral Research Training in Maternal and Pediatric Pharmacology is to provide an integrated educational and practical mentored short-term pediatric research training experience for predoctoral students in the Health Sciences (Pharmacy and Medicine). Our goal is to provide interested Students with carefully selected mentors and focused projects to allow for productive 12 week experiences. Further, this Training Program seeks to foster interest in the combined Pharm.D./Ph.D. dual degree program. Research carried out by Training Grant faculty extends from computational analysis of molecular structures, to cellular and molecular pharmacology, to human subjects clinical research, to pharmacoeconomics and health services outcomes research, and into research of educational programs and dissemination/implementation of pharmacy practice research. Within this broad sphere of research activity are strong underlying themes in innovative drug discovery and drug development, and improved and innovative therapeutic uses of drugs in pediatric and adult populations. Training Faculty will promote these short-term research training opportunities, and guide pharmacy and medical students towards projects of interest. The student will submit a written proposal, which will serve as the basis of the application. Applications will be reviewed and ranked by Training Program faculty, and 5 trainees will be selected in the first year of this program, increasing to 10 trainees at steady-state. During the 12-week, summer experience, all trainees will meet as a group with the Training Program faculty for a weekly Pediatric Topics seminar where the students can become familiar with pediatric pharmacotherapy topics, present their progress on the research projects, and seek assistance from peers and the Leadership Core faculty. At the conclusion of the short-term research training experience, the students will be required to participate in the Fall Quarter Research Forum at UCSD. Students will also be encouraged to submit their projects for peer review and presentation at national scientific meetings, and for publication in a biomedical journal. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE (See instructions): Trainees learn basic and clinical science and do cutting edge research that leads to an understanding of how the drug discovery and development processes work, how to improve patient and healthcare outcomes, how to increase cost-effectiveness of therapy, and how to improve medication safety in vulnerable populations.
