项目总结 神经内分泌学和新陈代谢是一系列重大健康问题的核心，包括肥胖、糖尿病、 高血压、心血管疾病、肾脏疾病和不孕不育。在这次修订的续期中，我们已经解决了 在审查我们的续签申请时提出的关切(见导言)，包括加强计划 招募博士生。UVA神经内分泌学研究培训的主要目标是 新陈代谢计划是为明天的博士后提供卓越的，最先进的，博士后研究培训 神经内分泌学和新陈代谢相关领域的基础和临床科学家。请求支持 每年4个博士后培训岗位，面向博士、医学博士或同等资质的青年科学家。我们强烈要求 相信在有经验的导师的指导下，亲身进行深入的研究，一切都在丰富和培养 环境，是我们计划最重要的组成部分。我们提供了广泛的研究曲目 与具有丰富、不同背景的高度协作的导师合作的机会：博士、医学博士和博士 12个不同的部门和部门。这种高质量的指导是长期成功的关键因素。 实习生和培训计划。因此，我们只包括对以下方面表现出热情的导师 培养下一代科学家。研究培训通过结构化的教育得到丰富 旨在传授成功研究所需的全部知识和技能的框架 职业生涯。这是通过为学员提供系统化的、完善的动态计划来实现的，该计划不断地 随着科学进步而发展，例如：研讨会、杂志俱乐部、正在进行的研究、说教 与负责任的行为有关的课程的讲座、资助酿造课程和培训机会 研究和职业发展。行政结构包括一个执行指导委员会，该委员会 指定培训补助金，正式评估每个受训人员的进度，并管理计划设计 和方向。为了确保高水平的监督，计划审查委员会评估行动和 评估方案的执行情况，并就方案改进提出正式建议。这 该计划在培养不同背景的科学家方面有着很好的记录，这些科学家后来建立了 在学术、医疗、制药、政府和生物技术环境中成功的职业生涯，并 获得独立的外部资金，以支持他们的培训。这一强劲的总体记录突显了富人 研究提供的培训机会、敬业的导师和激励的培训环境 神经内分泌学和新陈代谢课程培训。

PROJECT SUMMARY Neuroendocrinology and metabolism are central to a host of major health issues including obesity, diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular illnesses, renal disorders and infertility. In this revised renewal, we have addressed the concerns raised in review of our renewal application (see introduction), including strengthening the program for recruiting PhD candidates. The primary goal of UVA’s Research Training in Neuroendocrinology and Metabolism Program is to provide outstanding, state of the art, postdoctoral research training for tomorrow’s basic and clinical scientists in the inter-linked fields of neuroendocrinology and metabolism. Support is requested for 4 postdoctoral training positions per year, for PhD, MD or equivalently qualified young scientists. We strongly believe that hands-on conduct of in-depth research with an experienced mentor, all within a rich and nurturing environment, is the most important component of our Program. We offer a broad repertoire of research opportunities with highly collaborative mentors with rich, diverse backgrounds: PhDs, MDs, and MD-PhDs from 12 different Divisions and Departments. This high quality of mentorship is the key factor in the long-term success of trainees and the training program. Accordingly, we only include mentors who demonstrate a passion for training the next generation of scientists. Research training is enriched through a structured educational framework designed to impart the full complement of knowledge and skills required for a successful research career. This is achieved by providing trainees with a systematized, well-heeled dynamic program that continually evolves with scientific progress, examples include: Seminars, Journal Club, Research in Progress, Didactic Lectures, Grant Brewing Sessions and opportunities for training in courses related to responsible conduct of research and career development. The administrative structure includes an Executive Steering Committee that makes training grant appointments, formally evaluates each trainee’s progress, and manages Program design and direction. To ensure a high level of oversight, a Program Review Committee assesses the operation and performance of the Program and makes formal recommendations regarding programmatic improvement. This Program has a strong record of training scientists of diverse backgrounds, who have gone on to establish successful careers in academic, medical, pharmaceutical, government, and biotechnology environments and to obtain independent extramural funding to support their training. This strong overall record underscores the rich research training opportunities, devoted mentors, and stimulating training environment offered by the Research Training in Neuroendocrinology and Metabolism Program.
