Research Training Prog in Reproductive Biol & Med for Latin American Scientists

弗吉尼亚联邦大学（VCD）和智利大学将联合提供翻译研究 为来自整个拉丁美洲的年轻科学家提供生殖生物学培训。潜在学员将 向智利大学提交申请，智利大学将负责筛选，面试， 选择方案参与者。资格将基于完成博士学位要求（加上 医学博士候选人的临床培训）在过去5年内;研究兴趣领域（与公众相关性 本国生殖医学的保健优先事项）;承诺返回本国， 建立研究计划和推荐信。学员将完成1-2年的课程， 在智利大学进行实验室培训，然后来到VCU进行1-3年的强化辅导 研究项目。每年将在智利支持2名学员，在美国支持1名学员。在VCU，学员将 完成一个专门针对国际研究人员需求的NIH资助写作研讨会，该研讨会将向 所有福格蒂人口科学培训计划的参与者;这个研讨会将被转换为一个在线 远程教育课程由VCU和智利主持人领导的其他远程教育课程将 涵盖培训导师所涵盖的研究领域，包括多囊卵巢综合征和胰岛素 抵抗，早产，先兆子痫，胎膜破裂，细胞信号，淋病疫苗 发育、类固醇生成和促进健康妊娠。负责任行为的培训 将在智利大学和VCU提供研究，并提供实用的科学管理技能 （做出正确的举动）将被教导，使学员能够了解如何最好地与研究人员合作， 美国机构以及他们如何在家庭环境中应用这些技能。其他浓缩活动包括 每周一次的内分泌大圆桌会议、期刊俱乐部、临床会议和实验室头脑风暴; a 每月访问教授系列;以及关于基本内分泌学研究和妇女保健的年度研讨会。 健康研究。将采用一个附有可衡量成果指标的详细评价计划， 该计划的成功，参与的受训人员，以及参与的研究导师。的学员 在VCU完成他们的指导研究将有资格获得每年高达5000美元的重新入学补助金， 3年（继续资助取决于在本国完成生产性研究）。

Virginia Commonwealth University (VCD) and the University of Chile will jointly offer translational research training in reproductive biology to junior scientists from throughout Latin America. Potential trainees will submit applications to the University of Chile, which will be responsible for screening, interviewing, and selecting program participants. Eligibility will be based on completion of doctoral degree requirements (plus clinical training for MD candidates) within the past 5 years; area of research interest (relevance to public health priorities in reproductive medicine in their home country); commitment to return to home country to establish research program; and letters of reference. Trainees will complete 1-2 years of coursework and laboratory training at the University of Chile before coming to VCU to conduct a 1-3 year intensive mentored research project. Each year, 2 trainees will be supported in Chile and 1 in the US. While at VCU, trainees will complete an NIH grant-writing workshop tailored to the needs of international researchers that will be open to all Fogarty population science training program participants; this workshop will be converted to an online distance education course. Additional distance education offerings led by presenters from VCU and Chile will cover research areas covered by training mentors, including polycystic ovary syndrome and insulin resistance, preterm birth, pre-eclampsia, fetal membrane rupture, cell signaling, gonorrhea vaccine development, steroidogenesis, and promotion of healthy pregnancy. Training in the responsible conduct of research will be provided at both the University of Chile and VCU, and practical scientific management skills (Making the Right Moves) will be taught so trainees can understand how best to partner with researchers at US institutions and how they can apply these skills in their home setting. Other enrichment activities include Endocrine Grand Rounds, Journal Club, Clinical Conference, and lab brainstorming on a weekly basis; a monthly Visiting Professor series; and annual seminars on basic endocrinology research and women's health research. A detailed evaluation plan with measurable outcome indicators will be used to track the success of the program, of trainees who participate, and of research mentors involved. Trainees who complete their mentored research at VCU will be eligible for a re-entry grant of up to $5000 per year for up to 3 years (continued funding contingent on completion of productive research in their home country).
