Trauma and Inflammation Research Training

描述（由申请人提供）：申请在布朗大学外科学系重建一个多学科基础科学博士后。该计划的目标是确定，招募和培训下一代创伤科学家，特别强调在创伤和炎症研究培训计划创伤医学事业中保留医学博士。研究方面的正式训练包括获得科学家的技术、智力、哲学和伦理习惯和能力。该项目将把培养学员的这些特质作为其最重要的功能。外科院系教师；神经外科;医学;分子微生物学与免疫学；分子生物学、细胞生物学和生物化学；布朗医学院的病理学和他们各自的实验室将为受训者提供充足的机会来选择研究领域。罗德岛医院的一级创伤和烧伤中心将为基础研究提供临床相关人员。该计划将由一名主任领导，并由执行委员会在学员的选择、指导和评估方面提供建议和协助。一名联合主任将协助主任进行项目的日常运作，并在主任缺席时代替主任。一个校内咨询委员会和一个校外顾问小组将确保培训计划的卓越性。每年将在全国范围内从外科或医学任何分支的住院医师和刚毕业的博士中选出两名培训生。重点将放在从代表性不足的少数民族中招募候选人。培训项目将持续两年。课程将包括生物统计学、负责任的研究行为和科学写作等必修课程，以及为学员量身定制的选修课程。一名教师导师和一个以博士论文委员会为模板的咨询小组，包括一名具有创伤护理经验的临床医生，将为研究项目提供指导、支持和监督，以及临床前景。学员在培训期间不承担临床责任。拟议的综合培训计划旨在为受训者提供必要的技术和智力工具，以追求与创伤和炎症相关的研究领域的学术生涯。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a proposal to re-establish a postdoctoral multidisciplinary basic science at the Department of Surgery, Brown University. The Program's goal is to identify, recruit, and train the next generation of Trauma Scientists with particular emphasis in retaining MDs in academic Trauma and Inflammation Research Training Program trauma medicine careers. Formal training in research involves the acquisition of the technical, intellectual, philosophical and ethical habits and abilities of the scientist. The program will see the development of these traits in the trainees as its most important function. Faculty from the Departments of Surgery; Neurosurgery; Medicine; Molecular Microbiology and Immunology; Molecular Biology, Cell Biology and Biochemistry; and Pathology at Brown Medical School and their respective laboratories will afford the trainees ample opportunities to select areas for research. The Level 1 Trauma and Burn Centers at Rhode Island Hospital will provide clinical correlates for basic research. The Program will be lead by a Director who will be advised and assisted by an Executive Committee in the selection, guidance and evaluation of trainees. A Co-Director will assist the Director in the day-to-day running of the program and stand-in in his absence. An Intramural Advisory Committee and an Extramural Advisors Panel will assure the excellence of the training program. Two trainees will be selected nationally per year among residents in any branch of surgery or medicine and recently graduated Ph.D.s. Major emphasis will be placed in recruiting candidates from underrepresented minorities. The training program will last two years. The curriculum will include required courses in Biostatistics, Responsible Conduct of Research, and Scientific Writing, as well as elective courses tailored to the specific needs of the trainees. A faculty mentor along with an Advisory Group modeled after a Ph.D. thesis committee and including a clinician with experience in trauma care will provide direction, support and supervision as well as a clinical outlook on the research project. Trainees will have no clinical responsibilities during the training period. The proposed comprehensive training program is designed to provide the trainee with the technical and intellectual tools necessary to pursue an academic career in research areas related to trauma and inflammation.
