DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed training program is based on an integration of nutrition with the physical, behavioral, and other biological sciences. Its strength and excellence in training nutrition scientists for the last 25 years are derived from this disciplinary integration. The program's objective is to provide trainees with a state-of-the-art understanding of the interrelationships among food intake, nutritional status, and functional capacities in health and disease. It also provides the skills necessary to design significant investigations; to identify, develop, and/or apply required methodologies; and to execute studies to advance knowledge in the nutritional sciences. The disciplines represented in this training include human nutrition and metabolism, physiology, biochemistry, molecular biology/genetics, analytical chemistry, toxicology, anthropology, sociology, psychology, epidemiology, and statistics. We propose to train 11 predoctoral trainees. They will be selected from among students who usually will have completed two years of graduate-level training. Trainees will interact with approximately 90 other graduate students in the Division of Nutritional Sciences, who come from about 20 different countries. This diversity provides a strong, supportive network of domestic and international colleagues during and after training. Available facilities include (1) a metabolic research unit (4900 sq ft) with in-patient facility for short-term, overnight supervision, (2) metabolic facilities at collaborating clinical institutions, (3) modern laboratory facilities (16,000 sq ft), including expanded capabilities in our stable isotope laboratory, (4) general university laboratory resources (e.g., Biotechnology Center), (5) AAALAC-accredited animal facilities (9,000 sq ft) plus planned transgenic mouse facilities (2500 sq. ft) assigned to the Division, (6) access to domestic and international field sites through affiliations with the USDA Extension Service and ties to leading international research organizations, and (8) networked central and on-site computing facilities.

描述(由申请人提供)： 拟议的培训方案是基于营养与 物理、行为和其他生物科学。它的力量和 过去25年来对营养学家的培训取得了卓越的成绩 从这一学科整合中。该计划的目标是提供 学员对以下方面的相互关系有最新的了解 食物摄入量、营养状况和健康和功能能力 疾病。它还提供了必要的技能来设计重要的 调查；确定、开发和/或应用所需的方法；以及 进行研究以增进营养科学方面的知识。这个 参加此次培训的学科包括人类营养学和 代谢、生理学、生物化学、分子生物学/遗传学、分析 化学、毒理学、人类学、社会学、心理学、流行病学和 统计数据。我们计划培训11名博士前实习生。他们将被选中 从通常将完成两年研究生水平的学生中 训练。实习生将与大约90名其他研究生互动 在营养科学部，他们来自大约20个不同的 国家。这种多样性提供了强大的、支持性的国内和 国际同事在培训期间和培训后。可用的设施 包括(1)一个新陈代谢研究单位(4900平方英尺)，设有住院设施 短期、通宵监督；(2)协作中的代谢设施 临床机构，(3)现代化的实验室设施(16,000平方英尺)， 包括我们稳定同位素实验室的扩展能力，(4)一般 大学实验室资源(如生物技术中心)，(5) AAALAC认可的动物设施(9000平方英尺)，外加计划中的转基因小鼠 设施(2500平方米FT)分配给该司，(6)获得国内和 通过与美国农业部扩展服务建立联系的国际现场站点 以及与领先的国际研究组织的联系，以及(8)联网 中央和现场计算设施。
