NIAMS-RESEARCH TRAINING IN DERMATOLOGY

这种竞争性的更新机构培训补助金申请证明了埃默里大学皮肤科系在基础和临床生物医学研究方面的巨大优势，以及其合作部门的优势。埃默里大学生物学和疾病研究的跨学科性质的特点是皮肤科和其他部门的研究人员之间的密切互动，并通过大量的联合资助机制得到加强。这种合作和跨学科的研究努力不仅提高了皮肤生物学和皮肤疾病发现的广度和质量，还为年轻医生和生物医学研究人员的人才发展提供了丰富和刺激的培训环境。只有在NIAMS支持的第四年，皮肤病学研究培训计划得到了皮肤病学系和埃默里大学医学院生物医学和临床研究的持续增长和成功的补充。在不到10年的时间里，埃默里皮肤科已经从相对默默无闻的生物医学研究和临床和研究培训计划上升到被评为全国最好的学术课程之一。我们已经建立了一个多学科的计划教师，作为导师和顾问的学员，这些教师已经非常成功地获得同行评审的竞争性资金，并在培训生产力的研究人员。我们为学员制定了多方面的教育计划，确保他们在基础和临床研究技能和方法，批判性思维，写作和演示，负责任的研究行为以及同行评审过程中的接触和培训。我们致力于培养下一代皮肤生物学和皮肤疾病研究的领导者。继续支持我们在埃默里大学的皮肤病学综合研究培训计划将大大促进这一目标的实现。我们相信，通过更新我们的皮肤病学研究培训计划的继续将提供独特的培训经验和专业知识，这将导致训练有素，批判性思维的医生科学家的出现，他们将进入皮肤病学和皮肤生物学的学术生涯。

This competitive renewal Institutional Training Grant application demonstrates the substantial strengths of the Department of Dermatology at Emory University in basic and clinical biomedical research, as well as those of its collaborating departments. The interdisciplinary nature of research in biology and disease at Emory is marked by a close interaction between Dermatology and investigators in other departments that is reinforced by substantial joint funding mechanisms. This collaborative and interdisciplinary effort in research not only enhances the breadth and quality of discovery in cutaneous biology and skin disease, it also provides a rich and stimulating training environment for development the talents of young physicians and biomedical investigators. Only in its fourth year of NIAMS support, the Dermatology Research Training Program is well-complemented by the continued growth and success in biomedical and clinical research in the Department of Dermatology and at Emory University School of Medicine. In less than 10 years, the Emory Department of Dermatology has risen from relative obscurity with respect to its biomedical research and clinical and research training programs to be rated as one of the best academic programs in the country. We have established a multi-disciplinary Program Faculty that serve as preceptors and advisors to trainees, and these faculty have been extremely successful in obtaining peer-reviewed competitive funding and in training productive researchers. We have developed a multi-faceted education program for trainees that ensures their exposure and training in basic and clinical research skills and approaches, critical thinking, writing and presentation, responsible conduct of research, and the peer review process. We are dedicated to training the next generation of leaders in cutaneous biology and skin disease research. Continued support of our integrated Research Training Program in Dermatology at Emory will greatly facilitate accomplishment of that goal. We believe that continuation of our Dermatology Research Training Program through renewal will provide a unique training experience and expertise that will result in th emergence of well- trained, critically thinking physician scientists who will enter into academic careers in Dermatology and cutaneous biology.
