Trauma and Inflammation Research Training

描述(由申请人提供)：这是布朗大学阿尔伯特医学院外科学系多学科基础科学博士后培训项目的竞争性更新。该计划的目标是识别、招募和培训下一代创伤科学家，特别强调在学术创伤医学生涯中留住医学博士。研究方面的正规培训包括获得科学家的技术、智力、哲学和伦理习惯和能力。在受训者身上培养这些特质是该计划最重要的目标。布朗大学的外科、工程学、神经外科、医学系、分子微生物学和免疫学、分子生物学、细胞生物学和生物化学以及病理学学院及其各自的实验室为学员提供了选择研究领域的理想机会。罗德岛医院的一级创伤和烧伤中心为基础研究提供临床相关资料。该方案由一名主任领导，该主任在挑选、指导和评估受训人员方面由执行委员会提供建议和协助。一名联席主任协助主任执行项目的日常工作，并在主任不在时代理主任的职务。一个校外顾问小组保证了培训计划的卓越。每年在全国范围内挑选两名实习生，从任何外科分支的住院医生和最近毕业的博士中挑选。主要的重点是从代表性不足的少数群体中招聘候选人。培训计划为期两年。课程包括生物统计学的必修课，负责 进行研究和科学写作，以及为学员的具体需要量身定做的选修课。一名教师导师和一个咨询小组(模仿博士论文委员会，包括一名经验丰富的创伤护理临床医生)提供指导、支持和监督，以及对研究项目的临床展望。在培训期间，学员将不承担任何临床责任。这一综合计划为学员提供了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。 相关性：在美国，创伤仍然是导致死亡和残疾的主要原因。该计划旨在将外科住院医生或新近毕业的博士培养成下一代创伤科学家，能够在床边带来对“创伤疾病”潜在机制的理解方面的进展，并改善创伤受害者的结局。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a competitive renewal for the post-doctoral multidisciplinary basic science Trauma and Inflammation Research Training Program at the Department of Surgery, The Alpert Medical School of Brown University. The Program's goal is to identify, recruit, and train the next generation of Trauma Scientists with particular emphasis on retaining MDs in academic trauma medicine careers. Formal training in research involves the acquisition of the technical, intellectual, philosophical and ethical habits and abilities of the scientist. Development of these traits in the trainees is the most important goal of the Program. Faculty from the Departments of Surgery; Engineering; Neurosurgery; Medicine; Molecular Microbiology and Immunology; Molecular Biology, Cell Biology and Biochemistry; and Pathology at Brown University, and their respective laboratories, afford trainees ideal opportunities to select areas for research. The Level 1 Trauma and Burn Centers at Rhode Island Hospital provide clinical correlates for basic research. The Program is led by a Director who is advised and assisted by an Executive Committee in the selection, guidance and evaluation of trainees. A Co-Director assists the Director in the day-to-day running of the program and stands-in in his absence. An Extramural Advisors Panel assures the excellence of the Training Program. Two trainees per year are selected nationally, among residents in any branch of surgery and recently graduated PhDs. Major emphasis is placed on recruiting candidates from under-represented minorities. The Training Program lasts two years. The curriculum includes 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 and an Advisory Group (modeled after a PhD thesis committee and including an experienced trauma care clinician) 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. This comprehensive program provides the trainee with the technical and intellectual tools necessary to pursue an academic career in research areas related to trauma and inflammation. Relevance: Trauma continues to be a leading cause of death and disability in the USA. The Program aims to train surgical residents or recently graduated PhDs as the next generation of Trauma Scientists, capable of bringing advances in the understanding of the underlying mechanisms of "trauma disease" to the bedside and improve the outcome of trauma victims.
