Translational Research Skills Development Core

项目总结（见说明）： 转化和研究技能发展核心（核心D）将是犹他州大学血栓形成转化研究中心（U2 M2-TRCT）培训年轻研究人员的主要工具。核心D将利用犹他州大学现有的基础设施，并在这样做，将提供一个独特的培训环境，为医学博士，博士和MD-PhD科学家在不同的职业阶段。这包括利用犹他州临床转化科学中心（CCTS），四个T32计划，HHMI医学博士到格拉德博士科学家培训计划，MD-PhD计划和医学生暑期研究计划。所有这些项目都由U2 M2-TRCT研究人员指导或共同指导。核心D将利用这一基础设施，严格准备年轻的研究人员的工作台到床边的研究事业有关的代谢和/或血栓形成。核心为所有类型的年轻投资者提供了一个深入和有凝聚力的教育计划。该课程包括专注于新陈代谢和血栓形成的专业课程。核心D还包括个性化辅导， U2 M2-TRCT建立了科学家，将介绍年轻的研究人员的基本和转化研究的来龙去脉。核心D的主要目标是帮助年轻的研究人员为竞争性赠款申请提供初步数据。与此同时，年轻的研究人员将参加资助写作研讨会和研究进展会议，为介绍和评论 研究计划。U2 M2-TRCT项目已经包括了几位年轻的和新兴的研究人员，他们参与了本次提交的准备工作。这些研究人员以前曾接受过U2 M2-TRCT高级科学家的培训，成功申请并获得了青年研究者奖，并且正在走向独立研究生涯。核心D将继续提供肥沃的环境， 这些研究人员和其他医学博士，博士，和MD-PhD学员谁将进入该计划在未来几年的发展。

PROJECT SUMMARY (See instructions): The Translational and Research Skills Development Core (Core D) will be the primary vehicle by which the University of Utah Molecular MedicineTranslational Research Center in Thrombosis (U2M2-TRCT) trains young investigators. Core D will take advantage of existing infrastructure at the University of Utah and, in doing so, will provide a unique training environment for MD, PhD, and MD-PhD scientists at various career stages. This includes utilization of the University of Utah Clinical Center in Translational Science (CCTS), four T32 programs, a HHMI med-to-grad PhD scientist training program, the MD-PhD program, and the Medical Student Summer research program. All of these programs are directed or co-directed by U2M2-TRCT investigators. Core D will use this infrastructure to rigorously prepare young investigators for bench to-bedside research careers related to metabolism and/or thrombosis. The Core provides an in-depth and cohesive education program for all types of young invesfigators. This curriculum includes specialized classes that focus on metabolism and thrombosis. Core D also includes individualized mentoring with U2M2-TRCT established scientists that will introduce young investigators to the ins-and-outs of basic and translational research. A primary objective of Core D will be to help young investigators generate preliminary data for competitive grant applications. In parallel, the young investigators will participate in grant writing workshops and research-in-progress sessions that provide a platform for presentation and critique of research plans. The U2M2-TRCT program already includes several young and emerging investigators who participated in preparing this submission. These investigators have previously trained with U2M2-TRCT senior scientists, have successfully applied and received young investigator awards, and are well on their way to independent research careers. Core D will continue to provide a fertile environment that fosters the development of these investigators and other MD, PhD, and MD-PhD trainees who will enter the program over the next several years.
