DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Biomedical research at the Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) has expanded considerable over the past decade and, as part of this growth, the number of laboratories with a primary focus in embryonic development has increased greatly. To support the training efforts of these laboratories, this revised application is submitted to support a basic research training program that will provide predoctoral and postdoctoral students with a rigorous grounding in molecular and cellular aspects of Developmental Biology. The proposed training faculty is comprised of 23 investigators who utilize biochemical, molecular, cellular, and/or genetic approaches to understanding developmental processes in a variety of vertebrate and invertebrate animal model systems including flies, chick, frog, fish, and mouse. Program faculty are drawn from basic science departments and independent research units within the School of Medicine, all housed on the main OHSU campus. All members of the training faculty have active, externally funded basic research programs. The field of Developmental Biology is becoming increasingly intertwined with cell biology and other disciplines, requiring that students receive a broad education in diverse subjects in order to meet future challenges. To accomplish this, all trainees will receive rigorous research training in embryonic development in their preceptors' laboratories, and will participate in journal clubs, seminars, and scientific meetings, including the Northwest Regional Developmental Biology Meeting, the annual trainees symposium, and the OHSU graduate student retreat. Predoctoral trainees will also receive a broad classroom based education in biochemistry, genetics, cell biology, molecular biology, and neurobiology, as well as more in depth training in developmental biology through formal coursework involving both lectures and laboratory exercises. One outstanding feature of the training program at OHSU is the high level of interactions and collaborations that occur among faculty members with diverse research interests and expertise.

描述（由申请人提供）：在俄勒冈州健康与科学大学（OHSU）的生物医学研究在过去的十年中有了相当大的扩展，作为这种增长的一部分，主要集中在胚胎发育的实验室数量大大增加。 为了支持这些实验室的培训工作，提交此修订后的申请以支持基础研究培训计划，该计划将为博士前和博士后学生提供发育生物学分子和细胞方面的严格基础。 拟议的培训教师由23名研究人员组成，他们利用生物化学，分子，细胞和/或遗传学方法来了解各种脊椎动物和无脊椎动物模型系统（包括苍蝇，小鸡，青蛙，鱼和小鼠）的发育过程。 项目教师来自医学院内的基础科学部门和独立研究单位，全部位于OHSU主校区。 培训教师的所有成员都有积极的，外部资助的基础研究计划。 发育生物学领域与细胞生物学和其他学科越来越紧密地联系在一起，要求学生接受不同学科的广泛教育，以应对未来的挑战。 为了实现这一目标，所有学员将在他们的导师实验室接受严格的胚胎发育研究培训，并将参加期刊俱乐部，研讨会和科学会议，包括西北地区发育生物学会议，年度学员研讨会和OHSU研究生务虚会。 博士前学员还将接受生物化学，遗传学，细胞生物学，分子生物学和神经生物学的广泛课堂教育，以及通过涉及讲座和实验室练习的正式课程在发育生物学方面进行更深入的培训。 OHSU培训计划的一个突出特点是具有不同研究兴趣和专业知识的教师之间的高水平互动和合作。
