DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Training Future Imaging Scientists for Biomedicine This program is designed to produce imaging scientists that are trained both the technology and medical application of medical imaging. Medical imaging can serve as a hub for the development of many medical innovations but for this to occur, the medical imaging scientists must understand not only the technology of medical imaging but also the underlying medicine, biology and chemistry. The training of such personnel should provide the expertise to develop new imaging methods and even modalities that are based on our increasing understanding of the cellular and molecular biology. The program will include 1) Predoctoral Fellowships - These students would be selected from those accepted to degree granting programs at the University of Michigan that have specific interests in medical imaging. Such students would be assigned a co-mentor in addition to their dissertation advisor to develop their expertise in the fundamental medical issues associated with their research topic. This is a three-year program including specific compulsory and individualized didactic components. 2) Postdoctoral Fellowships a) MD Fellowships - These fellowships would be awarded to individuals holding an MD and participating in residency programs with specific training in medical imaging. These trainees would co-mentored by both a physician and basic scientist who will provide the additional technological component to their research experience. This fellowship will occur over a two-year period with a minimum of 21 months of training time and specific compulsory and individualized didactic components. b) PhD Fellowships - These fellowships would be awarded to individuals holding a PhD and desiring specific training in medical imaging or a related area. This training could be for those individuals with significant background in imaging where the additional training would be in a specific imaging area or an area of basic science that underpins imaging research. Alternatively, the fellowship could be awarded to individuals with degree(s) in a basic science that could contribute to the imaging field with the educational opportunity in medical imaging afforded by this fellowship. This is a two-year program including specific compulsory and individualized didactic components. The combination of faculty and trainees with backgrounds in medicine and basic science provides opportunities for synergy and improves the training of MDs and PhDs necessary for imaging scientists of the future. Also, training of MDs and PhDs together provides opportunities for peer teaching and collaboration that will foster a closer working relationships among imaging scientists who are similarly trained.

描述（由申请人提供）：培训未来的成像科学家为生物医学培训该计划旨在生产受培训的医学成像技术和医学应用的成像科学家。医学成像可以作为开发许多医学创新的枢纽，但要进行这种情况，医学成像科学家不仅必须了解医学成像的技术，还必须了解基础医学，生物学和化学。此类人员的培训应提供专业知识，以开发新的成像方法，甚至基于我们对细胞和分子生物学的不断理解。该计划将包括1）授课前奖学金 - 这些学生将从被接受的人选中，以在密歇根大学具有特定利益的医学成像授予计划。除了论文顾问外，还将为这些学生分配一个副主管，以发展与研究主题相关的基本医学问题的专业知识。这是一个为期三年的计划，包括特定的强制性和个性化的教学成分。 2）博士后奖学金a）MD奖学金 - 这些奖学金将授予拥有MD的个人并参加具有特定医学成像培训的居住计划。这些学员将由医生和基础科学家共同授予，他们将为他们的研究经验提供额外的技术组成部分。这项奖学金将在两年期间进行，至少21个月的培训时间以及特定的强制性和个性化的教学成分。 b）博士学位奖学金 - 这些奖学金将授予拥有博士学位的个人，并希望在医学成像或相关领域进行特定的培训。这种培训可能是针对那些具有重要成像背景的人的培训，在这些个人中，额外的培训将在特定的成像领域或基础科学领域的基础研究中。另外，可以将奖学金授予基础科学学位的个人，该学位可以通过该研究金提供的医学成像中的教育机会为成像领域做出贡献。这是一个为期两年的计划，包括特定的强制性和个性化的教学成分。教师和学员与医学和基础科学背景的结合为协同作用提供了机会，并改善了对未来科学家成像所需的MDS和PHD的培训。此外，对MD和PHD的培训也为同行教学和协作提供了机会，这些机会将在受过类似培训的科学家中建立更紧密的工作关系。
