Abstract The proposed program is designed to train postdoctoral researchers in biomedical research in the area of rheumatic diseases. We are requesting 3 postdoctoral training slots (for MD, MD/PhD, MD/MPH, and/or PhD researchers in bench laboratory or clinical-translational investigation), and 2 slots for predoctoral students (for dual MD/PhD and/or single PhD students, all to be trained in basic-translational research in the UCSD/La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology (LJI) Biomedical sciences Program in Immunology). The training program will consist of a research experience typically of 24 months, and up to 36 months. Training is under close supervision of mentors collaboratively working on immunologic, molecular biologic, biochemical, and/or epidemiologic, health services, genetic, bioinformatic, and computational biologic problems relevant to the rheumatic diseases. Our emphasis is on recruiting and training new independent researchers to generate novel translational approaches and targeted therapies to rheumatic diseases, and to contribute to the pipeline of new leaders in Rheumatology research. Development of creative thinking, publication and presentation skills, along with inter-disciplinary team mentoring, and developing and improving faculty mentoring skills, are major features of the program. We will mesh complementary expertise and resources of more than one preceptor, tailored to individual trainees and research projects. All trainees are required to take courses in scientific ethics and scientific research methodology appropriate to their training and development. Other formal academic course work is encouraged for those carrying out basic research. MD trainees without an advanced degree in clinical research methodology are offered coursework to obtain a Master's Degree in Clinical Research (in the UCSD CTSA U54) or an MPH from the UCSD Department of Epidemiology. To help foster longstanding career commitment to research in subjects relevant to rheumatic diseases, all trainees will participate in Rheumatology research community-building, and San Diego community outreach. Non-MD trainees will take the medical school preclinical Rheumatology course, which includes encounters with patients. Trainees will be chosen on the basis of their prior academic performance, research career potential and experience, publications, interviews, and recommendations from supervisors. Preference is given to those with acknowledged research interests in rheumatologic and immunologic diseases, and demonstrated capacities in research. To address unmet needs, we will emphasize recruiting outstanding physician, MSTP, and URM student candidates. The primary training unit is the UCSD Rheumatology, Allergy and Immunology Division, UCSD. Additional training sites include UCSD and VA hospitals and clinics, the UCSD CTSA, and other UCSD Medicine Divisions and Departments, and labs at LJI and Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute. Program graduates will be primed to compete for academic positions as independent investigators in medical schools or research institutes, or as research scientists in industry.

抽象的 拟议的计划旨在培训该地区生物医学研究的博士后研究人员 风湿性疾病。我们要求3个博士后培训插槽（用于MD，MD/PHD，MD/MPH和/或 基准实验室或临床翻译研究中的博士研究人员）和2个插槽 （对于双重MD/PHD和/或单个博士学位学生 Jolla过敏和免疫学研究所（LJI）免疫学生物医学计划）。培训 计划将包括研究经验，通常为24个月，最多36个月。培训不足 对导师的密切监督，共同从事免疫，分子生物学，生化和/或 流行病学，卫生服务，遗传，生物信息学和计算生物学问题与 风湿病。我们的重点是招募和培训新的独立研究人员来产生 新颖的翻译方法和针对风湿性疾病的靶向疗法，并为管道做出贡献 风湿病研究的新领导者。创造性思维，出版和演讲的发展 技能，以及跨学科的团队指导，发展和提高教师指导技能， 是该程序的主要功能。我们将与多个的补充专业知识和资源相结合 主持人，针对个别学员和研究项目量身定制。所有学员都必须参加 科学伦理和科学研究方法适合其培训和发展。其他 鼓励进行基础研究的人进行正式的学术课程工作。 MD学员没有 提供临床研究方法的高级学位，以获得硕士学位 临床研究（在UCSD CTSA U54中）或UCSD流行病学系的MPH。提供帮助 培养长期以来对与风湿病有关的学科研究的职业承诺，所有受训者都将 参加风湿病研究社区建设和圣地亚哥社区外展。非MD 学员将参加医学院的临床前风湿病学课程，其中包括与患者的相遇。 将根据其先前的学业表现，研究职业潜力和 主管的经验，出版物，访谈和建议。偏爱那些 具有公认的风湿病和免疫疾病的研究兴趣，并证明了 研究能力。为了满足未满足的需求，我们将强调招募杰出的医师MSTP， 和URM学生候选人。主要培训单位是UCSD风湿病学，过敏和免疫学 UCSD部门。其他培训站点包括UCSD和VA医院和诊所，UCSD CTSA以及 其他UCSD医学部门和部门，以及LJI和Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical的实验室 发现研究所。课程毕业生将被准备以竞争独立的学术职位 医学院或研究机构的研究人员，或行业研究科学家。
