INSTITUTIONAL DENTIST SCIENTIST TRAINING PROGRAM

这是一份关于机构牙科科学家培训计划的建议 (DSTP)。目前，我们有两名学生注册了DMD-Ph.D 计划：在计划的第一年和第二年各一名。这些 学生们得到牙医学院的支持。这项建议 为这些学生和其他被点名的学生寻求资金。这两者结合在一起 学位课程是对我们其他研究生培训计划的补充： 牙科科学硕士和牙医科学家奖(DSA) 博士后住院医生。我们的培训历史证明了 这项拟议的计划。我们总共毕业了八个临床 由机构DSA奖资助的学者。此外，还有四名临床医生 对学者进行了关于个别DSA/PSA奖项的培训。四个临床 由其他机制资助的学者也已毕业。其他十个人 毕业生，通过其他来源资助，将我们的培训历史带到 博士学位总数达到二十六个。我们所有的临床医生 学者们已经完成了他们的证书和博士、博士学位课程，并 进入了富有成效的职业生涯；也没有人因离开 计划或通过进入私人执业。临床学者谁是 有能力获得独立资金的机构已经这样做了；89%的机构获得了资金。 我们的项目，无论是临床项目还是研究生项目，都能适应他们的项目 确保项目顺利进行。因为它的多样性 口腔疾病的复杂性，培训的重点是基础生物学 与口腔相关的健康和疾病问题，而不是 以学科为中心的单一课程。健康中心和健康学院 牙科医学提供临床程序和多种形式的动态组合 提供激励培训环境的研究机会， 这项提案的目标与所有 我们的训练计划。也就是说，我们建议提供一个项目， 培养出高素质的临床学者，作为临床医生和 作为能够发起和维持资金支持的独立科学家 研究项目。此外，我们将继续提供 是为每个候选人量身定做的，同时保持口语的重点 生物科学通过研讨会、课程、临床研究中心 和合作研究活动。DSTP是以一种非常 在医学院成功地完成了联合学位课程。我们的 我们的培训记录和毕业生的成绩反映了 我们的培训计划的有效性，并支持这一新的提议。

This is a proposal for an Institutional Dental Scientist Training Program (DSTP). Currently, we have two students enrolled in a combined DMD-Ph.D program: one each in the first and second years of the program. These students are supported by the School of Dental Medicine. This proposal seeks funding for these students and others to be named. This combined degree program complements our other graduate training programs: the Master of Dental Science and Dentist Scientist Award (DSA) programs for postdoctoral residents. Our training history supports the viability of this proposed program. We have graduated a total of eight clinical scholars funded by an institutional DSA award. In addition, four clinical scholars were trained on individual DSA/PSA awards. Four clinical scholars funded by other mechanisms have also graduated. Ten other graduates, funded through other sources, brings our training history at the doctoral level to a total of twenty-six. All of our clinical scholars have completed their certificate and Ph,D, programs and have entered productive careers; no one has defaulted either by leaving the program or by entering private practice. The clinical scholars who are positioned to obtain independent funding have done so; 89% are funded. Our programs, both clinical and graduate, accommodate their programs to ensure successful progress through the program. Because of the diversity and complexity of oral disease, training is focused on basic biological problems related to the oral cavity in health and disease rather than a single discipline-centered program. The Health Center and the School of Dental Medicine offer a dynamic mix of clinical programs and manifold research opportunities that provide a stimulating training environment, The objectives of this proposal are consistent with the goals of all of our training programs. That is, we propose to offer a program that produces highly qualified clinical scholars competent as clinicians and independent as scientists who are able to initiate and maintain funded research programs. In addition, we will continue to provide programs that are tailored to each candidate, while maintaining a focus in the oral biological sciences through seminars, courses, clinical research centers and collaborative research activities. The DSTP is modeled on a very successful combined degree program in the School of Medicine. Our training record and the achievements of our graduates reflect the effectiveness of our training programs and support this new proposal.
