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(申请人提供)：本申请是申请犹他大学微生物致病学新的培训助学金。微生物致病机制在校园内得到了多个层面的大力关注和支持。微生物致病学研讨会系列成功地将基础科学家和临床医生定期聚集在一起，听取了杰出的科学报告，并导致了其他新的倡议，包括招聘微生物致病学的新教员，并将微生物学/免疫学纳入分子生物学跨部门研究生计划的重点兴趣小组之一。微生物病理学已被强调为该大学发展的高度优先事项之一，承诺建立一座新的建筑，将许多微生物病理学的教职员工聚集在一起，这是这一计划的一部分。目前，有38名教职员工参与微生物致病学研究生和研究员的培训，他们既代表基础科学家，也代表内科科学家。微生物致病的不同领域包括：艾滋病毒的结构、组装和致病；病毒致病；细菌致病；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；以及微生物感染的遗传易感性。 学生和博士后实习生将与研究微生物病理学的导师合作，接受微生物病理学方面的指导，包括课程工作和部门培训活动，以及参加微生物病理学系列研讨会、培训补助金赞助的期刊俱乐部和年度务虚会。本申请申请每年资助5名博士后和3名博士后实习生。
