Comprehensive Training in Oral & Craniofacial Sciences

培训项目说明：(申请人提供)本建议书 将正在进行的培训计划整合到俄亥俄州立大学健康中心 牙科学院下属的科学中心致力于 迫切需要培训口腔健康和颅面研究方面的教师。这个 牙科学院的教职员工和管理人员已经认识到 多学科领域严重而长期缺乏合格的研究人员 研究。在过去十年中，DDS/PHD和临床医生等培训项目 牙科学院已经制定了科学家计划，以培训 多学科研究中的学术临床医生。政府已经 通过为这些学员提供津贴和学费，为这些项目提供资金。 学员们的回应是从NIDCR获得了个人NRSA支持。 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 牙医学院，并将它们整合为一所综合性的多学科 培训计划。它利用了一支强大的跨学科教师队伍。 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 博士生和教职员工；2)口腔生物学博士学位培训。 综合生物医学中的三个多学科并行计划 科学、神经科学和生物医学工程；3)DDS/PHD和 博士/博士双重培训；4)博士后培训，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 教职员工。每个项目的重点都是发展研究经验。 这将有助于识别、招聘、培训和留住合格的研究人员 口腔健康和颅面科学的学术生涯。一个中心焦点 这项提议的一部分是招聘高素质的候选人到 灵活的培训计划，将为研究人员提供长期成功 在未来。第二个重点是提供更多的培训机会 为目前的教职员工服务。该培训计划的主要特点是 创新的多学科基础科学课程，基于 人类疾病的机制，口腔科学的灵活课程， 将来自各种生物医学项目的学员和长期计划联系起来，指导 面向学术研究职业的实习生。

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.
