Developing Faculty Leaders in the Biomedical Sciences

描述（由申请人提供）：达特茅斯达特茅斯医学院的生物化学项目通过培训下一代医生和科学家，推进跨多个学科的知识，并在其研究领域和服务于学术界发展教师领导人，在生物医学企业中发挥着至关重要的作用。该项目的教职员工是动脉粥样硬化、肿瘤发生、糖尿病、朊病毒病和囊性纤维化基础科学的主要贡献者。我们吸引，激励和培养创造性和高度成功的科学家。在过去的二十年中，我们的11个终身生物化学教师中有七个获得了NIH MERIT奖，两个被选为美国国家科学院院士。我们是北方新英格兰的卓越科学中心。这项建议的具体目的是恢复我们的国家寻找一个优秀的生物化学助理教授，并提供必要的资源，智力环境和指导，使这名教师脱颖而出。我们将与达特茅斯的其他基础科学和转化科学中心合作进行广泛的搜索，以招募最有前途的候选人。正如我们在过去为我们所有的教师所做的那样，我们将指导她/他成为一名有效的科学家，同事，教师和培训师。我们希望我们的新教师招聘与达特茅斯的中心，计划和医生科学家合作，以推进学科边界的发现，我们将鼓励她/他的专业发展，承担在生物医学企业负责任的领导角色。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Biochemistry Program at Dartmouth Medical School performs a critical role in the biomedical enterprise through training the next generation of physicians and scientists, advancing knowledge across multiple disciplines, and developing faculty leaders in their research areas and in service to the academic community. Program faculty members are major contributors to the basic science of atherosclerosis, oncogenesis, diabetes, prion disease, and cystic fibrosis. We attract, inspire, and nurture creative and highly successful scientists. In the last two decades, seven of our 11 tenured Biochemistry faculty have earned NIH MERIT awards and two have been elected to the National Academy of Sciences. We are a center of scientific excellence in Northern New England. The specific aim of this proposal is to resume our national search for an outstanding assistant professor of Biochemistry and to provide the resources, intellectual environment, and mentoring necessary for this faculty member to excel. We will conduct a broad search in collaboration with other centers of basic and translational science at Dartmouth to recruit the most promising candidates. As we have done for all our faculty in the past, we will mentor her/him to become an effective scientist, colleague, teacher, and trainer. We expect our new faculty recruit to collaborate with Dartmouth's centers, programs and physician scientists to advance discovery at the boundaries of disciplines, and we will encourage her/his professional development to assume responsible leadership roles in the biomedical enterprise.
