This is a proposal for the continuation of the Institutional Training Program in Skeletal, Craniofacial and Oral Biology at the University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine as a T90/R90 program. It is intended to help meet the substantial need for independent scientists trained in research related to improving oral, dental and craniofacial health in the United States. The program has trained and will continue to train dental scholars to meet the growing needs of academic dentistry, who are competent as clinicians and independent scientists, who are able to initiate and maintain funded research programs, who understand multidisciplinary research and who are prepared for the evolution of their research into new directions. Areas of research training include skeletal biology, stem cell biology, regenerative medicine, oral and craniofacial biology and clinical and translational research. The major tracks of the training program are the DMD/PhD (7-8 yrs of training with 5 years of support from this training grant; 4 present trainees; 7 additional trainees requested), PhD (4-5 yrs of training with 3 years of support; 4 present trainees; 5 additional trainees requested), postdoctoral research (3 yrs; 4 present trainees; 6 additional trainees requested) and non-citizen PhD trainees (with DDS degrees) (4-5 years of training with 3-5 years of support; 0 present trainees; 2 additional trainees requested). We will be training individuals with a broad range of backgrounds, including those with BS/BA degrees to those who have completed PhD and/or dental residency training. To provide a solid, common foundation for our scholars/trainees, we have developed Core Activities required of all trainees in all training tracks. In addition to providing important training elements, the Core Activities provide opportunities for both formal and informal interactions between trainees in various disciplines and at various stages in their training. We are introducing several new program features to (i) insure training milestones are achieved, (ii) facilitate preparation of F and K awards by trainees and (iii) better integrate clinical and research training for our DMD/PhDs to enhance transition into an academic career. The Health Center has a dynamic group of faculty in Skeletal, Craniofacial and Oral Biology, with highly successful collaborations among faculty throughout the Schools of Dental Medicine and Medicine. The Biomedical Science PhD program graduate faculty and active institutional research centers and clinical signature programs provide laboratory, translational and patient oriented research opportunities that enable a diversified training environment for the program tracks, allow flexibility for the individual needs of trainees, and ensure successful progress through the tracks. The institution has vigorous trainee recruitment programs; several are directed towards under-represented minority candidates. We will continue to provide training that is tailored to each candidate, while maintaining a focus on skeletal, craniofacial and oral biology through symposia, seminars, courses, clinical research centers and collaborative research activities which are integrated both within individual tracks and amongst all the tracks of the program.

这是关于继续骨骼、颅面和口腔机构培训计划的提案 康涅狄格大学牙科医学院的生物学作为 T90/R90 课程。其目的是帮助 满足对接受过与改善口腔、牙科和口腔相关研究相关培训的独立科学家的巨大需求 美国的颅面健康。该计划已经并将继续培训牙科学者 满足学术牙科日益增长的需求，他们有能力成为临床医生和独立科学家， 谁能够启动和维持资助的研究项目，谁了解多学科研究 以及谁准备好将他们的研究发展到新的方向。研究培训领域包括 骨骼生物学、干细胞生物学、再生医学、口腔和颅面生物学以及临床和 转化研究。培训计划的主要方向是 DMD/PhD（7-8 年的培训，其中 5 这项培训补助金的多年支持；现有学员4名；要求额外 7 名实习生），博士（4-5 年 3 年支持培训；现有学员4名；要求增加 5 名实习生），博士后研究（3 年；现有学员4名；要求增加 6 名实习生）和非公民博士实习生（具有 DDS 学位）（4-5 多年的培训和 3-5 年的支持；现有学员0人；要求增加 2 名学员）。我们将会 培训具有广泛背景的个人，包括拥有 BS/BA 学位的人 完成博士和/或牙科住院医师培训。为我们的合作提供坚实、共同的基础 学者/学员，我们制定了所有培训课程中所有学员所需的核心活动。此外 核心活动提供了重要的培训要素，为正式和非正式的培训提供了机会 不同学科和培训不同阶段的学员之间的互动。我们正在介绍 几个新的计划功能，以 (i) 确保实现培训里程碑，(ii) 促进 F 和 K 的准备 (iii) 更好地整合我们的 DMD/PhD 的临床和研究培训，以提高 过渡到学术生涯。健康中心拥有一支充满活力的骨骼、颅面科教职人员团队 和口腔生物学，整个牙科学院的教师之间进行了非常成功的合作 医学与医学。生物医学科学博士项目研究生院系和活跃机构 研究中心和临床标志项目提供实验室、转化和以患者为导向的研究 为项目轨道提供多样化培训环境的机会，为项目提供灵活性 学员的个性化需求，并确保顺利通过课程。该机构具有蓬勃的 实习生招聘计划；其中一些是针对代表性不足的少数族裔候选人。我们将 继续提供针对每位候选人的培训，同时保持对骨骼、颅面的关注 通过专题讨论会、研讨会、课程、临床研究中心和合作研究来研究口腔生物学 这些活动既集成在单个轨道中，也集成在计划的所有轨道中。
