This award will establish a Research Training Group in Cytoskeleton Biology at the University of Minnesota. The faculty group includes members of the departments of Cell Biology and Neuroanatomy, Genetics and Cell Biology, Biochemistry, and Plant Biology. The funds awarded will provide stipends for graduate students and postdoctoral trainees, will support research participation by undergraduate students and high school students, and will defray part of the cost of the trainees' research. In addition, funds will be used to purchase specialized research equipment to be used by trainees and to bring investigators from other research and academic institutions to the campus for seminars and bi-annual symposia. University resources will augment the funds provided by NSF in most of these categories. The cytoplasm of all eukaryotic cells contains a dynamic, fibrous network of actin filaments, microtubules and intermediate filaments that participate in virtually every aspect of cellular form and function. Because of the cytoskeleton's ubiquity and its role in cellular processes as diverse as gene expression, cell replication and division, and cell movement, studies of the cytoskeleton provide an excellent focus for multidisciplinary training in at the forefront of modern biology.

该奖项将在明尼苏达大学建立一个细胞骨架生物学研究培训小组。 教师团队包括细胞生物学和神经解剖学、遗传学和细胞生物学、生物化学和植物生物学系的成员。 所获得的资金将为研究生和博士后学员提供津贴，支持本科生和高中生参与研究，并支付学员的部分研究费用。 此外，资金还将用于购买供学员使用的专门研究设备，并邀请其他研究和学术机构的研究人员到校园参加研讨会和每两年一次的研讨会。 大学资源将增加 NSF 在大多数此类领域提供的资金。 所有真核细胞的细胞质都含有肌动蛋白丝、微管和中间丝的动态纤维网络，它们几乎参与细胞形式和功能的各个方面。 由于细胞骨架的普遍存在及其在基因表达、细胞复制和分裂以及细胞运动等多种细胞过程中的作用，细胞骨架的研究为现代生物学前沿的多学科培训提供了极好的焦点。
