Training in Trauma and Burn Research

 描述（由申请人提供）：这是一个更新补助金申请，为博士后T32培训计划提供持续的资金，该培训计划名为“创伤和烧伤研究培训”，目前已进入第14年。该培训计划的目标是准备医生科学家进行创伤科学的临床应用和转化研究。 该计划征求年轻医生在外科住院医师计划和住院医师在有关创伤，烧伤和重症监护医学学科的应用程序，谁希望进入烧伤和休克创伤研究所（BSTRI）在洛约拉大学芝加哥的创伤学为期两年的强化研究培训。Richard L. Gamelli，医学博士，BSTRI主任，Loyola烧伤中心主任，Loyola大学芝加哥健康科学高级副总裁兼教务长，将继续担任培训补助金的项目主任和首席研究员。培训计划教师由资金充足的基础科学家，临床科学家和临床医生组成的多学科小组，具有积极的研究计划。教师的兴趣各不相同，但高度互补，范围从检查和调节局部反应损伤，潜在的分子机制的研究创伤性损伤和临床流行病学结果研究后的全身反应的分析。培训教师谁担任T32资助的学员的主要导师持有基础科学和临床部门和研究机构的主要和次要任命。这使受训人员有广泛的研究领域可供选择。此外，培训计划提供了独特的机会，获得额外的研究生学位，而在培训（生物伦理学硕士，科学硕士在临床研究方法，公共卫生硕士），这将进一步加强科学的职业发展。T32培训计划目前每年支持两名学员;其他学员由慈善机构等其他来源提供支持。下一个周期的目标是将该方案扩大到每年四名T32资助的受训人员。我们提供了招聘代表性不足的少数民族的详细计划，其中包括我们在地方和国家一级的努力，以及一项全面计划，以促进少数民族青年学生在学校、本科和医学院一级的教育和指导机会。培训计划强调每个受训者与其导师之间的密切工作关系。个人培训和发展计划促进受训者的职业发展和培训机会。培训计划包括密集的实验室研究，研讨会，期刊 俱乐部，培训在补助金写作，并在统计和研究生物伦理学教学课程书面研究建议，正式的研究报告，和半年评估是必需的所有学员。我们的长期目标是增加临床医生和博士科学家的数量，他们有资格和动力共同努力解决过渡性创伤研究中的基本问题。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a renewal grant application to provide continued funding for the post-doctoral T32 training program entitled "Training in Trauma and Burn Research", which is currently in year 14. The goal of this training program is to prepare physician-scientists to perform clinically applicable and translational research in trauma science. The program solicits applications from young physicians in surgery residency programs and resident physicians in disciplines related to trauma, burn and critical care medicine, who wish to enter a two-year period of intensive research training in traumatology in the Burn and Shock Trauma Research Institute (BSTRI) at Loyola University Chicago. Richard L. Gamelli, MD, Director of the BSTRI, Chief of the Loyola Burn Center and Senior Vice President and Provost of Health Sciences of Loyola University Chicago, will continue to serve as the Program Director and Principal Investigator of the Training Grant. The training program faculty consists of a multidisciplinary group of well-funded basic scientists, clinician-scientists and clinicians with active research programs. The faculty interests are varied yet highly complementary, and range from the examination and modulation of the local response to injury, the study of the underlying molecular mechanisms to the analyses of systemic responses following traumatic insults and clinical-epidemiological outcomes research. Training faculty who serve as primary mentors for T32-funded trainees hold primary and secondary appointments in basic science and clinical departments and research institutes. This gives trainees a wide range of research areas from which to choose. In addition, the training program provides the unique opportunity to obtain additional graduate degrees while in training (Masters of Arts in Bioethics, Masters of Science in in Clinical Research Methods, Masters of Public Health), which will further enhance scientific career development. The T32 training program currently supports two trainees per year; additional trainees are supported by other sources, such as philanthropy. A goal for the next cycle is to expand the program to four T32 funded trainees per year. A detailed plan for the recruitment of underrepresented minorities, which includes our efforts at local and national levels and a comprehensive plan to promote educational and mentorship opportunities for young minority students at school, undergraduate and medical school levels are provided. The training plan emphasizes a close working relationship between each trainee and their mentor. Individual Training and Development Plans facilitate the trainee's career development and training opportunities. The training plan includes intensive laboratory research, seminars, journal clubs, training in grant writing, and didactic coursework in both statistics and research bioethics Written research proposals, formal research presentations, and semi-annual evaluations are required for all trainees. Our long-term goal is to increase the number of clinician and PhD scientists who are qualified and motivated to work together to address fundamental questions in transitional trauma research.
