Training Program in Oxidative Stress and Nutrition

描述（由申请人提供）：这是营养和氧化应激培训计划的竞争性更新。培训计划的主要目标是为营养科学领域成功的博士研究生做好准备。重点是营养作为代谢疾病、癌症和神经科学/衰老中氧化应激的调节剂。该培训项目位于营养科学研究生中心（GCNS），这是一个跨部门和学院边界的多学科中心。培训计划的目标是提供最先进的营养科学教育，重点是氧化应激，并提供高质量实验室研究的道德行为培训，重点是氧化应激的营养调节。27名培训教师，都是GCNS的成员，将围绕3个主题领域（代谢性疾病、癌症、神经科学/衰老）提供培训，这些主题领域代表了当前研究的实力，以及对营养和慢性疾病领域具有重要意义的研究领域。根据项目的发展和培训专业知识，需要为4名学员提供支持。学生将从综合生物医学科学项目或直接进入GCNS招募，增加申请学生的数量和质量。培训计划的优势包括新修订的课程，整合了营养科学的基础和临床方面，培训具有丰富培训经验的教师，以及与培训计划直接相关的生产性和资助的研究项目，培训和促进主题领域研究的研究核心，利用多学科中心增加和多样化培训机会。培训计划的一个独特方面是一年一度的营养和氧化应激专题讨论会，由受训者组织，为受训者提供了与营养科学和氧化应激领域的全国知名研究人员互动的绝佳机会。一个多pi模型已纳入更新，以确保严格关注营养科学和氧化应激的主要重点领域。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a competing renewal of a training program in Nutrition and Oxidative Stress. The primary goal of the training program is to prepare PhD students for successful careers in nutritional sciences. The focus is on nutrition as a modulator of oxidative stress in metabolic diseases, cancer and neuroscience/aging. The training program is located in the Graduate Center for Nutritional Sciences (GCNS), a multi-disciplinary center crossing departmental and college boundaries. The goals of the training program are to provide state-of-the-art education in nutritional sciences with an emphasis on oxidative stress, and to provide training in ethical conduct of high quality laboratory research focused on nutritional modulation of oxidative stress. Twenty seven training faculty, all members of the GCNS, will provide training around 3 theme areas (metabolic disease, cancer, neuroscience/aging) representing strength of current research, and research areas significant to the fields of nutrition and chronic disease. Support for 4 trainees is requested based on growth of the programs and training expertise. Students wil [sic] be recruited from an integrated biomedical sciences program or directly into the GCNS, increasing the number and quality of the applicant pool of students. Strengths of the training program include a newly revised curriculum integrating basic and clinical aspects of nutritional sciences, training faculty with extensive training experience and productive and funded research programs of direct relevance to the training program, research cores for training and facilitation of research within the theme areas, the use of a multidisciplinary center to increase and diversify opportunities for training. A unique aspect of the training program is an annual symposia [sic] on nutrition and oxidative stress, organized by the trainees with excellent opportunites [sic] for trainees to interact with nationally prominent researchers in the fields of nutritional sciences and oxidative stress. A multiple-PI model has been incorporated into the renewal to assure rigorous attention to the major focus areas of nutritional sciences and oxidative stress.
