ABSTRACT We will establish a new Pittsburgh Craniofacial Sciences Training Program (PCSTP) at the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine (Pitt Dental) to train and mentor a new generation of leaders in Dental Oral and Craniofacial (DOC) sciences. Our goal is to address the critical shortage of craniofacial biologists nationwide through the PCSTP. Pitt Dental is an ideal academic setting for a high-caliber program, including strong institutional investment in internationally recognized research programs in craniofacial genetics and regenerative medicine. Indeed, Pitt Dental has ranked in the top 10 dental schools receiving NIDCR funding each of the past 6 years, while the University has ranked 6th or higher nationally in total NIH funding for more than a decade. Concerted efforts to grow the research enterprise at Pitt Dental over the last 15 years led to a doubling in the number of accomplished research faculty and the completion of a new state-of-the-art research tower in 2015. The thriving Pitt Dental research ecosystem is multi- and interdisciplinary and team-based. Our current oral and craniofacial sciences trainees work alongside PhD students from the Departments of Bioengineering (School of Engineering) and Human Genetics (Graduate School of Public Health), all of whom identify themselves as craniofacial scientists. Pitt Dental leadership fully recognizes the strategic importance of our program and has committed significant resources in personnel and support for the students in the PCSTP. The PCSTP will be administered and managed in the Department of Oral and Craniofacial Sciences, with additional faculty from other Pitt Dental or University departments (primarily Prosthodontics, Human Genetics, and Bioengineering). Trainees will be admitted to the Oral and Craniofacial Sciences PhD program, and following the completion of their first year (supported by Pitt Dental), the strongest students will be considered for acceptance into the PCSTP. Postdoctoral trainees can apply to participate in either the conventional postdoctoral training or enroll in the PhD program for individuals holding a DDS/DMD. Finally, the R90 component will provide opportunities for individuals with foreign DDS/DMD degrees to participate. The PCSTP provides courses, research experiences, seminar series, journal clubs, an annual symposium, and an annual retreat (for PCSTP trainees and faculty only) and will leverage University resources, such as training in artificial intelligence, data science and the responsible conduct of research (RCR) and in methods to enhance reproducibility. Our trainees will benefit from a wealth of mentors, seminars, conferences, shared facilities, intramural pilot awards, and specialized training and experiences available through hundreds of laboratories and clinics across the six schools of the health sciences and the Pitt Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute (including its RCR Center and Institute for Clinical Research Education).

抽象的 我们将在大学建立新的匹兹堡颅面科学培训计划（PCSTP） 匹兹堡牙科医学学院（皮特牙科）培训和指导牙科的新一代领导者 口腔和颅面（DOC）科学。我们的目标是解决颅面的严重短缺 全国通过PCSTP的生物学家。皮特牙科是高素质的理想学术环境 计划，包括对国际认可的研究计划的大量机构投资 颅面遗传学和再生医学。确实，皮特牙科在十大牙科学校中排名 在过去的6年中，每年都获得NIDCR资金，而大学在全国排名第六或更高 十多年来的NIH总资金。在皮特牙科发展研究企业的一致努力 过去的15年导致成熟的研究学院数量增加了一倍，并完成了新的。 2015年最先进的研究塔。蓬勃发展的皮特牙科研究生态系统是多和 跨学科和基于团队。我们目前的口腔和颅面科学学员与博士一起工作 来自生物工程（工程学院）和人类遗传学（研究生）的学生 公共卫生学院），所有人都认为自己是颅面科学家。皮特牙科领导完全 认识我们计划的战略重要性，并在人员中投入了大量资源， 支持PCSTP中的学生。 PCSTP将在部门管理和管理 口腔和颅面科学，还有其他皮特牙科或大学系的额外教师 （主要是修理术，人类遗传学和生物工程）。学员将被录取到口头 颅面科学博士学位课程，并在第一年完成（由皮特牙科支持）之后， 最强大的学生将被考虑接受PCSTP。博士后学员可以申请 参加常规的博士后培训或参加博士学位计划 DDS/DMD。最后，R90组件将为外国DDS/DMD的个人提供机会 参加学位。 PCSTP提供课程，研究经验，研讨会系列，期刊俱乐部， 年度研讨会和年度务虚会（仅适用于PCSTP受训者和教职员工），并将利用大学 资源，例如人工智能，数据科学和负责任的研究培训 （RCR）和提高可重复性的方法。我们的学员将受益于大量导师，研讨会， 会议，共享设施，壁内飞行员奖，以及可用的专业培训和经验 通过六所健康科学学校和皮特临床的数百家实验室和诊所 和翻译科学研究所（包括其RCR中心和临床研究教育研究所）。
