PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT This application is a request for continuation of support for a pre-doctoral Training Program in Virology at Yale University. The goal is to provide multidisciplinary research training to predoctoral students in the molecular biology of viruses, virus-host interactions, and pathogenesis in human viral diseases. This is expected to provide the intellectual and research foundations necessary for productive careers in virology-related disciplines in academia, industry, and government. The program offers training in virtually all aspects of modern virology including viral genetics, the molecular, cellular and structural biology of viruses, adaptive and innate immune response to viruses, virus-host interactions at the cellular and organismal levels as well as translational research towards the treatment of viral diseases. The program is co-directed by Drs. Priti Kumar and Walther Mothes, and a 5 member Advisory Committee. The program has been strengthened by the addition of new Faculty trainers and courses to cover emerging critical areas of virology. As a group, the 22 trainers have an outstanding record of research accomplishment and training and many are national or international leaders in their fields. These trainers have primary appointments in 14 different Yale departments and currently have 51 predoctoral virology trainees working in their labs. Students enter the program through the Combined Program in Biological and Biomedical Sciences (BBS). The BBS unites nearly 375 faculty in basic biological and biomedical sciences at the Yale Medical School, Science Hill on the main University Campus, and the newly developed West Campus. Admission is granted to students with outstanding academic record with particular attention to research experience. The Faculty makes extensive efforts to attract and retain trainees from diverse backgrounds, particularly under- represented minority groups. The program is supported by strong institutional commitment to graduate training. Predoctoral training leading to the Ph.D. degree involves formal course work and laboratory rotations in the first year. This provides a solid and broad conceptual foundation and experimental training in microbiology, immunology, cell biology, genetics, as well as other areas of biology. Students select a research advisor at the end of the first year and defend a research proposal in a qualifying exam at the beginning of the second year. A Thesis Committee monitors student progress throughout the thesis research process. Intensive training in the methods, logic, and responsible conduct of research are supplemented with a wide array of opportunities for teaching and scientific interactions. The median time to obtain the Ph.D. degree is 5.4 years. This application requests funding to continue support for four predoctoral trainees in each year, with each trainees supported by this grant for a maximum of two years.

项目摘要/摘要 本申请书请求继续支持耶鲁大学病毒学博士前培训项目 大学。目标是为分子科学领域的博士生提供多学科的研究培训。 病毒生物学，病毒与宿主的相互作用，以及人类病毒性疾病的发病机制。预计这将是 为病毒学相关领域富有成效的事业提供必要的智力和研究基础 学术界、工业界和政府的学科。该计划提供几乎所有方面的培训 现代病毒学，包括病毒遗传学，病毒的分子，细胞和结构生物学，适应性和 对病毒的先天免疫反应，病毒与宿主在细胞和机体水平上的相互作用，以及 病毒疾病治疗的转化性研究。该项目由Priti Kumar博士共同指导 和Walther Moths，以及一个由5人组成的咨询委员会。该计划得到了加强，因为 增加新的教员和课程，以涵盖新出现的病毒学关键领域。作为一个团体，22个 培训员在研究、成就和培训方面有出色的记录，其中许多是国家或 各自领域的国际领先者。这些培训师在耶鲁大学的14个不同部门有初步任命 目前有51名博士前病毒学实习生在他们的实验室工作。 学生通过生物和生物医学科学的综合项目进入该项目 (BBS)。论坛联合了耶鲁医学院近375名基础生物和生物医学科学教员 学校，大学主校区的科学山，以及新开发的西校区。入场是 授予学习成绩优异的学生，特别注重研究经验。这个 教职员工努力吸引和留住来自不同背景的实习生，特别是在以下方面- 代表少数群体。该计划得到了机构对研究生培训的坚定承诺的支持。 获得博士学位的博士前培训包括正式的课程工作和实验室轮换 第一年。这为微生物学提供了坚实而广泛的概念基础和实验培训， 免疫学、细胞生物学、遗传学以及生物学的其他领域。学生在网上选择研究顾问 第一年结束，并在第二年开始的资格考试中为一项研究提案辩护。 论文委员会在整个论文研究过程中监督学生的进步。强化培训 研究的方法、逻辑和负责任的行为得到了广泛的机会的补充 用于教学和科学互动。获得博士学位的时间中位数为5.4年。这 申请申请每年继续资助四名博士前实习生，每名实习生 由这笔赠款支持，最长可达两年。
