项目总结 免疫学、炎症和传染病的跨学科研究影响着广泛的人类 并通过一项全校范围的研究计划在犹他大学培育了这种疾病。在连接中 通过这些努力，免疫学、炎症和传染病(3i)培训计划寻求带来 在犹他大学健康校园内联合教职员工和实习生，促进合作研究 基础免疫学和翻译免疫学。这项申请获得了大量的机构支持和 请求为5名博士前实习生提供支持。3i培训计划的主要组成部分是个性化的 在校园8个系37名资金雄厚的教职员工的指导下进行科研培训， 由11个研究部门组成。完成资格考试的博士前实习生有资格 获得长达2年的支持。学员由指导委员会从一个规模庞大、竞争激烈的 根据以前的研究成果、一份研究计划书和推荐信收集候选人。它 作为他们正常研究生教育的一部分，实习生将完成他们的课程，参加 在研讨会和务虚会上，在部门背景下介绍他们的研究，撰写论文提案，执行论文 研究，发表结果，并为他们的论文研究辩护。此外，培训方案将加强 通过以下活动进行研究生教育：1)在ARUP进行为期一个月的免疫学轮换 犹他大学附属病理学参考实验室；2)赠款撰写方面的正式培训，导致 提交一份外部赠款提案；3)支持在科学会议上提出数据的旅费；4)每月 与其他培训计划学员和导师一起举办出版研讨会；5)与受邀研讨会互动 演讲者；6)在M&I务虚会或3I研讨会上的年度研究报告；7)有效的指导 利用个人发展计划(IDPs)；和8)研究伦理方面的正式指导，包括 设计和实施严谨和可重复的研究项目。考虑到特殊的训练轨迹 我们的师资记录，支持研究的可用资源和强有力的机构支持，3i培训 该计划将为培养下一代专注于人类疾病的免疫学家提供一个理想的平台。

PROJECT SUMMARY Interdisciplinary research in Immunology, Inflammation and Infectious Disease affects a wide variety of human diseases and has been fostered at the University of Utah via a campus-wide research initiative. In connection with these efforts, the Immunology, Inflammation and Infectious Disease (3i) Training Program seeks to bring together faculty and trainees across the University of Utah Health campus to foster collaborative research in basic and translational immunology. This application is the recipient of substantial institutional backing and requests support for 5 pre-doctoral trainees. The main component of the 3i Training Program is individualized research training under the guidance of 37 well-funded faculty members in 8 departments across campus, comprising 11 research divisions. Pre-doctoral trainees who have completed their qualifying exam are eligible for up to 2 years of support. Trainees are selected by the Steering Committee from a large and highly competitive pool of candidates based on prior research excellence, a research proposal and letters of recommendation. It is anticipated that as part of their normal graduate education, trainees will complete their coursework, participate in seminars and retreats, present their research in departmental settings, write a thesis proposal, perform thesis research, publish results and defend their thesis research. In addition, the Training Program will enhance graduate education through the following activities: 1) a one-month immunology rotation at ARUP, the national pathology reference laboratory affiliated with the University of Utah; 2) formal training in grant-writing, leading to submission of an extramural grant proposal; 3) support for travel to present data at scientific meetings; 4) monthly publishing workshop with other Training Program trainees and mentors; 5) interaction with invited seminar speakers; 6) annual presentation of research at the M&I retreat or 3i symposium; 7) guidance in the effective utilization of Individual Development Plans (IDPs); and 8) formal mentoring in research ethics, including the design and implementation of rigorous and reproducible research projects. Given the exceptional training track record of our faculty, available resources to support research and robust institutional support, the 3i Training Program will provide an ideal platform to train the next generation of human disease-focused immunologists.
