DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This training program is proposed by the Center for Tropical and Emerging Global Diseases (CTEGD) of the University of Georgia (UGA) to develop biomedical investigators in the areas of bioinformatics, biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, cell biology and immunology related to laboratory and field research on parasitic pathogens, their hosts and their vectors. CTEGD is a multi-disciplinary group of scientists/educators who work productively in these areas and share a unifying concept of the research and education of trainees. The concept is based on a rigorous training that imparts: a broad understanding of the biosciences; in depth training in focused research; and the perspectives to appreciate global aspects of parasitic diseases. ICTEGD is founded on this tenet that biomedical scientists who study these diseases should be accomplished in their discipline and able to understand and relate their research in the greater global context, where their research may have an additional impact. This training grant will draw on the breadth of biomedical science training within the Departments of Cellular Biology, Medical Microbiology and Parasitology, Entomology, Microbiology, and Genetics. Our in-depth research training component will provide opportunities in genetic, bioinformatic, molecular, biochemical, cell biologic and immunologic aspects of parasites or host/parasite relationships with any of the 13 highly qualified, funded, experienced CTEGD faculty members. The research systems available for study include malaria, cryptosporidiosis, cyclosporiasis, American and African trypanosomiasis, leishmaniasis, toxoplasmosis, Ichthyophthirius multifiliis (Ich) of fish, parasitic insects, schistosomiasis, cysticercosis, lymphatic filariasis, and culicine, anopheline and ixodid vectors. Through courses, a seminar series, a journal club, an annual symposium, focused retreats and unique bench and overseas opportunities, trainees will learn about aspects of parasitology outside of their own research focus and research integrity. Funding is requested for 5 years to support 4 predoctoral and 3 post-doctoral trainees per year. Superior trainees will be selected by the CTEGD faculty from a national pool of applicants based on scholastic records, recommendations, standardized testing, prior research experience, and commitment to a scientific career in this field. Our recruitment will pro-actively seek excellent students underrepresented in the biomedical sciences.

描述（由申请人提供）：该培训计划由乔治亚大学（UGA）热带和新兴全球疾病中心（CTEGD）提出，旨在培养与寄生病原体、宿主及其载体的实验室和现场研究相关的生物信息学、生物化学、遗传学、分子生物学、细胞生物学和免疫学领域的生物医学研究人员。 CTEGD 是一个由科学家/教育工作者组成的多学科小组，他们在这些领域富有成效地工作，并在受训者的研究和教育方面拥有统一的理念。这一概念基于严格的培训，传授： 对生物科学的广泛理解；重点研究的深入培训；以及了解寄生虫病全球方面的观点。 ICTEGD 的成立宗旨是，研究这些疾病的生物医学科学家应该在其学科领域取得成就，并能够在更大的全球背景下理解和关联他们的研究，他们的研究可能会产生额外的影响。该培训补助金将利用细胞生物学、医学微生物学和寄生虫学、昆虫学、微生物学和遗传学系内广泛的生物医学科学培训。我们的深入研究培训部分将提供与 13 名高素质、资金充足、经验丰富的 CTEGD 教员中的任何一位一起研究寄生虫或宿主/寄生虫关系的遗传、生物信息学、分子、生物化学、细胞生物学和免疫学方面的机会。可用于研究的研究系统包括疟疾、隐孢子虫病、环孢子虫病、美洲和非洲锥虫病、利什曼病、弓形体病、鱼类多子鱼霉病（Ich）、寄生昆虫、血吸虫病、囊尾蚴病、淋巴丝虫病以及库克辛、按蚊和蜱虫媒介。通过课程、研讨会系列、期刊俱乐部、年度研讨会、重点静修以及独特的工作和海外机会，学员将了解自己的研究重点和研究完整性之外的寄生虫学各个​​方面。申请资助期限为 5 年，每年支持 4 名博士前培训生和 3 名博士后培训生。 CTEGD 教师将根据学术记录、推荐、标准化测试、先前的研究经验以及对该领域科学职业的承诺，从全国申请者库中选出优秀的学员。我们的招聘将积极寻找生物医学领域代表性不足的优秀学生。
