DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this training program is to provide a solid foundation upon which to build a productive and independent career in Biomechanics in Regenerative Medicine (BiRM). This goal is accomplished via a highly coordinated and mentored interdisciplinary training program with a combination of required and elective courses, research activities, and specialized training opportunities. The proposed Training Program incorporates faculty from the Departments of Bioengineering, Mechanical Engineering, Orthopedic Surgery, Vascular Surgery, Urology, and the McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine of the University of Pittsburgh, as well as faculty from the Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering Departments from Carnegie Mellon University. This combination of training faculty research interests and coursework will provide a rich educational experience and more numerous training opportunities for the students than could be obtained within the individual university departments. Moreover, the breadth of research areas that span various physiological systems (cardiovascular, musculo-skeletal, urological) allows for a unique opportunity to train students to become highly skilled problem' solvers while avoiding over specialization. Since the BiRM training program is not central to any one department, its structure permits the student a much wider choice of options with which to pursue a PhD in tissue bioengineering and regeneration. In the current departmental focus of graduate education, a PhD student in one department that wishes to perform thesis research in a laboratory in another department finds many departmental based administrative roadblocks in his/her path. The BiRM program eliminates these roadblocks and permits ever increasing educational options for the students and research collaborations. Coursework includes intensive life science, and biomechanics is utilized to provide the students with a thorough grounding in both areas. Skills acquired in these courses are combined in later courses and the trainees' research.

描述（由申请人提供）： 该培训计划的目标是为建立富有成效的、 再生医学生物力学（BiRM）的独立职业。这一目标是通过 高度协调和指导的跨学科培训计划，结合了所需和 选修课程、研究活动和专门培训机会。拟议的培训计划包括来自匹兹堡大学生物工程系、机械工程系、整形外科系、血管外科系、泌尿外科系和麦高恩再生医学研究所的教职人员，以及来自卡内基梅隆大学机械和生物医学工程系的教职人员大学。这种培训教师的研究兴趣和课程作业的结合将为学生提供比在各个大学系内获得的丰富的教育经验和更多的培训机会。此外，跨越各种生理系统（心血管、肌肉骨骼、泌尿系统）的研究领域的广度为培养学生成为高技能的问题解决者同时避免过度专业化提供了独特的机会。由于 BiRM 培训项目不是任何一个系的核心，其结构允许学生有更广泛的选择来攻读组织生物工程和再生博士学位。在当前研究生教育的部门重点中，一个部门的博士生希望在另一个部门的实验室进行论文研究，但他/她的道路上发现了许多部门的行政障碍。 BiRM 计划消除了这些障碍，并为学生提供不断增加的教育选择 学生和研究合作。课程包括强化生命科学和生物力学，为学生提供这两个领域的全面基础。在这些课程中获得的技能将结合到以后的课程和学员的研究中。
