DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A long-term goal of the Department of Dermatology at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center is to produce scientific leaders in skin biology and skin disease. To sustain this goal, we propose a new Dermatology Research Training Program that will continue to recruit MD/PhD or MD candidates from dermatology residency applicants as early as the residency match. The experiences of at least 3 alumni who have received federal grants and our general success in having all trainees who start the program finish it, with subsequent positioning into academic and industry appointments, amplify the merits of current policy that includes: (1) selecting candidates with proven scientific achievements and strong potential for independent investigation; (2) a physician-scientist track which trains for 2 yrs in clinical dermatology and then 2 yrs in laboratory-based research; and (3) preceptorship under the tutelage of outstanding faculty from our Graduate School of Biosciences. The program will be administered by a director and supported by a co-director, coordinator, and advisors. We gathered 28 potential preceptors, each with NIH R01 grants and a record of effective mentoring and meaningful interactions with dermatology personnel. They include a Nobel laureate and 9 members of the National Academy of Sciences. Our preceptors' publications, in the aggregate, rate a high mean H-index of 42. Core curricula, advisory panels, and departmental and institutional support for trainees are outlined. Extramural review of the program by 2 experienced investigators/administrators and a successful program alumnus is discussed. For the near future, we have recruited and are committed to train 3 extraordinarily gifted MD/PhDs, 2 of whom hail from under-represented groups. If funded, the T32 mechanism will provide financial certainty to their training and sustain our long-term goal.

描述（由申请人提供）：德克萨斯大学西南医学中心皮肤科的长期目标是培养皮肤生物学和皮肤病方面的科学领导者。为了维持这一目标，我们提出了一个新的皮肤病学研究培训计划，将继续从皮肤病学住院医师申请人中招募MD/PhD或MD候选人。至少3名获得联邦赠款的校友的经历，以及我们在让所有开始该计划的学员完成该计划方面的总体成功，以及随后在学术和行业中的定位，放大了当前政策的优点，包括：（1）选择具有公认的科学成就和独立调查潜力的候选人;（2）一个医生科学家轨道，培训2年的临床皮肤病学，然后2年的实验室为基础的研究;和（3）preceptorship下的杰出教师从我们的生物科学研究生院的监护。该计划将由一名主任管理，并由一名联合主任，协调员和顾问提供支持。我们收集了28个潜在的导师，每个人都有NIH R 01赠款，并与皮肤科人员进行了有效的指导和有意义的互动。其中包括一名诺贝尔奖获得者和9名美国国家科学院院士。我们的导师的出版物，在总体上，评级高的平均H指数为42。报告概述了核心课程、咨询小组以及对受训人员的部门和机构支助。讨论了由2名经验丰富的调查员/管理员和一名成功的计划校友对该计划的校外审查。在不久的将来，我们已经招募并致力于培养3名非常有天赋的MD/PhD，其中2名来自代表性不足的群体。如果得到资助，T32机制将为他们的培训提供财政确定性，并维持我们的长期目标。
