Comprehensive Training Program in Oral Biology

响应NIDCR发布的PAR-10-170计划，为 针对牙科和颅面工作人员，提出了T90/R90口腔生物学综合培训计划。 该建议建立在20年来高效的T32口语培训计划经验的基础上 在佛罗里达大学牙科学院(UFCD)攻读生物学，并将提供广度和深度的培训 提供给NIDCR指定为高度优先的多个领域的基础和临床科学家。这个 口腔生物学综合培训计划涵盖的科学领域包括口腔感染性疾病 疾病，口腔：系统健康联系、自身免疫、骨生物学、基因治疗和干细胞 生物学、口腔癌、唾液腺生物学和疼痛。为了实现我们的目标，一支经验丰富、 资金充足的基础和临床研究人员已被召集起来，提供一套广泛的培训 具有与口腔健康和疾病直接相关的生物医学方面的经验。已建立并已 UFCD和UF医学院经过时间考验的跨学科研究培训计划将是 利用，特别强调生物医学科学的跨学科博士项目和支持的CTSA 临床与翻译科学研究所。受训人员将包括i)传统博士生 从事与口腔健康相关的研究，ii)我们新开发的DMD-PhD项目的双学位候选人， 三)寻求博士和临床专业的DMD/DDS持有者，四)传统的博士后科学家，以及五) DMD-DDS持有者寻求高级博士后培训，为牙科学术生涯做准备。 临床调查方面的正式培训将提供给该计划支持的所有个人。它的用途 我们广泛的教育、科学和临床资源的结合使我们能够高度发展 综合但足够灵活的培训选择，以满足不同受训人员群体的需要。 总体而言，这些计划将培养一批高技能和互动的科学家，他们将产生 新知识并将发现转化为检测、预防、治疗和治疗方面的切实进展 口腔和颅面复合体的疾病和异常。

In response to Program Announcement PAR-10-170 from the NIDCR to provide Institutional Training for a Dental and Craniofacial Workforce, a T90/R90 Comprehensive Training Program in Oral Biology is proposed. The proposal builds on twenty years of experience with a highly productive T32 Training Program in Oral Biology at the University of Florida College of Dentistry (UFCD) and will provide breadth and depth in training to basic and clinician scientists in multiple areas that are designated as high priority by the NIDCR. The scientific areas encompassed in this Comprehensive Training Program in Oral Biology include Oral Infectious Diseases, Oral:Systemic Health Connections, Autoimmunity, Bone Biology, Gene Therapy and Stem Cell Biology, Oral Cancers, Salivary Gland Biology, and Pain. To accomplish our goals, a team of experienced and well-funded basic and clinical researchers has been assembled to provide an extensive set of training experiences in the biomedical sciences that are directly relevant to oral health and diseases. Established and time-tested interdisciplinary research training programs in the UFCD and the UF College of Medicine will be utilized, with particular emphasis on the Interdisciplinary PhD Program in Biomedical Sciences and the CTSAsupported Clinical and Translational Science Institute. Trainees will include i) traditional PhD students conducting oral health-related research, ii) dual-degree candidates in our newly-developed DMD-PhD program, iii) DMD/DDS holders seeking a PhD and clinical specialty, iv) traditional post-doctoral PhD scientists, and v) DMD-DDS holders seeking advanced post-doctoral training to prepare them for careers in academic dentistry. Formal training in Clinical Investigation will be available to all individuals supported by the program. The use of combinations of our extensive educational, scientific and clinical resources has allowed us to develop highly integrated yet sufficiently flexible training options to meet the needs of a heterogeneous group of trainees. Collectively, these programs will produce a group of highly skilled and interactive scientists who will generate new knowledge and translate discoveries to tangible advances in the detection, prevention, treatment and cure of diseases and abnormalities of the oral and craniofacial complex.
