Research Training in Microbial Diseases

描述（由申请人提供）：微生物疾病研究培训计划的目标是培养具有解决传染病研究中关键问题和未解决问题的专业知识的杰出独立生物医学研究者。我们项目的一个主要优势是它的多学科性质，结合了医学院和彭博公共卫生学院多个部门的教师和资源，他们对传染病研究有共同的兴趣，并在过去的5年里进行了广泛的合作。博士后研究员在国内或国际培训地点集中培训临床、转化或基础科学研究的单一领域，并接触各种其他学科的传染病研究。41名培训教师，14名主要从事基础科学研究，27名临床研究人员，被选中的原因是他们的研究项目的实力、校外研究支持的水平、培训生物医学科学家的先前经验以及他们对互动研究培训的贡献潜力。受训人员的研究培训还包括课程作业、参加选定的会议、赠款准备和生物医学伦理方面的培训，以及包括研究研讨会在内的研究报告技巧，以及在科学会议上的报告。目前的供资期间支助了15名研究员的培训，其中6人仍在接受培训。6名毕业生已在传染病领域担任全职学术职位，2名在工业领域指导临床研究。一名实习生是临床医生兼教育家。总的来说，这些受训者获得了5个“K”指导的新研究者奖。在此资助期内获资助的15名研究员中，有14名已根据在T32资助下获得的研究培训提交或发表了共94篇手稿或章节，其中包括66篇经同行评审的出版物。自1996年以来，约翰霍普金斯大学医学院传染病研究培训方案的37名毕业生中有34名（92%）获得学术任命；这34人中有29人是大学（N=24）、政府（N=2）或工业（N=3）职位的活跃传染病调查员。5名毕业生从事学术临床实践。自1996年以来，大约75%的传染病研究培训方案毕业生获得了独立研究基金；大部分（大约80%）来自NIH或其他联邦来源。鉴于这些数据和成功案例，我们要求支持8个博士后培养职位。这些基金为我们的传染病研究培训项目提供了核心的基本支持，每年至少有10名医学博士或医学博士研究生参与。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the Research Training Program in Microbial Diseases is to produce outstanding independent biomedical investigators equipped with the expertise to address critical questions and unresolved issues in infectious diseases research. A major strength of our program is its multidisciplinary nature, combining faculty and resources from multiple departments of the School of Medicine and Bloomberg School of Public Health who share an interest in infectious diseases research and have collaborated extensively over the past 5 years. Post-doctoral fellows are trained intensively in a single area in clinical, translational or basic science investigation at a domestic or international training site with exposure to infectious diseases research in a variety of other disciplines. Forty-one training faculty, 14 primarily in basic science investigation and 27 clinical investigators, have been selected for the strength of their research programs, level of extramural research support, prior experience in training biomedical scientists and their potential for contributing to interactive research training. The trainee's research training is supplemented with coursework, participation in select conferences, training in grant preparation and biomedical ethics as well as research presentation skills including research seminars, and presentations at scientific meetings. The current funding period supported the training of 15 fellows, 6 of whom remain in training. Six program graduates have full-time academic positions in infectious diseases and two are directing clinical investigation in industry. One trainee is a clinician-educator. Overall, these trainees secured 5 'K' mentored new investigator awards. Fourteen of the 15 fellows supported to date in this grant period have submitted or published a total of 94 manuscripts or chapters including 66 peer-reviewed publications based on the research training obtained under this T32 award. Since 1996, 34 of the 37 graduates (92%) of the Infectious Diseases research training program of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine have academic appointments; 29 of these 34 are active infectious diseases investigators in University (N=24), government (N=2) or industry (N=3) positions. Five graduates are engaged in academic clinical practice. Approximately 75% of the graduates of the Infectious Diseases research training program since 1996 have been awarded independent research funds; the majority (>80%) from the NIH or other federal sources. Given these data and successes, we request support for 8 post-doctoral training positions. These grant funds provide a core of essential support for our Infectious Diseases research training program involving at least 10 MD or MD-PhD fellows annually.
