Multidisciplinary Research Training in Pulmonary Medicine

项目摘要 本提案描述了我们在肺和危重病科的研究培训计划 护理医学。在这个项目中，我们提供了一个多学科的方法来肺部研究 以及整合了最先进的基础科学、临床试验和患者结果的医学。 四名博士后研究员（两名MD肺和重症监护医学研究员，两名博士）和 两名研究生将获得两年的研究经费。此外，我们还将在 为多样性候选人提供短期暑期研究经验。研究将 辅以学员参加项目范围内的研究研讨会、期刊俱乐部， 教学课程我们相信，这样的项目范围内的会议和互动对于 为年轻科学家提供了对自己项目之外的研究的广阔视角， 避免过早的过度专业化和不适当的狭隘研究重点。 课程工作包括一个关于肺病和研究的特定课程。它还 包括在研究和生物统计负责任的行为必修课程。我们还将 提供适合从事研究工作的学员的各种课程。这些 包括实验设计、基金撰写、手稿撰写、人类调查 流行病学方法和职业发展。这些都是在我们的研究生课程提供， 我们基于CTSA的人类调查员计划和其他大学部门。 研究导师是由经验丰富的科学家提供丰富的经验 培养年轻科学家。该计划还旨在通过以下方式培养教师导师 将初级导师与高级导师配对。大约一半的教师进行研究 主要涉及肺部。其余的人在细胞和分子生物学领域有特定的专业知识 生物学常用于肺部疾病的研究。互动和协同作用 实验室之间的这一计划增加了丰富和广泛的培训环境。我们 鉴于我们的培训计划相对年轻， 在生物医学研究中获得独立的研究资金，教师或行业职位 以及其他著名机构的博士后职位。

Project Summary This proposal describes our research training program in the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine. In this program, we offer a multidisciplinary approach to Pulmonary research and medicine that integrates state of the art basic science, clinical trials and patient outcomes. Four post-doctoral fellows (two MD Pulmonary & Critical Care Medicine Fellows, two PhDs) and two graduate students will be offered two years of research funding. In addition, we will also be offering short term summer research experiences for diversity candidates. Research will be supplemented by trainee participation in program wide research seminars, journal clubs, and didactic coursework. It is our belief that such program wide meetings and interactions are vital to providing young scientists with a broad perspective on research outside their own projects, avoiding early over-specialization and an inappropriately narrow research focus. Course work includes a program specific course on pulmonary disease and research. It also includes a mandatory course in Responsible Conduct in Research and biostatistics. We will also offer a wide range of courses appropriate to trainees embarking on a research career. These include experimental design, grant writing, manuscript writing, human investigations, epidemiological methods and career development. These are offered in our graduate programs, our CTSA based Human Investigators Program and other university departments. Research mentorship is provided by a faculty of seasoned scientists with extensive experience in training young scientists. This program is also structured to develop faculty mentors by pairing junior mentors with more senior mentors. About half the faculty conducts research primarily involving the lung. The remainder have specific areas of expertise in cell and molecular biology that are frequently applied to the study of lung diseases. Interactions and synergy among the laboratories in this program add to the rich and broad training environment. Our trainees have been very successful given the relative youth of our training program including achieving independent research funding, faculty or industry positions in biomedical research and postdoctoral positions at other prestigious institutions.
