DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The primary objective of this program is to provide short-term (10 weeks) research training experience for six talented college undergraduate students in the area of oral and craniofacial health and disease. The long- range goal is to increase the number of such students pursuing advanced degree(s) and research training in oral, dental and craniofacial biology through the interest generated by exposure to a broad spectrum of research activities in this area. The Program Faculty have been selected on the basis of their active research programs in the areas of periodontal diseases, oral infectious diseases, craniofacial development, oral cancer biology and oral microbiology. Some faculty also engage in clinical and community-based oral health research on oral-systemic diseases that disproportionately affect African Americans, including oral cancer, periodontal diseases, early childhood caries and the oral disease burden of chronic diseases such as obesity and diabetes. Students in the program will become intimately involved in ongoing projects in one of the participating laboratories. They will be exposed to essential aspects of conducting basic and clinical research related to oral health and disease. Students also will participate in a seminar series that features cutting-edge topics in biological research with a specific focus on topics related to oral and craniofacial biology. In addition, the seminar series will provide a fundamental knowledge base in laboratory safety and responsible conduct of research. The proposed training program also will expose the students to cutting-edge clinical dentistry, diagnostics and patient-oriented research. At the conclusion of the training period, the students will prepare a written paper and give an oral presentation on their project to an audience of fellow students, mentors, graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. They will be encouraged to return to campus in November to present their research at a university-wide annual research day. The program will be evaluated at the end of each year using a combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches, including analysis of the applicant pool data and recruitment methods, exit interviews and surveys with the students, and formal and informal feedback from the mentors. Additionally, students' career choices and progress will be tracked for a minimum of 10 years by yearly contact with the participants. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The goal of this program is to attract talented undergraduate college students into careers in oral, dental and craniofacial sciences, particularly fields of relevance to the NIDCR. This is expected to increase the supply of qualified investigators who are studying oral, dental and craniofacial diseases. Increasing the work force in these fields will result in an enhanced capacity to address oral health-related disease and improve the quality of oral health care nationwide.

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目的主要目标是为六名口腔和颅面健康与疾病领域的优秀本科生提供短期（10周）研究培训经验。长期目标是通过接触该领域广泛的研究活动所产生的兴趣，增加攻读口腔、牙科和颅面生物学高级学位和研究培训的学生数量。该项目的教师是根据他们在牙周病、口腔传染病、颅面发育、口腔癌生物学和口腔微生物学领域的活跃研究项目来选择的。一些教师还从事临床和社区口腔健康研究，研究对非裔美国人影响尤为严重的口腔系统疾病，包括口腔癌、牙周病、儿童早期龋齿以及肥胖和糖尿病等慢性疾病的口腔疾病负担。该项目的学生将密切参与参与实验室之一正在进行的项目。他们将接触到进行与口腔健康和疾病相关的基础和临床研究的基本方面。学生还将参加一系列研讨会，该系列研讨会以生物学研究的前沿主题为特色，特别关注与口腔和颅面生物学相关的主题。此外，该研讨会系列将提供实验室安全和负责任的研究行为的基础知识。拟议的培训计划还将让学生接触最先进的临床牙科、诊断和以患者为导向的研究。培训结束时，学生将准备一份书面论文，并向同学、导师、研究生和博士后等观众就他们的项目进行口头介绍。我们将鼓励他们在 11 月返回校园，在全校年度研究日上展示他们的研究成果。该项目将在每年年底采用定性和定量相结合的方法进行评估，包括对申请人库数据和招聘方法的分析、对学生的离职面谈和调查以及导师的正式和非正式反馈。此外，我们将通过每年与参与者的联系来跟踪学生的职业选择和进展至少 10 年。 公共卫生相关性：该计划的目标是吸引有才华的本科生进入口腔、牙科和颅面科学领域，特别是与 NIDCR 相关的领域。预计这将增加研究口腔、牙科和颅面疾病的合格研究人员的供应。增加这些领域的劳动力将 从而提高解决口腔健康相关疾病的能力并提高全国口腔保健的质量。
