DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The National Bone and Joint Decade, 2002-2011, envisions a series of initiatives among physicians, health professionals, patients, and communities, working together to promote research and development into therapies, preventative measures, and cures for the rheumatic diseases. This comes at a time when there is a growing concern that the number of newly trained academic scientists equipped to make major advances and to assume leadership roles will be inadequate. Accordingly, the Fellowship Training Program in Rheumatology and Clinical Immunogenetics represents a cooperative effort of accomplished faculty from the academic components of the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston and the Texas Children's Hospital to provide to outstanding, academically pre-and postdoctoral fellows intensive basic or clinical research training in rheumatology, genetics and health services research. A productive and collaborative group of senior scientists and physician-scientists with complementary interests and a demonstrated commitment to mentorship and training will serve as mentoring faculty to two predoctoral and four postdoctoral fellows. The faculty laboratories offer research experience in important areas of rheumatology, genetics and molecular biology. The program provides training and didactic instruction in fundamental and state-of-the-art disciplines, including molecular genetics, biochemistry, transgenic technologies, immunology, genomics and epidemiology. The trainees will also profit from the substantial resources of the Texas Medical Center and the enormous population of at-risk or affected patients in the area. All applicants in this program must have a firm commitment to a career in academic investigation and to the goals of the Training Program. All trainees will be required to attend specific courses addressing research methodology, experimental design, research integrity and ethics, and representation by trainees from diverse backgrounds will be encouraged. Thus this Program will contribute to a new generation of academic rheumatologists equipped to address challenging problems in rheumatology, genetics and health services research.

描述（由申请人提供）：国家骨和联合十年，2002 - 2011年，设想了医师，卫生专业人员，患者和社区中的一系列举措，共同努力促进风湿病疾病的治疗，预防措施以及治疗疗法的研究和发展。这是在越来越担心的是，有能力取得重大进步并认为领导职务的新训练的学术科学家人数将不足。因此，风湿病学和临床免疫遗传学方面的研究金培训计划代表了休斯敦德克萨斯大学健康科学中心和德克萨斯儿童医院的学术成分的合作努力，为杰出的，学术前的学术前和博士后研究生的基础或临床研究培训提供了流变学研究培训。一个具有互补兴趣的高级科学家和医师科学家和医师科学家组成的富有成效和合作的小组，并表现出对指导和培训的承诺，将作为指导教师的两个教师，并为两名博士后研究员和四名博士后研究员提供指导。教师实验室在风湿病，遗传学和分子生物学的重要领域提供研究经验。该计划提供了基本和最先进学科的培训和教学教学，包括分子遗传学，生物化学，转基因技术，免疫学，基因组学和流行病学。学员还将从得克萨斯州医疗中心的大量资源以及该地区的高危患者或受影响的患者中获利。该计划中的所有申请人都必须对学术调查的职业和培训计划的目标有坚定的承诺。将鼓励所有学员参加有关研究方法，实验设计，研究完整性和道德规范的特定课程，并鼓励来自不同背景的学员代表。因此，该计划将为新一代的学术风湿病学家做出贡献，该学家能够解决风湿病，遗传学和卫生服务研究中有挑战性的问题。
