Sickle Cell Scholar Component

Sickle Cell学者培训计划是综合Sickle Cell中心赠款教育组成部分的一个组成部分。镰刀细胞奖学金获得者将根据RFA中的指导方针进行选择。在洛杉矶镰刀细胞中心的赞助下，这位学者将有机会进行与L-谷氨酰胺在改善镰状细胞病症状方面的疗效有关的临床和翻译研究、输注镰状细胞病患者心功能障碍的起源、与提供成人护理有关的医疗服务研究，或与粘度在人体血流和氧气输送改变中的作用有关的翻译研究，以及利用工程技术检测镰状细胞病的证据。 该计划的独特之处在于，该学者将由中心教育主任监督，他是一名细胞生物学家和博士生水平的教育者。该人员将负责设定教育里程碑，并系统地监测奖学金获得者对培训计划的进展。 这里还描述了一项暑期高中生计划的管理计划，该计划也将由中心教育主任负责。

The Sickle Cell Scholar training program is an integral part of the education component of the Comprehensive Sickle Cell Center grant. The Sickle Cell Scholar will be chosen according to the guidelines in the RFA. Under the auspices of the Los Angeles Sickle Cell Center, the scholar will have the opportunity to do clinical and translational research related to the efficacy of L-glutamine in ameliorating the symptoms of sickle cell disease, the genesis of cardiac dysfunction in transfused sickle cell patients, the health services research related to provision of adult care, or translational research related to the role of viscosity in alteration of blood flow and oxygen delivery in humans and the use of engineering techniques to detect evidence of sickling. Unique to this program, the scholar will be supervised by the Center education director who is a cell biologist and doctoral level educator. This individual will be responsible for setting educational milestones and systematically monitoring the progress of the scholar to the training program. Also described here is a plan for the management of the summer high school student program that will also be run by the Center education director.
