DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective of the Molecular, Cellular and Structural Biology (MCSB) training program is to provide predoctoral students with the knowledge to become skilled experimentalists, effective communicators, and creative thinkers. The training program offers a multidisciplinary course of study leading to the Ph.D. degree and provides students with the opportunity to select one of two programs: Molecular and Cellular Biology or Biochemistry and Structural Biology. Within the Molecular and Cellular Biology Program students additionally specialize either in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, or Developmental Biology, or Immunology and Pathology. During the first year students enroll in three out of four core courses, Biochemistry, Molecular Genetics, Cell Biology and Structural Biology. Students also initially receive training to critically evaluate and present original research articles in Journal Club, while in subsequent years they orally present their own research. Students gain valuable insights into teaching by serving as teaching assistants for undergraduate classes in the second semester of the first year and the first semester of the second year. Laboratory training experiences, or rotations, which continue throughout their first academic year help the student to select a mentor for his/her thesis research at the end of the first year. After three semesters the students are required to pass a written qualifying exam followed by the preparation of a proposal on their intended research project and the defense of this proposal before a faculty committee. Following successful defense of the proposal, students advance to candidacy and the faculty thesis committee annually monitors the students' progress until successful completion of the project and defense of a written doctoral thesis. In addition, the students present yearly reports on their research progress in a seminar forum to other graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty. The MCSB training program crosses departmental and institutional boundaries to offer thesis research training in 72 different mentored laboratories at three institutions: Stony Brook University, Brookhaven National Laboratory, and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. There are currently 146 students in the program with approximately 25 admissions per year. The top four students in their second and third years will be selected by the Executive Committee as NIH predoctoral trainees on the basis of their first year performance also taking into account their undergraduate achievements.

描述（由申请人提供）：分子，细胞和结构生物学（MCSB）培训计划的目的是为学生提供知识，以成为熟练的实验者，有效的沟通者和创造性的思想家。培训计划提供了跨学科的研究课程，导致博士学位。学位并为学生提供了选择两个程序之一的机会：分子和细胞生物学或生物化学和结构生物学。在分子和细胞生物学计划中，学生还专门研究生物化学和分子生物学，发育生物学或免疫学和病理学。在第一年，学生参加了四个核心课程中的三个：生物化学，分子遗传学，细胞生物学和结构生物学。最初，学生还接受培训，以批判性评估和介绍期刊俱乐部的原始研究文章，而在随后的几年中，他们口头介绍自己的研究。学生在第一年的第二学期和第二年的第一学期的第二学期，通过担任本科课程的教学助理来获得宝贵的见解。实验室培训经验或轮换，在整个第一学年中继续进行，帮助学生在第一年底为论文研究选择一名导师。三个学期后，学生必须通过书面资格考试，然后在教职委员会向他们的预期研究项目和该提案的辩护做准备。在成功辩护该提案之后，学生们晋升为候选人，并每年都会监视学生的进步，直到成功完成项目并辩护书面博士学位论文为止。此外，学生每年都会在研讨会论坛上向其他研究生，博士后研究员和教职员工报告他们的研究进度。 MCSB培训计划跨越了部门和机构界限，以在三个机构的72个不同的实验室提供论文研究培训：Stony Brook University，Brookhaven National Laboratory和Cold Spring Harbour Laboratory。目前，该计划中有146名学生，每年约25名入学。执行委员会将根据他们的本科成就，将由执行委员会选拔的第二年和第三年的前四名学生作为NIH前学员。
