This purpose of this application, building on 25 years of research training success, is to provide a variety of complementary training opportunities in dental and craniofacial health research at the U. of Iowa to develop a cohort of dental scholars whose research skills will meet the challenges of oral health research for the 21st century. The aims are to: 1) provide outstanding interdisciplinary didactic training; 2) provide rigorous research mentoring experiences involving ongoing review and critique; and 3) prepare post-doctoral trainees for academic careers in oral health research. The proposed program has a major focus on dental graduates, but recognizes that basic scientists also play important roles in oral health research; thus, it will also offer training opportunities for non-dentists. An R90 component reflects the increasingly important role that non-citizen dentists have, and will continue to have, in our oral health research programs. The research areas in which training is offered reflect the strengths of the College of Dentistry, the health science colleges, and other colleges at the University of Iowa, and range across the full translational spectrum from biomaterials and tissue engineering to oral mucosal disease and from caries and fluoride research to craniofacial genetics and Health Services Research. Specifically, we propose to offer training for dentists and non-dentists to pursue a PhD in Oral Sciences (or in the interdisciplinary Genetics Program, or in the Molecular and Cellular Biology Program, as appropriate), or to pursue post-doctoral training. In addition, there will be an opportunity to obtain a Certificate in Translational and Clinical Investigation under the auspices of the University's Institute for Clinical and Translational Sciences (CTSA). A group of 35 experienced and talented program faculty from a variety of disciplines is available to mentor trainees. Training will be supervised by an experienced Director and Associate Director, assisted by a Faculty Leadership team. There will be internal and external advisory committees and a Committee on Recruitment and Diversity-to assist with recruitment and support of under-represented minorities. In summary, the program brings together productive, well-funded mentors, with pre- and post-doctoral trainees in an environment with strong institutional commitment to developing outstanding interdisciplinary research training, a fine institutional record of training in relevant disciplines, and excellent educational and research facilities. The outcome will be the development of a cadre of oral health researchers equipped to function at the cutting edge of their disciplines.

在25年的研究培训成功的基础上，这一应用程序的这一目的是为爱荷华州美国的牙科和颅面健康研究提供各种互补的培训机会，以开发一系列牙科学者，其研究技能将满足21世纪口腔健康研究的挑战。目的是：1）提供出色的跨学科教学培训； 2）提供涉及持续审查和批评的严格研究指导经验； 3）为口腔健康研究的学术职业准备博士后学员。 拟议的计划主要关注牙科毕业生，但认识到基础科学家在口腔健康研究中也起着重要作用。因此，它还将为非婚姻者提供培训机会。 R90组件反映了非公民牙医越来越重要的作用，并将继续在我们的口腔健康研究计划中发挥作用。提供培训的研究领域反映了牙科学院，健康科学学院以及爱荷华大学的其他学院的优势，以及从生物材料和组织工程学到口腔粘膜疾病，从龋齿和氟化物研究到颅面遗传学和卫生服务研究的完整转化谱。 具体而言，我们建议为牙医和非善良者提供培训，以在口腔科学（或跨学科遗传学计划，或分子和细胞生物学计划中）攻读博士学位，或进行后培训。此外，在该大学临床和转化科学研究所（CTSA）的主持下，将有机会获得转化和临床调查证书。指导学员可以使用来自各种学科的35个经验丰富且有才华的课程教师。培训将由经验丰富的董事和副主任监督，并由教师领导团队的协助。内部和外部咨询委员会以及招聘和多样性委员会将有助于招募和支持不足的少数民族。 总而言之，该计划汇集了富有成效的资助良好的导师，并在具有强烈的机构承诺的环境中，对发展出色的跨学科研究培训，相关学科的培训的良好机构记录以及出色的教育和研究设施，并具有强烈​​的机构承诺。结果将是开发一批口腔健康研究人员，能够在其学科的最前沿发挥作用。
