DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Diabetes mellitus and obesity are important causes of morbidity and mortality in the United States and other industrialized and developing nations. The University of Illinois at Chicago is committed to training new investigators to address this major health care problem. This training program will target physicians who are committed to pursuing a career in investigative medicine related to diabetes, nutrition and obesity research. Trainees will complete 3 years of intensively mentored research training in an environment that fosters interaction between clinical and basic sciences, and encourages translational research. The typical trainee will complete 1 year of clinical training in Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism (instead of 2) before entering this program. Reducing the time required for clinical training in Endocrinology (and in Internal Medicine for those in the Physician-Investigator Pathway) will enhance recruitment and retention of candidates targeting a career in investigative medicine. Outstanding candidates from other clinical disciplines also can be considered for research training. By design, we provide excellent opportunities for focused mentored training in laboratory-based and clinical research, behavioral and preventive medicine, and community-based research related to diabetes and obesity. Candidates will complete selected graduate level courses pertinent to their mentored research program, and they will receive training in research integrity and ethics. Mentors are selected based on areas of expertise and interests, complementary research skills, achievement in extramural funding, scientific productivity, and record of strong mentorship. Trainees will develop individualized research programs, learn to write grant proposals, and receive career counseling and assistance in academic job placement. The success of the program will be evaluated based on the academic success of trainees, and progress will be closely monitored by a research advisory committee, internal executive committee, external advisory board and the principle investigator. This program is designed to provide excellent training for physician investigators in research related to diabetes and obesity in a vibrant and scientifically responsible environment that has a strong commitment to attracting individuals from under-represented minorities.

描述（由申请人提供）：糖尿病和肥胖是美国及其他工业化国家和发展中国家发病和死亡的重要原因。伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校致力于培训新的研究人员来解决这一重大的医疗保健问题。该培训计划将针对致力于从事与糖尿病、营养和肥胖研究相关的研究医学职业的医生。学员将在促进临床和基础科学之间互动并鼓励转化研究的环境中完成为期 3 年的集中指导研究培训。典型的学员在进入该项目之前将完成 1 年的内分泌学、糖尿病和代谢临床培训（而不是 2 年）。减少内分泌学（以及医师-研究者途径的内科医学）临床培训所需的时间将增强针对研究医学职业的候选人的招募和保留。其他临床学科的优秀候选人也可以考虑接受研究培训。通过设计，我们为实验室和临床研究、行为和预防医学以及与糖尿病和肥胖相关的社区研究提供集中指导培训的绝佳机会。候选人将完成与其指导的研究项目相关的选定研究生水平课程，并且他们将接受研究诚信和道德方面的培训。导师的选择基于专业知识和兴趣领域、互补的研究技能、校外资助的成就、科学生产力和强有力的指导记录。学员将制定个性化的研究计划，学习撰写资助提案，并接受职业咨询和学术工作安置方面的帮助。该项目的成功将根据学员的学术成就进行评估，研究咨询委员会、内部执行委员会、外部咨询委员会和首席研究员将密切监测进展情况。该计划旨在在一个充满活力和对科学负责的环境中为糖尿病和肥胖症相关研究的医生研究人员提供优秀的培训，该环境坚定地致力于吸引来自代表性不足的少数族裔的个人。
