DOCTORAL AND POST-DOCTORAL TRAINING IN CRANIOFACIAL BIOLOGY

描述（由申请人提供）：牙科教育的未来和对生物医学研究的支持需要在选择和培训未来的科学家方面进行投资，无论他们是基础研究人员，转化研究人员还是临床研究人员。NIDCR的既定目标之一是“确保有一支多样化和训练有素的劳动力来满足国家在牙科、口腔和颅面研究方面与健康相关的需求”，而这笔拨款正是为了满足这一需求。因此，该赠款要求支持为寻求正规博士学位教育或博士后培训（DDS和博士毕业生）的选定学者干部提供教育和培训，主要侧重于牙科、口面和颅面与健康有关的疾病过程。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The future of dental education and support for biomedical research requires investment in the selection and training of tomorrow's scientists, whether they are basic, translational or clinical researchers. One of the stated goals of the NIDCR to "ensure that a diverse and highly trained workforce is available to address the Nation's health-related needs in dental, oral, and craniofacial research", and this grant addresses this need. This grant thus requests support to provide education and training for a select cadre of scholars seeking either a formal PhD degree education or post-doctoral training (both DDS and PhD graduates) with a major focus on dental, orofacial and craniofacial health-related disease processes.
