DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of our training program is to prepare physicians and pre- and post-doctoral trainees for biomedical research careers in digestive diseases by providing concentrated, structured, and well-mentored research training. The program provides training to 4 postdoctoral fellows and 1 predoctoral student, with a mix of 2-3 physician-scientists and 1-2 translational/basic research postdoctoral trainees per year. Our program offers opportunities in core research training units that reflect the clinical Centers of Excellence in the Digestive Disorder Center leveraged against the basic science strengths of the University of Pittsburgh: 1) Inflammatory Bowel Diseases; 2) Neurogastroenterology and Motility; 3) Pancreas, Biliary and Liver Diseases; 4) GI Cancer; and 5) Clinical Epidemiology and Outcomes Research. Each of these units integrates the scientific disciplines of genetics, immunology, neuroscience, molecular and cellular biology, and epidemiology. The training faculty all have R01 or equivalent funding, excellent training records, productive collaborations, and a dedication to understanding the pathophysiology of digestive diseases. Together they form a complementary and well-integrated entity dedicated to research training and investigations in gastroenterology, hepatology, pancreatic, and nutritional disorders, with research foci ranging from small molecules to large patient cohorts. Trainees develop a research project under the close supervision of a faculty trainer and are monitored by a mentoring committee as well as by the program Executive Committee. Didactic lectures, research seminars, journal clubs, formal course work, and attendance at scientific meetings supplement this intensively structured research experience. Predoctoral trainees prepare and submit F30 or F31 applications and graduate ready to compete for individual F32 fellowship support. Postdoctoral graduates will be prepared to compete for independent funding (F32, K, R) and entry-level faculty positions in academic medicine. Clinical fellows trainees leave the program with strong core research skills and data and publications with which to launch their careers. Basic science trainees take with them the experience of working with clinicians on clinically driven questions that serve as the foundation for their own translational research program. Program graduates, including some that now serve as faculty on this award for which we seek renewal, have indeed attained independent academic positions and secured career development and research project grant funding to support their own programs of study.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们的培训计划的目的是通过提供集中，结构化和经过良好的研究培训来为消化疾病的生物医学研究职业做准备医生和博士前和博士后学员。该计划为4名博士后研究员和1名学生提供培训，其中包括2-3位医生 - 科学家和1-2个转化/基础研究后每年的教学后学员。我们的计划在核心研究培训单元中提供了机会，反映了消化障碍中心的临床卓越中心，该中心利用了匹兹堡大学的基础科学优势：1）炎症性肠病； 2）神经肠道学和运动； 3）胰腺，胆道和肝病； 4）胃肠癌； 5）临床流行病学和结果研究。这些单元中的每一个都整合了遗传学，免疫学，神经科学，分子和细胞生物学以及流行病学的科学学科。培训学院都有R01或同等资金，出色的培训记录，富有成效的合作以及对理解消化疾病的病理生理学的奉献精神。它们共同构成了一个互补良好的实体，致力于胃肠病学，肝病学，胰腺和营养障碍的研究培训和研究，研究焦点从小分子到大型患者群体。受训者在教师培训师的密切监督下开发了一个研究项目，并由指导委员会以及计划执行委员会监视。教学讲座，研究研讨会，期刊俱乐部，正式课程工作以及参加科学会议的出席补充了这一结构化的研究经验。托管前学员准备并提交F30或F31申请，并准备竞争单个F32奖学金支持。博士后毕业生将准备竞争独立资金（F32，K，R）和入门级教师学术医学的职位。临床研究员受训者离开该计划具有强大的核心研究技能，数据和出版物，以启动其职业生涯。基础科学学员带着与临床医生一起研究临床驱动问题的经验，这些问题是他们自己的转化研究计划的基础。课程毕业生，包括一些现在是我们寻求续签这一奖项的教师，确实已经获得了独立的学术职位，并获得了职业发展和研究项目赠款资金，以支持他们自己的学习计划。
