Training in Orthopaedic Research

描述（由申请人提供）：罗切斯特大学的骨科研究培训项目包括16名肌肉骨骼研究中心的培训教师和9名附属项目的培训教师。这个新的五年计划的总体目标是制定计划，促进骨科研究优秀研究人员的发展。该计划包含博士前（4）和博士后（2）学员的培训名额，围绕这些学员制定了一个教育计划，促进对骨科研究的全面理解。通过在中心的研究和教育计划的广度肌肉骨骼研究，学员将获得在研究的重点领域的最先进的培训经验的状态，但也将有曝光和教育的领域，从最基本的分子研究到人体临床试验。该中心和相关培训学院代表了一个杰出的和高度整合的导师组，提供以下方面的研究培训机会：1）骨细胞生物学，2）骨生物学和骨关节炎，3）炎症性骨疾病，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。罗切斯特大学的博士预科生被GEBS项目录取，而仅在5年前开发的肌肉骨骼研究中心已成为一个非常受欢迎的目的地，目前有15名博士。候选人目前正在与中心教师进行论文研究。此外，中心还有14名博士后在读研究生。受训人数的增加迫使我们开发这种全面的培训计划，以补充和加强研究环境。教育计划包括1）中心范围的实验室会议（每年6次学员演讲），2）为期2年的综合性“矫形科学基础”系列讲座，3）期刊俱乐部，4）赠款写作核心计划，5）和访问研究学者研讨会系列。因此，该计划坚定地致力于教育学员从分子到流行病学研究的骨科研究方面。因此，该计划具有独特的优势，可以吸引优秀的年轻研究人员，并通过培养一支将基本发现转化为人类疗法的复杂和互动的研究人员队伍来完成NIH路线图的使命。

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.
