RESPIRATORY RESEARCH TRAINING GRANT

该计划的目的是培养医生-科学家或博士后博士生物科学家，采用多学科协作方法进行肺部和重症监护医学的临床相关研究，从而为他们的学术生涯做好准备，其特点是独立的研究生产力和培训教师的专业知识，它成功地融合了多学科和多种研究方法，并在过去培养院士方面取得了成功。研究培训可在三个轨道：呼吸细胞和分子生物学;呼吸生理学;和临床调查。每个轨道都有几个经验丰富的导师提供了一系列的研究课题的学员。每个轨道都建议教学课程工作，以丰富研究培训经验，使受训者接触到更广泛的方法和研究课题。临床研究者跟踪包括在流行病学或卫生服务部门的MPH计划中注册。该计划的特点是由第一年（临床）学员进行研究导师和项目选择的过程，包括由高级培训教师为每位学员提供咨询，然后在秋季进行为期一周的培训，在此期间，学员将免除其临床责任，与选定的潜在导师进行面试，以加强导师和研究主题的最佳选择。指导委员会跟踪研究员在实现研究培训目标方面的进展，并提供反馈，包括职业咨询和学术工作安排。研究员在几个论坛上介绍他们的研究，包括非正式的实验室会议以及更有组织的研究小组，大学范围内的肺部研究会议（每年一到两次）以及区域和国家会议。培训内容包括手稿指导和赠款。该计划强调以道德和科学负责的方式进行研究。该计划还包括一个持续的努力，以吸引来自代表性不足的少数民族的个人进入肺部和重症监护医学领域，以及进入这个特定的计划。

The purpose of this program is to train physician-scientist or post- doctoral PhD biologic scientists in a multi-disciplinary collaborative approach to clinically relevant research in pulmonary and critical care medicine, and thus prepare them for academic careers characterized by independent research productivity and the expertise of its training faculty, its successful integration of multiple disciplines and diverse research methodologies and its success in the past in training academicians. Research training is available in three tracks: respiratory cell and molecular biology; respiratory physiology; and clinical investigation. Each track has several experienced mentors providing a range of research topics for the trainee. Each track has recommended didactic course work to enrich the research training experience by exposing the trainee to a broader range of methodology and research topics. The clinical investigator track includes enrollment in an MPH program in the Departments of either Epidemiology or Health Services. The program features a process of research mentor and project selection by the first year (clinical) trainees including counseling each trainee by senior training faculty followed by a week in the fall during which trainees are relieved of their clinical responsibilities to conduct interviews with selected potential mentors in order to enhance optimal choice of mentor and research topic. Mentoring committees track the fellows' progress toward their research training goals and provide feedback which includes career counseling and academic job placement. Fellows present their research in several forums including informally at laboratory meeting as well as in more structured research study groups, a University-wide pulmonary research conference (once to twice per year) and at regional and national meetings. The training includes instruction in manuscript and grants. The program stresses the conduct of research in an ethical and scientifically responsible manner. The program also includes an ongoing effort to attract individuals from under-represented minorities into the filed of pulmonary and critical care medicine as well as into this specific program.
