DOCTORAL AND POST-DOCTORAL TRAINING IN CRANIOFACIAL BIOLOGY

描述(申请人提供)：牙科教育和支持生物医学研究的未来需要投资于未来科学家的选择和培训，无论他们是基础研究人员、转化型研究人员还是临床研究人员。NIDCR规定的目标之一是“确保拥有一支多样化和训练有素的劳动力队伍，以满足国家在牙科、口腔和颅面研究方面与健康相关的需求”，这笔赠款满足了这一需求。因此，这笔赠款要求提供支助，为寻求正规博士学位教育或博士后培训(DDS和博士毕业生)的一批学者提供教育和培训，重点是牙科、口腔和颅面健康相关的疾病过程。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The future of dental education and support for biomedical research requires investment in the selection and training of tomorrow's scientists, whether they are basic, translational or clinical researchers. One of the stated goals of the NIDCR to "ensure that a diverse and highly trained workforce is available to address the Nation's health-related needs in dental, oral, and craniofacial research", and this grant addresses this need. This grant thus requests support to provide education and training for a select cadre of scholars seeking either a formal PhD degree education or post-doctoral training (both DDS and PhD graduates) with a major focus on dental, orofacial and craniofacial health-related disease processes.
