DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): There is a widely acknowledged national shortage of translationally trained young investigators, both Ph.D.s and M.D.s. To accomplish this goal, the Reproductive & Developmental Biology Training Program at the Massachusetts General Hospital selects strongly motivated candidates from a rich candidate pool; provides trainees with an intensive research experience in basic and/or clinical investigation; supports these efforts with a skilled and well-funded faculty engaged in important research questions; and complements this mentored research experience by a strong didactic experience in the underpinning sciences of genetics, reproductive and developmental biology and clinical investigation. Trainees are selected on the basis of prior academic and research accomplishments; a strong future commitment to an academic career; and a personal interview indicating their motivation and future potential as independent investigators. The PI (Dr. Crowley) is a Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, Director of the Harvard Reproductive Endocrine Sciences Center, an established scientist and recognized mentor who governs in conjunction with Dr. Patricia Donahoe, a highly qualified senior scientist, who serves as Co-Director. The training faculty consists of active, well-funded scientists whose expertise lines the full spectrum of reproductive and developmental research from fundamental developmental biology to bench-to-bedside investigations. The training faculty has been expanded in this proposal to reflect and take appropriate advantage of the new tools and opportunities that are redefining translational research. Each trainee is closely supervised by an active yet individualized mentorship program overseen by a senior faculty member. An extensive and rigorous didactic program interlaces tightly with their strong, independent laboratory programs and compliments the trainees' 2-3 years of research experience (90%effort). The training period often involves additional years as junior faculty to ensure maximal competitiveness for subsequent independent support, the ultimate goal of this Training Program. Research facilities are spacious and fully equipped with recently modernized laboratory and clinical research space dedicated to the training faculty of this grant. The institutional environment is superb and the reinforcement from the Reproductive Endocrine Sciences Centers programs is substantial. This institutional training grant represents a critical stabilizing element in these programs and is a critical link that enables talented trainees to achieve subsequent independent careers in Reproduction and Developmental Biology.

描述（由申请人提供）：众所周知，全国范围内缺乏经过翻译培训的年轻研究人员，包括博士和医学博士。为了实现这一目标，马萨诸塞州总医院的生殖与发育生物学培训项目从丰富的候选人库中选择了积极主动的候选人；为学员提供基础和/或临床研究方面的深入研究经验；通过从事重要研究问题的技术精湛且资金充足的教师队伍来支持这些努力；并通过遗传学、生殖和发育生物学以及临床研究等基础科学方面的强大教学经验来补充这种指导性研究经验。根据先前的学术和研究成果选择学员；对未来学术生涯的坚定承诺；以及个人访谈，表明他们作为独立调查员的动机和未来潜力。 PI（Crowley 博士）是哈佛医学院的医学教授、哈佛生殖内分泌科学中心主任、一位知名科学家和公认的导师，与一位高素质的资深科学家 Patricia Donahoe 博士共同管理。作为联合导演。培训师资队伍由活跃、资金充足的科学家组成，他们的专业知识涉及从基础发育生物学到实验室研究的全方位生殖和发育研究。本提案扩大了培训师资队伍，以反映并适当利用正在重新定义转化研究的新工具和机会。每个学员都受到由高级教员监督的积极而个性化的指导计划的密切监督。广泛而严格的教学计划与其强大、独立的实验室计划紧密结合，并补充了学员 2-3 年的研究经验（90% 的努力）。培训期间通常需要额外担任初级教师几年，以确保后续独立支持的最大竞争力，这是该培训计划的最终目标。研究设施宽敞且设备齐全，拥有最近现代化的实验室和临床研究空间，专门用于培训该资助的教师。机构环境优越，生殖内分泌科学中心项目的强化力度很大。该机构培训补助金代表了这些计划的关键稳定因素，也是使有才华的学员能够在生殖和发育生物学领域实现后续独立职业生涯的关键环节。
