University of Michigan Anesthesiology Post Doctoral Research Training Program

描述（由申请人提供）：密歇根大学（UM）是美国最大、排名最高的公立大学之一，也是研究生和研究生研究培训的主要中心。安娜堡校区有19所学校和学院，UM的教师和学生接受跨学科和多学科的培训和研究。正因为如此，澳大在2010-2011年的研究支出总额达到12.4亿美元，通常在全国排名前五。新提出的NIGMS T32麻醉学博士后培训计划将为有意从事麻醉学学术工作的博士后学员提供支持，并接受我们机构的跨学科性质。这个T32将大量借用澳大临床和转化科学奖（CTSA），该奖项在为转化生物医学研究人员创建了许多创新的博士后培训项目方面非常成功。T32项目的一个独特之处在于，我们的指导团队、课程和研究项目都强调，成功的麻醉学研究人员需要有能力进行（并领导）跨学科的研究。我们设想这一过程涉及到包括科学家在内的个人团队，他们可以成功地双向将科学知识从实验室转化为临床实践，再转化为实践。因此，我们所有的受训者都将有一个旨在为他们提供对特定科学学科必要的“深入”理解（即“行走”），并结合对其他学科和/或与翻译连续体相关的点所面临的术语和问题的“广泛”理解（即“说到做到”）。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Michigan (UM) is one of the largest and most highly ranked public universities in the country, and a major center for graduate and post-graduate research training. The Ann Arbor campus is home to 19 schools and colleges, and UM faculty and students embrace inter- and multi-disciplinary training and research. Because of this, UM typically ranks in the top five universities in total research expenditures nationally, totaling $1.24B in 2010-2011. This proposed new NIGMS T32 Postdoctoral Training Program in Anesthesiology will provide support to post-doctoral trainees interested in careers in academic anesthesiology, and who embrace the interdisciplinary nature of of our institution. This T32 will heavily borrow from the UM Clinical and Translational Sciences Award (CTSA), which has been very successful at creating a number of innovative post-doctoral training programs for translational biomedical researchers. A unique aspect of this T32 program is that our mentoring teams, curricula, and research projects emphasize that successful anesthesiology researchers need to be competent in performing (and leading) inter-disciplinary research. We envision this process involving teams of individuals who include scientists that can successfully bi-directionally translate scientific knowledge from bench to bedside to practice - and back. Thus, all of our trainees will have a program designed that will provide them a necessarily "deep" understanding (i.e., "walk the walk") of a particular scientific discipline combined with a "broad" understanding (i.e., "talk the talk") of the terminology and issues facing their colleagues in other disciplines and/or related to points along the translational continuum.
