DESCRIPTION: (Adapted from the applicant's Description) The Developmental Biology Training Program (DBTP) at Duke University has the mission of training predoctoral students in developmental biology and developmental genetics at the highest level. The program provides a broad intellectual landscape and encourages students to learn aspects of developmental biology well beyond the boundaries of their narrow research topics. This new program grew out of two very successful and ongoing training programs at Duke University. The Cell and Molecular Biology Training Program and the Genetics Training Program have been the source of most students who enter Duke University and then find that developmental biology is attractive to them as a research area. Five years ago, with the number of students interested in developmental biology growing, the faculty in the basic sciences began to build the Developmental Biology Training Program. At the core of which is the excellent research environment in the basic sciences of the Medical School and the biological sciences at the College. Eight departments are involved in the Program: the Departments of Cell Biology, Biochemistry, Biology, Genetics, Immunology, Microbiology, Neurobiology, and Pharmacology. Clinical scientists with a strong focus on basic research are members in the program as well. Through the Developmental Biology Training Program, predoctoral students receive classroom and laboratory training that prepares them for competitive research careers. Statistics indicate that most of previous graduates have remained active in research, and suggest that these trainees have been prepared for productive careers in science. The investigators' goal is to build on this tradition of excellence in training.

描述：（改编自申请人的描述）杜克大学的发展生物学培训计划（DBTP）的使命是培训最高水平的发育生物学和发育遗传学前学生。 该计划提供了广泛的智力景观，并鼓励学生学习远远超出其狭窄研究主题的界限的发展生物学方面。 这个新计划从杜克大学的两个非常成功和正在进行的培训计划中发展。 细胞和分子生物学培训计划和遗传学培训计划一直是大多数进入杜克大学的学生的来源，然后发现发展生物学对他们作为研究领域具有吸引力。 五年前，随着对发展生物学增长感兴趣的学生人数，基础科学的教师开始建立发展生物学培训计划。 其核心是医学院基础科学和学院生物科学的出色研究环境。 该计划参与了八个部门：细胞生物学，生物化学，生物学，遗传学，免疫学，微生物学，神经生物学和药理学的部门。 对基础研究的重点也是该计划的成员。通过开发生物学培训计划，前学生接受课堂和实验室培训，为竞争性研究职业做好准备。 统计数据表明，以前的大多数毕业生都活跃于研究中，并表明这些受训者已经为科学生产生涯做好了准备。 调查人员的目标是基于这种卓越训练的传统。
