NIAMS-Research Training in Dermatology

描述(由申请人提供)： 这项竞争性的续签机构培训补助金申请显示了埃默里大学皮肤科在基础和临床生物医学研究方面的强大实力，以及其合作部门的优势。埃默里大学生物学和疾病研究的跨学科性质以皮肤科和其他部门的研究人员之间的密切互动为标志，并通过大量的联合资助机制得到加强。这种协作和跨学科的研究努力不仅提高了皮肤生物学和皮肤病领域的发现广度和质量，还为培养年轻医生和生物医学研究人员的才华提供了一个丰富和鼓舞人心的培训环境。在第二个也是最近一个供资周期中，这笔培训赠款继续建立在其第一个供资周期建立的坚实基础之上。埃默里皮肤科在生物医学研究、临床和研究培训项目方面相对默默无闻，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计划学院，作为受训人员的导师和顾问，这些教师在获得同行评审的竞争性资金以及培训富有成效的研究人员和学术皮肤科医生方面取得了极其成功的成就。我们为学员开发了一个多方面的教育计划，确保他们在基本和临床研究技能和方法、批判性思维、写作和陈述、负责任的研究行为和同行审查过程中接触和培训。我们致力于培养皮肤生物学和皮肤病研究的下一代领导者。继续支持我们在埃默里的皮肤病综合研究培训计划将极大地促进这一目标的实现。我们相信，通过续签这一机构培训补助金，继续我们的皮肤病研究培训计划，将提供独特的培训经验和专业知识，从而培养出训练有素、具有批判性思维的内科科学家，他们将进入皮肤病和皮肤生物学的学术生涯。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): 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 developing the talents of young physicians and biomedical investigators. Through the second and most recent funding cycle, this training grant has continued to build upon the solid foundation established in its first funding cycle. 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 multidisciplinary 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 and academic dermatologists. We have developed a multi-faceted educational program for trainees that ensure 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 of this Institutional Training Grant will provide a unique training experience and expertise that will result in the emergence of well-trained, critically thinking, physician scientists who will enter into academic careers in Dermatology and cutaneous biology.
