Hematology Clinical Research Training Program

描述(申请人提供)：宾夕法尼亚大学血液学临床研究培训项目成立于1978年，已为132名男性和女性提供培训。该计划的主要目标是帮助不同的个人群体为成为血液学和血液疾病这一定义广泛的学科的研究人员的职业生涯做准备。教职人员包括37名所有学术级别的教员，并制定了酌情增加或撤出教员的计划。每年最多招收12名新学员(8名博士后和4名博士后)。候选人最初主要从参加内科和儿科临床血液学培训计划的医生中挑选出来。自1998年以来，我们还支持非内科医生的博士后实习生，自2004年以来，我们还支持博士后实习生，他们中的大多数都在宾夕法尼亚大学的医学博士项目中。与MD-PhD项目的联系利用了PI作为该项目主任的角色。纳入博士前学生反映了我们的信念，即在培训的早期让有才华的学生参与与血液学相关的研究，作为 科学家和内科科学家。该计划的基本特点包括正式和非正式咨询、技能研讨会、参加当地研讨会和全国会议、课程安排、负责任的研究工作培训和年度研讨会。MD博士后研究员可以选择参加生物医学研究生研究(BGS)博士项目。结果。117名博士后实习生(68名医学博士、17名医学博士和32名博士)和15名博士后实习生(10名医学博士和5名博士)得到了支持。在完成所有阶段培训的109人中，56人(50%)在学术机构担任全职工作，13人(12%)受雇于工业，1人(1%)在FDA工作，3人(3%)在NIH或红十字会提供输血服务(总计67%)，我们认为所有这些都是适当的结果。在那些目前拥有全职学术职位的人中，至少68%的人目前拥有或曾经拥有NIH的研究资金。申请书中包括了一份详细的计划，旨在吸引和培训不同的男性和女性群体，以个性化发展计划为基准监测他们的进步，并接收学员、校友和教职员工的反馈。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Hematology Clinical Research Training Program at the University of Pennsylvania was established in 1978 and has provided training for 132 men and women. The program's primary goal is to help a diverse group of individuals prepare for careers as investigators in the broadly-defined discipline of hematology and blood disorders. The faculty includes 37 trainers of all academic ranks and a plan is in place for adding or withdrawing trainers when appropriate. Up to 12 new trainees are accepted each year (8 postdocs and 4 predocs). Candidates were originally were drawn primarily from physicians enrolled in the clinical hematology training programs in the Departments of Medicine and Pediatrics. Since 1998 we have also supported postdoctoral trainees who are not physicians and, since 2004, predoctoral trainees, most of whom are in Penn's MD-PhD program. The connection to the MD-PhD program takes advantage of the PI's role as the director of that program. The inclusion of predoctoral students reflects our belief in the long term value of involving talented students to hematology-related research at an earlier point in their training as scientists and physician-scientists. Essential features of the program include formal and informal advising, skills workshops, attendance at local seminars and national conferences, coursework, training in the responsible conduct of research, and an annual symposium. MD postdoctoral fellows have the option of enrolling in a Biomedical Graduate Studies (BGS) PhD program. Outcomes. 117 postdoctoral trainees (68 MD, 17 MD-PhD and 32 PhD) and 15 pre-doctoral trainees (10 MD-PhD and 5 PhD) have been supported. Of the 109 who have completed all stages of training, 56 (50%) hold full-time appointments at an academic institution, 13 (12%) are employed in industry, 1 (1%) works at the FDA, and 3 (3%) run transfusion services at the NIH or Red Cross (total 67%), all of which we consider appropriate outcomes. Of those who currently hold fulltime academic appointments, at least 68% currently hold or have had NIH research funding. A detailed plan for attracting and training a diverse group of men and women, monitoring their progress benchmarked with an individualized development plan, and receiving feedback from trainees, alumni and faculty is included in the application.
