DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed program is designed to train postdoctoral researchers, at the level of MDs, MD/PhDs, and PhD scientists, interested in biomedical research in the area of rheumatic diseases. The training program will consist of a bench research laboratory experience of 12-36 months, under the close supervision of a mentor working on immunologic, molecular biologic, or biochemical problems relevant to the rheumatoid diseases, with an emphasis on generating novel research-based translational approaches to rheumatic diseases and ultimately, potential new targeted therapeutic interventions. Co-mentoring and team mentoring are features of the program, to mesh complementary skills and resources of more than one preceptor, in an individualized manner appropriate to the trainee and research project. All trainees will take courses in scientific ethic and scientific methodology. Other formal academic course work is available for those interested, at the discretion of the trainee and mentor. Training will be physicians, and MD/PhDs, who have completed one year of internship and two or more years of house staff training, usually in general internal medicine, or PhD scientists with an interest in devoting research efforts to subjects relevant to rheumatic diseases. Trainees will be chosen on the basis of their prior academic performance, research experience, publications, interviews, and recommendations from supervisors. Preference will be given to those with acknowledged research interests in rheumatologic and immunologic diseases, and demonstrated capacities in research. Four postdoctoral fellows will be selected to participate in the three-year fellowship. At the completio of the training, they will be prepared to compete successfully for full-time academic positions in medical schools or research institutes. We anticipate that the majority of the physicians and MD/PhDs will operate as rheumatologists within Departments of Medicine or as research scientists in academic centers or industry. The primary training unit will be the Rheumatology, Allergy and Immunology Division, in the Department of Medicine, University of California, San Diego, School of Medicine. At UCSD, training can be obtained in research laboratories located at the Biomedical Science, Leichtag, and Clinical Sciences Building located in La Jolla, or the San Diego Veterans Administration Medical Center also located adjoining the UCSD campus in La Jolla. Additional training is available in the UCSD Departments of Pediatrics, Bioengineering and Pharmacology, Genetics, and at nearby research institutions in the La Jolla research hub (i.e., the Scripps Research Institute, the La Jolla Institute of Allergy and Immunology, and the Sanford-Burnham Institute). Abundant patient sample resources and clinical research consultative resources are also available through the UCSD Clinical and Translational Research Institute, the UCSD Center for Innovative Therapy clinical research unit, and clinical facilities a UCSD Medical Center and the VA Medical Center.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的计划旨在培训MDS，MD/PHD和博士学位科学家水平的博士后研究人员，对风湿病疾病领域的生物医学研究感兴趣。该培训计划将包括在与类风湿疾病有关的免疫，分子生物学或生化问题的导师的密切监督下，由12-36个月的基准研究实验室经验组成风湿性疾病的方法，最终是潜在的新目标治疗干预措施。授课和团队指导是该计划的功能，以适合受训者和研究项目的个性化方式，以多个主持人的互补技能和资源进行互补的技能和资源。所有学员将参加科学道德和科学方法论的课程。由受训者和导师酌情决定感兴趣的人，其他正规的学术课程工作也可以。培训将是医生和医学博士学位，他们已经完成了一年的实习和两年或更多年的房屋员工培训，通常是在一般内科医学上，或者有兴趣将研究工作用于与风湿病相关的受试者的博士学位科学家。将根据先前的学业表现，研究经验，出版物，访谈和主管的建议来选择学员。将优先考虑风湿病和免疫疾病中具有公认研究兴趣的人，并表现出研究能力。将选出四名博士后研究员参加为期三年的奖学金。在培训完成时，他们将准备成功竞争医学院或研究机构的全日制学位。我们预计，大多数医生和MD/PHD将在医学部门或学术中心或行业的研究科学家中作为风湿病学家运作。主要培训部门将是加州大学圣地亚哥分校医学系医学系的风湿病学和免疫学部。在UCSD，可以在位于La Jolla的生物医学科学，Leichtag和临床科学大楼的研究实验室或位于La Jolla的UCSD校园附近的研究实验室进行培训。在La Jolla研究中心的儿科，生物工程和药理学，遗传学，遗传学以及附近的研究机构（即Scripps研究所，La Jola Jolla Allerergy and Immunology和Immunology和Sanford-Burnham研究所）以及Sanford-Burnham，可以接受其他培训。研究所）。大量的患者样本资源和临床研究咨询资源也可通过UCSD临床和转化研究所，UCSD创新治疗中心临床研究部门以及UCSD医疗中心和VA医疗中心获得。
