Infectious Disease Pathogenesis Research Training Program

项目概要/摘要 北卡罗来纳州大学的传染病发病机制研究培训项目， 查佩尔山将支持每年培训四名博士后研究员。这是一个非常成功的 计划，现在40年，发展必要的科学专业知识，以揭示新的知识， 传染病的发病机理和控制，以及使生物医学 一群经过精心挑选的受训者的进步。从历史上看，该计划培训了大约相同数量的 MD或MD-PhD和博士研究人员，因为我们认为这是该计划的特殊优势， 翻译研究者 该计划受益于来自医学院和公立学校的培训导师的技能， 健康，和独特的大学和培育环境的学校。有些学员会选择接收 公共卫生方法的正式培训。所有学员都将参加 研究课程。在本申请中，我们报告了37名博士后研究员（25名博士，8名医学博士，4名 在过去的15年里，包括14名妇女和4名代表不足的少数民族科学家。最 受训人员自离开该计划以来取得了很大的进步，并获得了校外联邦 资助他们的研究。在这次更新中，我们选择了新的教师，代表 传染病社区的发展和演变，以及令人兴奋的新研究领域。我们 提供广泛的研究机会，包括新出现的病原体，以及广泛的资源， 促进翻译研究。学员还将受益于大大扩大的研究空间和机会 在校园里，随着微软继续发展和招募世界级的科学家。总之，我们相信导师们， 学员和环境非常适合支持应用程序的目标，并且正在进行的关键 传染病的发病机理和流行病学的研究问题。

Program Summary / Abstract The Infectious Disease Pathogenesis Research Training Program at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will support the training of four postdoctoral fellows per year. This has been a highly successful program, now for 40 years, developing the scientific expertise necessary to reveal new knowledge in the pathogenesis and control of infectious diseases, and the professional skills needed to make biomedical advances in a group of highly selected trainees. Historically, the Program has trained a roughly equal number of MD or MD-PhD, and PhD investigators, as we have felt it the particular strength of this Program to develop translational investigators. The Program has benefitted from the skills of training mentors from the Schools of Medicine and Public Health, and the uniquely collegial and nurturing environment of UNC. Some trainees will choose to receive formal training in methods of public health. All trainees will participate in the Responsible Conduct of Research course. In this application we report on the training of 37 postdoctoral fellows (25 PhDs, 8 MDs, 4 MD/PhDs) in the past 15 years, including 14 women and four underrepresented minority scientist. Most trainees have made excellent progress since leaving the Program, and have received extramural federal funding to support their research. In this renewal we have included selected new faculty, representing the growth and evolution of the infectious disease community at UNC, and exciting new areas of research. We offer a broad range of research opportunities, including emerging pathogens, and extensive resources to facilitate translational studies. Trainees will also benefit from greatly expanded research space and opportunity on campus, as UNC continues to grow and recruit world-class scientist. In summary, we believe the mentors, the trainees and the environment are well suited to support the goals of the application, and ongoing critical research issues in the pathogenesis and epidemiology of infectious diseases.
