DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a revised application from the Indiana University School of Medicine (IUSM) to support the Indiana Cutaneous Biology Research Training Program (ICBRTP), which will focus on the training of postdoctoral cutaneous biologists. The goal of the proposed program is to produce post-doctoral trainees in an interdisciplinary environment of highly interactive basic scientists and clinicians and prepare them for a career in cutaneous biology research. A group of 10 very experienced senior faculty with a long history of skin-related research have been assembled to serve as preceptors for this T32 training program. This group along with six junior faculty serving as resource faculty have created a highly productive translational research environment. Strengths of the program include the leadership of a Program Director and two Associate Program Directors, all three with established administrative, training, and research experience in both basic and clinical science, and the quality of the preceptors, research environment, and diversity of skin-related research, and a full spectrum of existing resources for performing "bench to bedside" research projects. Preceptors and resource faculty of the ICBRTP represent a total of nine separate clinical or basic science departments and currently have ~ $27 million of peer reviewed direct research funds per year. These preceptors have extensive experience in training young scientists who have successfully continued in academic and research positions. Support is requested for 2 post-doctoral PhD or MD trainees, and an additional fellowship position will be funded by the IU Department of Dermatology. All trainees will take courses in scientific ethics and translational research methods. Didactic coursework requirements will be tailored to the research focus of the post-doctoral fellow. Program-specific educational/research events include a weekly Dermatology Research in Progress meeting, basic science and clinical conferences and attendance at the annual Society for Investigative Dermatology Meeting. In addition to research, trainees will write and present a grant proposal. A program- specific Steering Committee comprising senior investigators who are T32 program directors, External Advisory Committee comprising four investigators who represent diverse training experiences at other institutions, and a four-step program evaluation process are in place. ICBRTP will augment the commitment of the IUSM to educate researchers who will discover new diagnostic tools, and alter therapeutic paradigms in the development of new and more efficacious treatments for skin diseases.

描述（由申请人提供）：这是印第安纳大学医学院 (IUSM) 的修订申请，旨在支持印第安纳皮肤生物学研究培训计划 (ICBRTP)，该计划将重点培训博士后皮肤生物学家。该项目的目标是在基础科学家和临床医生高度互动的跨学科环境中培养博士后学员，并为他们从事皮肤生物学研究做好准备。由 10 名经验丰富、长期从事皮肤相关研究的高级教师组成的团队已被召集起来，担任 T32 培训项目的导师。该小组与六名担任资源教师的初级教师一起创造了一个高效的转化研究环境。该项目的优势包括一名项目主任和两名副项目主任的领导，所有三人都在基础科学和临床科学方面拥有丰富的行政、培训和研究经验，以及导师的质量、研究环境和皮肤多样性。相关研究，以及用于执行“实验室到临床”研究项目的全方位现有资源。 ICBRTP 的导师和资源教师总共代表九个独立的临床或基础科学部门，目前每年拥有约 2700 万美元的同行评审直接研究资金。这些导师在培训年轻科学家方面拥有丰富的经验，他们成功地继续担任学术和研究职务。需要为 2 名博士后博士或医学博士实习生提供支持，印第安纳大学皮肤科将资助一个额外的研究金职位。所有学员都将学习科学伦理和转化研究方法课程。教学课程要求将根据博士后研究员的研究重点进行定制。特定计划的教育/研究活动包括每周一次的皮肤病学研究进展会议、基础科学和临床会议以及参加年度皮肤病学研究学会会议。除了研究之外，学员还将撰写并提交资助提案。由担任 T32 项目主任的高级研究人员组成的特定项目指导委员会、由代表其他机构不同培训经验的四名研究人员组成的外部咨询委员会以及四步项目评估流程均已到位。 ICBRTP 将增强 IUSM 的承诺，即教育研究人员发现新的诊断工具，并改变治疗范式，开发新的、更有效的皮肤病治疗方法。
