DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Transplantation holds the promise of reversing the clinical course of thousands of Americans afflicted with end- stage organ disease, as well as metabolic diseases. Northwestern University's transplant program is a national leader in both clinical transplantation and transplantation-related research. The number of transplant surgeons and physicians engaged in transplantation-related research had decreased in recent years. Reasons given for the lack of enthusiasm in pursuing a research-related career include 1) insufficient financial support for research training, 2) conflict between clinical specialty and su-specialty training and research training, 3) inadequate teaching of rigorous research methodology, and 4) the lack of accountability on the part of program directors to ensure that trainees committed to careers in clinical investigation are engaged in activities during their research training that enhance their competitiveness to obtain independent funding when they become faculty members. The specific objectives of this training grant are to 1) provide stipend support for trainees; 2) provide mentorship by junior, mid-level, and senior investigators in collaboration with academic clinicians well versed in transplantation; 3) protect trainees from clinical activities that compete for their time; 4) sustain an administrative structure that expand the ethnic diversity and quality of the candidate pool; 5) provide training opportunities that span the spectrum from both basic/translational science to clinical/outcomes research at their intersection with clinical transplantation; and 6) continue an ongoing evaluation process for determining whether or not the program is meeting its goals and objectives. Trainees will be exposed to a rigorous base of classroom study in the disciplines necessary for successfully conducting transplant-related research, while being exposed to various other aspects of transplant surgery. There are two different tracks trainees can select from: NUTORC (the Northwestern University Transplant Outcomes Research Collaborative) and NUCTRIBE (the Northwestern University Collaborative for Transplant Research in Immunobiology and Biomedical Engineering). Both provide intensive, rigorous training by multidisciplinary senior, mid-level, and junior mentors, as well as classroom education. NUTORC trainees may choose between an MS in Health Services and Outcomes Research, an MS in Clinical Investigation, an MS in Epidemiology and Biostatistics or an MS in Healthcare Quality and Patient Safety. NUCTRIBE trainees may select coursework from many disciplines related to their research, chosen after consultation and approval by their mentors and the Executive Committee. Both tracks are required to take coursework in the responsible conduct of research. Both tracks uniquely prepare trainees to perform innovative, state-of-the-art research in transplant-related fields.

描述（由申请人提供）：移植有望扭转成千上万患有末期器官疾病以及代谢疾病的美国人的临床过程。西北大学的移植计划是临床移植和与移植有关的研究的国家领导者。近年来，从事与移植有关的研究的移植外科医生和医师的数量减少了。缺乏热情追求研究相关职业的原因包括1）不足以进行研究培训的财务支持，2）临床专业和SU特殊培训和研究培训和研究培训之间的冲突不足，3）缺乏严格的研究方法的教学不足，4）4）4）4）缺乏责任感，以确保他们在培训过程中获得培训的一部分，以使他们在培训中获得培训的培训，从而使他们在培训中的竞争能力使他们在培训中的竞争能力使他们在培训中的竞争能力使他们在培训中的竞争能力使他们能够培养他们在培训中的竞争力，从而使他们在培训中的竞争能力使他们在培训中的竞争能力促进了他们在培训中的竞争力。教师。该培训补助金的具体目标是1）为受训者提供津贴支持； 2）在与精通移植的学术临床医生合作中，提供初级，中级和高级研究人员的指导； 3）保护受训者免受竞争时间竞争的临床活动； 4）维持一个扩大候选人池种族多样性和质量的行政结构； 5）提供跨越的培训机会 从基础/转化科学到临床/结果研究的频谱与临床移植交集； 6）继续进行持续的评估过程，以确定该计划是否达到其目标。在成功进行移植相关的研究所需的学科中，学科的学科将暴露于一门严格的课堂研究基础，同时暴露于移植手术的其他各个方面。学员可以选择两种不同的轨道：Nutorc（西北大学移植成果研究合作）和Nuctribe（西北大学的免疫生物学和生物医学工程研究）。两者都提供了多学科高级，中级和初级导师以及课堂教育的深入，严格的培训。 NutORC受训者可以在医疗服务和成果研究中进行选择，临床研究的MS，流行病学和生物统计学的MS或医疗保健质量和患者安全的MS。 Nuctribe训练者可以从与他们的研究有关的许多学科中选择课程工作，并在其导师和执行委员会的咨询和批准后选择。两条轨道都必须在负责任的研究中参加课程。这两种轨道都独特地准备了学员，以在与移植相关的领域进行创新，最先进的研究。
