Advanced Training in Oral Biology

描述(申请人提供)：这项申请的目标是获得支持，我们的长期和非常成功的口腔健康研究培训计划。我们将利用新的机会，加强我们培养有前途的科学家的传统，使他们成为国家牙科、医学和健康相关研究机构的研究人员。拟议的计划将在BASC和翻译研究中促进跨学科培训机会，以解决口腔健康和疾病，以培养一支训练有素并最终成为独立调查人员的干部队伍。这一应用促进了UB内部几个单位之间的持续合作，包括牙科医学院、医学和生物医学学院、工程和应用科学学院、公共卫生和健康专业学院、布法罗本体研究中心和罗斯威尔公园癌症研究所(RPCI)。此外，亚利桑那大学生物信息学和生命科学卓越中心(COEBLS)在为我们的学员提供有趣和新颖的研究机会方面发挥了重要作用。该计划的组织和要求集中在口腔健康研究上，但又利用了许多其他可提供的跨学科和交叉培训机会。该计划将支持两条培训途径：目标1.为牙医和非牙医实习生提供博士(PhD)培训目标2.为DDS和/或博士后研究员提供博士后培训，使其成为牙科、口腔和颅面研究领域的独立研究人员，以满足口腔健康研究计划中心的组织和要求，同时利用众多跨学科、跨专业和交叉培训机会。实现这些目标将使受训者、研究人员和研究人员受益于广泛的学科和培训水平。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this application is to obtain support for our long-standing and extremely successful training program in oral health research. We will take advantage of new opportunities to strengthen our tradition of training promising scientists to become leaders as research faculty in the nation's dental, medical, and health-related research institutions. The proposed program will foster interdisciplinary training opportunities in both basc and translational research that address oral health and diseases in order to produce a cadre of well-trained and eventually independent investigators. This application promotes continuing collaboration between several units within UB, including the Schools of Dental Medicine, Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Engineering and Applied Sciences, and Public Health and Health Professions, the Buffalo Center for Ontological Research, and the Roswell Park Cancer Institute (RPCI). Also, the Center for Excellence in Bioinformatics and Life Sciences (COEBLS) at UB has taken a prominent role in providing interesting and novel research opportunities for our trainees. The organization and requirements of the program center on oral health research, yet take advantage of the numerous other interdisciplinary and cross-training opportunities available. This program will support two training pathways: Aim 1. Doctoral (PhD) training for dentist and non-dentist trainees Aim 2. Post-Doctoral training for DDS and/or PhD fellows to develop as independent investigators in dental, oral, and craniofacial research The organization and requirements of the program center on oral health research, yet take advantage of numerous interdisciplinary, interprofessional, and cross-training opportunities. Implementing these aims will benefit trainees, investigators, and research staff across a broad range of disciplines and levels of training.
