UAB Infectious Diseases Training Grant

描述(由申请人提供)：这份T32传染病培训计划提案(P.I.，W.E.Dismukes)建立在阿拉巴马大学伯明翰医学院(UAB)成人和儿科传染病联合部门在基础和临床研究方面的既定优势基础上。此外，这两个部门在培训医学博士、研究生和博士后方面的记录都是强劲和持久的。我们的提案提供了在六个成熟、资金充足和国家认可的研究项目中培训经验的机会，这些项目由资金充足、富有成效和高知名度的高级调查人员/导师领导。这些方案和方案负责人是：病毒学-非艾滋病毒(Britt，Whitley-Peds ID)、真菌学(Dismukes-Adult ID)、性传播疾病(Hook，Schwebke-Adult)、艾滋病毒/艾滋病(Saag，Johnson-Adult)、国际(Vermund，Freedman-Adult)和疫苗(Mulrigan，Pass-Adult)。这些计划中的每一个都以与当前公众需求直接相关的高度优先领域的跨学科基础和/或临床研究为中心。此外，每个项目都非常成功地获得了核心联邦资金(主要是国家卫生研究院和疾控中心)，通过调查员发起的R01‘S和/或大型项目项目、合作协议和合同授予，以回应联邦授权的RFA。我们的培训计划要求在第一年资助一名实习生，在第二到第五年资助两名实习生(每年一名新的实习生，医学博士或医学博士学位)。在方案上，有效的跨学科研究经验将通过将所需的课程纳入导师和受训人员制定的每个单独的研究计划来实施。参加NIH K30 UAB临床研究培训计划课程的学员将被要求接受临床研究培训。追求每小时公里数也将是可用的。培训计划的总体绩效和方向将由计划主任、联合主任和研究咨询委员会每半年审查一次。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This T32 training program proposal in Infectious Diseases (P.I., W.E. Dismukes) builds on the established strengths in basic and clinical research of the combined Adult and Pediatric Divisions of Infectious Diseases at the University of Alabama School of Medicine at Birmingham (UAB). Moreover, the track records of both Divisions in training MDs, graduate students and PhD post docs, are strong and sustained. Our proposal features opportunities for training experiences in six well established, well funded and nationally recognized research programs led by well funded, productive, and highly visible senior investigators/mentors. These programs and program leaders are: Virology- non-HIV (Britt, Whitley- Peds ID), Mycology (Dismukes -Adult ID), Sexually Transmitted Diseases (Hook, Schwebke- Adult), HIV/AIDS (Saag, Johnson- Adult), International (Vermund, Freedman - Adult), and Vaccines (Mulligan, Pass - Adult). Each of these programs centers on interdisciplinary fundamental and/or clinical research in high priority areas directly linked to current public needs. In addition, each program has been highly successful in obtaining core federal funding (primarily NIH and CDC) through investigator-initiated R01's and/or large program project, cooperative agreement and contract awards in response to federally mandated RFAs. Our training proposal seeks funding for one trainee in Year one and two trainees in Years two through five (one new trainee per Year, MD or MD/PhD). Programmatically, an effective interdisciplinary research experience will be implemented by incorporation of required coursework into each individual research plan formulated by the mentor and trainee. Trainees participation in the curriculum of the NIH K30 UAB Clinical Research Training Program will be required for those training in clinical research. Pursuit of an MPH will also be available. The overall performance and direction of the training program will be reviewed by the Program Director, Co-Directors and Research Advisory Committee on a semi-annual basis.
