Pulmonary and Cardiovascular Development Training Grant

描述（由申请人提供）：本肺和心血管生物学培训基金的目的是建立一个培训计划，以加强哺乳动物胚胎和围产期生物学关键方面的基础研究培训，为三名博士后助理和三名博士预科候选人提供津贴！辛辛那提大学研究生课程。该计划在很大程度上借鉴了分子、发育和细胞生物学研究的综合、创新和已建立的研究生课程，并从NHLBI支持的相关项目中受益。该项目确定并招募有潜力的年轻博士和博士后候选人，他们将完成博士学位，或博士后培训计划。本项目将特别关注少数族裔和医学博士候选人的招募。具有医学博士学位或博士学位，或两者兼有，择优录取。科学指导，职业发展和课程工作将在辛辛那提大学医学院的研究生课程中获得，其中培训教师参与。该项目汇集了25位杰出的知名研究人员，他们在辛辛那提儿童研究基金会和辛辛那提大学医学院使用现代分子和细胞策略研究tung，心脏和血液的发育生物学。这些教师在发展科学方面有着共同的研究兴趣和悠久的合作历史。主要主题包括：哺乳动物胚胎发生过程中基因表达的研究，基因靶向，以及利用转基因小鼠研究发育小鼠的基因功能和调控。赠款将包括一个行政核心，由首席研究员、执行委员会、外部和内部咨询委员会组成。正在进行的研究将包括一门以科学行为中的伦理问题为重点的课程。博士预科学员将在辛辛那提大学医学院的发育生物学研究生项目、生物医学科学学位项目、解剖和细胞生物学部门或分子遗传学、生物化学和微生物学部门获得博士学位。定期的研究会议和一些相关的系列研讨会进一步加强了该计划。执行委员会将每年对每位受训人员的进度进行审查。

Description (provided by applicant): The goal of this Training Grant in Pulmonary and Cardiovascular Biology is to establish a training program for t the enhancement of basic research training in critical aspects of mammalian embryonic and perinatal biology I by providing stipends for three postdoctoral associates and for three predoctoral candidates within the ! University of Cincinnati Graduate Programs. The program draws heavily upon integrated, innovative, andl established Graduate Programs for the study of molecular, developmental, and cell biology and benefits from related programs supported by the NHLBI. This program identifies and recruits promising young doctoral and postdoctoral candidates who will complete their doctoral degree, or a postdoctoral training program. Special attention will be given to recruitment of minorities and to M.D. candidates for this program. Postdoctoral trainees will have the M.D. or Ph.D. degree, or both, and will be selected on a competitive basis. Scientific guidance, career development and course work will be obtained within the graduate programs at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine in which the training faculty participate. The program has brought together 25 distinguished and well-established investigators with experience using contemporary molecular and cellular strategies to study the developmental biology of tung, heart and blood at Cincinnati Children's Research Foundation and at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. These faculty share research interests and have a long history of collaboration in developmental science. The major themes include: study of gene expression during mammalian embryogenesis, gene targeting, and the use of transgenic mice to study gene function and regulation with the developing mouse. The grant will include an administrative core consisting of the Principal Investigator, Executive Committee, external and internal Advisory Boards. Ongoing studies will include a course focused to ethical issues in the conduct of science. Predoctoral trainees will obtain their Ph.D. degrees in the Developmental Biology Graduate Program, Biomedical Sciences Degree Program, Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology, or Department of Molecular Genetics, Biochemistry and Microbiology, at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. Regular research meetings and several pertinent seminar series further enhance the program. Progress of each trainee will be reviewed annually by the Executive Committee.
