EXCEED THE SPACE PROVIDED. This renewal application requests continued support for the research training program in Hemostasis and Thrombosis at the University of Vermont. The focal point of the program is the basic and clinical research training of M.D. and Ph.D. fellows. It is our intent to maintain this highly integrated and symbiotic research environment and extend training opportunities to pregraduate and short-term students as well. Postdoctoral candidates with an M.D. degree typically enter the program following the first year of residency training. Candidates with a Ph.D. degree usually begin training immediately after fulfilling their degree requirements. Postdoctoral candidateswith more experience are also admitted. Predoctoral candidates will enter the program after completingthe first year of their graduate program. Short-term students from the MedicalCollege at the University of Vermont will participate in the research program during summer breaks and preference will be given to students who wish to return for several summers. All candidatesshare a desire to pursue research and further their knowledge in the fields of hemostasis and thrombosis. The heart of the training program is the research of the training faculty, all of whom have well established endeavors covering multiple basic and clinical aspects of hemostasis and thrombosis. The program faculty include the Chairs of the Departments of Biochemistry, Medicine, and Pathology, the Associate Dean of Research, and other distinguished faculty members. There is a high degree of cooperative interchange amongst the research laboratories of the faculty members of this program. The training faculty have complementaryresearch interests and a long history of close interactionon both research and educationalenterprises. Primary training of the fellows in this program occurs within the research laboratory environment and is supplemented with formal educational programs within the College of Medicine at the University of Vermont. Seminars, conferences, journal clubs, and laboratory meetings also contribute to the intellectual and social interactionof the faculty and fellows. This program provides trainees with a strong backgroundin basic research skills and allows trainees to join a vast network of collaborating investigators, including the current and former members of the participating laboratories. Trainees are thereforewell prepared for future research endeavors in any field. PERFORMANCE SITE ========================================Section End===========================================
