DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Timing plays a critical role in biology. From precisely sequenced "once-in-a-lifetime" developmental events to neural, endocrine and motor oscillations, biological systems have evolved a capacity to internally time myriad physiological processes and behaviors. Taking advantage of recent technical advances in Internet-based real-time video communications, the proposed Temporal Biology Training Program will join the investigative talent of three research institutions, the University of Virginia, Northwestern University and the Morehouse School of Medicine, in a multi-disciplinary group drawn from biology, endocrinology, biomathematics, chemistry, physics and engineering to provide novel graduate and undergraduate training in the temporal aspects of biological organization and function. Within the proposed training program, students will develop an appreciation for the role of temporal organization within biological systems. At the core of the proposed training program is the goal of increasing diversity within biomedical academic disciplines by providing an exceptional multi-institutional training opportunity focused on an increasingly important area of contemporary neuroscience. The two-stage program consisting of undergraduate summer research experience and graduate study will assist in developing the pipeline that will ultimately result in increased participation of minority populations at all levels of biomedical academic or industrial careers.

描述（由申请人提供）：时间在生物学中起着关键作用。 从精确排序的“一生一次”发育事件到神经， 内分泌和运动振荡，生物系统已经进化出一种能力， 内部计时无数的生理过程和行为。利用 基于互联网的实时视频通信的最新技术进步， 拟议的时间生物学培训计划将加入调查 弗吉尼亚大学西北分校三个研究机构的人才 大学和莫尔豪斯医学院，在一个多学科小组 从生物学、内分泌学、生物数学、化学、物理学和 工程提供新的研究生和本科生培训， 生物组织和功能的时间方面。于拟议 培训计划，学生将发展的作用，赞赏 生物系统中的时间组织。建议的核心 培训计划的目标是增加生物医学学术的多样性 通过提供卓越的多机构培训， 机会集中在当代日益重要的领域 神经科学两个阶段的计划包括本科夏季研究 经验和研究生学习将有助于开发管道， 最终增加少数群体的参与 生物医学学术或工业职业水平。
