Training in Orthopaedic Research

描述（由申请人提供）：罗彻斯特大学骨科研究培训项目包括肌肉骨骼研究中心的16个培训学院和附属项目的9个培训学院。这个新的五年计划的总体目标是制定计划，将促进优秀的骨科研究人员的发展。该项目包括博士预科(4)和博士后(2)实习生的培训时段，并围绕这些实习生开发了一个教育项目，以促进对骨科研究的全面理解。通过肌肉骨骼研究中心的广泛研究和教育项目，学员将在一个重点研究领域获得最先进的培训经验，但也将在从最基本的分子研究到人体临床试验等领域获得接触和教育。该中心和相关培训师资队伍代表了一个杰出的和高度整合的导师群体，提供研究培训机会：1)骨细胞生物学，2)软骨生物学和骨关节炎，3)炎性骨病，4)骨骼修复，5)骨癌，6)颅面生物学，7)肌肉骨骼临床试验和流行病学。罗彻斯特大学的博士预科生可以进入GEBS项目和肌肉骨骼研究中心，这是5年前才发展起来的，已经成为一个非常受欢迎的目的地，目前有15名博士候选人正在与中心教师一起进行论文研究。另有博士后在读生14人。学员人数的增加迫使我们制定了这个全面的培训计划，以补充和加强研究环境。教育项目包括：1)中心范围的实验室会议（每年6次学员演讲），2)全面的“骨科科学基础”系列讲座（2年为一个周期），3)期刊俱乐部，4)拨款写作核心项目，5)访问研究学者系列研讨会。因此，该计划坚定地致力于在骨科研究方面对学员进行教育，范围从分子到流行病学研究。因此，该项目的独特定位是吸引优秀的年轻研究人员，并通过培养一批成熟和互动的研究人员来完成NIH路线图的使命，这些研究人员将把基础发现转化为人类疗法。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Training Program in Orthopaedic Research at the University of Rochester involves 16 Training Faculty with the Center for Musculoskeletal Research and 9 Training Faculty from affiliated programs. The overall goal of this new five-year program is to develop programs that will facilitate the development of outstanding investigators in Orthopaedic Research. The program contains training slots for both pre-doctoral (4) and post-doctoral (2) trainees and around these trainees is developed an educational program that facilitates a comprehensive understanding of orthopaedic investigation. Through the breadth of research and educational programs in the Center for Musculoskeletal Research, trainees will receive a state of the art training experience in a focused area of research, but will also have exposure and education in areas ranging from the most basic molecular studies to human clinical trials. The Center and Associated Training Faculty represent an outstanding and highly integrated group of mentors that provide research training opportunities in 1) Bone Cell Biology, 2) Cartilage Biology and Osteoarthritis, 3) Inflammatory Bone Diseases, 4) Skeletal Repair, 5) Bone Cancer, 6) Craniofacial Biology, and 7) Musculoskeletal Clinical Trials and Epidemiology. Pre-doctoral trainees at the University of Rochester are accepted into the GEBS program and the Center for Musculoskeletal Research, which was developed only 5 years ago, has become an extremely popular destination, and currently has 15 Ph.D. candidates currently conducting thesis research with Center faculty. In addition, there are 14 post-doctoral trainees in the Center. The increased number of trainees has compelled us to develop this comprehensive training program to supplement and enhance the research environment. The education programs include 1) Center-wide lab meetings (6 trainee presentations/year), 2) a comprehensive "Foundations of Orthopaedic Science" Lecture Series that has a 2- year cycle, 3) a Journal Club, 4) a Grant Writing Core Program, 5) and a Visiting Research Scholar Seminar Series. Thus, the program is firmly committed to educate trainees in aspects of orthopaedic research that range from molecular to epidemiological studies. As such, the program is uniquely positioned to attract outstanding young investigators and fulfill the mission of the NIH roadmap by producing a cadre of sophisticated and interactive investigators that will translate basic discoveries into human therapies.
