Training Program in Hematology

描述（由申请人提供）：血液学培训计划的主要目标是培养对成人血液学感兴趣的医学博士、医学博士/博士和博士后，他们将在医学和生物医学研究领域从事职业。血液学培训计划将于2014年完成其第30个资助年头。约翰霍普金斯血液学研究员，T32的主要基础，在良性和恶性血液学服务中轮换，但不在任何实体瘤中轮换。因此，拟议培训计划的目的是为成人血液学领域的研究事业准备具有医学博士学位和/或博士学位的合格个人。该培训项目由资金充足且经验丰富的研究人员组成，他们中的大多数人在造血和干细胞生物学、贫血、血管生物学、骨髓衰竭状态和骨髓增生性疾病方面的研究是国际公认的。优秀的研究环境，最先进的研究设施，优秀的教师导师，以及现有的骨髓移植和干细胞生物学项目资助，加强了培训。尽管全国性的趋势是远离单一的血液学奖学金项目，约翰霍普金斯大学继续吸引优秀的医学博士和医学博士/博士候选人进行单一的血液学培训，并为他们从事生物医学研究做好准备。本培训计划的具体目标是：1)提供与血液学相关的各种领域的研究培训机会，包括良性和恶性造血，骨髓衰竭疾病，骨髓移植，干细胞生物学，免疫学，遗传学，血管生物学和骨髓增生异常综合征2)提供与血液学相关的临床，转化和基础研究的结构化课程和研讨会的机会；并提供在拨款写作、手稿写作、公开演讲和生物统计学方面的指导机会；3)允许对受训者进行小组指导，并仔细监控受训者的进步和培训计划的整体成功；4)解决成人血液学家在学术血液学方面的严重短缺问题

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The primary objective of the Training Program in Hematology, which will complete its 30th year of funding in 2014, is to train MD, MD/PhD, and PhD postdoctoral fellows interested in adult hematology for careers in academic medicine and biomedical research. Johns Hopkins hematology fellows, the major substrate for this T32, rotate on benign and malignant hematology services but do not rotate on any solid tumor rotations. Thus, the purpose of the proposed training program is to prepare qualified individuals with an MD and/or PhD degree for a research career in the field of adult hematology. The training program consists of well-funded and highly experienced investigators, most of who are internationally recognized for their research pertaining to hematopoiesis and stem cell biology, anemias, vascular biology, bone marrow failure states and myeloproliferative diseases. Training is enhanced by an outstanding research environment with state-of-the-art research facilities, outstanding faculty mentors, and existing program project grants on bone marrow transplantation and stem cell biology. Despite a national trend away from single board hematology fellowship programs, Johns Hopkins continues to attract outstanding MD and MD/PhD candidate for single board hematology training and prepares them for careers in biomedical research. Specific aims are of this training program are: 1) to provide research training opportunities in a variety of areas pertaining to hematology including benign and malignant hematopoiesis, bone marrow failure disorders, bone marrow transplantation, stem cell biology, immunology, genetics, vascular biology, and myeloproliferative/myelodysplastic syndromes 2) to provide the opportunity for structured coursework and seminars pertaining to clinical, translational and basic research pertaining to hematology, and to provide opportunities for instruction in grant writing, manuscript writing, public speaking and biostatistics 3) to allo for group mentoring and careful monitoring of the trainees' progress and the overall success of the training program 4) to address the critical shortage of adult hematologists in pursuing careers in academic hematology
