DESCRIPTION OF TRAINING PROGRAM: Forsyth Institute proposes to offer a Postdoctoral Training Program in Oral and Craniofacial Research to health professionals and PhDs who are interested in further training in basic, clinical or patient-oriented oral health research. It also proposes to offer retraining in these areas to mid-career scientists. Specific training opportunities are available in Biofilms, Biomineralization and Biomimetics; Molecular Immunology and lnfectious Disease; Genomics and Oral Cancer; and Clinical Investigations. Linkage of projects between focus areas, especially between clinical investigations and other focus areas, will be encouraged. Mentors have outstanding records of published research consistent with the NIDCR mission, are well supported by NIH, and have appreciable experience in postdoctoral education. Collaborative, multidisciplinary and inter-professional interactions in academia and the biotechnology industry are characteristic of mentors' research. These multidisciplinary/collaborative research efforts of mentors serve as a base upon which the trainee can initiate similar collaborative research interactions. Mentored research is the cornerstone of the postdoctoral training experience. Enhancements to that experience will include a course in clinical research design, oral health targeted courses in immunology and infectious disease, and a course in ethical practices in scientific investigation. The program will also feature tutorials in research use of the Web, Bioinformatics, Genomics, and Grantsmanship, participation in the Forsyth/Harvard Seminar Series, Oral Biology colloquia, and departmental journal clubs, seminar/tutorials in career opportunities, and a postdoctoral research group (PRG). The PRG will be responsible for organizing an institutionally funded series of Postdoctoral Research Days in which international experts will be invited to speak formally and informally to the PRG. Leadership awareness and training will be facilitated by postdoctoral trainee mentoring of Boston high school, and dental and/or Forsyth dental hygiene students in summer research projects. A variety of strategies will be used to recruit trainees, including candidates from under-represented racial/ethnic groups who will be specifically encouraged. The goal is to provide training experiences that will prepare trainees to be principal investigators who can 1) successfully compete for research funds; 2) effectively communicate their ideas; 3) recognize the value of collaborative research interactions; 4) lead and inspire others to accomplish mutual research objectives; 5) translate their findings to practice; 6) become skilled in bioinformatic approaches; 7) make ethically correct decisions; and 8) be sensitive and harmonious in relationships with their peers.

培训计划描述：福赛斯研究所提议为有兴趣在基础、临床或以患者为导向的口腔健康研究进一步培训的卫生专业人员和博士提供口腔和颅面研究博士后培训计划。它还建议为职业生涯中期的科学家提供这些领域的再培训。在生物膜、生物矿化和仿生学方面提供具体的培训机会；分子免疫学和传染病；基因组学和口腔癌；和临床研究。将鼓励重点领域之间的项目联系，特别是临床研究和其他重点领域之间的项目联系。导师们拥有符合 NIDCR 使命的杰出研究成果，得到 NIH 的大力支持，并在博士后教育方面拥有丰富的经验。学术界和生物技术行业的协作、多学科和跨专业互动是导师研究的特点。导师的这些多学科/协作研究工作是受训者可以发起类似协作研究互动的基础。指导研究是博士后培训经验的基石。对这种体验的增强将包括临床研究设计课程、免疫学和传染病口腔健康针对性课程以及科学研究道德实践课程。该项目还将提供有关网络、生物信息学、基因组学和资助研究使用的教程，参加福赛斯/哈佛研讨会系列、口腔生物学座谈会和院系期刊俱乐部、职业机会研讨会/教程以及博士后研究小组（PRG）。 PRG 将负责组织一系列由机构资助的博士后研究日活动，其中将邀请国际专家在 PRG 上进行正式和非正式的演讲。波士顿高中的博士后实习生指导以及夏季研究项目中的牙科和/或福赛斯牙科卫生学生将促进领导意识和培训。将采用各种策略来招募学员，包括将特别鼓励来自代表性不足的种族/族裔群体的候选人。目标是提供培训经验，使受训者成为主要研究者，他们能够 1) 成功竞争研究基金； 2）有效地传达他们的想法； 3）认识到协作研究互动的价值； 4）领导和激励他人完成共同的研究目标； 5）将他们的发现转化为实践； 6）熟练掌握生物信息学方法； 7）做出符合道德的决定； 8) 与同事的关系敏感、和谐。
