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一个为期两年的奖学金，致力于研究的病理生理学的反应，以伤害。该培训计划的目标是培养在基础研究和临床研究领域有才华的年轻人，教他们设计和执行成功的研究项目，并为他们提供科学研究的道德和方法的坚实背景。该奖学金的目的是增加北卡罗来纳州大学内对伤害的研究重点，并培训个人成为对创伤领域感兴趣的独立调查人员和学术人员。受训人员将从广泛的候选人中挑选。将作出特别努力，以确定少数民族申请人，这将增加我们在这个和其他机构的学员的多样性。该培训计划是两年的全职工作与一个或多个有才华的教师导师的一大群。研究项目集中在损伤后器官衰竭、免疫学和宿主抵抗力等领域。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，受训人员必须在外科大圆桌会议上介绍他们的研究，并向国家会议提交摘要。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UNC-CH和周边地区大学提供的广泛的研究生课程，以提高他们的研究经验。培训咨询委员会将协助项目主任招聘和挑选受训人员，批准受训人员的研究和教学计划，将受训人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。多学科合作的机构历史悠久。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。

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 the response to 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 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 who will increase the diversity of our trainees in this and other institutions. The training program is two years of full-time effort working with one or more of a large group of talented faculty mentors. Research projects are concentrated in the areas of organ failure after injury, immunology and host resistance. 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 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 available at the UNC-CH and surrounding area universities to enhance their research experience. The Training Advisory 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 is established investigators with current NIH funding or other extramural funding, and is experienced mentors of physician-scientists. The faculty has diverse interests, allowing multiple candidates to find appropriate mentors within the training program. There is 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.
