项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed training program will provide predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees with a solid academic background in immunology with emphasis on multi disciplinary approaches to study common mechanisms of inflammation. Training will include relevant course work, regularly scheduled seminars and journal clubs, and rigorous laboratory training with the goal of preparing our trainees for careers in research related to the goals of this program. Boston University has an outstanding group of faculty with long standing interests in inflammatory disorders who are members of the Boston University Training Program in Inflammatory Disorders (BU-TPID). In addition, recent recruitment efforts have resulted in the formation of a critical mass of established investigators and accordingly this application proposes to establish an integrated training program for predoctoral students and postdoctoral fellows in inflammatory disorders. In addition to their common research interests, many of these faculties already have substantial evidence for collaborative interactions including NIH support. Faculty research interests encompass three broad research areas including 1) Pathogen induced inflammation; 2) Chronic non-communicable inflammatory disorders; and 3) Therapeutics and preventative strategies. The BU-TPID Training Faculty all are current NIH grant recipients with funding from 10 NIH Institutes, and who, as a group have had substantial training history. As a whole this group enjoys national and international recognition in their respective fields. As part of this training grant the Core training faculty will also be involved in mentoring additional junior faculty members. The BU-TPID faculty represent a broad range of departmental affiliations, including the Departments of Medicine, Microbiology, Pathology, Physiology and Biophysics at the Boston University School of Medicine, the Department of Environmental Health at the Boston University School of Public Health, the Department of Oral Biology and Peridontology at the School of Dental Medicine and the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the Boston University College of Engineering. The major goals of the program will be to 1) Recruit and enroll students of the highest quality, including underrepresented minorities; 2) Provide these trainees with a multidisciplinary background in inflammatory disorders coupled with intensive laboratory training in a particular research topic; 3) To teach the trainees critical thinking skills and how to ask relevant and feasible research questions; 4) To instill these trainees with a sense of ethical behavior; 5) To help develop effective written and oral communication skills among the trainees; 6) To facilitate collaborative interactions among both trainees and faculty of the training program and 7) To mentor Junior faculty members in pre and post doctoral training.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的培训计划将为博士前和博士后学员提供扎实的免疫学学术背景，重点是多学科方法来研究炎症的常见机制。培训将包括相关课程、定期举办的研讨会和期刊俱乐部以及严格的实验室培训，目的是让我们的学员为与该计划目标相关的研究职业做好准备。波士顿大学拥有一支对炎症性疾病长期感兴趣的优秀教师团队，他们是波士顿大学炎症性疾病培训计划 (BU-TPID) 的成员。此外，最近的招募工作已经形成了足够数量的既定研究人员，因此本申请建议为炎症性疾病领域的博士前学生和博士后研究员建立一个综合培训计划。除了共同的研究兴趣外，这些院系中的许多人已经拥有包括 NIH 支持在内的合作互动的实质性证据。教师的研究兴趣涵盖三个广泛的研究领域，包括1）病原体引起的炎症； 2）慢性非传染性炎症性疾病； 3) 治疗和预防策略。 BU-TPID 培训教师目前都是 NIH 拨款获得者，由 10 个 NIH 研究所提供资助，作为一个整体，他们拥有丰富的培训历史。总体而言，该团队在各自领域享有国内和国际认可。作为培训补助金的一部分，核心培训教师还将参与指导其他初级教师。 BU-TPID 的教师代表了广泛的院系，包括波士顿大学医学院的医学系、微生物学系、病理学系、生理学系和生物物理学系、波士顿大学公共卫生学院的环境卫生系、波士顿大学工程学院牙科医学院和生物医学工程系口腔生物学和牙周学博士。该计划的主要目标是 1) 招收和招收最高质量的学生，包括代表性不足的少数族裔； 2) 为这些学员提供炎症性疾病的多学科背景以及特定研究主题的强化实验室培训； 3）教授学员批判性思维技巧以及如何提出相关且可行的研究问题； 4）向学员灌输道德行为意识； 5）帮助学员培养有效的书面和口头沟通技巧； 6) 促进培训计划的学员和教师之间的协作互动； 7) 指导初级教师进行博士前和博士后培训。
