Multidisciplinary Rheumatology Training Program

项目摘要 约翰霍普金斯大学风湿病多学科培训计划(MRTP)的长期目标 大学就是要培养和造就一支优秀的风湿病专家和科学家队伍 增进风湿病患者的知识和改善结果，以及谁会这样做 成为整个生物医学研究企业的领导者。这一目标与NIAMS直接相关 支持培训调查人员，对病因、治疗和预防进行研究 关节炎和肌肉骨骼疾病。 这将通过以下具体目标来实现：(1)在 面向博士后研究员的研究方法，适用于临床、翻译和基础研究 研究；(2)利用临床卓越中心接触明确定义的风湿病患者 人口，使受训人员项目能够在已建立的患者队列中迅速启动；(3)提供 促进研究成功的杰出资源、方法和分析专长；(4) 让学员参与高水平的协作研究项目，解决重要问题并进行测试 在全国知名的多学科项目教师的监督下提出有意义的假设；(5) 为每个学员整合多层次和个性化的指导，以发展有意义的奖学金 和成功的调查事业；(6)评估该计划的结果，并对其进行修改 最大限度地提高其成功。 在本计划中，我们展示了我们开发的卓越的临床和转换基础设施 支持培训和研究。这些基础设施包括高生产率的项目教师和导师， 充满活力的跨部门协作和多学科调查团队，一个强大的机构 承诺在约翰霍普金斯大学进行风湿学博士后培训，并拥有一批强大的实习生 候选人。 体验的核心是主要导师、合作导师和学员之间的密切关系 围绕特定的研究项目。此外，还有个人发展计划、正规课程作业、 和核心会议。我们对学员的教育包括负责任的研究行为、职业生涯方面的培训 策划、拨款撰写和手稿准备。临床科学博士后实习生也可以获得 健康科学硕士学位。 该计划结合了多学科矩阵中单一调查领域的强化培训 合作。只有博士后研究员才有资格参加T32 MRTP，该项目将支持4名博士后 每年培训一次，每次为期1-3年。我们会透过一项 由个人、协作和机构间研究拨款支持的大型互动教员网络。

Project Summary The long-term objective of the T32 Multidisciplinary Rheumatology Training Program (MRTP) at Johns Hopkins University is to train and develop a cadre of outstanding rheumatologists and scientists who will advance knowledge and improve outcomes for people living with rheumatic disease, and who will become leaders across the biomedical research enterprise. This goal is directly relevant to the NIAMS mission to support the training of investigators conducting research into the causes, treatment, and prevention of arthritis and musculoskeletal diseases. This will be accomplished through the following Specific Aims: (1) Provide rigorous instruction in investigational methods to postdoctoral fellows, applicable to the conduct of clinical, translational, and basic research; (2) Utilize clinical centers of excellence to access well-defined rheumatic disease patient populations, enabling trainee projects to be rapidly initiated on established patient cohorts; (3) Provide access to outstanding resources and methodologic and analytic expertise that facilitate research success; (4) Engage trainees in high caliber collaborative research projects that address important questions and test meaningful hypotheses under the supervision of nationally-renowned multi-disciplinary program faculty; (5) Integrate multi-layered and individualized mentorship for each trainee to develop meaningful scholarship and a successful investigative career; (6) Assess the outcomes of this program and make modifications to maximize its success. In this proposal, we demonstrate the outstanding clinical and translational infrastructure we have developed to support training and research. This infrastructure includes highly productive program faculty and mentors, vibrant interdepartmental collaborations and multidisciplinary investigative teams, a robust institutional commitment to postdoctoral training in rheumatology at Johns Hopkins, and a robust pool of trainee candidates. The core of the experience is the close relationship between a primary mentor, co-mentors, and the trainee around specific research projects. This is supplemented by individual development plans, formal course work, and core conferences. Our trainees’ education includes training in the responsible research conduct, career planning, grant writing, and manuscript preparation. Postdoctoral trainees in the clinical sciences can also earn a Masters in Health Sciences Degree. This program combines intensive training in a single area of investigation within a matrix of multidisciplinary collaborations. Only post-doctoral fellows are eligible for the T32 MRTP, which will support 4 post-doctoral trainees annually, each for a period of 1-3 years. A wide range of training opportunities will be provided by a large interactive network of faculty supported by individual, collaborative, and inter-institutional research grants.
