Postdoctoral Training Program in Trauma

项目摘要 德克萨斯大学休斯顿健康科学中心（UTHealth）寻求第三次更新其成功的 多学科博士后Ruth L. Kirschstein国家研究服务奖（NRSA） 创伤、烧伤和围手术期损伤研究培训补助金（T32）。该培训补助金的目标是 为创伤博士后提供多学科的研究培训，以发展未来的独立 研究人员将在研究密集型和研究相关的职业中使用这些技能， 了解创伤性损伤的机制，并为临床实践提供信息。为了实现这些目标， 我们的计划招募和选择博士后候选人谁有兴趣在追求学术生涯， 为期两年的职位，每个日历年进行创伤相关研究。在两年的培训结束时，每个 研究员能够：1）批判性地分析可用的已发表数据; 2）制定一个重点假设; 3）设计和 进行必要的实验来验证假设; 4）分析解释结果以得出适当的结论。 结论和潜在的修改实验策略; 5）有效地提出他们的研究结果 口头和书面; 6）准备一份有竞争力的研究计划。超过15年，52%（10/19）的 完成培训的研究员目前在研究密集型或相关职业岗位上，52%的研究员目前在研究密集型或相关职业岗位上， 研究员获得独立资助。过去，该奖项产生了208种出版物 10年自2001年创建以来，这个T32培训计划已经发展，最近新的元素已经 我们的目标是促进和集中我们的培训工作。在拟议的方案计划中，我们保持了全球 创伤主题，特别关注复苏、创伤性脑损伤和器官损伤/功能障碍， 增加了一个新的和发展中的重点领域烧伤。交叉专业领域包括护理质量， 信息学、干细胞和创新/创业。约翰·霍尔科姆博士仍然是项目主任， 培训计划，他是由指导委员会的9名成员谁带来不同的专业知识协助 和丰富的指导经验。领导层接受外部咨询委员会的指导。每个 受训人员有一名主要导师，负责确保学员接受适当培训， 有效、道德和信息丰富的实验项目。资源学院成员名单可供 协助项目执行。总之，这种全面的方法确保了一个全面的，多样化的 教师将协助和指导这些年轻的科学家沿着道路学术独立和重大 帮助照顾受伤的病人。

Project Summary The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) seeks a third renewal of its successful multidisciplinary postdoctoral Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) Institutional Research Training Grant (T32) in trauma, burns and peri-operative injury. The goal of this training grant is to provide multidisciplinary research training for postdoctorates in trauma to develop future independent investigators who will use these skills in research-intensive and research-related careers that increase understanding of the mechanisms of traumatic injury and inform clinical practice. To accomplish these goals, our program recruits and selects postdoctoral candidates who are interested in pursuing an academic career in trauma-related research each calendar year for two-year positions. At the end of the two years of training, each fellow is able to: 1) critically analyze available published data; 2) formulate a focused hypothesis; 3) design and perform necessary experiments to test the hypothesis; 4) analyze interpret results to draw appropriate conclusions and potentially modify experimental strategies; 5) effectively present the results of their research both orally and in writing; and 6) prepare a competitive research proposal. Over 15 years, 52% (10/19) of fellows who completed their training are currently in research intensive or related careers positions and 52% fellows have been awarded independent funding. 208 publications have resulted from the award over the past 10 years. Since its creation in 2001, this T32 training program has evolved, and recently new elements have been added to advance and focus our training efforts. In the proposed program plan, we have kept the global theme of trauma with particular focus on resuscitation, traumatic brain injury, and organ injury/dysfunction and added a new and developing focus area of burns. Cross-cutting areas of specialization include quality of care, informatics, stem cells, and innovation/entrepreneurship. Dr. John Holcomb remains the Program Director of the training program and he is assisted by 9 members of the Steering Committee who bring varied expertise and vast mentoring experience. The leadership receives guidance from an External Advisory Committee. Each trainee has a Primary Mentor who is responsible for ensuring that fellows receive appropriate training to design effective, ethical and informative experimental projects. A list of Resource Faculty members are available to assist in project execution. Taken together, this comprehensive approach ensures that a well-rounded, diverse faculty will assist and guide these young scientists along the path to academic independence and significant contributions to the care of injured patients.
