Abstract This application is for renewal of the T32 comprehensive institutional research-training grant COSTAR (Craniofacial Oral-Biology Student Training in Academic Research). Building on longstanding institutional research training experience, COSTAR has trained 26 DDS/PhD students, 41 PhD students, 26 Post-doctoral Fellows, 4 faculty fellows, and 147 summer dental student research fellows since first funded in 2002. Our outcome measures since 2002 indicate an outstanding training environment, as documented by publication of 314 peer reviewed papers by trainees, including Nature and PNAS, and 41 trainees (67%) receiving and transferring to individual NIH awards (F30, F31, F32, K08, K23, or R21) or equivalent fellowships. Our tracking of former advanced degree COSTAR trainees, graduates, and fellows shows an exemplary rate (82%) of retention in research settings, including academic or scientist positions or continued postdoctoral research training. The COSTAR program has made great strides in promoting diversity with recruitment of 44% underrepresented minority and 73% women trainees. Based upon these objective measures of success and our continual self-assessment process, we propose a renewal for an additional five-year period of support. Our focused goal remains devoted to train a cadre of highly skilled, interactive scientists who can successfully address the new opportunities in dental, oral, and craniofacial research and become a part of the future academic faculty in US dental schools. The COSTAR program will offer three integrated training tracks: 1) DDS/PhD program, 2) PhD program, and 3) Basic or Clinical-translational Postdoctoral research fellowships. These three training tracks are provided in three integrated thematic areas by a highly selected, research intensive, and collaborative, Program Faculty representing the best mentors across the Dental, Medical, and Graduate Schools at UTHSCSA, and united by their shared interest in Craniofacial Oral Biology research. Thus, COSTAR serves as a strong institutional nexus for an exceptional multi- and inter- disciplinary research and training environment further enhancing the institutional infrastructure for research in Craniofacial Oral Biology. Highly motivated and dedicated students and fellows who are selected for research training in the COSTAR program will participate in a series of COSTAR core courses and experiences that are integrated with programs across the Dental School and the campus at large. Importantly, COSTAR-sponsored activities yield a strong programmatic identity, collaboration, and networking among trainees. Trainee development towards research independence and future success in academic research will be encouraged by successful submission of applications for individual awards. By formally developing, a tracking and analyzing plan focused on continuously improving our training program, the COSTAR Leadership Council and Advisory Boards provide an optimal environment for research training of new scientists in Craniofacial Oral Biology following the tradition of our long-tem success in academia of former trainees at the UTHSCSA.

抽象的 本申请用于续签 T32 综合机构研究培训补助金 COSTAR（颅面口腔生物学学生学术研究培训）。建立在 长期机构研究培训经验，COSTAR已培训26名DDS/PhD 学生、41 名博士生、26 名博士后研究员、4 名教员和 147 名暑期牙科人员 学生研究员自 2002 年首次资助以来。我们自 2002 年以来的成果衡量表明 杰出的培训环境，已发表 314 篇同行评审论文 包括 Nature 和 PNAS 在内的受训者，以及 41 名受训者 (67%) 接受并转学到 NIH 个人奖项（F30、F31、F32、K08、K23 或 R21）或同等奖学金。我们的追踪 前高级学位 COSTAR 学员、毕业生和研究员的比例堪称典范 (82%) 保留在研究环境中，包括学术或科学家职位或继续 博士后研究培训。 COSTAR 计划在促进 多元化，招募了 44% 代表性不足的少数族裔学员和 73% 的女性学员。基于 根据这些客观的成功衡量标准和我们持续的自我评估过程，我们 提议续签额外五年的支持期。我们的重点目标仍然是 致力于培养一支高技能、互动的科学家队伍，他们能够成功地解决这一问题 牙科、口腔和颅面研究的新机遇并成为未来的一部分 美国牙科学校的学术教师。 COSTAR 计划将提供三项综合培训 曲目： 1) DDS/博士项目，2) 博士项目，以及 3) 基础或临床转化博士后 研究奖学金。这三个培训课程分为三个综合主题领域 由精心挑选的、研究密集型和协作性的项目教师代表 UTHSCSA 牙科、医学院和研究生院的最佳导师，并由 他们对颅面口腔生物学研究有着共同的兴趣。 因此，COSTAR 是一个强大的机构纽带，可实现特殊的多边和国际合作。 学科研究和培训环境进一步增强机构基础设施 用于颅面口腔生物学研究。积极主动、专注的学生和研究员 被选中参加 COSTAR 计划研究培训的人员将参加一系列 COSTAR 核心课程和经验与整个牙科项目相结合 学校和整个校园。重要的是，COSTAR 赞助的活动产生了强大的影响力 受训者之间的程序化身份、协作和网络。实习生发展 迈向研究独立和未来学术研究的成功将受到鼓励 成功提交个人奖项申请。通过正式开发，跟踪 并分析计划，重点是不断改进我们的培训计划 COSTAR 领导委员会和顾问委员会为研究培训提供了最佳环境 颅面口腔生物学领域的新科学家继承了我们长期成功的传统 UTHSCSA 前学员的学术界。
