PROJECT SUMMARY / ABSTRACT This is a competing renewal application for a T32 grant that supports Training in Craniofacial and Oral Health Research (T-COHR), an integrated research training program based in the College of Dental Medicine at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC). The overarching objective of T-COHR is to foster the development of clinician scientists and scientists focused on oral, dental and craniofacial research. To accomplish this goal, T-COHR offers mentored, interdisciplinary research training opportunities in oral health, craniofacial biology and bioengineering. T-COHR provides a strong curriculum and thematic research experiences in an integrative framework that emphasizes mentoring, scientific advancement, academic career development, grantsmanship, and productivity. For this renewal period, we are requesting (1) continued support for the Dental Scientist Training Program (DSTP), offering a consolidated DMD/PhD degree pathway; (2) continued support for predoctoral research training leading to the PhD degree in biomedical sciences or bioengineering with applications to oral/craniofacial health; and (3) continued support for postdoctoral research training for dentist-scientists and/or non-clinician PhD scientists in basic, translational or bioengineering sciences important to dental, oral or craniofacial health. T-COHR is an integral part of the Center for Oral Health Research (COHR), a University Center of Research Excellence in the College of Dental Medicine that engages faculty and trainees in other disciplines and departments in the Colleges of Medicine, Graduate Studies, Pharmacy and Dental Medicine at MUSC, the Department of Bioengineering at Clemson University, and the NCI-designated Hollings Cancer Center at MUSC. Mentoring and training activities are thematically grouped into 4 strategic areas of research focus: (i) molecular and cellular biology of oral infectious diseases, (ii) oral pharyngeal cancer biology and cancer immunology, (iii) bioengineering/biomechanics of the oral and craniofacial complex, and (iv) craniofacial growth and development. T-COHR benefits from excellent administrative support and institutional commitment that have provided continued support to the Center for Oral Health Research. An integrated multi-year evaluation plan will be used to measure the extent to which T- COHR goals and objectives are met.

项目概要/摘要 这是一项 T32 补助金的竞争性更新申请，支持颅面和口腔健康培训 研究 (T-COHR) 是一项以牙科医学院为基础的综合研究培训项目 南卡罗来纳医科大学 (MUSC)。 T-COHR 的总体目标是促进 临床医生科学家和科学家的发展侧重于口腔、牙科和颅面研究。到 为了实现这一目标，T-COHR 提供口腔健康领域受指导的跨学科研究培训机会， 颅面生物学和生物工程。 T-COHR 提供强大的课程和主题研究 强调指导、科学进步、学术生涯的综合框架中的经验 发展、资助和生产力。在此续订期内，我们要求 (1) 继续 支持牙科科学家培训计划（DSTP），提供综合的 DMD/PhD 学位途径； (2) 继续支持获得生物医学博士学位的博士前研究培训或 生物工程及其在口腔/颅面健康中的应用； （3）继续支持博士后研究 为牙医科学家和/或非临床博士科学家提供基础、转化或生物工程方面的培训 对牙齿、口腔或颅面健康很重要的科学。 T-COHR 是口腔中心的一个组成部分 健康研究 (COHR) 是牙科医学院的大学卓越研究中心 吸引医学院、研究生院其他学科和部门的教职人员和实习生 MUSC 的研究、药学和牙科医学、克莱姆森大学生物工程系、 以及 NCI 指定的 MUSC 霍林斯癌症中心。指导和培训活动按主题进行 分为 4 个战略研究重点领域：(i) 口腔传染病的分子和细胞生物学， (ii) 口腔咽癌生物学和癌症免疫学，(iii) 口腔和咽部的生物工程/生物力学 颅面复合体，以及（iv）颅面生长和发育。 T-COHR 受益于卓越的 行政支持和机构承诺为中心提供了持续的支持 口腔健康研究。将使用综合多年评估计划来衡量 T- COHR 的目的和目标得到满足。
