For example: Research Proposal
Research Topic: Research and Application of Nanocarrier Drug Delivery Technology in
the Treatment of Inner Ear Diseases. The research proposal includes five items as
follows.
1. Research status and level of new inner ear delivery system at home and abroad
Deafness and vertigo has always been a common and frequently-occurring disease in
otology. Otologists have been devoting their lives to seeking safer and more effective
treatment methods. In recent years, research on drug delivery in the inner ear has
been carried out and some achievements have been made. The delivery of drugs in
the inner ear is to deliver therapeutic drugs to the target cells of the inner ear
through corresponding channels. Current research mainly focuses on drug delivery
routes and drug carriers. The former includes systemic drug delivery, tympanic drug
delivery through the middle ear and direct drug delivery through the inner ear, while
direct drug delivery through the tympanic cavity and inner ear is the focus of current
research. Drug carriers mainly include a variety of polymer gel carriers, nanoparticles
carriers, viral carriers, etc. The latter two can be used in gene therapy of inner ear by
introducing objective fragment gene into the inner ear. Nanoscale inner ear drug delivery system is a technology with high efficiency, safety
and minimal invasion. Overseas research on this technology was carried out over ten
years ago. Domestic research on this technology is relatively late. I have been
engaged in basic research of SNHL and applied to clinical treatment since I was a
graduate student in Sun Yat-Sen University in 2010. However, there are still many
difficulties in how to treat, especially how to enhance the curative effect and reduce
toxic and side effects through ingenious treatment methods. It is urgent for us to
understand and master the latest technology status and research methods. On the
other hand, traditional Chinese medicine has many unique experiences in the
treatment of deafness. If the effective ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine
can be combined with advanced nano-carrier inner ear delivery technology, it will
have certain clinical application value, and it is worth further study.
2. Reasons for choosing your research faculty
It is generally known that the ear, nose and throat specialty of Pennsylvania
University Hospital ranks the top 6 according to American news and world reports. It
is in the forefront of the world in the treatment and research of deafness. Your
department and laboratory are in the leading position in the research and application
of inner ear drug delivery, which has broad clinical application value and market
prospects. In particular, the team led by Professor Li has a close academic exchange
relationship with China. I have had the honor of listening to Professor Li's lecture at
the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University, and benefited greatly. I have
been deeply inspired and motivated by Professor Li's research progress over the
years, and hope that I can participate in it, contributing to development of the ear.
3. The feasibility of the expected goal of studying abroad.
I have a deep understanding of this field and have done basic research on SNHL. I
have done in-depth research on noise deafness. I am proficient in the ear lab
experiment. I have done guinea pig hearing test, such as ABR test, made pathological
sections of guinea pig's middle ear and inner ear, scanning electron microscope of
hair cells inside and outside the ear. Additionally, I have applied for related fund of
the Jiangxi Province. All these have laid a solid foundation for this study abroad. I
believe that through efforts, I am bound to achieve the desired research objectives.
4. The purpose, target, plan, implementation method and time required for studying
abroad. Objective: to study the new drug delivery system in Inner ear. Objectives: To understand the advanced scientific research concepts, master the
methods and research methods of inner ear drug delivery system. C. Planning, implementation and timing (12 months):
Preparations: Read a lot of literature before going abroad, read your published
articles on Pubmed, understand your research status in this area, and systematically
understand the application of this technology in the field of inner ear. If possible, I
would like to communicate with you more, and work out the exact research plan as
soon as possible. The first month: Technological and research environment adaptation. Understanding
the existing projects and plans of the research team, familiar with technical
background information;
The second month: Research program formulation: to communicate with the staff of
the center, to formulate feasible research programs in the light of existing research
and study abroad objectives;
The 3-11th month: Project research: cooperate with the staff of the center, understand and familiarize with relevant technical means, carry out detailed
research;
The twelfth month: Summary analysis and supplementary experiments. carry out
research summary and analysis, and supplement the necessary experiments.
5. Work/study plan after returning home and research conditions offered by
employer hospital
After returning home, I will return to my department and continue to engage in
teaching and research work in related disciplines. At the same time, I will learn from
the advanced research ideas and ideas of philosophy, and increase the research level
of the diseases of the inner ear system through the funding of this key laboratory by
the investment of our own research funds and by the Jiangxi University of Traditional
Chinese Medicine, and make good preparation for clinical practice of the new inner
ear drug delivery system. At the same time, actively apply for the National Natural
Science Foundation and related projects related to screening the effective
components of traditional Chinese medicine through the new drug delivery system
for further research.
My employer hospital has promised to give greater support to the facilities and
scientific research work of the applicant's laboratory.
