DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is for a new training grant in Microbial Pathogenesis at the University of Utah. Microbial Pathogenesis is receiving strong institutional attention and support at many levels on campus. The success of the Microbial Pathogenesis Seminar Series in bringing together basic scientists and clinicians on a regular basis to hear outstanding scientific presentations has led to other new initiatives including recruitment of new faculty in Microbial Pathogenesis and inclusion of Microbiology/Immunology as one of highlighted interested groups of the interdepartmental Graduate Program in Molecular Biology. Microbial Pathogenesis has been highlighted as one of the University's high priorities for development, and the commitment to a new building to house many of the faculty in Microbial Pathogenesis together is part of this plan. Currently, there are 38 faculty members participating in training graduate students and research fellows in Microbial Pathogenesis, representing both basic scientists and physician scientists. Diverse areas of Microbial Pathogenesis are represented including: Structure, Assembly, and Pathogenesis of HIV; Viral Pathogenesis; Bacterial Pathogenesis; Microbial Genomes and Gene Expression in Microbes; Host Defense and Immune Responses; and Genetics of Susceptibility to Microbial Infections. Students and post-doctoral trainees will work with mentors studying Microbial Pathogenesis and receive instruction in Microbial Pathogenesis including course work and departmental training activities, and participation in the Microbial Pathogenesis Seminar Series, Training Grant Sponsored Journal Club and Annual Retreat. This application requests funds for 5 pre-doctoral and 3 post-doctoral trainees annually.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请是在犹他州大学微生物发病机制的新的培训补助金。微生物发病机制在校园的许多层面上都得到了强有力的机构关注和支持。微生物发病机制研讨会系列的成功汇集了基础科学家和临床医生定期听取优秀的科学报告，导致了其他新的举措，包括招聘新的教师在微生物发病机制和微生物学/免疫学作为突出的兴趣群体之一部门间的研究生课程在分子生物学。微生物发病机理已被强调为大学的发展的高度优先事项之一，并承诺一个新的建筑，以容纳许多教师在微生物发病机理在一起是这个计划的一部分。目前，有38名教职员工参加培训研究生和研究员在微生物发病机制，代表基础科学家和医生科学家。微生物发病机制的不同领域包括：HIV的结构、组装和发病机制;病毒发病机制;细菌发病机制;微生物基因组和微生物中的基因表达;宿主防御和免疫反应;以及对微生物感染易感性的遗传学。 学生和博士后学员将与研究微生物发病机制的导师一起工作，并接受微生物发病机制的指导，包括课程工作和部门培训活动，以及参加微生物发病机制研讨会系列，培训资助赞助的期刊俱乐部和年度务虚会。该申请要求每年资助5名博士前和3名博士后研究生。
