Abstract Interdisciplinary research in Immunology, Inflammation and Infectious Disease affects a wide variety of human diseases and has been fostered at the University of Utah via a campus-wide research initiative. In connection with these efforts, the Immunology, Inflammation and Infectious Disease (III) Training Program seeks to bring together faculty and trainees across the University of Utah Health campus to foster collaborative research in basic and translational immunology. This application is the recipient of substantial institutional backing and requests support for 4 pre-doctoral and 2 post-doctoral trainees. The main component of the III Training Program is individualized research training under the guidance of 30 faculty members in 9 basic and clinical departments across campus. Pre-doctoral trainees who have completed their qualifying exam are eligible for up to 2 years of support. Post-doctoral trainees are also eligible for 2 years of support. Both groups are selected by the Steering Committee from a large and highly competitive pool of candidates based on prior research excellence, a research proposal and letters of recommendation. It is anticipated that as part of their normal graduate education, trainees will complete their coursework, participate in seminars and retreats, present their research in departmental settings, write a thesis proposal, perform thesis research, publish results and defend their thesis research. In addition, the Training Program will enhance graduate education through the following activities: 1) a one-month clinical immunology rotation at ARUP, the national pathology reference laboratory affiliated with the University of Utah; 2) formal training in grant-writing, leading to submission of an extramural grant proposal; 3) support for travel to present data at scientific meetings; 4) regular lunchtime discussions of research progress with other Training Program trainees; 5) interaction with invited seminar speakers; 6) annual presentation of research at the III retreat; 7) guidance in the effective utilization of pre-doctoral and post-doctoral Individual Development Plans (IDPs); 8) formal mentoring in the use of biostatistics related to immunological research; and 9) a post-doctoral mentoring committee to provide individualized career guidance. Given the exceptional training track record of our faculty, available resources to support research and robust institutional support, the III Training Program will provide an ideal platform to train the next generation of human disease-focused immunologists.

抽象的 免疫学、炎症和传染病的跨学科研究影响着多种人类 疾病，并已在犹他大学通过全校范围的研究计划得到培育。连接中 通过这些努力，免疫学、炎症和传染病（III）培训计划旨在使 犹他大学健康校区的教职员工和实习生聚集在一起，促进合作研究 基础和转化免疫学。该应用程序得到了机构的大力支持和 请求支持 4 名博士前培训生和 2 名博士后培训生。第三期培训的主要内容 项目是在9个基础和临床领域的30名教员的指导下进行个性化研究培训 校园内的各个部门。完成资格考试的博士前培训生有资格获得 长达 2 年的支持。博士后实习生也有资格获得 2 年的支持。两组都是 由指导委员会根据之前的经验从大量且竞争激烈的候选人中选出 卓越研究、研究计划和推荐信。预计作为他们的一部分 正常的研究生教育，学员将完成课程作业，参加研讨会和静修会， 在部门环境中展示他们的研究，撰写论文提案，进行论文研究，发表 结果并捍卫他们的论文研究。此外，培训计划将加强研究生教育 通过以下活动：1) 在国家病理学中心 ARUP 进行为期一个月的临床免疫学轮转 犹他大学附属参考实验室； 2）正式的拨款写作培训，导致 提交校外拨款提案； 3) 支持在科学会议上展示数据的差旅； 4） 定期在午餐时间与其他培训计划学员讨论研究进展； 5) 互动 特邀研讨会发言人； 6) 在第三次务虚会上的年度研究报告； 7）有效指导 利用博士前和博士后个人发展计划（IDP）； 8）正式指导 使用与免疫学研究相关的生物统计学； 9）博士后指导委员会，提供 个性化的职业指导。鉴于我们教师的卓越培训记录，可用资源 为了支持研究和强有力的机构支持，第三期培训计划将为 培训下一代以人类疾病为重点的免疫学家。
