DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Interdisciplinary Biomedical Imaging Training Program will prepare predoctoral trainees to become leaders in organism-level, biomedical imaging research. Multi-disciplinary teams of engineers, physicists, biologists, and clinicians are required to advance biomedical imaging, especially with the advent of in vivo cellular and molecular imaging. We will create the next generation of interdisciplinary biomedical imaging scientists and engineers who will contribute to and lead such teams. Our training program will build upon recent research infrastructure awards and institutional investments totaling - $37M in biomedical imaging. In addition to the creation of state-of-the-art imaging facilities, the number of imaging faculty members has increased from 3 in 1999 to 20. A training grant award will place students squarely in the center of on-going interdisciplinary/multidisciplinary research programs. Trainees will use new imaging facilities in the Case Small Animal Imaging Research Center, which includes 4 MRIs, micro-SPECT/CT, micro-PET, 3 bioluminescence, in vivo fluorescence, etc. Predoctoral trainees will be from the highly-rated departments of Biomedical Engineering and Physics, both of which have a long history of training in biomedical imaging. Trainees will conduct research projects combining enabling technologies in imaging with biomedical research. Each trainee will have a primary mentor who specializes in enabling technologies, or applications, and one or more co-mentors who specialize in biomedical research. A steering committee, realistic rules, and a student portfolio will ensure suitable research experiences. A comprehensive educational program will include a portfolio of imaging courses, including Cellular and Molecular Imaging and Interdisciplinary Imaging Discovery Group, a new course specially designed for interdisciplinary education. We will promote a culture of interdisciplinary research in a series of diverse activities during a designated Imaging Hour. Despite our successes with fund-raising, a predoctoral imaging training grant is sorely needed because none exists and because first-year support of graduate students has recently been eliminated at our university due to financial constraints. A training grant will help make graduate students cost effective as compared to post docs and ensure training of domestic PhD's in this area of critical need. Relevance to Public Health. Biomedical imaging enables early detection, assessment of therapy, and minimally-invasive treatment of disease. Especially with the advent of cellular and molecular imaging, biomedical imaging research requires persons with strong interdisciplinary training.

描述（由申请人提供）： 跨学科的生物医学成像培训计划将为培训前学员做好准备，成为有机体水平的生物医学成像研究的领导者。需要跨学科的工程师，物理学家，生物学家和临床医生的团队来推进生物医学成像，尤其是随着体内细胞和分子成像的出现。我们将创建下一代跨学科的生物医学成像科学家和工程师，他们将为此类团队做出贡献和领导。我们的培训计划将基于最近的研究基础设施奖和机构投资，总计3700万美元的生物医学成像。除了创建最先进的成像设施外，成像教师的数量从1999年的3人增加到20。培训赠款奖将使学生直接进入正在进行的跨学科/多学科研究计划的中心。受训者将在小型动物成像研究中心使用新的成像设施，其中包括4个MRI，微光谱/CT，微型PET，3次生物发光，体内荧光等。摄取前学员将来自生物医学工程和物理学高度评价的部门，这些部门都有较长的生物学培训历史。学员将进行研究项目，结合成像中的促成技术与生物医学研究。每个学员将有一位主要的导师，他专门从事启用技术或应用程序，以及一个或多个专门从事生物医学研究的委员。指导委员会，现实规则和学生作品集将确保合适的研究经验。一项全面的教育计划将包括成像课程的组合，包括细胞和分子成像以及跨学科成像发现小组，这是一门专门设计用于跨学科教育的新课程。在指定成像时，我们将在一系列不同的活动中促进跨学科研究的文化。尽管我们在筹款方面取得了成功，但由于不存在，并且由于财务限制而在我们的大学中取消了对研究生的一年级支持，因此迫切需要一项库存成像培训赠款。培训补助金将有助于使研究生的成本效益，并确保在这一急需的领域中对国内博士学位的培训。与公共卫生有关。生物医学成像可以早期检测，治疗评估以及对疾病的最低侵入性治疗。尤其是随着细胞和分子成像的出现，生物医学成像研究需要接受强大的跨学科训练的人。
