DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): 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 multi- factorial 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.

描述（由申请人提供）：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，但复杂而多因素，包括遗传，社会，文化，行为，行为和环境因素。为了有效地管理口腔健康问题，我们需要解决这些条件的多阶段性质。我们的假设是，要全面满足这些口腔健康需求，不仅可以推进科学和发现过程的个人，而且还可以领导并成为多学科团队的有效成员。满足国家的口头需求将需要跨学科的团队，这是一个受训练有素的科学家群体，他们不仅对复杂口腔，牙科和颅面疾病的多因素组成部分有着坚定的了解，而且他们也可以成为跨学科团队的有效领导者或成员。显然，基于塔或塔的科学计划的时代已经过去，高效的研究涉及临床医生和科学家团队。该建议的培训计划的目的是开发一系列成功，独立，基础，临床和翻译口腔健康研究学者，他们可以充当互动科学家，以满足该国在牙科，口腔和颅面研究中的医疗保健需求。按照设计，我们的计划涵盖了基本，转化和临床研究的全部范围，包括人类疾病，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的基本机制。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，他们可以担任学术牙科和研究机构的研究领导者。 NextGen程序包括三个博士学位。授予口腔生物学课程和培训的学位；卫生政策和管理或口腔流行病学；一个硕士为临床研究授予牙医课程和培训的学位；以及为寻求口腔生物学，健康政策/管理或口腔生物学领域的高级研究机会的个人提供的博士后奖学金，UNC NextGen培训计划的目标是：1。培训一批口腔健康科学家，能够通过将高质量的培训人员招募到我们建议的ph.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d. thementhip。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为目标，并纳入了旨在将这些研究人员保留在学术环境中的职业发展组成部分。 3.为受训者提供必要的教学和体验训练，以便每个人都可以在各种尖端技术中发展和运用技能，例如功能基因组学，生物信息学和系统生物学，以进行严格的生物医学，行为和临床研究。 4。为职业发展技能进行正式培训提供机会，包括实验设计，生物统计学和数据分析，手稿和赠款写作，临床试验协调和管理，数据基础管理，负责任的研究和道德规范。 5。为正式和体验式领导力培训（解决冲突，团队管理和文化能力）提供机会，使学员可以作为领导者和有效的研究团队成员的工作，这些研究团队整合了从分子到人群的多学科活动。 6。促进T90受训者过渡到个人研究培训奖或其他研究培训的机制，并帮助他们进行职业发展。
