Short Courses in Integrative and Organ Systems Pharmacology (R25): Purpose. The purpose of this FOA is to solicit applications for Education Projects to develop and deliver short courses that will provide students with a 2-3 week intensive research education and training in the area of Integrative and Organ Systems Pharmacology. These courses will introduce students to the knowledge and skills needed for studies of integrative organ system and whole organism biological responses to drugs and other physiological perturbations. The project should develop an appropriate, innovative curriculum to teach basic concepts and experimental techniques. A combination of lectures, demonstrations, and extensive hands-on experience is encouraged. Inclusion of independently funded follow-up experiences at the home institution or through industrial internships is encouraged. Course evaluations and dissemination of the developed curricular materials are expected. The courses are intended to benefit and serve the entire research community, not primarily the host institution. Participation of faculty from multiple institutions is encouraged. Students should be recruited from the national pool of potentially interested scientists. Students will likely be drawn from graduate programs in pharmacology, physiology, toxicology, and related disciplines. However, the course should be open to participation of other students at advanced levels of training and career stages, and to students from industry and government as well as from academia. The research education and training should foster their ability to assume leadership roles in all three sectors. The goal of these Education Projects will be to strengthen the research personnel base in the United States by broadening the exposure of students to training in integrative and organ systems sciences.
