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 to other related disciplines such as pathology, biochemistry, cell biology and biotechnology will be crucial for the future of immunological sciences. To facilitate the distribution of knowledge in the field of immunology, the Immunology Training Program goals are to provide fundamental and research training to 4 predoctoral and 2 postdoctoral fellows with an immunology faculty of 20 preceptors. The program is unique in that it encompasses faculty from the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences and the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation as well as its strong focus on microbial as well as host immunology. The participating training faculty are particularly strong in the 4 subdisciplines emphasized in the Immunology Training Program, which include 1) Responses to Pathogens, 2) Lymphocyte Development and Signaling, 3) Inflammation, and 4) 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 are eligible for the training program after completion of their lab rotations and qualifying exam. The Immunology Training Program will provide in-depth enrichment in the 4 subdisciplines to the pre 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 experience. The Immunology Training Program advisory and selection committee selects the pre and postdoctoral trainees and acts in an advisory capacity. Since the beginning of the program September 1, 2001, the objectives of the program are being met to provide excellence in research, immunology course work, an immunology retreat, and an immunology journal club class for the trainees. The yearly interactive immunology retreat as well as the Immunology Journal Club class have been effective in bringing the pre and postdoctoral fellows together with the training faculty in an environment that fosters excellence. Our program has been and will continue to be important to prepare trainees for future careers in immunology.

描述（由申请人提供）：明天的免疫学家必须欣赏基本和临床免疫学，以有效利用现代研究工具来追求新的 有关免疫介导和传染病的知识及其发病机理以及针对免疫介导的疾病的新疫苗和疗法的开发。培训科学家和医师科学家免疫学及其与传染病的关系 以及其他相关学科，例如病理学，生物化学，生物学和生物技术，对免疫科学的未来至关重要。为了促进免疫学领域的知识分布，免疫学培训计划的目标是为4个托管前和2个博士后研究员提供基本和研究培训，并具有20个受体的免疫学教职员工。该计划的独特之处在于它涵盖了俄克拉荷马大学健康科学和俄克拉荷马州医学研究基金会的教师，以及其对微生物和宿主免疫学的强烈关注。在免疫学培训计划中强调的4个子学科中，参与的培训教师特别强大，其中包括1）对病原体的反应，2）淋巴细胞发育和信号传导，3）炎症和4）自身免疫。多年来，教职员工已经在OUHSC校园进行了互动，该网络特别适合于分子免疫学中训练一组凝聚力的前和博士后研究员组。该计划招募了来自国家和国际资源的学生和研究员，拥有强大的NIH资助研究计划，并拥有新的教职员工和设施，所有这些都促进了培训的卓越氛围。专业学生在完成实验室轮换和合格考试后，有资格参加培训计划。免疫学培训计划将通过免疫学课程和务虚会在前和博士后学员中为4个子学科提供深入的富集。强烈鼓励博士后研究员参加课程工作，并指导专业学生，以增强其免疫学经验。免疫学培训计划咨询和选拔委员会选择了学前和博士后学员，并以咨询身份行事。自计划开始于2001年9月1日以来，该计划的目标是为了提供卓越的研究，免疫学课程工作，免疫学务虚会和受训者的免疫学期刊俱乐部课程。年度交互式免疫学务虚会以及《免疫学期刊俱乐部课程》在将培训学院与培训教师一起融合在一起，在促进卓越的环境中。我们的计划已经并且将继续对学员为未来的免疫学职业做好准备。
