Short Term Research Training: Students in Health Professional Schools

 描述(由申请人提供)：耶鲁大学医学院在培养医学生从事学术医学和研究工作方面有着悠久的传统和成就记录。这项申请是一项新的拨款申请，请求NIDDK支持医学生(短期培训：卫生专业学校的学生)主要与NIDDK资助的研究人员一起开展研究。续订的目的是在耶鲁大学医学院最杰出的实验室和培训地点为选定的博士前医学生提供研究方面的强化短期培训。具体的实验室经验将从基础分子生物学、细胞和器官生理学到心血管和肺部疾病的应用临床研究。该项目旨在吸引最优秀的耶鲁大学医学生成为生物医学科学领域的内科科学家。一份广泛的后续调查表明，在以前受过资助的学生中，后续的研究培训、研究效率和教师任命水平很高(40.2%)。学员将根据完成耶鲁大学医学院一年课程成绩良好的博士前医学学生的申请而被挑选出来。每年将根据计划研究的正式书面建议的质量以及导师和培训环境的质量，以竞争性方式挑选30名学生参加这一短期培训支持。参加的科室和科室包括：细胞生物学、细胞和分子生理学、泌尿外科、内科，包括内分泌学、肾脏病、消化系统疾病、肝脏病学、血液学、急诊内科、流行病学和公共卫生、遗传学、免疫生物学、实验室医学、分子生物物理学和生物化学、分子、细胞和发育生物学、儿科(内分泌和肾脏病、围产期医学)、药理学、泌尿外科和相关的跨学科中心。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Yale University School of Medicine has a long tradition and record of accomplishments in the training of medical students for careers in academic medicine and research. This application is a new grant requesting NIDDK support for medical students (Short-Term Training: Students in Health Professional Schools) to carry out research primarily with NIDDK funded investigators The purpose of the renewal is to provide intensive short-term training in research for selected pre-doctoral medical students in the most outstanding laboratories and training sites in the Yale University School of Medicine. The specific laboratory experiences will range from fundamental molecular biology, cellular and organ physiology to applied clinical research in cardiovascular and pulmonary disease. The program is designed to attract the most highly qualified Yale medical students into careers as physician-scientists in the biomedical sciences. An extensive follow-up documents a high level of subsequent research training, research productivity, and faculty appointments (40.2%) among previously supported students. Trainees will be chosen upon application of pre-doctoral medical students who have completed in good standing one year of the curriculum of the Yale University School of Medicine. 30 students per year will be selected competitively for this short-term training support on the basis of the quality of a formal written proposal of the planned research and the quality of the mentor and the training environment. The participating departments and sections will include: cell biology, cellular and molecular physiology, urology, internal medicine, including endocrinology, nephrology, digestive diseases, hepatology, hematology, emergency medicine, epidemiology and public health, genetics, immunobiology, laboratory medicine, molecular biophysics and biochemistry, molecular, cellular & developmental biology, pediatrics (endocrinology and nephrology, perinatal medicine), pharmacology, urology and related interdisciplinary centers.
