DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application seeks renewal of support for an interdisciplinary program of training in pain research at the University of Iowa. The Program has been highly successful in terms of increasing collaborations among trainers and mentoring pre- and postdoctoral trainees of exemplary quality to independent funding. The program will continue its focus on the cellular, molecular, pharmacological, physiological and anatomical mechanisms that subserve acute and chronic pain after injury. The 18 program faculty are NIH-funded investigators with complementary expertise in the fields of molecular, cellular and systems neurobiology. The trainers comprise a balanced representation of basic and physician scientists, as well as bench and patient-based research. Each trainer has a strong record of training both predoctoral and postdoctoral fellows and will also mentor a subset of junior trainers of great promise. Support is requested for two pre-doctoral trainees and two postdoctoral trainees for this award period. In line with our goal to facilitate translational research, the postdoctoral positions will be primarily targeted for M.D., M.D. Ph. D., R. N. Ph. D., P. T. Ph. D. or D. P. T. trainees. These individuals will particularly benefit from a period of protected time to learn the elements of research and/or to restart their research programs in advance of a faculty level appointment. A cadre of nurse scientists with established clinical and translational research programs in pain has been recruited to strengthen translational aspects of the training program. The training program provides a highly structured and diverse program of didactic coursework, including monthly seminars, weekly journal clubs and bi-weekly work - in - progress meetings, that is coupled with research training in a highly collaborative and interactive environment. All courses, as well as mechanisms of interaction and trainee evaluation are established. The overall goal of the training program is to provide our trainees with (1) an individualized curriculum that provide a solid knowledge base appropriate to their career plans; (2) rigorous training in the selements of scientific investigation including the formulation of research hypotheses, experimental design and analysis; (3) mastery of two to three research techniques; (4) opportunities to develop their verbal communication skills; (5) experience in the construction of manuscripts and grant proposals; and (6) the ability to interact and collaborate with basic and clinical investigators both within and outside the instition who are actively engaged in research. Trainees in this program will acquire the knowledge, experience, and skill sets necessary for successful transition to an independent research career in academia, industry of government.

描述（由申请人提供）： 该申请寻求续签爱荷华大学疼痛研究培训的跨学科培训计划。 该计划在增加培训师之间的合作以及指导示例性质量的典范学员到独立资金方面取得了成功。 该计划将继续关注细胞，分子，药理，生理和解剖机制，这些机制可在受伤后遇到急性和慢性疼痛。 18个计划教师是NIH资助的研究人员，在分子，细胞和系统神经生物学领域具有互补的专业知识。 培训师包括基础和医师科学家的平衡表示，以及基于患者的研究。 每个教练都有良好的培训记录，既有训练前者和博士后研究员，也将指导一部分具有良好前途的初级教练。 在此奖项期间，请求支持两名博士前学员和两名博士后学员。 符合我们促进转化研究的目标，博士后职位将主要针对M.D.，M.D。D. D.，R。N.Ph。D.，P。T. D. D. D. D.或D. P. T.受训者。 这些人将特别受益于一段受保护的时间，以学习研究的要素和/或在教师任命之前重新启动其研究计划。 已经招募了一群具有疼痛临床和转化研究计划的护士科学家的干部，以加强培训计划的翻译方面。 该培训计划提供了一项高度结构化和多样化的教学课程计划，包括每月研讨会，每周期刊俱乐部和每两周工作 - 进度会议，再加上在高度协作和互动环境中的研究培训。 建立了所有课程，以及互动和学员评估的机制。 培训计划的总体目标是为学员提供（1）个性化课程，提供适合其职业计划的可靠知识基础； （2）对科学研究的严格培训，包括研究假设的制定，实验设计和分析； （3）掌握两到三种研究技术； （4）发展其口头交流技能的机会； （5）在构建手稿和赠款建议方面的经验； （6）能够与积极从事研究的工厂内外与基本和临床研究人员进行互动和合作。 该计划的学员将获得成功过渡到政府行业学术界独立研究职业所必需的知识，经验和技能。
