MEDICAL SCIENTIST NATIONAL RESEARCH SERVICE AWARD

描述(由申请者提供)：美国芝加哥医学科学家培训计划向美国国立卫生研究院提交续签申请，以继续并将其对生物医学领域杰出领导者的培训扩展到下个世纪。我们请求为48个MSTP职位提供经费，比目前建议的职位增加4个(建议职位44个，供资职位36个)。在所要求的支持水平下，NIH的资金将覆盖该项目成本的约25%，其余部分由机构资源提供。我们计划招收12个班的学生，他们将在8年内毕业。芝加哥大学普利兹克医学院的医学科学家培训计划已经存在了37年，提供了不间断的资金，并在领导职位(包括加州大学旧金山分校和哈佛大学的MSTP董事职位)的学术医生培训方面取得了出色的记录。已有193名学生毕业，发表论文1500余篇。目前有68人参加了该方案，其中6%是URM，30%是妇女。在过去的五年中，34名学生从该计划毕业，38名学生进入该计划。我们目前的MSTP学生延续了毕业生的传统，在《自然》、《科学》、《细胞》、《免疫》、《生物化学杂志》等顶级期刊上发表了大量文章。在这份提案中，我们提供了令人信服和详细的证据，证明我们的学生的卓越质量和芝加哥大学严格的培训环境，该环境独特地配置来支持跨学科项目，如MSTP。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The U. Chicago Medical Scientist Training Program submits this renewal application to the National Institutes of Health to continue and expand into the next century its training of outstanding leaders in the biomedical field. We request funding for 48 MSTP positions, an increase of 4 from the currently recommended slots (44 recommended/36 funded). At the requested level of support, NIH funding will cover approximately 25% of the program's costs, the rest being provided by institutional resources. We plan to recruit matriculating classes of 12 students who are expected to graduate in 8 years. The Medical Scientist Training Program at the U. Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine has been in existence for 37 years with uninterrupted funding and a superb training record of academic physicians in leadership positions (including directorships of MSTPs at UCSF and Harvard). It has graduated 193 students who have published over 1500 papers. Currently 68 individuals are enrolled in the program including 6% URM and 30% women. In the last five years, 34 students graduated from the Program and 38 students entered it. Continuing in the tradition of its graduates, our current MSTP students have published extensively in top journals such as Nature, Science, Cell, Immunity, Journal of Biological Chemistry, and others. In this proposal we provide compelling and detailed evidence on the superb quality of our students and the rigorous training environment at Chicago which is uniquely configured to support interdisciplinary programs such as the MSTP.
