DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): An institutional training program in the genomic sciences is proposed for the University of Wisconsin-Madison with 16 predoctoral and 8 postdoctoral positions. Most of the predoctoral students will be trained in one of the six departments: Chemistry, Genetics, Chemical Engineering, Biochemistry, Computer Science, or Statistics, with the remainder in other relevant campus departments. The department granting the degree will reflect the primary orientation of the student, and the genomics training program will extend the curriculum, research areas and exposure beyond the scope of a single department. The key features of this program will include: 1) A focused curriculum to enable students from diverse departments to attain excellence in genomic science, 2) an instructional infrastructure through weekly seminars and programmatic co-mentoring of coursework, and 3) directed co-mentoring of research projects. The trainers represent 14 departments, and many held long-term collaborations addressing genomic and related biomedical problems. The University has invested significant resources to genomics including 5 faculty hires (which are nearly completed) and a new building dedicated to genomic science (50% of available space) to foster collaborations and to project a tangible presence on campus. The program is designed to provide the infrastructure to enable students to be trained through course work and research projects in meaningful intersections that define the genomic sciences. This program aims to train the next generation of genomicists, enabling them to gain strengths bridging multiple disciplines needed for an integrated approach to solving complex problems in genomics research. The University is ideally poised for a new training program in genomic sciences since it has strong programs across schools of engineering, medicine, and the basic sciences and histories of collaborative efforts. Although the more theoretical disciplines, such as mathematics, statistics, and computer science, are clearly essential, we must ensure that intellectual impedance matching is actively pursued with the more experimental disciplines. Cutting-edge research in genomic science has only occurred when this interface has merged and thus blurred. The Program Director, Prof. David Schwartz, was recruited in the Genomics Initiative and has a dozen years of experience training pre- and postdoctoral trainees in genomic sciences. Administration will be through the Genome Center/Biotechnology Center.

描述（由申请人提供）：在基因组科学的机构培训计划提出了威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校与16个博士后和8个博士后职位。大多数博士前学生将在六个系之一接受培训：化学、遗传学、化学工程、生物化学、计算机科学或统计学，其余学生将在其他相关校园系接受培训。授予学位的部门将反映学生的主要方向，基因组学培训计划将扩展课程，研究领域和曝光超出单一部门的范围。该方案的主要特点将包括： 1)一个重点课程，使来自不同部门的学生在基因组科学方面取得卓越成就，2）通过每周研讨会和课程的计划性共同指导的教学基础设施，以及3）研究项目的指导性共同指导。培训者代表14个部门，许多人长期合作解决基因组和相关的生物医学问题。该大学已经投入了大量的资源，包括基因组学5教师招聘（已接近完成）和一个新的建筑致力于基因组科学（50%的可用空间），以促进合作，并在校园里项目有形的存在。该计划旨在提供基础设施，使学生能够通过定义基因组科学的有意义的交叉点的课程工作和研究项目进行培训。该计划旨在培养下一代基因组学家，使他们能够获得优势，从而为解决基因组学研究中的复杂问题提供综合方法所需的多个学科。该大学非常适合基因组科学的新培训计划，因为它在工程，医学和基础科学以及合作努力的历史学院都有强大的计划。尽管数学、统计学和计算机科学等理论性较强的学科显然是必不可少的，但我们必须确保与实验性较强的学科积极追求智力阻抗匹配。基因组科学的前沿研究只有在这种界面融合并因此变得模糊的情况下才会出现。项目主任大卫施瓦茨教授是在基因组学计划中招募的，他在基因组科学方面有十几年的博士前和博士后培训经验。管理将通过基因组中心/生物技术中心。
