TRAINING PROGRAM IN LUNG BIOLOGY AND DISEASE

项目摘要 这是一份更新申请，用于资助德克萨斯大学西南分校与肺相关的研究培训 医学中心，在博士后（MD，PhD）水平。该提案是由以下方面的合作努力产生的： 儿科和成人部门参与肺研究在这个研究所，因此是跨部门的， 核心33位经验丰富的研究者和研究导师代表13个不同的临床和基础 科学系和中心形成了一支坚实的，多样化的培训队伍。我们重新组织了这个融资周期 我们的导师从一个一维的轨道系统分组到一个三维的矩阵， 专注，翻译水平和科学能力。学员可与他们的初级和中级导师接触 通过进入矩阵中的适当点，并鼓励沿着沿着不同的轴发展。这 结构鼓励跨学科和跨部门的培训，并建立一个框架， 专业和科学发展。受训人员将获得一个全面的实地和具体项目培训， 教学课程临床和基础科学的学员将由个性化的咨询指导 委员会有基础和临床科学导师，以拓宽学员的视野，并促进 从板凳到床边思考重点将放在保持项目的重点，创造性的实验 设计、最先进的技术和早期职业指导。该计划的优势在于高度 协作的制度环境，独特的跨部门领导和培训教师的 计划，以及经验丰富和敬业的教师担任培训师。

Project Summary This is a renewal application to fund lung-related research training at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, at the postdoctoral (MD, PhD) level. The proposal is born out of a collaborative effort between the Pediatric and Adult divisions involved in lung research at this Institute, and is thus interdepartmental at its core. Thirty-three experienced investigators and research mentors representing 13 different clinical and basic science departments and centers form a solid, diverse training force. This funding cycle we have reorganized our mentor groupings from a unidimensional track system into a tridimensional matrix that varies along disease focus, translational level, and scientific competency. Trainees may access their primary and secondary mentors through entry into an appropriate point in the matrix and be encouraged to develop along different axes. This structure encourages cross-disciplinary and trans-departmental training, and creates a framework for professional and scientific development. Trainees will receive a comprehensive field- and project-specific didactic curriculum. Both clinical and basic science trainees will be guided by an individualized advisory committee that has both basic and clinical science mentors, to broaden the trainee’s perspective and facilitate bench to bedside thinking. Emphasis will be placed on maintenance of project focus, creative experimental design, state of the art technology, and early career guidance. The strength of this program lies in the highly collaborative Institutional environment, the unique interdepartmental leadership and training faculty of the program, and the experienced and dedicated faculty serving as trainers.
