RESPIRATORY RESEARCH TRAINING GRANT

该计划的目的是培养医师科学家或博士后生物科学家，以多学科合作的方式进行肺和重症医学的临床相关研究，从而为他们的学术生涯做好准备，这些学术生涯的特点是独立的研究生产力和培训教师的专业知识，成功地整合了多学科和多样化的研究方法，并在过去成功地培养了院士。研究培训有三个方向：呼吸细胞和分子生物学；呼吸生理学;以及临床研究。每个轨道都有几位经验丰富的导师为学员提供一系列的研究课题。每个课程都推荐教学课程，通过让学员接触更广泛的方法和研究课题，丰富研究培训经验。临床研究者的轨道包括在流行病学或卫生服务部门注册公共卫生硕士项目。该计划的特点是第一年（临床）实习生选择研究导师和项目的过程，包括高级培训教师对每位实习生进行咨询，然后在秋季的一周内，实习生将免除临床责任，与选定的潜在导师进行面谈，以加强对导师和研究课题的最佳选择。指导委员会跟踪研究人员在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展示他们的研究，包括非正式的实验室会议、更有组织的研究小组、全校范围的肺病研究会议（每年一到两次）以及区域和国家会议。培训包括手稿指导和助学金。该计划强调以道德和科学负责的方式进行研究。该方案还包括一项持续努力，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，以及进入这一具体方案。

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.
