Research Education Core

项目摘要-研究教育核心(REC) 对未来发展化学威胁制剂的医学对策的领导者的培训是 对对抗计划的成功以及对国家应急反应和准备至关重要 努力。研究教育核心(REC)的总体使命是创造一系列多样化的人类 能够进行以团队为基础的跨学科研究的资源，重点是解决复杂的问题 化学威胁剂带来的问题。药理学、毒理学、神经科学和 药物发现将提供给不同一代的研究人员，更具体地说，技术人员、医疗人员 以及加州大学戴维斯分校内外的研究生、博士后研究员和/或早期调查人员 抵消中心。因此，区域经济共同体将与中心的所有核心和项目进行互动。一位少校 重点将是加强多样性，并从任职人数不足和 将社会经济条件较差的背景纳入中心。 加州大学戴维斯分校的教育研究环境非常适合对抗中心。加州大学戴维斯分校是 药理学和毒理学的国家领先者，以及中和学院拥有基础知识的专业知识 药理学、毒理学、药物化学、药物筛选、机械靶标识别、动物模型 疾病研究、先进成像、生物统计学以及临床前试验和参与临床试验。这个 REC将促进将这些知识传授给学员，并促进学员的职业发展 通过向具有专业知识的国内外科学家提供指导和学习的机会 与反制任务有关。 REC有三个主要目标：(1)培养研究毒理学、药理学、 与化学威胁剂相关的药物发现、神经科学和神经性疾病。首先，手- 关于主要在项目和核心实验室进行的跨学科和协作研究培训 将提供领导人。第二，将在与中心任务有关的领域进行专门的教学培训 通过研讨会、研讨会和专业课程完成。(二)加大毕业生招聘力度 来自代表性不足背景的学生和教职员工通过利用 完善的本科生、研究生和教职员工STEM相关招聘和保留计划 校园里。(3)评估区域经济委员会的活动，以评估成效并找出需要改进的地方。 通过实现这些目标，REC将实现其培养多样化的科学家群体的目标 更广泛地理解药物发现和开发中的概念、挑战和机遇 化学威胁剂的医学对策。

Project Summary – Research Education Core (REC) The training of future leaders in the development of medical countermeasures for chemical threat agents is critical to the success of the CounterACT program and to national emergency response and preparedness efforts. The overall mission of the Research Education Core (REC) is to create a diverse array of human resources capable of conducting team-based interdisciplinary research focused on addressing the complex problems posed by chemical threat agents. Advanced training in pharmacology, toxicology, neuroscience, and drug discovery will be provided to a diverse generation of researchers, more specifically, technicians, medical and graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and/or early stage investigators within and outside the UC Davis CounterACT Center. Accordingly, the REC will interact with all Cores and Projects of the Center. A major emphasis will be enhancing the diversity, and recruitment of trainees and mentors from underrepresented and socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds into the Center. The educational research environment at UC Davis is well suited for the CounterACT Center. UC Davis is a national leader in pharmacology and toxicology, and CounterACT faculty have expertise in fundamental pharmacology, toxicology, medicinal chemistry, drug screening, mechanistic target identification, animal models of disease, advanced imaging, biostatistics as well as preclinical testing and participation in clinical trials. The REC will facilitate the transfer of this knowledge to trainees and promote the advancement of trainees’ careers by providing opportunities to be mentored by and learn from both internal and external scientists with expertise relevant to the CounterACT mission. The REC has three main objectives: (1) Develop skill sets necessary for the study of toxicology, pharmacology, drug discovery, neuroscience, and neurological disorders related to chemical threat agents. First, hands- on interdisciplinary and collaborative research training primarily in the laboratories of the Project and Core Leaders will be provided. Second, specialized didactic training in areas relevant to the Center’s mission will be accomplished via workshops, seminars, and specialized coursework. (2) Enhance the recruitment of graduate students and faculty from underrepresented backgrounds into the UC Davis CounterACT Center by leveraging well established undergraduate, graduate, and faculty STEM-related recruiting and retention programs on campus. (3) Evaluate the activities of the REC to assess effectiveness and identify areas for improvement. By fulfilling these objectives, the REC will accomplish its goal of developing a diverse group of scientists with broader understanding of the concepts, challenges, and opportunities in drug discovery and development of medical countermeasures of chemical threat agents.
