NIA Short Term Research Training: Students in Health Professional Schools

描述（由申请人提供）：耶鲁大学医学院在培养医学学生从事学术医学和研究方面有着悠久的传统和成就。本申请是重新提交的申请，要求NIA支持医科学生（NIA短期培训：卫生专业学校的学生）主要与NIA资助的研究人员一起进行研究。拨款申请的目的是为选定的医学博士预科学生提供短期的强化研究培训，在耶鲁大学医学院最优秀的实验室和培训地点进行与老龄化相关的培训。初始申请的影响评分为22分（2014年5月）。我们对这三个批评的回应将在单独的一节中给出。具体的研究经验将包括与衰老和衰老障碍相关的社会、行为、生物和数学科学。该项目旨在吸引最优秀的耶鲁医学院学生从事生物医学科学领域的医学科学家工作。一项对耶鲁大学医学院学生的广泛跟踪调查表明，在先前支持的学生中，后续的研究培训水平、研究效率和教职员工任命（40.2%）都很高。实习生将根据完成一年耶鲁医学院课程的博士预科学生的申请进行选择。根据计划研究的正式书面申请的质量以及导师和培训环境的质量，每年将有十（10）名学生参加这项短期培训支持。参与的科室将包括：细胞生物学、细胞与分子生理学、神经病学、泌尿学、内科(包括内分泌学、肾病学、消化疾病学、肝病学、血液学、急诊医学、流行病学与公共卫生、遗传学、免疫生物学、检验医学、分子生物物理与生物化学、分子、细胞与发育生物学、药理学、精神病学、泌尿学及相关跨学科中心。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Yale School of Medicine has a long tradition and record of accomplishments in the training of medical students for careers in academic medicine and research. This application is a resubmission requesting NIA support for medical students (NIA Short-Term Training: Students in Health Professional Schools) to carry out research primarily with NIA-funded investigators. The purpose of the grant application is to provide intensive short-term training in research for selected pre-doctoral medical students in the most outstanding laboratories and training sites in the Yale School of Medicine related to aging. The initial application received an impact score of 22 (May 2014). Our response to the three critiques are given in a separate section. The specific research experiences will include social, behavioral, biological, and mathematical sciences related to aging and aging disorders. The program is designed to attract the most highly qualified Yale medical students into careers as physician-scientists in the biomedical sciences. An extensive follow-up done of Yale medical students indicates a high level of subsequent research training, research productivity, and faculty appointments (40.2%) among previously supported students. Trainees will be chosen upon application of pre-doctoral medical students who have completed in good standing one year of the curriculum of the Yale School of Medicine. Ten (10) students per year will be selected competitively for this short-term training support on the basis of the quality of a formal written application of the planned research and the quality of the mentor and the training environment. The participating departments and sections will include: cell biology, cellular and molecular physiology, neurology, urology, internal medicine, including endocrinology, nephrology, digestive diseases, hepatology, hematology, emergency medicine, epidemiology and public health, genetics, immunobiology, laboratory medicine, molecular biophysics and biochemistry, molecular, cellular & developmental biology, pharmacology, psychiatry, urology and related interdisciplinary centers.
