PROJECT SUMMARY This application is for the 3rd competitive period of this Training Program, the sole training program in lung science in Columbia University. The 2nd competitive period was highly successful. We more than doubled trainee recruitment from the 1st cycle. We were successful with our emphasis in recruiting women. A major emphasis in this cycle will be to enhance Diversity in the trainee and mentor pools. A majority of our graduates placed in competitive faculty positions at major academic centers and were awarded competitive funding. We will continue our high standard of training for promising MD, or PhD (or equivalent) postdocs to prepare them for academic careers in lung science. Main features of the Program are: mentored training in research, exposure to multiple courses in basic and translational science in pulmonology, and to multiple courses in career development and scientific conduct. Research areas span a wide range of pulmonary disciplines including basic and translational science of Acute Lung Injury (ALI), Lung Development, Asthma/COPD and Lung Vascular Biology. New training directions include stem and pluripotential cell biology, precision medicine and genomics. We almost doubled our pool of world class mentors, several being innovators in their fields. Research facilities are mainly centered in the Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University. Fewer than 2% of applicants are selected from a competitive pool of applicants after review of their credentials and interviews with the members of the Program’s Executive Committee. The Program will continue to be selective, of high quality and inclusive of under-represented minorities.

项目摘要 该申请是该培训计划的第三次竞争时期，即肺部的唯一培训计划 哥伦比亚大学科学。第二个竞争时期非常成功。我们翻了一番 从第一周期招募的实习生。我们在招募妇女方面取得了成功。专业 在这个周期中的重点是增强学员和精神池的多样性。我们的大多数毕业生 在主要学术中心担任竞争性教师职位，并获得竞争资金。我们 将继续我们的高标准培训，以供有前途的MD或博士学位（或同等的博士后）做好准备 肺科学学术职业。该计划的主要特征是：研究中的指导培训， 接触肺部基础科学和转化科学的多个课程，以及多个课程 职业发展和科学行为。研究领域跨越了广泛的肺部学科 包括急性肺损伤（ALI），肺发育，哮喘/COPD的基本和转化科学 肺血管生物学。新的训练方向包括茎和多能细胞生物学，精密医学 和基因组学。我们几乎将世界一流的导师池翻了一番，其中一些是他们领域的创新者。 研究设施主要集中在哥伦比亚的Vagelos医师和外科医生学院 大学。在审查其申请人之后，不到2％的申请人是从竞争性申请人中选择的 该计划执行委员会成员的证书和访谈。该程序将继续 选择性，高质量，包括代表性不足的少数民族。
