Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine Research Training Grant

描述（由申请人提供）：我们的计划培训医生，科学家和博士后博士基础和临床科学家在多学科合作的方法，在肺部和重症监护医学临床相关的研究。主要目标是为他们的学术生涯做好准备，其特点是独立的研究生产力和其他人在这些学科的成功培训。该计划的显着特点是其培训教师的质量和专业知识，其多学科和不同的研究方法的整合，其在培养院士的成功，以及其动态响应不断变化的需求，培养年轻科学家。研究培训可在三个轨道：呼吸细胞和分子生物学;综合呼吸生理学;和临床调查。每个轨道都有经验丰富的导师提供了一个丰富的研究课题为学员，一个研究学习小组作为一个中心焦点，和教学课程工作，丰富的研究培训经验，通过暴露学员更广泛的方法和研究课题的临界质量。临床研究轨道包括在流行病学或卫生服务部门的硕士学位课程招生。除了这三个轨道，还有一个紧密结合的翻译研究培训计划。参加其中一个主要培训轨道的学员希望成为翻译研究者，他们将接受另一个学科的交叉培训，以补充他们的主要轨道。他们参加两个轨道的研究小组，有一个扩大的指导计划，并在我们的instituional CTSA转化健康科学研究所的积极成员。该计划的特点是一个完善的过程中选择研究导师和项目在第一年（临床实习生），其中包括咨询每个学员由高级培训教师随后在秋季一周，在此期间，学员被解除临床责任进行面试选定的潜在导师。正式的指导委员会跟踪每个研究员在实现研究培训目标方面的进展。受训者在几个论坛上介绍他们的研究，包括在实验室会议上以及在进展小组中更有条理的研究工作，大学范围内的肺部和重症监护研究会议以及区域和国家会议。培训包括指导手稿和赠款写作和研究报告的审查过程。制定了一个导师发展和评估方案。这种支持性，灵活性和多样性的环境一直是我们成功留住学术医学学员的关键。相关性（参见说明）：该计划强调以道德和科学负责的方式进行研究，并持续致力于吸引来自代表性不足的少数民族的个人。

Description (provided by applicant): Our program trains physician-scientists and post-doctoral PhD basic and clinical scientists in a multidisciplinary collaboarative approach to clinically relevant research in pulmonary and critical care medicine. The primary objective is to prepare them for academic careers characterized by independent research productivity and the successful training of others in these disciplines. The program's distinguishing characteristics are the quality and expertise of its training faculty, its integration of multiple disciplines and diverse research methodologies, its success in training academicians, and its dynamic response to changing needs for training young scientists. Research training is available in three tracks: respiratory cell and molecular biology; integrative respiratory physiology; and clinical investigation. Each track has a critical mass of experienced mentors providing a rich range of research topics for the trainee, a research study group as a central focus, and didactic course work to enrich the research training experience by exposing trainees to a broader range of methodology and research topics. The clinical investigation track includes enrollment in a Masters degree program in the Departments of either Epidemiology or Health Services. In addition to the three tracks, there is a tightly integrated Translational Research Training Program. Trainees enrolled in one of the primary training tracks who desire to become translational investigators receive cross- training in another discipline to complement their primary track. They participate in the research study groups of both tracks, have an expanded mentoring program, and are active members of the Institute of Translational Health Sciences within our insttituional CTSA. The program features a well-established process for selecting research mentors and a project during the first year (clinical trainees) that includes counseling each trainee by senior training faculty followed by a week in the fall during which trainees are relieved of their clinical responsibilities to conduct interviews with selected potential mentors. Formal mentoring committees track each fellows' progress toward their research training goals. Trainees present their research in several forums includng infernally at laboratory meetings as well as in more structured research works in progress groups, a University-wide pulmonary and critical care research conference and at regional and national meetings. Training includes instruction in manuscript and grant writing and a review process for research presentations. A program for mentor development and assessment is in place. This supportive, flexible, and diverse environment has been the key to our success in retaining our trainees in academic medicine. RELEVANCE (See instructions): The program stresses the conduct of research in an ethical and scientifically responsible manner and has an on-going commitment to attract individuals from under-represented minorities.
