This proposal seeks funding to support the Young Investigator Initiative (YII). The YII is one of the flagship programs of the United States Bone and Joint Initiative and was established to train the next generation of musculoskeletal investigators in the art of preparing high quality grant proposals. The program/conference occurs over two weekends separated by 12-18 months. In the first phase of the YII, early stage clinical and basic science investigators learn the principles of proposing hypothesis-driven research and preparing significant and innovative grant proposals. They are assigned 2-4 experienced mentors who work with them in developing a research question. The young investigators then write and submit a grant proposal. After receiving a critique of their proposal from the awarding agency's review group, they return for the second phase of the YII program (usually after 12-18 months). In this phase, the participants learn how to respond to the critique and refine and improve the application. The application is then resubmitted. This iterative process continues until the investigator receives funding. The success of the YII mentoring program has been remarkable. Since its establishment in 2005, over 750 scientists have applied for training. 378 have been accepted. These individuals have received 1,104 grants totaling over $280 million dollars. The success rate for funding is 55%. The YII strongly supports diversity in recruiting young basic and clinical scientists into the program. 51% of the participants are female. We ensure that arrangements for child and family care and handicap access are available at the conference sites. Moreover, recruitment of under-represented minority candidates is also a major feature of YII. In this regard, the YII utilizes the NIH network of CTSA (Clinical Translational Science Award) institutions to identify potential minority candidates and will, if necessary, waive any fees for these individuals. The scientists that comprise the mentoring faculty are all former NIH and CIHR study section members with many years of experience. Their involvement in this program is voluntary. They participate because of their commitment to keep full the pipeline of new musculoskeletal investigators. Most of the budget requested in this proposal will be used to defray the expenses of the faculty and procure the conference venue. In summary, it is important that we provide the best possible training to advance the careers of young investigators working in the musculoskeletal sciences. We believe that the Young Investigator Initiative, at least in part, achieves this goal.

该提案寻求资金支持青年研究者计划（YII）。 YII 是其中之一 美国骨骼与联合倡议的旗舰项目，旨在培训下一代 一代肌肉骨骼研究人员擅长准备高质量的资助提案。这 计划/会议在两个周末举行，间隔 12-18 个月。在YII的第一阶段，早期 阶段临床和基础科学研究人员学习提出假设驱动研究的原则和 准备重大且创新的拨款提案。他们被指派了2-4名经验丰富的导师，他们的工作 与他们一起提出一个研究问题。然后，年轻的研究人员撰写并提交一份资助提案。 在收到授予机构评审小组对其提案的批评后，他们返回进行第二次评审 YII 计划的阶段（通常在 12-18 个月后）。在此阶段，参与者学习如何应对 批评并完善和改进应用程序。然后重新提交申请。这个迭代过程 一直持续到研究者收到资助为止。 YII 辅导计划取得了显着的成功。自2005年成立以来，已超过 已有 750 名科学家申请参加培训。已接受 378 份。这些人已收到 1,104 赠款总额超过2.8亿美元。融资成功率为55%。 YII 强烈支持招募年轻基础和临床科学家加入该计划的多样性。 51%的参与者是女性。我们确保儿童和家庭护理及残障的安排 会议地点可供访问。此外，征聘代表性不足的少数族裔候选人 也是YII的一大特色。在这方面，YII 利用了 NIH 的 CTSA 网络（临床转化 科学奖）机构确定潜在的少数族裔候选人，并在必要时免除任何费用 这些人。 导师团队的科学家均是前 NIH 和 CIHR 研究部门成员 拥有多年的经验。他们参与该计划是自愿的。他们参加是因为 他们致力于保持新的肌肉骨骼研究人员的储备充足。大部分预算要求 在本提案中，该资金将用于支付教师费用和购买会议场地。 总之，重要的是我们提供最好的培训来促进年轻人的职业生涯 从事肌肉骨骼科学工作的研究人员。我们相信，青年研究者倡议 至少部分实现了这一目标。
