DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this program is to leverage the physiology and psychology expertise and the current resources available at Northwestern University to train predoctoral students in Biomedical Engineering and Psychology and MD and PhD postdoctoral trainees in Gastroenterology, Surgery and Psychology for careers focused on research in functional foregut disorders. The study of functional and motor foregut disorders is complicated and requires a multidisciplinary approach that incorporates an understanding of the mechanical, physiological and inflammatory aspects of gastrointestinal tract function and the cognitive and psychosocial factors that alter symptom response. This training program will build on the successful integration of the Esophageal Center and Center for Psychosocial Research at Northwestern University and also utilize resources from current collaborations with the Center for Healthcare Studies, the Cognitive Brain Mapping Group and translational research colleagues in Allergy-Immunology and Pathology. The fellowship in Gastroenterology and Hepatology, residency program in Surgery and the graduate programs in Engineering and Psychology attract top-notch applicants for these training positions. Each trainee will work with both a primary research mentor and a co-mentor, which will foster interaction between research and clinical faculty and enhance the collaborative aspects of the trainee's research experience. A training program consisting of structured research and mentorship that combines a Master of Science in Clinical Investigation or Public Health degee, seminars, career development programs, and education in the ethical conduct of research has been developed to promote excellence in research focused on functional foregut disorders. We propose to fund one highly qualified predoctoral student and one highly qualified postdoctoral MD or PhD trainee per year for a two-year intensive research experience. Thus, our program will have 4 trainees at steady-state and currently we have the interest from prospective applicants and commitment from our potential mentors, departments and university to support this program.

描述（由申请人提供）：该计划的目的是利用西北大学的生理学和心理学专业知识以及当前的资源来培训生物医学工程和心理学专业的学生以及MD和PHD博士后学员的胃肠道，外科手术和心理学的职业，专注于在功能障碍方面研究的研究。对功能性和运动性疾病的研究很复杂，需要一种多学科的方法，该方法结合了胃肠道功能的机械，生理和炎症方面的理解以及改变症状反应的认知和心理社会因素。该培训计划将建立在西北大学食道中心和心理社会研究中心的成功整合，并利用与医疗保健研究中心，认知脑图映射小组和转化研究同事的当前合作中的资源。胃肠病学和肝病学奖学金，手术居住计划以及工程和心理学研究生计划吸引了这些培训职位的一流申请人。每个学员都将与主要的研究导师和辅导员一起工作，这将促进研究与临床教师之间的相互作用，并增强受训者研究经验的协作方面。一项由结构化研究和指导组成的培训计划结合了临床调查或公共卫生DEGEE，研讨会，职业发展计划和教育研究方面的教育的培训计划，已开发出旨在促进专注于功能性疾病的研究方面的卓越研究。我们建议每年为一名高素质的前学生和一名高素质的博士后医学博士或博士学位学员提供资金，以获得两年的密集研究经验。因此，我们的计划将在Steate-State拥有4位学员，目前，我们对潜在申请人的兴趣以及潜在的导师，系和大学的承诺来支持该计划。
