The Department of Physiology & Biomedical Engineering (BME) at Mayo Clinic has a long and rich history of preparing pre- and postdoctoral students for academic careers in a biomedical research environment that is increasingly more technological and complex. We strongly believe that a training grant that takes the novel approach of encouraging and nurturing biomedical research skills alongside computational, mathematical and engineering skills will create a unique cadre of future leaders in biomedical research related to lung disease. Under the auspices of the Training Program in Lung Physiology and Biomedical Engineering we successfully implemented a multifaceted program to train the next generation of biomedical researchers in lung physiology and disease. We recruited highly competitive predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees from different backgrounds (including clinicians (MDs)) who highlighted the success of our multidisciplinary approach. Accordingly, in this first renewal of our T32, the primary objectives of the training program will continue to be to train three groups of trainees for biomedical research careers in lung physiology and disease: 1) Predoctoral PhD (or MD/PhD) students with undergraduate backgrounds in engineering, mathematics or physics; 2) Postdoctoral PhD scientists with backgrounds in engineering, mathematics, physics or basic biomedical sciences; and 3) Postdoctoral MD or MD/PhD clinician-scientists. To achieve our objectives, we are requesting support for 2 predoctoral students (PhD or MD/PhD) and 6 postdoctoral trainees (with PhD and/or MD). From a pool of highly competitive eligible candidates with diverse backgrounds, we plan to recruit: 1) Predoctoral students via the Mayo Graduate (PhD students) and Medical (MD/PhD students) Schools; 2) Postdoctoral PhD scientists from applicants working in or applying to faculty laboratories; and 3) Postdoctoral MD or MD/PhD clinician-scientists from the large pool of residents or fellows from participating clinical departments (especially Anesthesiology, Pulmonary/Critical Care, Radiology and Surgery). A total of 20 highly-funded faculty mentors were selected based on their outstanding pre- and postdoctoral training records and their abilities to support trainees via extramural funding. The program is jointly led by Drs. Gary Sieck, PhD (Prof of Physiology, BME, and Anesthesiology; contact PI) and Y.S. Prakash, MD, PhD (Professor and Chair of Physiology and BME, Vice-Chair, Anesthesiology; Co-PI) who have extensive experience in biomedical research and demonstrated leadership in graduate and postgraduate education as well as administration at departmental, institutional and national levels. Individual trainee needs are met by common formal didactic program in lung physiology and BME, customized elective coursework, and training in writing manuscripts, grant applications, presentations, professional networking and interview skills. Success of the training program will be determined by retention and placement of trainees in academia at all levels of career development and ultimately as established, extramurally-funded biomedical researchers.

Mayo Clinic的生理与生物医学工程系（BME）拥有悠久而丰富的历史 在生物医学研究环境中为学术职业准备前和博士后学生 越来越多的技术和复杂。我们坚信，培训赠款将这部小说授予 鼓励和培养生物医学研究技能以及计算，数学和 工程技巧将创建一个与肺部疾病有关的生物医学研究领导者的独特干部。 在肺部生理学和生物医学工程培训计划的主持下，我们 成功实施了一个多面计划，以培训肺的下一代生物医学研究人员 生理和疾病。我们从不同 背景（包括临床医生（MDS））强调了我们多学科方法的成功。 因此，在我们T32的第一次续签中，培训计划的主要目标将继续是 培训三组学员，从事肺部生理学和疾病的生物医学研究职业：1） 具有工程，数学或物理学的本科背景的博士学位（或医学博士/博士学位）学生； 2） 具有工程，数学，物理或基本生物医学的背景的博士后博士科学家 科学； 3）博士后MD或MD/PhD临床医生科学家。为了实现我们的目标，我们要求 支持2名学生（博士学位或MD/PHD）和6名博士后学员（拥有博士学位和/或MD）。来自 具有不同背景的高度竞争符合条件的候选人库，我们计划招募：1） 通过Mayo毕业生（博士生）和医学（MD/PhD学生）学校的学生； 2）博士后博士 来自从事或申请教师实验室的申请人的科学家； 3）博士后MD或MD/PHD 来自参与临床部门的大量居民或研究员的临床医生科学家（尤其是 麻醉学，肺/重症监护，放射学和手术）。共有20位高度资助的教师导师 根据其出色的学前和博士后培训记录及其支持的能力选择。 学员通过壁外资金。该计划由Drs共同领导。 Gary Sieck博士（生理学教授，BME， 和麻醉学；联系PI）和Y.S.医学博士Prakash，博士（生理学教授兼BME主席，BME， 副主席，麻醉学； Co-Pi）在生物医学研究方面拥有丰富的经验并证明 领导研究生和研究生教育以及部门，机构和行政管理 国家一级。单个学员的需求是通过肺部生理学的普通正式教学计划满足的 BME，定制的选修课程以及书写手稿，赠款申请，演示文稿， 专业的网络和面试技巧。培训计划的成功将由保留确定 以及在各个职业发展的学术界中安置学员，并最终确定， 外部资助的生物医学研究人员。
