DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective of this application is to establish an interdisciplinary pre- and postdoctoral training program in immunology and nutrition. The interdependency between the disciplines of nutrition and immunology have long been appreciated. However, the complex interaction between the nervous, endocrine, and immune systems and how they are modulated by environmental factors (nutrients, host-microbial interactions) and a variety of stressors (disease or exercise) have only recently begun to be elucidated. Importantly, it is now known that the inflammatory mechanisms are central to the pathophysiology of many chronic diseases for which diet is used in either the prevention or treatment. To design effective treatments for these debilitating diseases, it is essential that mechanisms underlying the complex interactions between nutritional status and inflammation be elucidated.Research training will be focused on the regulation of inflammation and cytokine production by environmental factors, and their subsequent effects on food intake, metabolism, and organ function. The training program will be administered by the interdisciplinary Nutritional Sciences Graduate Program. The Division of Nutritional Sciences is consistently ranked among the top nutrition graduate programs in the U.S and has 33-yr history of training research leaders in academia and industry. The Division has 53 faculty members with primary appointments in seven colleges on the Urbana-Champaign and Chicago campuses of the University of Illinois. Seven faculty members representing four departments with active research programs focused on nutrition and inflammation will provide the core for the training program. Two postdoctoral fellowships are requested for 5 years. Three predoctoral fellowships are requested for years 1-2 and four fellowships for years 3-5. Candidates with exceptional academic credentials and research training will be recruited. Underrepresented minorities and M.D./Ph.D. candidates will be specifically targeted. Research training will be complemented by coursework in nutrition, immunology, endocrinology, neuroscience, biochemistry, and molecular biology; weekly seminar series; and attendance and presentation at national and international conferences. The strong research programs of the preceptors, the outstanding reputation of the Nutritional Sciences Program and exceptional intellectual environment at the University of Illinois combine to form an ideal climate in which to train future research leaders in this unique interdisciplinary field.

描述（由申请人提供）： 本申请的目的是建立跨学科的前和 免疫学和营养的博士后培训计划。相互依存 在营养学科和免疫学学科之间，人们长期以来一直受到赞赏。 但是，神经，内分泌和免疫之间的复杂相互作用 系统及其如何通过环境因素（营养素， 宿主 - 微生物相互作用）和多种压力源（疾病或运动） 直到最近才开始阐明。重要的是，现在知道 炎症机制是许多慢性的病理生理学的核心 用于预防或治疗中的饮食的疾病。到 为这些使人衰弱的疾病设计有效的治疗方法，这是必不可少的 营养状况之间复杂相互作用的基础机制 并阐明炎症。研究培训将集中在 通过环境因素调节炎症和细胞因子的产生， 它们随后对食物摄入，代谢和器官功能的影响。 培训计划将由跨学科营养管理 科学研究生课程。营养科学的划分始终是 在美国顶级营养研究生课程中排名33年 学术界和工业培训研究领袖的历史。该部门有 53名教职员工任命为七所大学 伊利诺伊大学的Urbana-Champaign和芝加哥校园。七 代表四个部门通过主动研究计划的教师 专注于营养和炎症将为培训提供核心 程序。 5年要求提供两项博士后奖学金。三 1 - 2年的授权奖学金和四项奖学金要求 3 - 5年。具有出色学历和研究的候选人 培训将被招募。代表性不足的少数民族和医学博士/ph.D。 候选人将被专门针对。研究培训将是 补充营养，免疫学，内分泌学的课程， 神经科学，生物化学和分子生物学；每周研讨会系列；和 在国家和国际会议上出席和演讲。这 强大的研究计划，主持人的杰出声誉 营养科学计划和卓越的智力环境 伊利诺伊大学结合起来形成理想的气候 在这个独特的跨学科领域，未来的研究领袖。
