Description (provided by applicant): The purpose of this training program is to prepare MD, MD/PhD, or PhD postdoctoral fellows for research careers in the multidisciplinary field of Transfusion Medicine. Since 1985, 35 individuals have participated in this Training Program at the University of Pennsylvania. With few exceptions, all trainees have pursued careers in academic medicine and have continued on in either clinical or basic research having obtained many federal and non-federal grants along the way. Of the 28 who have already completed training, 20 former trainees have become directors or associate directors of academic blood banks and transfusion medicine sections across the country. Because of the many interested, qualified applicants and our successful training record, the program was awarded this T32 training grant beginning in 1994. This has allowed us to provide support for 13 of the 35 individuals. The uniqueness of this program lies in the availability of a broad-based research environment coupled with a well-established clinical Transfusion Medicine training program. This represents one of few such Transfusion Medicine postdoctoral training programs in this country. Research trainees conduct independent research for at least 2 years in the laboratory of an experienced mentor. Mentors are selected among faculty with diverse interests including cell membrane structure/function (red cells, platelets), immunobiology of autoimmune and neoplastic disorders, hematopoiesis and stem cell biology, blood coagulation, virology, and genetic engineering. Opportunities to coordinate trainee research experience with our Transfusion Medicine/Hemostasis Clinical Trial Network is featured in this renewal along with significant emphasis in the area of translational research and cell engineering in which our institution has invested considerable resources. The mentors selected for this program include many senior scientists with extensive experience training postdoctoral fellows and with current, active, interlaboratory collaborations. In addition to investigative work, the Training Program comprises an integrated mix of educational components including didactics, journal clubs, seminars, venues for presentation of trainees' research, as well as a requirement that each trainee participate in one or more teaching opportunities. The program plan includes specific steps for minority recruitment and for the training of MD's with little research experience. Educational programs for trainees in bioethics, grant writing, laboratory safety, and laboratory management are also included. The program's Director and Oversight Committee strive to design an educational experience tailored for each individual trainee.

描述（由申请人提供）： 该培训计划的目的是为输血医学多学科领域的研究职业准备MD，MD/PhD或博士博士后研究员。自1985年以来，有35个人参加了宾夕法尼亚大学的培训计划。除了少数例外，所有学员都从事学术医学的职业，并继续从事临床或基础研究的继续工作，一路上获得了许多联邦和非联邦赠款。在已经完成培训的28名中，有20名前学员已成为全国学术血库和输血医学部门的董事或副董事。由于有许多感兴趣的，合格的申请人和我们成功的培训记录，该计划于1994年开始授予T32培训补助金。这使我们能够为35个人中的13个人提供支持。该计划的独特性在于提供基于广泛的研究环境，再加上建立的临床输血医学培训计划。这代表了这个国家的少数这样的输血博士后培训计划之一。研究学员在经验丰富的导师的实验室中进行至少2年的独立研究。在具有多种兴趣的教师中，包括细胞膜结构/功能（红细胞，血小板），自身免疫性和肿瘤疾病的免疫生物学，造血细胞生物学，血液凝结，病毒学和遗传工程。在此续签中介绍了与我们的输血医学/止血临床试验网络协调学员研究经验的机会，同时在转化研究和细胞工程领域的重要重点是我们的机构投资了大量资源。为该计划选择的导师包括许多具有丰富经验的高级科学家培训博士后研究员，以及当前的活跃，实验室间合作。除了调查工作外，培训计划还包括教育组成部分的综合组合，包括教学，期刊俱乐部，研讨会，介绍受训者研究的场所，以及每个学员都参与一个或多个教学机会的要求。该计划计划包括少数族裔招聘的具体步骤，以及在没有研究经验的情况下对MD的培训。还包括针对生物伦理​​学，赠款写作，实验室安全和实验室管理的教育计划。该计划的董事和监督委员会努力设计为每个学员量身定制的教育经验。
