This is a new application for an Interdisciplinary Pulmonary Training Program T32, the Duke Program of Training in Pulmonary ReSearch to Promote, Engage and Retain Academic Researchers (PROSPER), submitted under a multiple PI plan. This program provides the opportunity for diverse, exceptional postdoctoral MD and PhD trainees to acquire state-of-the-art knowledge and research skills in independent investigation into the pathogenesis, treatments and outcomes of lung diseases. PROSPER is a fresh start for a program that has been centered in the Division of Pulmonary, Allergy and Critical Care Medicine at Duke University for 36 years and founded on basic and clinical biomedical research approaches. PROSPER includes carefully selected, exceptional senior mentors from the Department of Medicine and Departments of Biostatistics, Bioengineering, Cell Biology, Pathology, Population Health Sciences, Psychiatry, Surgery, and the School of the Environment. We also include early career scientists to serve as emerging mentors to provide our trainees with most relevant, clinically- and scientifically-sound mentorship. Over the last 15 years, nearly 75% of our trainees continued in research-oriented careers, and many of them became independently funded pulmonary scientists. Prior successes notwithstanding, we identified critical areas for improvement, as a result of which we propose this new program with expanded recruitment efforts to attract talented PhD trainees, in addition to typical MD trainees, from relevant graduate schools at Duke and other leading universities. In addition, in PROSPER, we commit to increasing diversity of our trainees, thus began making concerted efforts in recruitment and retention of trainees from underrepresented minority backgrounds. We establish formal Internal and External Advisory Boards, comprised of experienced Duke mentors and leading pulmonary scientists, and create a formal review and feedback structure, which includes perspectives of internal advisors, external advisors, trainees, and the NIH program officers. We establish rigorous accountability structures for the development of research, academic career, and scholarship skills. These requirements include: to establish a mentoring committee, to create an individual development plan, to conduct rigorous research project(s), to write and submit several manuscripts, to present at professional gatherings, and to draft an individual career development grant by the conclusion of training. Each trainee will also participate in a structured didactic training program, including formal coursework, divisional seminars, lectures from distinguished invited speakers, and career development workshops designed to expand and deepen trainees’ scientific background. Our goal is to prepare the next generation of pulmonary scientists by providing each trainee with an individualized system of supports, which include thoughtful mentorship, research experience, didactic learning, career development skills, scholarship, and networking, so they can successfully establish research careers and obtain independent funding in a highly competitive environment.

这是跨学科肺训练计划 T32（杜克训练计划）的新应用程序 肺部研究促进、吸引和留住学术研究人员 (PROSPER)，提交于 多重 PI 计划为多元化、杰出的博士后 MD 和 Ph.D 提供机会。 学员在独立调查中获得最先进的知识和研究技能 PROSPER 是肺部疾病的发病机制、治疗方法和结果的一个新的开始。 在杜克大学肺科、过敏科和重症监护医学科工作了 36 年 PROSPER 建立在基础和临床生物医学研究方法的基础上，包括精心挑选的、 来自医学系和生物统计学、生物工程系的杰出高级导师， 细胞生物学、病理学、人口健康科学、精神病学、外科和环境学院。 我们还邀请早期职业科学家作为新兴导师，为我们的学员提供最相关的、 在过去 15 年中，近 75% 的学员继续接受临床和科学合理的指导。 以研究为导向的职业，其中许多人成为独立资助的肺科学家。 尽管取得了成功，我们还是确定了需要改进的关键领域，因此我们提出以下建议 除了典型的医学博士外，新计划还扩大了招聘力度，以吸引有才华的博士生 来自杜克大学和其他顶尖大学相关研究生院的实习生 此外，在 PROSPER，我们还提供了培训机会。 致力于增加学员的多样性，从而开始在招聘和保留方面做出共同努力 来自代表性不足的少数族裔背景的学员。我们建立正式的内部和外部咨询。 由经验丰富的杜克大学导师和领先的肺科科学家组成的委员会负责制定正式审查 和反馈结构，包括内部顾问、外部顾问、受训者和 NIH 项目官员我们为研究、学术的发展建立了严格的问责结构。 这些要求包括：建立一个指导委员会，创建一个 个人发展计划，进行严格的研究项目，撰写并提交几篇手稿， 出席专业聚会，并在会议结束时起草个人职业发展补助金 每位学员还将参加结构化的教学培训计划，包括正式课程、 部门研讨会、特邀演讲者的讲座以及设计的职业发展研讨会 扩大和加深学员的科学背景，我们的目标是为下一代肺病做好准备。 科学家为每位学员提供个性化的支持系统，其中包括体贴 指导、研究经验、教学学习、职业发展技能、奖学金和网络等 他们可以成功地建立研究事业并在竞争激烈的环境中获得独立的资助 环境。
