DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) The goal of this training program is to educate scientists who will contribute to the fight to prevent birth defects (congenital malformations and neurobehavioral abnormalities). The approach taken is to view birth defects as molecular perturbations of developmental pathways. Graduate students supported by this grant in the Molecular and Developmental Biology (MDB) Graduate Program take classes in developmental biology, embryology, molecular genetics, biochemistry, cell biology, and teratology and for some also in neuroscience and biostatistics. The molecular focus is carried throughout the program, including seminar and journal clubs, and in laboratory experiences. All laboratories in the program use molecular techniques and many also use cellular and systems methodologies. Trainees from this program have been very successful, moving on to academic, industry and government research positions in developmental toxicology, teratology, and/or developmental neurotoxicology. There is a national shortage of scientists trained in these areas and demand for our graduates remains strong. Our graduates have proven to be well prepared causing employers to return to the investigators for more of their trainees. Accordingly, request is made to train four pre-doctoral students and three postdoctoral fellows. This is the same number of pre-doctoral positions and an increase of one postdoctoral position compared to the last five years. The request for three postdoctoral positions is the same as was funded during the preceding cycle (10 to 5 years ago) and the same as was approved for funding 5 years ago. Since that time demand for scientists trained in these areas has increased and the number of applicants for the postdoctoral positions has also increased. In response, the investigators have expanded the training faculty and seek reinstatement to the prior level of three postdoctoral positions. The duration of training for postdoctoral fellows is three years and for graduate students, five years. It should be noted that recent changes to the MDB curriculum have the potential to reduce the time to earn the Ph.D. degree to 4.5 years. In addition, the contexts in which this training grant operate, i.e., the MDB program and the Children?s Hospital Research Foundation, are undergoing major expansions that bode well for even greater future success of this training grant in the next five years.

描述(由申请人提供) 这一培训计划的目标是培养那些将 为预防出生缺陷(先天性 畸形和神经行为异常)。采取的方法是 将出生缺陷视为发育的分子扰动 小路。这项资助资助的研究生在《分子》杂志上 和发育生物学(MDB)研究生课程 发育生物学、胚胎学、分子遗传学、生物化学、 细胞生物学和畸形学，对一些人来说也是神经科学和 生物统计学。分子焦点贯穿整个项目， 包括研讨会和杂志俱乐部，以及实验室经验。全 该计划中的实验室使用分子技术，许多实验室还使用 蜂窝和系统方法论。该项目的实习生拥有 非常成功，进入了学术界、工业界和政府部门 发育毒理学、畸胎学和/或 发育神经毒理学。在全国范围内都有这样的短缺 在这些领域接受过培训的科学家和对我们毕业生的需求仍然存在 强壮。我们的毕业生已经被证明做好了充分的准备，导致雇主 回到调查员那里寻找更多的实习生。因此， 申请培养四名博士后和三名博士后 博士后研究员。这是相同数量的博士前职位 与过去的五个相比，增加了一个博士后职位 好几年了。对三个博士后职位的要求与以往相同 在上一个周期(10至5年前)期间提供资金，并与 五年前被批准资助。由于该时间要求 在这些领域接受培训的科学家数量有所增加， 申请博士后职位的人数也有所增加。在……里面 作为回应，调查人员已经扩大了培训队伍，并寻求 将三个博士后职位恢复到原来的水平。这个 博士后研究员的培训期限为三年， 研究生，五年。应该指出的是，最近的变化 MDB课程有可能减少赚取 博士学位至4.5年。此外，在这种情况下， 培训拨款运作，即MDB项目和儿童？S 医院研究基金会正在进行大规模的扩建，这是一个好兆头 希望这笔培训基金在下一年取得更大的成功 五年了。
