Trauma Research Fellowship

描述（由申请人提供）：我们提出了一个培训计划，旨在吸引和培训医生在为期两年的奖学金，致力于研究损伤的病理生理学。 该培训计划的目标是培养有才华的年轻人在基础研究和临床研究领域，教他们设计和执行成功的研究项目，并给他们一个坚实的背景，在科学研究的道德和方法。 该奖学金的目的是增加北卡罗来纳州（北卡罗来纳州）内的伤害研究的重点，并培训个人成为独立的调查人员和学术教师与创伤领域的兴趣。 受训人员将从广泛的候选人中挑选。 将作出特别努力，在这一机构和其他机构中查明少数民族申请人。 该培训计划旨在提供两年的全职工作经验，与一大群有才华的教师导师一起工作。 研究项目集中在损伤后器官衰竭、免疫学和宿主抗性以及损伤流行病学等领域。 每周与受训人员举行的研讨会使他们能够向研究界介绍自己的材料。 此外，学员必须在外科大圆桌会议上介绍他们的研究，并提交摘要提交给国家会议。 两个密集的为期一周的课程，负责任的研究行为和临床研究方法，在该计划的第一个月为学员提供。 受训人员有机会参加研究生课程，从UNC-CH和周边地区大学提供的广泛教学资源，以提高他们的研究经验。 培训委员会将协助项目主任招聘和选择学员，批准学员的研究和教学计划，将学员分配到适当的研究培训学院，并监督项目活动。 项目评估委员会将对培训项目进行全面评估，并向培训委员会提供反馈。 该计划中的所有研究培训学院都是目前NIH资助或其他校外资助的研究人员，并且是医生科学家的经验丰富的导师。 教师有不同的兴趣，允许多个候选人在培训计划中找到合适的导师。 有一个强大的机构历史的多学科合作。 一组临床科学家导师将通过讨论研究的临床维度为学员提供指导。 在医学和临床资源（创伤中心和北卡罗来纳州Jaycee烧伤中心在创伤医院的创伤学校的大量研究资源）提供了一个丰富的环境，年轻的调查人员谁将成为未来的院士在创伤领域的培训。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose a training program designed to attract and train physicians in a two year fellowship devoted to research on the pathophysiology of injury. The goals of this training program are to nurture talented young individuals in the areas of basic research and clinical investigation, to teach them to design and perform successful research projects, and to give them a solid background in the ethics and methods of scientific research. The objective of this fellowship is to increase the focus of research on injury within the University of North Carolina (UNC) and to train individuals to become independent investigators and academic faculty with an interest in the area of trauma. Trainees will be selected from a broad group of candidates. Special efforts will be made to identify minority applicants in this and other institutions. The training program is designed to provide experience for two years of full-time effort working with a large group of talented faculty mentors. Research projects are concentrated in the areas of organ failure after injury, immunology and host resistance, and epidemiology of injury. Weekly seminars with the trainees allow them to present their material to the research community. Additionally, trainees are required to present their research at Surgery Grand Rounds, and submit abstracts for presentation to national meetings. Two intensive week-long courses, Responsible Conduct of Research and Methods in Clinical Research, are provided for trainees in the first month of the program. Trainees have the opportunity to attend graduate level courses from the broad range of didactic resources available at the UNC-CH and surrounding area universities to enhance their research experience. The Training Committee will assist the Program Director in recruitment and selection of trainees, approval of trainee's research and didactic plans, assignment of trainee to appropriate Research Training Faculty, and monitoring of program activities. The Program Evaluation Committee will provide overall evaluation of the training program and provide feedback to the Training Committee. All of the Research Training Faculty in the program are established investigators with current NIH funding or other extramural funding, and are experienced mentors of physician-scientists. The faculty have diverse interests, allowing multiple candidates to find appropriate mentors within the training program. There is a strong institutional history of multidisciplinary collaboration. A group of Clinician-Scientist mentors will provide guidance to trainees through discussion of the clinical dimensions of the research. The large number of research resources in the UNC School of Medicine and clinical resources (the Trauma Center and the North Carolina Jaycee Burn Center at UNC Hospitals) offer a rich environment for the training of young investigators who will become future academicians in the area of trauma.
