DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is a competing continuation of Forsyth's currently funded Kirschstein-NRSA T32 training award entitled "Postdoctoral Training Program in Oral Health Research". This program is targeted to dentists and PhDs who desire a postdoctoral experience in basic, clinical or patient-oriented oral health research. Specific training opportunities are available in Craniofacial Development/Biomineralization, Immunobiology, Oral Microbial-Host Interactions, and Clinical Investigation. Linkage of projects between focus areas, especially between Clinical Investigation and other focus areas will be encouraged. Mentors have outstanding records of published research consistent with the NIDR mission, are well-supported by NIH (PI or Co-l on average of 3.4 funded research grants) and have appreciable experience in postdoctoral education. Extensive collaborative and multidisciplinary interactions are characteristic of mentors' research. These multidisciplinary/collaborative research efforts of mentors will provide trainees with examples of such interactions, and should also serve as a springboard for the trainee to initiate similar collaborative research interactions. Enhancements to the postdoctoral research experience will include semester-long courses in clinical research design, oral health targeted courses in Immunology, Infectious Disease, and Developmental Biology, and a newly developed course in Scientific Integrity developed for the current T32 program (required). Training in research use of the Web and bioinformatic tools is also offered, together with formal workshops and informal guidance in grantsmanship and Career Development. Trainees will take active roles in the Forsyth Seminar Series, Oral Biology colloquia, departmental journal clubs, and a postdoctoral research group. Leadership awareness and training will be facilitated by postdoctoral trainee mentoring of Boston high school and Harvard dental students in summer research projects. Several strategies will be used to recruit trainees including candidates from underrepresented racial/ethnic groups who will be specifically encouraged. Our goal is to provide training experiences that will position trainees to be principal investigators who can successfully compete for research funds, who effectively communicate their ideas both orally and in written form, who recognize the value of collaborative and multidisciplinary research, and who uphold the highest standards in scientific integrity.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案是 Forsyth 目前资助的 Kirschstein-NRSA T32 培训奖的竞争延续，题为“口腔健康研究博士后培训计划”。该项目面向那些希望在基础、临床或以患者为导向的口腔健康研究方面获得博士后经验的牙医和博士。在颅面发育/生物矿化、免疫生物学、口腔微生物与宿主相互作用和临床研究方面提供具体的培训机会。将鼓励重点领域之间的项目联系，特别是临床研究与其他重点领域之间的项目联系。导师拥有与 NIDR 使命一致的已发表研究的杰出记录，得到 NIH 的大力支持（PI 或 Co-l 平均资助 3.4 项研究资助），并在博士后教育方面拥有丰富的经验。广泛的合作和多学科互动是导师研究的特点。导师的这些多学科/协作研究工作将为学员提供此类互动的例子，并且还应作为学员发起类似协作研究互动的跳板。博士后研究经验的增强将包括为期一个学期的临床研究设计课程、免疫学、传染病和发育生物学方面的口腔健康针对性课程，以及为当前 T32 项目开发的新开发的科学诚信课程（必需）。还提供网络和生物信息学工具的研究使用培训，以及资助和职业发展方面的正式研讨会和非正式指导。学员将在福赛斯研讨会系列、口腔生物学座谈会、系期刊俱乐部和博士后研究小组中发挥积极作用。在夏季研究项目中对波士顿高中和哈佛大学牙科学生的博士后实习生指导将促进领导意识和培训。将采用多种策略来招募学员，包括来自代表性不足的种族/族裔群体的候选人，他们将受到特别鼓励。我们的目标是提供培训经验，使学员成为能够成功竞争研究基金的主要研究者，能够以口头和书面形式有效地传达自己的想法，认识到合作和多学科研究的价值，并坚持最高的科学诚信标准。
