描述(由申请人提供)： 本申请申请为凯斯西储大学(CWRU)新的胃肠病学培训项目申请资金。该计划的长期目标是培养拥有医学博士、医学博士或博士学位的合格个人，致力于广泛的胃肠病学领域的研究事业。该计划将对这些人进行全面的教育，以便在完成计划后，他们将能够作为独立调查人员发挥作用，并成功地在国家一级竞争资金。拟议计划的基础是消化内科的战略规划和巩固努力，该部门凭借卓越的临床和基础研究、来自NIH的充足资金以及超过40,000平方英尺的联合研究空间而获得了卓越的声誉。该计划的一个重要方面是，研究将跨越部门和部门的界限，因为所有入伍的导师都有高效合作的传统，并以有效的跨学科方式培训了大量调查人员。来自五个系的28名核心讲师和协作教员代表了广泛的科学兴趣和技术专长，将提供多样化的培训机会，这些培训机会将根据每个受训人员的科学背景和职业目标而量身定做。讲师和合作教师的研究活动将包括免疫学、分子生物学、流行病学、结果研究、社会医学、病理学、胃肠道癌症和高级内窥镜检查等广泛主题。除了个别导师的实验室提供的资源外，学员还将利用CWRU丰富的科学环境，拥有大量的培训补助金，以展示机构对未来几代院士发展的承诺。本申请在第一年申请2个博士后职位，并在接下来的几年中每年招聘2个新的实习生职位。每个成功的申请者将接受机构赠款的至少两年的培训。在此之后，可向选定的受训人员提供1至2年，由其他个人或机构培训补助金支持，或受训人员在其正式培训期间申请的补助金。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests funding for a new Training Program in gastroenterology at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU). The long-term goal of the program is to train qualified individuals with a M.D., M.D./Ph.D., or Ph.D. degree committed to a research career in the broad field of gastroenterology. The program will educate such individuals in a comprehensive fashion so that, upon completing the program, they will be able to function as independent investigators and successfully compete for funding at the national level. The foundation of the proposed program is based on the strategic planning and consolidated efforts of the Division of Gastroenterology, that has achieved a reputation of excellence based on superior clinical and basic research, ample funding from the NIH, and a combined research space in excess of 40,000 square feet. An essential aspect of the program is that research will cut across Divisional and Departmental lines as all enlisted mentors have a tradition of highly productive collaborations and have trained a large number of investigators in an effective interdisciplinary manner. Twenty-eight core preceptors and collaborating faculty from five Departments, representing a wide range of scientific interest and technical expertise, will offer a diversity of training opportunities that will be tailored to the scientific background and career goals of each trainee. The research activities covered by the preceptors and collaborating faculty will include the broad topics of immunology, molecular biology, epidemiology, outcome studies, social medicine, pathology, gastrointestinal cancer, and advanced endoscopy. In addition to the resources available in the laboratories of individual mentors, the trainees will take advantage of the rich scientific environment of CWRU that has a large number of training grants as demonstration of institutional commitment to the development of future generations of academicians. This application seeks 2 post-doctoral positions in year 1, and 2 new trainee positions in each of the subsequent years. Each successful applicant will be trained for a minimum period of two years by the institutional grant. After that, 1 or 2 subsequent years may be offered to selected trainees, to be supported by other individual or institutional training grants, or grants to which the trainee will apply during his/her official training period.
