Training Program in Oxidative Stress and Nutrition

描述（由申请人提供）： 贫穷的饮食习惯在美国10大死亡原因中的5个中起着病因学作用。尽管长期存在令人信服的论点，但医学院的营养教育仍然不足。这是在“氧化应激和营养”领域的培训计划的竞争更新。在上一个资助期内，学生的资格、荣誉和奖项以及生产力都证明了这一点。营养科学的四个重点领域构成了竞争性更新培训计划的基础：（1）营养和心血管疾病，（2）营养和癌症，（3）营养和神经科学/衰老，以及（4）营养和代谢疾病。该培训计划是基于多学科博士。营养科学计划，提供教学和研究。在上一个供资期间，通过为研究和研究生培训分配专用空间，营养科学培训学院的研究设施得到了显著改善。分享营养共同利益的教师在营养科学博士联合任命。计划与多个单位的主要任命，包括：老龄化，解剖学/神经生物学，农业，生物化学，心脏病学，化学，胃肠病学，微生物学/免疫学，神经外科，儿科，药理学，生理学，药学科学和放射医学。有31个生产力，资助的培训教师谁是在这个培训计划高度互动。博士前的培训计划包括营养课程13个学分，生物医学课程15个学分，统计学4个学分，研究伦理学1个学分。学生在第一年参加由研究生课程主任指导的实验室轮换，随后由一位主要教授和一个4人顾问委员会提供建议。四个博士生预科将被选中（通过资格考试后）在营养的重要性的4个广泛领域

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Poort dietary habits play an etiological role in 5 of the 10 leading causes of death in the United States. In spite of long-standing compelling arguments, nutrition education in medical schools remains inadequate. This is a competing renewal of a training program in the area of "Oxidative Stress and Nutrition". Progress has been excellent during the previous funding period as evidenced by student qualifications, honors and awards, and productivity. Four areas of emphasis in nutritional sciences form the basis of the training program in the competing renewal: (1) Nutrition and Cardiovascular Disease, (2) Nutrition and Cancer, (3) Nutrition and Neuroscience/Aging, and (4) Nutrition and Metabolic Disease. The training program is based in the Multidisciplinary Ph.D. Program in Nutritional Sciences, which provides teaching and research. The research facilities of training faculty in Nutritional Sciences has been markedly improved during the previous funding period through allocation of dedicated space for research and graduate training. Faculty members sharing a common interest in nutrition have joint appointments in the Nutritional Sciences Ph.D. Program with primary appointments in multiple units, including: Aging, Anatomy/Neurobiology, Agriculture, Biochemistry, Cardiology, Chemistry, Gastroenterology, Microbiology/Immunology, Neurosurgery, Pediatrics, Pharmacology, Physiology, Pharmaceutical Sciences, and Radiation Medicine. There are 31 productive, funded training faculty who are highly interactive in this training program. The training program for pre-doctoral includes 13 credit hours in nutrition-based courses, 15 credit hours in biomedically based courses, 4 credit hours in statistics, and 1 credit hour in ethics in research. Students participate in laboratory rotations guided by the Director of Graduate Studies during the first year, and subsequently are advised by a major professor and a 4 member advisory committee. Four Pre-doctoral students will be selected (after passing the qualifying examination) in the 4 broad areas of nutritional importance
