Multidisciplinary Rheumatology Training Program

项目摘要 约翰霍普金斯T32多学科流变学培训计划（MRTP）的长期目标 大学的目标是培养和发展一批优秀的流变学家和科学家， 为风湿病患者提供更多的知识和改善预后， 成为整个生物医学研究企业的领导者。这一目标直接关系到NIAMS 使命是支持对研究人员进行病因、治疗和预防研究的培训 关节炎和肌肉骨骼疾病。 这将通过以下具体目标来实现：（1）提供严格的指导， 研究方法博士后研究员，适用于临床，翻译和基础的行为 研究;（2）利用卓越的临床中心访问定义明确的风湿性疾病患者 人口，使受训者项目能够在已建立的患者队列中迅速启动;（3）提供访问 优秀的资源和方法和分析专业知识，促进研究的成功;（4） 让学员参与高素质的合作研究项目，解决重要的问题和测试 在全国知名的多学科项目教师的监督下提出有意义的假设;（5） 为每位学员提供多层次和个性化的指导，以发展有意义的奖学金 和一个成功的调查生涯;（6）评估本计划的成果，并作出修改， 最大限度地取得成功。 在本提案中，我们展示了我们开发的出色的临床和转化基础设施， 支持培训和研究。这种基础设施包括高生产力的计划教师和导师， 充满活力的部门间合作和多学科调查小组，一个强大的机构 致力于在约翰霍普金斯大学进行流变学博士后培训， 候选人 体验的核心是初级导师、共同导师和受训者之间的密切关系 围绕具体的研究项目。这是由个人发展计划，正式的课程工作， 核心会议。我们的学员教育包括负责任的研究行为，职业生涯 规划、资助金撰写和手稿准备。临床科学的博士后实习生也可以获得 健康科学硕士学位。 该计划结合了多学科矩阵内的单一调查领域的强化培训 合作。只有博士后研究员有资格参加T32 MRTP，该项目将支持4名博士后 每年培训一次，每次为期1-3年。一个广泛的培训机会将提供一个 由个人，合作和机构间研究赠款支持的教师大型互动网络。

Project Summary The long-term objective of the T32 Multidisciplinary Rheumatology Training Program (MRTP) at Johns Hopkins University is to train and develop a cadre of outstanding rheumatologists and scientists who will advance knowledge and improve outcomes for people living with rheumatic disease, and who will become leaders across the biomedical research enterprise. This goal is directly relevant to the NIAMS mission to support the training of investigators conducting research into the causes, treatment, and prevention of arthritis and musculoskeletal diseases. This will be accomplished through the following Specific Aims: (1) Provide rigorous instruction in investigational methods to postdoctoral fellows, applicable to the conduct of clinical, translational, and basic research; (2) Utilize clinical centers of excellence to access well-defined rheumatic disease patient populations, enabling trainee projects to be rapidly initiated on established patient cohorts; (3) Provide access to outstanding resources and methodologic and analytic expertise that facilitate research success; (4) Engage trainees in high caliber collaborative research projects that address important questions and test meaningful hypotheses under the supervision of nationally-renowned multi-disciplinary program faculty; (5) Integrate multi-layered and individualized mentorship for each trainee to develop meaningful scholarship and a successful investigative career; (6) Assess the outcomes of this program and make modifications to maximize its success. In this proposal, we demonstrate the outstanding clinical and translational infrastructure we have developed to support training and research. This infrastructure includes highly productive program faculty and mentors, vibrant interdepartmental collaborations and multidisciplinary investigative teams, a robust institutional commitment to postdoctoral training in rheumatology at Johns Hopkins, and a robust pool of trainee candidates. The core of the experience is the close relationship between a primary mentor, co-mentors, and the trainee around specific research projects. This is supplemented by individual development plans, formal course work, and core conferences. Our trainees’ education includes training in the responsible research conduct, career planning, grant writing, and manuscript preparation. Postdoctoral trainees in the clinical sciences can also earn a Masters in Health Sciences Degree. This program combines intensive training in a single area of investigation within a matrix of multidisciplinary collaborations. Only post-doctoral fellows are eligible for the T32 MRTP, which will support 4 post-doctoral trainees annually, each for a period of 1-3 years. A wide range of training opportunities will be provided by a large interactive network of faculty supported by individual, collaborative, and inter-institutional research grants.
