# Research Training in Experimental Immunology

> **NIH NIH T32** · UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN AT ANN ARBOR · 2021 · $392,639

## Abstract

This is a competing application for continued support of an NIAID-sponsored multi-disciplinary program for
“Research Training in Experimental Immunology” at the University of Michigan School of Medicine beginning
its 26th year. Faculty preceptors with interests in immunology and immunological mechanisms of disease are
selected from the Departments of Pathology, Internal Medicine, Microbiology & Immunology, Pediatrics and
Communicable Diseases, Molecular and Integrative Physiology, Neurology, Neurologic Surgery and Surgery in
the Medical School as well as from the College of Pharmacy and the Dental School. Our senior preceptors
direct active, highly regarded laboratories with exemplary records of securing funding. These preceptors have
outstanding records in mentoring graduate students and post-doctoral fellows. In addition, we have added
highly regarded new investigators and have established mechanisms to ensure that these new preceptors
have ample guidance in becoming accomplished mentors themselves. The Immunology T32 Training Program
(ITTP) is directed by Dr. Bethany Moore who also serves as the Director of the Graduate Program in
Immunology (GPI) at the University of Michigan and was the co-Director of this ITTP during the last cycle. Dr.
Moore will work closely with the ITTP Executive Committee and the GPI Graduate Student Affairs Committee
to advise trainees, monitor curriculum and resolve any issues. The ITTP will continue to sponsor several major
activities: 1) a weekly seminar for students and post-doctoral fellows to present Works-in Progress, 2) a
Visiting Professor Monthly Seminar where invited guest speakers present their research and spend a day
interacting with program faculty and trainees, 3) ITTP Research Colloquium Courses which provide in depth
training in Experimental Immunology Methods and Translational Immunology and 4) “i-Club” which will provide
additional journal club, career development and networking opportunities for our trainees. The ITTP also
provides training in Research Responsibility and Ethics and is committed to continuing to recruit and train
talented mentees from underrepresented populations to facilitate the creation of a diverse and talented pool of
researchers for the next generation. In fact, Dr. Moore has training with regards to best practices in this area
and is highly involved in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) activities campus-wide, particularly as they relate
to evaluation of candidates and mentoring. Support is requested for 5 pre-doctoral and 3 post-doctoral
trainees, an increase to reflect the growth in the immunology community at Michigan, growth in the GPI
enrollment, growth in our ITTP training faculty and increased demand for training in this field. This ITTP
program has been essential to the formation of the GPI at the University of Michigan and our success is best
measured by the outstanding publication and presentation records of our recent trainees and the excellent
post-doctoral, a...
