Project Summary / Abstract The University of Michigan proposes a predoctoral Chemistry-Biology Interface (CBI) Training Program for a select group of Ph.D. students. The number of training slots requested for this program is ten per year for a five-year period of support. Students will be appointed to the training program for two years beginning in the second year of their Ph.D. program. A diverse cohort of talented and promising trainees will be selected, and faculty mentors will adopt best practices in the retention of trainees throughout their graduate studies. The participating units are the Department of Chemistry, the Biophysics Program, and the Department of Molecular Cellular and Developmental Biology from the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts; the Department of Biological Chemistry, the Department of Pharmacology, and the Department of Pathology from the Medical School; the Department of Medicinal Chemistry from the College of Pharmacy; the Program in Chemical Biology, and the Life Sciences Institute. The faculty of the CBI Training Program includes chemical biologists, synthetic organic and inorganic chemists, bioorganic chemists, bioanalytical chemists, mechanistic enzymologists, spectroscopists, and crystallographers. The curriculum of the training program includes a novel student sabbatical to be completed before graduation and, preferably, while the trainee is supported by the training grant. This sabbatical program is one of the most significant and unique opportunities available to the University of Michigan CBI trainees. Innovative career development training, including panels and hands-on training through the sabbatical program, will provide students with exposure to a wide range of possible career paths. Two core courses in Chemical Biology and a CBI seminar course are integral to the program. Research and classroom training will also emphasize responsible conduct in research and strategies for conducting reproducible research with the highest standards of scientific rigor. Research opportunities for the trainees are varied and involve faculty with a wide range of expertise in research at the interface of chemistry and biology. The trainees have access to the most sophisticated techniques and instrumentation in modern research at this interface. The Michigan CBI training program supports students both from research groups that have historically focused on purely chemical or purely biological problems as well as research groups with a strong core emphasis in chemical biology. This varied perspective provides strengths and opportunities integral to the training program. The faculty of the training program has a long history of collaborative research, and this interactive approach to research is a central theme in the training of a new generation of scientists.

项目总结/摘要 密歇根大学提出了一个博士前化学生物学接口（CBI）培训计划， 选择一组博士学生该计划要求的培训名额为每年10个， 五年支持期。学生将被指定参加培训计划，为期两年， 博士学位的第二年程序.将挑选一批有才华和有前途的学员， 教员导师将采用最佳做法，在学员整个研究生学习期间留住他们。的 参与单位是化学系，生物物理学计划，和分子生物学系 细胞和发育生物学，来自文学，科学和艺术学院; 生物化学系、药理学系和病理学系 学校;药学院药物化学系;化学课程 生物学和生命科学研究所。CBI培训计划的教师包括化学生物学家， 合成有机和无机化学家，生物有机化学家，生物分析化学家，机械 酶学家、光谱学家和晶体学家。 该培训计划的课程包括一个新的学生休假，毕业前完成 并且最好是在受训者得到培训补助金的支持时。这个休假计划是最 重要和独特的机会提供给密歇根大学CBI学员。创新的职业 发展培训，包括小组讨论和通过休假计划进行的实践培训，将提供 学生接触到广泛的可能的职业道路。两门化学生物学核心课程和一门 CBI研讨会课程是该计划的组成部分。研究和课堂培训也将强调 负责任的研究行为和以最高标准进行可重复研究的策略 科学的严谨性。为学员提供的研究机会是多种多样的，并涉及教师与广泛的 在化学和生物学的接口研究的专业知识。受训者可以接触到 先进的技术和仪器的现代研究在这个接口。密歇根州加调局培训 该计划支持来自研究小组的学生，这些研究小组历史上专注于纯化学或 纯粹的生物学问题以及以化学生物学为核心重点的研究小组。这 不同的视角提供了培训计划不可或缺的优势和机会。的教师 培训计划有着悠久的合作研究历史，这种互动的研究方法是一种 培养新一代科学家的核心主题。
