DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is a competitive renewal of the University of Pennsylvania Training Grant for Infectious Disease Fellows that was first funded in 2001. We are requesting funds to train two postdoctoral fellows a year in virology, bacteriology, parasitology or immunology, which is the same number of fellows supported in the current grant. The 19 mentors on this grant come from 6 departments at Penn, including the Departments of Medicine, Neurology and Microbiology in the School of Medicine, the Department of Microbiology in the School of Dental Medicine, the Department of Pathobiology in the School of Veterinary Medicine, and the Wistar Institute. The applicant pool comes mainly from the Adult Infectious Disease fellowship program at Penn and the Pediatric Infectious Disease fellowship program at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Seven candidates were enrolled on this grant in the first funding cycle, including 3 MD/PhD fellows and one minority applicant. Four fellows are still in training, while three have graduated the program. One of the three graduates successfully competed for a K08 award while on this training grant. Candidates from the ID fellowship programs who enroll on this training grant do so after completing their first year of ID fellowship, which is entirely clinical. During that year applicants meet with members of the training grant executive committee, which is the governing body that decides who will be offered a slot on this grant. Once a candidate is selected, he or she meets with the PI (Dr. Friedman) and various trainers to select a lab for their research. For July 2006 the Adult ID program has recruited an MD/PhD applicant who has been selected as the next candidate for a position on this grant. For July 2007, the Pediatric ID program has recruited another outstanding applicant who has not yet interviewed with the executive committee, but is a strong candidate for inclusion on this grant. Many predoctoral and postdoctoral students are training in the laboratories of the mentors on this grant, which creates an outstanding environment for our trainees. This grant is unique on Penn's campus since it is the only one specifically targeted to train MD or MD/PhD ID fellows. We are committed to providing outstanding training to postdoctoral fellows, including minorities, and we are determined to help develop the next generation of leaders in infectious disease biomedical research.

描述（由申请人提供）：此申请是宾夕法尼亚大学传染病研究员培训补助金的竞争性更新，该培训拨款于2001年首次资助。我们要求资金每年培训两名在病毒学，细菌学，寄生虫学或免疫学上获得的博士后研究员，这是当前赠款中相同数量支持的。这项赠款的19位导师来自宾夕法尼亚州的6个部门，包括医学院医学，神经病学和微生物学系，牙科医学学院的微生物学系，兽医学院病理学系和Wistar Institute。申请人池主要来自宾夕法尼亚州的成人传染病研究金计划，以及费城儿童医院的小儿传染病研究金计划。在第一个资金周期中，有7名候选人被招募，其中包括3名MD/PhD研究员和一名少数民族申请人。四名研究员仍在训练中，而三名研究员已经毕业了该计划。这三名毕业生之一在这项培训补助金上成功竞争了K08奖。参加ID奖学金计划的候选人在完成ID ID奖学金的第一年后，参加了这项培训赠款，这完全是临床的。在那一年，申请人会见培训赠款执行委员会的成员，这是一个理事机构，决定谁将在这笔赠款上提供一个位置。一旦选择了候选人，他或她就会与PI（Friedman博士）和各种培训师会面，以选择一个实验室进行研究。 2006年7月，成人身份证计划招募了一名医学博士/博士申请人，该计划被选为该赠款职位的下一个候选人。在2007年7月，小儿ID计划招募了另一位尚未接受执行委员会采访的杰出申请人，但是该赠款中的有力候选人。许多专业和博士后学生都在这笔赠款的指导者实验室中进行培训，这为我们的受训者创造了一个杰出的环境。这笔赠款在宾夕法尼亚州的校园中是独一无二的，因为它是唯一针对MD或MD/PHD ID研究员的针对性的赠款。我们致力于为包括少数民族在内的博士后研究员提供出色的培训，我们决心帮助发展传染病生物医学研究的下一代领导者。
