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 该申请是延续耶鲁大学病毒学前培训计划的支持的要求 大学。目的是为分子的前学生提供多学科研究培训 人类病毒疾病中病毒，病毒宿主相互作用和发病机理的生物学。这是期望的 为与病毒学相关的生产力职业提供必要的智力和研究基础 学术界，工业和政府的学科。该计划在几乎所有方面提供培训 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，细胞和生物水平的病毒宿主相互作用以及 转化研究病毒疾病。该程序由DRS共同指导。 Priti Kumar 和Walther mothes和一个5会员咨询委员会。该计划已由 增加新的教师培训师和课程，以涵盖新兴的病毒学领域。作为一个小组，22 培训师在研究成就和培训方面都有出色的记录，许多人是国家或 国际领导人。这些培训师在14个不同的耶鲁部门有主要任命 目前，有51名在实验室工作的病毒学学者。 学生通过生物学和生物医学科学的合并计划进入该计划 （BBS）。 BBS在耶鲁医学的基本生物学和生物医学科学领域将近375位教师 学校，主要大学校园的科学山和新开发的西校园。入学是 授予具有出色学术记录的学生，特别关注研究经验。这 教师们竭尽全力吸引和保留来自不同背景的学员，尤其 代表少数群体。该计划得到了对研究生培训的强大机构承诺的支持。 导致博士学位的培训前培训学位涉及正式的课程工作和实验室轮换 第一年。这为微生物学方面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，遗传学以及其他生物学领域。学生在 第一年底，并在第二年初的合格考试中捍卫一项研究建议。 论文委员会监视学生在整个论文研究过程中的进步。深入培训 方法，逻辑和负责任的研究都有各种各样的机会 用于教学和科学互动。获得博士学位的中位时间学位为5。4年。这 申请请求资金，以继续支持每年的四名前培训人员，每位受训者 由这笔赠款的支持最多两年。
