Comprehensive Training in Oral & Craniofacial Sciences

培训计划说明：（由申请人提供）本计划书 整合了俄亥俄州州立大学卫生部正在进行的培训计划 科学中心下的牙科学院的保护伞，以解决 迫切需要培训口腔健康和颅面研究方面的教师。的 牙科学院的教师和管理人员已经认识到， 多学科领域长期严重缺乏合格的研究人员 research.在过去的十年里，培训计划，如DDS/博士和临床医生 科学家计划已经在牙科学院开发， 多学科研究中的学术临床医生。政府当局 通过为这些受训人员提供津贴和学费来资助这些方案。 受训人员的反应是从国家移民和难民事务研究所获得国家移民和难民事务局的个人支助。 因此，这项建议涉及许多已经在联合国系统内实施的培训方案。 牙科学院，并将其整合为一个全面的多学科 培训计划。它利用了强大的跨学科教师的优势 在一个重要的和不断扩大的健康科学中心的框架内工作。 培训机会将包括：1）短期培训计划， 博士前学生和教师; 2）博士学位。口腔生物学博士 计划和三个多学科并行程序在综合生物医学 科学，神经科学和生物医学工程; 3）结合DDS/博士和 MD/PhD双培养; 4）博士后培养，包括博士后和 临床医生/科学家;以及5）长期研究培训/再培训， 教师。每个项目的重点是发展研究经验 这将有助于识别，招聘，培训和留住合格的研究人员， 在口腔健康和颅面科学的学术生涯。一个中心焦点 这一建议的一个重要方面是征聘高素质的候选人， 灵活的培训计划，将为研究人员提供长期的成功 在未来第二个重点是提供额外的培训机会 目前的教师。该培训计划的主要特点是 创新的多学科基础科学课程，是基于 人类疾病的机制，在口腔科学灵活的课程， 联系来自各种生物医学项目的学员，并制定长期计划， 为学术研究职业提供培训。

DESCRIPTION OF TRAINING PROGRAM: (provided by applicant) This proposal integrates ongoing training programs within the Ohio State University Health Sciences Center under the umbrella of the College of Dentistry to address the urgent need to train faculty in oral health and craniofacial research. The faculty and administration in the College of Dentistry have recognized the acute and long-term shortage of qualified researchers in multidisciplinary research. Over the last decade, training programs such as DDS/PhD and Clinician Scientist programs have been developed in the College of Dentistry to train academic clinicians in multidisciplinary research. The administration has funded these programs by providing stipends and tuition for these trainees. Trainees have responded by acquiring individual NRSA support from the NIDCR. Thus, this proposal engages many training programs already in place within the College of Dentistry and integrates them into a comprehensive multidisciplinary training program. It takes advantage of a strong interdisciplinary faculty working in the framework of a vital and expanding Health Sciences Center. Training opportunities will include: 1) short-term training programs for pre-doctoral students and faculty; 2) Ph.D. training in the Oral Biology Ph.D. program and three multidisciplinary parallel programs in Integrated Biomedical Sciences, Neuroscience, and Biomedical Engineering; 3) combined DDS/PhD and MD/PhD dual training; 4) post doctoral training including post PhDs and Clinician/Scientists; and 5) long term research training/retraining for faculty. The focus of each of these programs is to develop research experiences that will help to identify, recruit, train, and retain qualified researchers in academic careers in the oral health and craniofacial sciences. A central focus of this proposal is the recruitment of highly qualified candidates into flexible training programs that will provide researchers with long-term success in the future. The second focus is to provide additional training opportunities for current faculty. The key features of this training program are an innovative multidisciplinary basic science curriculum that is based upon the mechanisms of human disease, a flexible curriculum in the oral sciences that links trainees from various biomedical programs, and a long-term plan to mentor trainees for careers in academic research.
