Training in Orthopaedic Research

描述(申请人提供)：罗切斯特大学的骨科研究培训计划包括16个肌肉骨骼研究中心的培训学院和9个附属课程的培训学院。这一新的五年计划的总体目标是发展计划，以促进骨科研究领域杰出研究人员的发展。该计划包括为博士后(4名)和博士后(2名)受训者提供培训机会，并围绕这些受训者制定了一个教育计划，以促进对骨科调查的全面了解。通过肌肉骨骼研究中心的广泛研究和教育计划，学员将在重点研究领域获得最先进的培训经验，但也将在从最基本的分子研究到人类临床试验等领域获得接触和教育。该中心和相关培训学院代表着一群杰出的、高度整合的导师，他们提供1)骨细胞生物学、2)软骨生物学和骨关节炎、3)炎症性骨骼疾病、4)骨骼修复、5)骨癌、6)颅面生物学和7)肌肉骨骼临床试验和流行病学的研究培训机会。罗切斯特大学的博士前实习生被GEBS项目录取，而5年前才成立的肌肉骨骼研究中心已经成为一个非常受欢迎的目的地，目前有15名博士生与中心教师一起进行论文研究。此外，该中心还有14名博士后实习生。学员人数的增加迫使我们制定了这一综合培训计划，以补充和加强研究环境。教育计划包括1)中心范围的实验室会议(6个实习生报告/年)，2)为期2年的综合“骨科科学基础”系列讲座，3)期刊俱乐部，4)赠款写作核心计划，5)和访问研究学者研讨会系列。因此，该计划坚定地致力于在从分子到流行病学研究的骨科研究方面对学员进行教育。因此，该项目处于独特的地位，可以吸引优秀的年轻研究人员，并通过培养一支成熟和互动的研究人员队伍，将基本发现转化为人类疗法来完成NIH路线图的使命。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Training Program in Orthopaedic Research at the University of Rochester involves 16 Training Faculty with the Center for Musculoskeletal Research and 9 Training Faculty from affiliated programs. The overall goal of this new five-year program is to develop programs that will facilitate the development of outstanding investigators in Orthopaedic Research. The program contains training slots for both pre-doctoral (4) and post-doctoral (2) trainees and around these trainees is developed an educational program that facilitates a comprehensive understanding of orthopaedic investigation. Through the breadth of research and educational programs in the Center for Musculoskeletal Research, trainees will receive a state of the art training experience in a focused area of research, but will also have exposure and education in areas ranging from the most basic molecular studies to human clinical trials. The Center and Associated Training Faculty represent an outstanding and highly integrated group of mentors that provide research training opportunities in 1) Bone Cell Biology, 2) Cartilage Biology and Osteoarthritis, 3) Inflammatory Bone Diseases, 4) Skeletal Repair, 5) Bone Cancer, 6) Craniofacial Biology, and 7) Musculoskeletal Clinical Trials and Epidemiology. Pre-doctoral trainees at the University of Rochester are accepted into the GEBS program and the Center for Musculoskeletal Research, which was developed only 5 years ago, has become an extremely popular destination, and currently has 15 Ph.D. candidates currently conducting thesis research with Center faculty. In addition, there are 14 post-doctoral trainees in the Center. The increased number of trainees has compelled us to develop this comprehensive training program to supplement and enhance the research environment. The education programs include 1) Center-wide lab meetings (6 trainee presentations/year), 2) a comprehensive "Foundations of Orthopaedic Science" Lecture Series that has a 2- year cycle, 3) a Journal Club, 4) a Grant Writing Core Program, 5) and a Visiting Research Scholar Seminar Series. Thus, the program is firmly committed to educate trainees in aspects of orthopaedic research that range from molecular to epidemiological studies. As such, the program is uniquely positioned to attract outstanding young investigators and fulfill the mission of the NIH roadmap by producing a cadre of sophisticated and interactive investigators that will translate basic discoveries into human therapies.
