Research Training in Microbial Diseases

描述(由申请人提供)：微生物疾病研究培训计划的目标是培养优秀的独立生物医学调查人员，具备解决传染病研究中的关键问题和悬而未决的问题的专业知识。我们项目的一个主要优势是它的多学科性质，结合了医学院和彭博公共卫生学院多个系的教师和资源，他们对传染病研究有共同的兴趣，并在过去5年中进行了广泛的合作。博士后研究员在国内或国际培训地点接受临床、转化性或基础科学调查方面的单一领域的强化培训，并接触其他各种学科的传染病研究。41名培训教师，其中14名主要从事基础科学调查，27名临床研究人员，根据他们的研究计划的实力、校外研究支持的水平、以前培训生物医学科学家的经验以及他们为互动研究培训做出贡献的潜力而被选中。受训者的研究培训还包括课程作业、参加选定的会议、赠款准备和生物医学伦理培训以及研究陈述技能，包括研究研讨会和在科学会议上的陈述。目前的供资期间支持培训15名研究员，其中6人仍在接受培训。六名项目毕业生拥有传染病方面的全职学术职位，两名毕业生在工业领域指导临床调查。一名实习生是临床医生兼教育者。总体而言，这些受训人员获得了5‘K’指导型新调查员奖。到目前为止，在这一赠款期间得到支助的15名研究员中，有14人提交或出版了总共94份手稿或章节，其中包括66份同行评议出版物，其依据是根据这一T32奖获得的研究培训。自1996年以来，约翰霍普金斯大学医学院传染病研究培训计划的37名毕业生中有34人(92%)有学术任命；其中29人是大学(N=24)、政府(N=2)或行业(N=3)职位的活跃传染病调查人员。五名毕业生从事学术临床实践。自1996年以来，大约75%的传染病研究培训计划的毕业生获得了独立的研究基金；大多数(80%)来自NIH或其他联邦来源。鉴于这些数据和成功，我们请求支持8个博士后培训职位。这些赠款基金为我们的传染病研究培训计划提供了核心的基本支持，该计划每年至少有10名医学博士或医学博士研究员参加。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the Research Training Program in Microbial Diseases is to produce outstanding independent biomedical investigators equipped with the expertise to address critical questions and unresolved issues in infectious diseases research. A major strength of our program is its multidisciplinary nature, combining faculty and resources from multiple departments of the School of Medicine and Bloomberg School of Public Health who share an interest in infectious diseases research and have collaborated extensively over the past 5 years. Post-doctoral fellows are trained intensively in a single area in clinical, translational or basic science investigation at a domestic or international training site with exposure to infectious diseases research in a variety of other disciplines. Forty-one training faculty, 14 primarily in basic science investigation and 27 clinical investigators, have been selected for the strength of their research programs, level of extramural research support, prior experience in training biomedical scientists and their potential for contributing to interactive research training. The trainee's research training is supplemented with coursework, participation in select conferences, training in grant preparation and biomedical ethics as well as research presentation skills including research seminars, and presentations at scientific meetings. The current funding period supported the training of 15 fellows, 6 of whom remain in training. Six program graduates have full-time academic positions in infectious diseases and two are directing clinical investigation in industry. One trainee is a clinician-educator. Overall, these trainees secured 5 'K' mentored new investigator awards. Fourteen of the 15 fellows supported to date in this grant period have submitted or published a total of 94 manuscripts or chapters including 66 peer-reviewed publications based on the research training obtained under this T32 award. Since 1996, 34 of the 37 graduates (92%) of the Infectious Diseases research training program of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine have academic appointments; 29 of these 34 are active infectious diseases investigators in University (N=24), government (N=2) or industry (N=3) positions. Five graduates are engaged in academic clinical practice. Approximately 75% of the graduates of the Infectious Diseases research training program since 1996 have been awarded independent research funds; the majority (>80%) from the NIH or other federal sources. Given these data and successes, we request support for 8 post-doctoral training positions. These grant funds provide a core of essential support for our Infectious Diseases research training program involving at least 10 MD or MD-PhD fellows annually.
