Multidisciplinary Research Training in Pulmonary Medicine

项目总结 本提案描述了我们在肺和重症监护医学部的研究培训计划 (PCCM)在OHSU。在这个项目中，我们提供了一个多学科的肺部研究和医学方法 它集成了最先进的基础科学、临床试验和患者结局研究。三名博士后 研究员(医学博士或博士)和三名研究生将被提供一年或两年的研究 资金问题。 作为研究的补充，学员将参加项目范围的研究研讨会、期刊俱乐部和 说教式的课程作业我们相信，这种计划范围内的会议和互动对于提供 年轻的科学家对自己项目之外的研究有广泛的看法，避免过早 过度专业化和不适当地狭隘的研究重点。 课程作业包括一门关于肺部疾病和研究的特定课程， 肺内科。我们亦会提供一系列适合学员进修的课程。 研究生涯。其中包括实验设计、拨款写作、手稿写作、人类调查、 流行病学方法和职业发展。这些都是在我们的研究生课程中提供的，我们的OCTRI 人类调查计划和其他大学系。 研究导师由一群有丰富培训经验的资深科学家提供。 年轻的科学家。大约一半的教职员工进行的研究主要涉及肺。其余的人已经 经常应用于肺研究的细胞和分子生物学的特定领域的专门知识 疾病。该计划中的实验室之间的互动和协同作用增加了丰富和广泛的培训 环境。考虑到我们培训计划的相对年轻，我们的学员非常成功，包括 获得独立研究资助，在生物医学研究方面获得教师或行业职位，以及博士后 在其他著名学府的职位。

PROJECT SUMMARY This proposal describes our research training program in the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine (PCCM) at OHSU. In this program, we offer a multidisciplinary approach to pulmonary research and medicine that integrates state-of-the-art basic science, clinical trials, and patient outcomes research. Three postdoctoral fellows (MD or PhD) and three graduate students will be offered one and possibly two years of research funding. Research will be supplemented by trainee participation in program-wide research seminars, journal clubs, and didactic coursework. It is our belief that such program-wide meetings and interactions are vital to providing young scientists with a broad perspective on research outside their own projects, avoiding early overspecialization and an inappropriately narrow research focus. Coursework includes a program-specific course on pulmonary disease and research, Perspectives in Pulmonary Medicine. We will also offer a wide range of courses appropriate to trainees embarking on a research career. These include experimental design, grant writing, manuscript writing, human investigations, epidemiological methods, and career development. These are offered in our graduate programs, our OCTRI Human Investigations Program, and other University departments. Research mentorship is provided by a faculty of seasoned scientists with extensive experience in training young scientists. About half the faculty conducts research primarily involving the lung. The remainder have specific areas of expertise in cell and molecular biology that are frequently applied to the study of lung diseases. Interactions and synergy among the laboratories in this program add to the rich and broad training environment. Our trainees have been very successful given the relative youth of our training program, including achieving independent research funding, faculty or industry positions in biomedical research, and postdoctoral positions at other prestigious institutions.
