DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application seeks 5-year support for an NIDCR-Institutional Training Award for a Dental and Craniofacial Research Workforce (T90/R90) to the UCLA School of Dentistry. The UCLA School of Dentistry is a research-intensive and research-committed institution with a long tradition and commitment to educate dental student, graduate dentists, and other graduate and professional students in oral, dental and craniofacial sciences. The objective of this application is to build on the strengths of our current T32 and other career development and research training programs and focus on the mission to provide rigorous research training and career development to produce "research-committed dentist-scientists and oral health-researchers". Based on our collective experience, we have configured an integrative training program for dentists who are committed to research careers in oral health. The program takes an integrative systemic and interlocked approach providing full spectrum flexibility at all stages of career development for the dentist-scientist. The foundational core value of the program is to develop research-focused and research-committed dentist- scientist and oral health-scientist faculty that can compete successfully for NIH funding. PhD-level research training and a two to three year dedicated full time postdoctoral research training experience is mandatory. Dentist scientists and oral health researchers matriculated from our program will be "dental school ready" and poised for transition to scientific independence and be competitive for research funding in the NIH environment. Research training will be centered on four areas of scientific strengths at the UCLA School of Dentistry: (1) Oral Cancer & Cancer Biology, (2) Bone Biology & Tissue Engineering, (3) Infectious Diseases and (4) Stem Cell & Regenerative Medicine. An interdisciplinary program links trainees to mentors at the School of Dentistry, Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, Molecular Biology Institute, Stem Cell Institute, California NanoSystem Institute, School of Engineering School, School of Medicine, and the School of Public Health. The pool of applicants is diverse, including foreign-trained dentists, encompassing the following five training tracks: (1) DDS/PhD (DSTP); (2) Dentists pursuing PhD; (3) Dentists pursuing postdoctoral research training; (4) PhD; (5) PhD postdocs. The training program will be administered by the Program Director, Associate Directors, Steering Committee, a full-time coordinator and an Advisory Committee.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请寻求向加州大学洛杉矶分校牙科学院提供为期 5 年的 NIDCR 牙科和颅面研究人员机构培训奖 (T90/R90) 支持。加州大学洛杉矶分校牙科学院是一所研究密集型、致力于研究的机构，具有悠久的传统并致力于教育牙科学生、研究生牙医以及口腔、牙科和颅面科学领域的其他研究生和专业学生。此应用程序的目标是建立在我们当前的 T32 和其他职业发展和研究培训计划的优势之上，并专注于提供严格的研究培训和职业发展的使命，以培养“致力于研究的牙医科学家和口腔健康研究人员” ”。根据我们的集体经验，我们为致力于口腔健康研究事业的牙医配置了综合培训计划。该计划采用综合系统和连锁方法，为牙医科学家职业发展的各个阶段提供全方位的灵活性。该计划的基本核心价值是培养以研究为中心、致力于研究的牙医科学家和口腔健康科学家教师，使他们能够成功竞争 NIH 的资助。博士级研究培训和两到三年的全职全职博士后研究培训经验是强制性的。从我们的项目中录取的牙医科学家和口腔健康研究人员将“为牙科学校做好准备”，并准备向科学独立过渡，并在 NIH 环境中竞争研究经费。研究培训将集中于加州大学洛杉矶分校牙科学院的四个科学优势领域：(1) 口腔癌和癌症生物学、(2) 骨生物学和组织工程、(3) 传染病和 (4) 干细胞和再生医学。一个跨学科项目将学员与牙科学院、琼森综合癌症中心、分子生物学研究所、干细胞研究所、加州纳米系统研究所、工程学院、医学院和公共卫生学院的导师联系起来。申请者群体多元化，包括国外培训的牙医，涵盖以下五个培训方向：（1）DDS/PhD（DSTP）； (2) 攻读博士学位的牙医； （三）从事博士后研究训练的牙医； (4) 博士学位； （5）博士后。培训计划将由项目总监、副总监、指导委员会、全职协调员和咨询委员会负责管理。
