DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The National Bone and Joint Decade, 2002-2011, envisions a series of initiatives among physicians, health professionals, patients, and communities, working together to promote research and development into therapies, preventative measures, and cures for the rheumatic diseases. This comes at a time when there is a growing concern that the number of newly trained academic scientists equipped to make major advances and to assume leadership roles will be inadequate. Accordingly, the Fellowship Training Program in Rheumatology and Clinical Immunogenetics represents a cooperative effort of accomplished faculty from the academic components of the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston and the Texas Children's Hospital to provide to outstanding, academically pre-and postdoctoral fellows intensive basic or clinical research training in rheumatology, genetics and health services research. A productive and collaborative group of senior scientists and physician-scientists with complementary interests and a demonstrated commitment to mentorship and training will serve as mentoring faculty to two predoctoral and four postdoctoral fellows. The faculty laboratories offer research experience in important areas of rheumatology, genetics and molecular biology. The program provides training and didactic instruction in fundamental and state-of-the-art disciplines, including molecular genetics, biochemistry, transgenic technologies, immunology, genomics and epidemiology. The trainees will also profit from the substantial resources of the Texas Medical Center and the enormous population of at-risk or affected patients in the area. All applicants in this program must have a firm commitment to a career in academic investigation and to the goals of the Training Program. All trainees will be required to attend specific courses addressing research methodology, experimental design, research integrity and ethics, and representation by trainees from diverse backgrounds will be encouraged. Thus this Program will contribute to a new generation of academic rheumatologists equipped to address challenging problems in rheumatology, genetics and health services research.

描述（由申请人提供）：2002-2011 年国家骨与关节十年设想了医生、卫生专业人员、患者和社区之间的一系列举措，共同努力促进治疗、预防措施和治疗方法的研究和开发风湿性疾病。在此背景下，人们越来越担心新培训的学术科学家数量不足，无法取得重大进展并承担领导角色。因此，风湿病学和临床免疫遗传学奖学金培训项目代表了休斯敦德克萨斯大学健康科学中心和德克萨斯儿童医院学术部门的优秀教师的合作努力，为优秀的学术博士前和博士后研究员提供强化基础课程或风湿病学、遗传学和健康服务研究方面的临床研究培训。由资深科学家和医师科学家组成的富有成效和协作性的团队将担任两名博士前研究员和四名博士后研究员的指导教师，他们兴趣互补，并明确致力于指导和培训。教师实验室提供风湿病学、遗传学和分子生物学重要领域的研究经验。该项目提供基础和最先进学科的培训和教学指导，包括分子遗传学、生物化学、转基因技术、免疫学、基因组学和流行病学。学员还将受益于德克萨斯医疗中心的大量资源以及该地区大量高危或受影响的患者。该计划的所有申请人必须坚定地致力于学术研究事业和培训计划的目标。所有学员都必须参加涉及研究方法、实验设计、研究诚信和道德的特定课程，并鼓励来自不同背景的学员代表。因此，该计划将有助于培养新一代学术风湿病学家，使其能够解决风湿病学、遗传学和健康服务研究中的挑战性问题。
