DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application seeks five years of funding for a training program in Stem Cell Biology & Regenerative Medicine to support six pre-doctoral trainees and two post-doctoral fellows with the aim of producing independent investigators capable of sustaining productive research programs in stem cell biology and use of stem cells / stem cell products in patient care. The program comprises 15 primary faculty preceptors from 10 departments (Molecular Genetics & Microbiology / Neuroscience / Pediatrics / Pathology, Immunology & Laboratory Medicine / Physiology and Functional Genomics / Medicine / Materials Science and Engineering / McKnight Brain Institute / Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation / UF Shands Cancer Center) within the Colleges of Medicine and Engineering at the University of Florida, Gainesville. The program faculty is a mix of basic and clinical scientists and is comprised of well-established and well-funded investigators that have received much national and international acclaim in stem cell biology, especially in the area of adult stem cells, spanning neural, hematopoeitic, endocrine, hepatobiliary and dermal stem cell biology. These investigators also have a strong history of student instruction. In addition to the primary Preceptors listed as Key Personnel, information is provided on a number of young investigators (Harfe, Cohn, Cogle and others) with very active and promising academic careers, whose participation will both extend and enrich the research areas covered by the Program. These investigators will be considered full Program members upon receipt of R01 or equivalent extramural funding. Pre-doctoral trainees will be recruited and initially trained in collaboration with the College of Medicine's Interdisciplinary Program in Biomedical Sciences (IDP). The pool of potential candidates averages 40-50 per year, and enroll at the University of Florida from throughout the USA. These pre-doctoral students average combined verbal and quantitative GRE scores of 1250 and GPAs of 3.5. The IDP provides comprehensive classroom training, introductory laboratory courses, laboratory rotations and advanced course work in specialized disciplines. Subsequent training focuses on independent laboratory research supplemented with program-specific activities stressing communicative skills. Pre-doctoral training requires approximately 5 years. While the first year of pre-doctoral support will come from the College of Medicine, it is anticipated that an average of 3 years of support will come from the training grant and the remainder of support from the mentor's research grant or other external sources. Post-doctoral trainees will be recruited nationally at both the Ph.D. and M.D. level. Training for post-doctoral fellows will focus almost exclusively on laboratory research, supplemented with seminars, journal clubs and selected course work, e.g., ethics. Post-doctoral training requires approximately 2-3 years, with a maximum of two years of support from the training grant.

描述（由申请人提供）： 该申请寻求五年的干细胞生物学和再生医学培训项目资助，以支持六名博士前实习生和两名博士后研究员，旨在培养能够维持干细胞生物学和使用方面富有成效的研究项目的独立研究人员干细胞/干细胞产品在患者护理中的应用。该项目由来自 10 个系的 15 名主要教师组成（分子遗传学与微生物学/神经科学/儿科/病理学、免疫学与实验医学/生理学和功能基因组学/医学/材料科学与工程/麦克奈特脑研究所/骨科与康复/UF Shands 癌症）中心）位于佛罗里达大学盖恩斯维尔分校医学与工程学院。该项目的教职人员由基础科学家和临床科学家组成，由实力雄厚、资金雄厚的研究人员组成，他们在干细胞生物学领域，特别是在成体干细胞领域，涵盖神经、造血、内分泌、肝胆和真皮干细胞生物学。这些研究人员也有丰富的学生指导历史。除了被列为关键人员的主要导师外，还提供了一些学术生涯非常活跃和有前途的年轻研究人员（Harfe、Cohn、Cogle 等）的信息，他们的参与将扩展和丰富该研究所涵盖的研究领域。程序。这些研究者在收到 R01 或同等的外部资金后将被视为正式计划成员。 将与医学院的生物医学科学跨学科项目（IDP）合作招募博士前学员并进行初步培训。佛罗里达大学的潜在候选人平均每年有 40-50 名，来自美国各地。这些博士前学生的 GRE 语文和定量综合平均成绩为 1250 分，GPA 为 3.5。 IDP 提供全面的课堂培训、实验室入门课程、实验室轮转和专业学科的高级课程。随后的培训侧重于独立实验室研究，并辅以强调沟通技巧的特定计划活动。博士前培训大约需要5年时间。虽然第一年的博士前支持将来自医学院，但预计平均 3 年的支持将来自培训补助金，其余支持来自导师的研究补助金或其他外部来源。 博士点和博士点将在全国范围内招收博士后实习生。和医学博士水平。博士后研究员的培训几乎完全集中在实验室研究上，并辅以研讨会、期刊俱乐部和选定的课程作业，例如伦理学。博士后培训大约需要2-3年，其中最长两年的培训补助金支持。
