The Trust funded a wide variety of training programs for M.D.s. These programs provided for intense research integrated into medical school curricula, offered protected time for research during residency, and developed refresher courses in basic science for M.D.s.

These programs identified physicians at various stages of medical training and provided opportunities for them to receive intensive training in a 1 ~ 1 basic research. The eight programs provided training and support to 132 physicianscientists during the 1990s.

The program was modeled after the successful Johns Hopkins National Research Service Awards program. Its goal was to provide research training and experience to talented medical school graduates early in their residency training.

Unfortunately lack of outcome data on the trainees prevented a deeper evaluation although the Committee believes the support of such training programs is worthy of philanthropic attention. Future funders of graduate training programs should ensure that a comprehensive program evaluation and prospective monitoring of outcomes is an integral part of the overall design of project.

This program, built around coursework in pathobiology, has basic scientists at the graduate school and postdoctoral level analyzing 20 major human diseases. The students study gross and microscopic pathology, observe major diagnostic procedures, witness specialized patient care such as renal dialysis and transplantation, and participate in clinical rounds.

Four of the university scholars were also Markey scholars and seven subsequently became Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigators. The directors of six of these programs participated in the National Research Council-sponsored Workshop on Training Programs in PatientOriented Pathobiology for Basic Scientists in October 1999.

to train a new generation of scientists to be competent to perform modern molecular and cell research and possess the knowledge to identify and address questions related to human disease and (2) to create an environment that enabled laboratory scientists with expertise in basic biology to interact regularly with investigators who approach research from a disease-oriented perspective.
