描述（由申请人提供）：输血医学的研究对该领域的未来至关重要，下游，对全世界输血和细胞疗法接受者的安全性至关重要。埃默里输血和细胞治疗中心（CTCT）是美国最大、最全面的输血医学学术项目之一，致力于提供卓越的临床服务，出色的基础、转化和临床研究，以及对该领域未来领导者的临床和研究培训。T32博士后科学家培训计划是促进和履行埃默里CTCT使命的关键因素。如果获得资助，该基金将在5年内每年为一名新的博士后CTCT研究实习生提供工资支持，以参加一个为期两年的、高度结构化的、有指导的输血医学研究培训项目。我们的目标是满足输血医学基础、翻译和跨学科研究培训的公认需求。项目优势由首席研究员/项目主任确定；组织小规模的培训计划，强调高质量的候选人和研究项目；高级教师的参与，具有强大的科学，资金和培训记录；并提供具体的机制来教育研究员和外部评估培训计划。为了进一步强调该项目在培训博士后研究人员方面提供直接个人努力的承诺，教师导师仅限于那些有大量资金和在培训早期职业研究人员方面有良好记录的人。该项目最初于2004年获得资助，到目前为止，已有2人完成了为期两年的项目，其中1人是第二年。。和一个。研究员于2007年7月开始第一年的学习，如果获得资助，计划在2009年续签后完成。迄今为止，我们的T32研究员已经非常成功，从摘要演讲，手稿出版，拨款申请和指导委员会审查证明。项目主任非常感谢对这一重要项目的资助，以及评审人员在总结和支持本申请过程中自愿付出的时间和精力。

Description (provided by applicant): Research in transfusion medicine is vital to the future of the field and, downstream, to the safety of recipients of transfusion and cellular therapies worldwide. The Emory Center for Transfusion and Cellular Therapies (CTCT) is one of the largest, most comprehensive academic transfusion medicine programs in the nation and is dedicated to excellence in clinical service, outstanding basic, translational and clinical research, and the clinical and research-based training of future leaders in the field. The T32 Post-Doctoral Scientist Training Program is a critical element in both ^ contributing to, and fulfilling the mission of, the Emory CTCT. If funded, this grant would provide' salary support for one new post-doctoral CTCT Research Trainee per year for a 5-year period to participate in a two-year, highly structured, mentored training program in transfusion medicine research. We aim to fill the acknowledged need for basic, translation, and interdisciplinary research training in transfusion medicine. The program strengths are identified with the Principal Investigator/ Program Director; the organization of the training plan as a small-scale program emphasizing high-quality candidates and research projects; the involvement of senior faculty with strong scientific, funding, and training records; and the provision of specific mechanisms for educating fellow and externally evaluating the training program. To further underscore the program's commitment to providing direct personal effort in training post-doctoral research" fellows, the faculty mentors have been limited to only those with significant funding and proven track records in training early-career investigators. The Program was initially funded in 2004 and thus far, 2 individuals have completed the two-year program, one individual is in his second year,! .and one.fellow started her first year in July 2007 with planned completion after renewal, if funded, in 2009. To date, our T32 fellows have been highly successful as evidenced by abstract presentations, manuscript publications, grant applications, and Steering Committee review. The Program Director greatly appreciates the funding of this important program and the time and effort volunteered by the reviewers in summarizing and supporting this application.
