PROJECT SUMMARY / ABSTRACT This is a new application for a K12 grant that supports the Buffalo Oral-Research and Specialty Training (BORST) Program, an integrated research training program based in the School of Dental Medicine at the University at Buffalo (UB). The overarching objective of BORST is to foster the development of dental specialist-scientist scholars focused on oral, dental and craniofacial research. To accomplish this goal, BORST offers mentored, interdisciplinary research training opportunities in oral health, craniofacial biology and bioengineering. BORST 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 K12 application, we are requesting support for dentists to engage in clinical specialty training and PhD research training for dentist-scientists in basic, translational or bioengineering sciences important to dental, oral or craniofacial health. BORST is an integral part of the School of Dental Medicine that engages faculty and trainees/scholars in other disciplines and departments in the School of Medicine and Bioengineering at UB. Mentoring and career development activities are thematically grouped into 5 strategic areas of research focus: (i) immunology and innate defenses, (ii) relationship of oral pathogens to systemic disease, (iii) saliva and salivary glands, (iv) microbial pathogenesis of oral organisms, and (v) bone and connective tissues/tissue engineering. BORST benefits from outstanding and time-tested administrative support systems and institutional commitment that will provide continued support to the Department of Oral Biology. The BORST Program will support two postdoctoral scholars over the award period who will engage this combined career development program. The goal for the BORST Program is to provide early career development for talented dentists who wish to pursue research and academic careers as dental specialists with a PhD. An integrated, multi-year evaluation plan will be used to measure the extent to which BORST goals and objectives are met. The resulting scholars will be well prepared to engage in meaningful basic and/or translational oral health research.

项目概要/摘要 这是 K12 补助金的新申请，支持布法罗口腔研究和专业培训 (BORST) 计划，这是一项以牙医学院为基础的综合研究培训计划 布法罗大学 (UB)。 BORST 的总体目标是促进牙科的发展 专注于口腔、牙科和颅面研究的专家科学家学者。为了实现这一目标，BORST 提供口腔健康、颅面生物学和口腔健康方面的指导性跨学科研究培训机会 生物工程。 BORST 以综合性的方式提供强大的课程和主题研究经验 强调指导、科学进步、学术职业发展、资助、 和生产力。对于此 K12 申请，我们请求支持牙医从事临床专业 为牙医科学家提供基础科学、转化科学或生物工程科学方面的培训和博士研究培训 对牙齿、口腔或颅面健康很重要。 BORST 是牙科医学院的一个组成部分， 吸引医学院其他学科和部门的教职人员和实习生/学者， 布法罗大学生物工程专业。指导和职业发展活动按主题分为 5 个战略 研究重点领域：（i）免疫学和先天防御，（ii）口腔病原体与全身的关系 疾病，(iii) 唾液和唾液腺，(iv) 口腔生物的微生物发病机制，以及 (v) 骨和 结缔组织/组织工程。 BORST 受益于出色且经过时间考验的管理 支持系统和机构承诺将为口腔科提供持续支持 生物学。 BORST 计划将在奖励期内支持两名博士后学者，他们将参与 这个综合职业发展计划。 BORST 计划的目标是提供早期职业生涯 为希望作为牙科专家从事研究和学术职业的有才华的牙医提供发展机会 拥有博士学位。将使用综合的多年评估计划来衡量 BORST 目标的实现程度 并达到目标。由此产生的学者将做好充分准备，从事有意义的基础和/或 口腔健康转化研究。
