NIAMS-RESEARCH TRAINING IN DERMATOLOGY

这项竞争性更新机构培训补助金申请证明了埃默里大学皮肤科及其合作部门在基础和临床生物医学研究方面的强大实力。埃默里大学的生物学和疾病研究具有跨学科性质，其特点是皮肤病学和其他部门的研究人员密切互动，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病发现的广度和质量，而且还为发展年轻医生和生物医学研究者的才能提供了丰富和刺激的培训环境。仅在NIAMS支持的第四年，皮肤病学研究培训计划就得到了皮肤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很好补充。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、临床和研究培训项目上升到被评为全国最好的学术项目之一。我们已经建立了一个多学科的项目学院，作为学员的导师和顾问，这些学院在获得同行评审的竞争性资金和培训富有成效的研究人员方面非常成功。我们为受训者制定了一个多方面的教育计划，以确保他们在基础和临床研究技能和方法、批判性思维、写作和演讲、负责任的研究行为以及同行评审过程方面的接触和培训。我们致力于培养下一代皮肤生物学和皮肤病研究的领导者。埃默里大学皮肤科综合研究培训项目的持续支持将极大地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，具有批判性思维的医师科学家的出现，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.
