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.

这是跨学科肺培训计划T32，杜克大学培训计划的新应用程序 在促进，参与和保留学术研究人员（Prosper）的肺部研究中， 多个PI计划。该计划为潜水员，杰出的博士后医学博士和博士提供了机会 学员在独立调查中获得最先进的知识和研究技能 肺部疾病的发病机理，治疗和结果。繁荣是一个曾经的计划的崭新开始 以杜克大学的肺，过敏和重症监护医学为中心已有36年 建立在基本和临床生物医学研究方法上。繁荣包括精心选择的 来自生物工程生物工程医学和部门部的杰出高级导师，生物工程， 细胞生物学，病理学，人群健康科学，精神病学，手术和环境学校。 我们还包括早期的职业科学家，以作为新兴导师，为学员提供最相关的， 临床和科学上的心态。在过去的15年中，我们近75％的培训继续 以研究为导向的职业，其中许多职业成为独立资助的肺科学家。事先的 尽管取得了成功，但我们确定了改进的关键领域，因此我们提出了这一点 除了典型的MD外 来自杜克大学和其他领先大学的相关研究生院的学员。此外，在繁荣中，我们 致力于增加我们培训的多样性，从而开始努力招募和保留。 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 董事会，完成了经验丰富的杜克导师和领先的肺科学家，并创建正式审查 和反馈结构，其中包括内部顾问，外部顾问，受训者和 NIH计划官员。我们建立了严格的问责结构，以开发研究，学术 职业和奖学金技巧。这些要求包括：建立心理委员会，创建一个 个人发展计划，进行严格的研究项目，编写和提交几个手稿， 在专业聚会上展示，并通过结束 训练。每个学员还将参加一个结构化的教学培训计划，包括正式课程， 部门的半手，杰出的邀请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。我们的目标是准备下一代肺部 科学家通过为每个学员提供个性化的支持系统，其中包括周到 识别，研究经验，教学学习，职业发展技能，科学和网络，因此 他们可以成功建立研究职业并获得高度竞争的独立资金 环境。
