It is often stated that the oral health problems facing our nation extend beyond primary disease or developmental pathologies, but are complex and multi-factorial to include genetic, social, cultural, behavioral and environmental factors. In order to effectively manage oral health problems we need to address the multifactorial nature of these conditions. It is our hypothesis that to comprehensively addressing these oral health needs requires individuals who can not only advance the science and discovery processes, but who can also lead and be effective members of multidisciplinary teams. Addressing the oral needs of the nation will require interdisciplinary teams a uniquely trained group of scientists who not only have a firm understanding of the multi-factorial components of the complex oral, dental and craniofacial diseases, but who can also be effective leaders or members of interdisciplinary teams. Clearly, the era of solo or tower-based science programs has passed and highly effective research involves teams of clinicians and scientists. The purpose of this proposed training program is to develop a cohort of successful, independent, basic, clinical and translational Oral Health Research Scholars who can function as interactive scientists to address the nation¿s healthcare needs in dental, oral and craniofacial research. As designed, our program embraces the full spectrum of basic, translational and clinical research including fundamental mechanisms of human disease, therapeutic intervention, clinical trials, oral epidemiology, health services research and health policy. Our goal is to create a new cadre of highly interactive scientists who can serve as research leaders in academic dentistry and research institutions. The NextGen program encompasses three Ph.D. degree granting curricula and training in Oral Biology; Health Policy and Management, or Oral Epidemiology; one M.S. degree granting curriculum and training for Dentists in Clinical Research; and a postdoctoral fellowship for individuals seeking advanced research opportunities in Oral Biology, Health Policy/Management, or Oral Epidemiology The objectives of the UNC NextGen Training Program are to: 1. Train a cadre of oral health scientists able to conduct research in a multidisciplinary setting by recruiting high quality trainees into the five components of our proposed program leading to Ph.D. and M.S. degrees or postdoctoral research fellowship. 2. Expand our current recruitment efforts targeting under-represented minorities and women and incorporate career development components designed to retain these researchers in academic settings. 3. Provide trainees with the necessary didactic and experiential training so that each can develop and apply skills in various cutting edge technologies, such as functional genomics, bioinformatics, and systems biology, for the purpose of rigorous biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research. 4. Provide opportunities for formal training in career development skills that include experimental design, biostatistics and data analysis, manuscript and grant writing, clinical trials coordination and management, data base management, responsible conduct of research, and ethics. 5. Provide opportunities for formal and experiential leadership training (conflict resolution, team management, and cultural competency), permitting trainees to function as leaders and effective members of research teams that integrate multidisciplinary activities ranging from molecules to populations. 6. Facilitate transition of T90 trainees to individual research training awards or other mechanisms of research training support and assist them in career development.

人们经常指出，我们国家面临的口腔健康问题超出了原发性疾病或 发育性病理，但既复杂又多，包括遗传，社会，文化，行为 和环境因素。为了有效地管理口腔健康问题，我们需要解决多因素 这些条件的性质。我们的假设是全面解决这些口头 健康需求需要的个人不仅可以推进科学和发现过程，还需要 他还可以领导并成为多学科团队的有效成员。满足口服需求 国家将需要跨学科团队，一个受训练有素的科学家群体，他们不仅拥有公司 了解复杂口腔，牙科和颅面疾病的多因素成分，但谁 也可以是有效的领导者或跨学科团队的成员。显然，独奏或基于塔的时代 科学计划已经通过，高效研究涉及临床医生和科学家团队。 该拟议培训计划的目的是开发成功，独立，基本， 临床和翻译的口腔健康研究学者，他们可以充当互动科学家来解决 国家的医疗保健需求在牙科，口腔和颅面研究中。按照设计，我们的计划拥抱 基本，翻译和临床研究的全部范围，包括人类的基本机制 疾病，治疗干预，临床试验，口腔流行病学，卫生服务研究和卫生政策。 我们的目标是创建一个由高度互动的科学家组成的新干部，他们可以担任研究领袖 学术牙科和研究机构。 NextGen程序包括三个博士学位。学位授予 口腔生物学课程和培训；卫生政策和管理或口腔流行病学；一个硕士程度 在临床研究中授予牙医的课程和培训；和个人的博士后奖学金 在口腔生物学，卫生政策/管理或口腔流行病学方面寻求先进的研究机会 UNC NextGen培训计划的对象是： 1。培训一组口腔健康科学家可以通过 将高质量培训招募到我们提议的计划的五个组成部分中，导致 博士和M.S.学位或博士后研究奖学金。 2.扩大我们目前的招聘工作，以代表性不足的少数民族和妇女以及 融合了旨在将这些研究人员保留在学术中的职业发展组成部分 设置。 3.为受训者提供必要的教学和经验丰富的培训，以便每个人都可以发展 并在各种尖端技术（例如功能基因组学）中应用技能， 生物信息学和系统生物学，出于严格的生物医学，行为和 临床研究。 4。为包括实验性的职业发展技能提供正式培训的机会 设计，生物统计学和数据分析，手稿和赠款写作，临床试验协调 以及管理，数据库管理，负责任的研究和道德规范。 5。为正式和经验丰富的领导培训提供机会（解决冲突，团队 管理和文化能力），允许学员充当领导者和有效 整合从分子到分子到的多学科活动的研究团队的成员 人群。 6。促进T90学员向个人研究培训奖或其他机制的过渡 研究培训支持并协助他们进行职业发展。
