DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): There is a widely acknowledged national shortage of translationally trained young investigators, both Ph.D.s and M.D.s. To accomplish this goal, the Reproductive & Developmental Biology Training Program at the Massachusetts General Hospital selects strongly motivated candidates from a rich candidate pool; provides trainees with an intensive research experience in basic and/or clinical investigation; supports these efforts with a skilled and well-funded faculty engaged in important research questions; and complements this mentored research experience by a strong didactic experience in the underpinning sciences of genetics, reproductive and developmental biology and clinical investigation. Trainees are selected on the basis of prior academic and research accomplishments; a strong future commitment to an academic career; and a personal interview indicating their motivation and future potential as independent investigators. The PI (Dr. Crowley) is a Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, Director of the Harvard Reproductive Endocrine Sciences Center, an established scientist and recognized mentor who governs in conjunction with Dr. Patricia Donahoe, a highly qualified senior scientist, who serves as Co-Director. The training faculty consists of active, well-funded scientists whose expertise lines the full spectrum of reproductive and developmental research from fundamental developmental biology to bench-to-bedside investigations. The training faculty has been expanded in this proposal to reflect and take appropriate advantage of the new tools and opportunities that are redefining translational research. Each trainee is closely supervised by an active yet individualized mentorship program overseen by a senior faculty member. An extensive and rigorous didactic program interlaces tightly with their strong, independent laboratory programs and compliments the trainees' 2-3 years of research experience (90%effort). The training period often involves additional years as junior faculty to ensure maximal competitiveness for subsequent independent support, the ultimate goal of this Training Program. Research facilities are spacious and fully equipped with recently modernized laboratory and clinical research space dedicated to the training faculty of this grant. The institutional environment is superb and the reinforcement from the Reproductive Endocrine Sciences Centers programs is substantial. This institutional training grant represents a critical stabilizing element in these programs and is a critical link that enables talented trainees to achieve subsequent independent careers in Reproduction and Developmental Biology.

描述（由申请人提供）：广泛公认的全国性培训年轻调查员，博士和M.D.S.为了实现这一目标，马萨诸塞州综合医院的生殖与发展生物学培训计划从富裕的候选人池中选择了强烈的候选人；为受训者提供基本和/或临床研究的密集研究经验；通过参与重要的研究问题的熟练且资金丰富的教师来支持这些努力；并通过在遗传学，生殖和发育生物学和临床研究的基础科学领域具有强大的教学经验来补充这种指导的研究经验。根据先前的学术和研究成就，选拔学员；对学术职业的强烈未来承诺；以及个人面试，表明他们作为独立研究人员的动机和未来潜力。 PI（Crowley博士）是哈佛医学院的医学教授，哈佛大学内分泌科学中心主任，他是一位知名的科学家和认可的导师，他与高素质的高级科学家Patricia Donahoe博士一起，担任联合导演。培训教师由活跃的，资金丰富的科学家组成，他们的专业知识将从基本发展生物学到卧铺对卧铺调查的繁殖和发展研究的全部范围。该提案已扩大了培训教师，以反映和适当地利用正在重新定义转化研究的新工具和机会。每个学员都受到高级教师监督的积极而个性化的指导计划的密切监督。一个广泛而严格的教学计划与他们的强大独立实验室计划紧密地交织在一起，并赞美学员的2 - 3年研究经验（90％的努力）。培训期通常涉及少年作为初级教师，以确保最大程度地竞争后续独立支持，这是该培训计划的最终目标。研究设施宽敞，配备了最近现代化的实验室和临床研究空间，专门用于该赠款的培训学院。制度环境非常出色，生殖内分泌科学中心计划的加强是很大的。这项机构培训补助金是这些计划中的关键稳定因素，是一个关键的联系，使才华横溢的学员能够实现后来的独立生涯和发展生物学的独立职业。
