DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Southern California (USC) Training Program in Cellular, Biochemical, and Molecular Sciences (CBM Training Program) prepares students for careers in interdisciplinary biomedical research and related occupations. Major goals of the Program are to promote interdisciplinary training and to make students aware of computational methods which will be useful for their current and future research and for their careers. Trainees are selected from 14 different Ph.D. programs at USC which span the entire spectrum of biomedical and biological sciences. This ensures that Trainees receive a multidisciplinary experience in the CBM Program and are the "cream of the crop" at USC. CBM Trainees have diverse backgrounds and research interests, come from many parts of the U.S. and foreign countries, and include under-represented minority students. In addition to the requirements of their Ph.D. programs, Trainees benefit from Training Program-specific activities, including monthly Trainee research presentations, workshops with computational or career development themes, interactions with selected speakers from outside USC, participation in recruitment of new graduate students, training in ethical standards of research, and an annual retreat. The computational theme of the CBM Program takes advantage of areas of special strength at USC in computational genomics and cancer epidemiology, both of which emphasize quantitative treatments of complex data sets. Most CBM Trainees are supported during their second and third years of graduate school and continue to participate in the Program until completion of their Ph.D. degree. The CBM Program works closely with USC's outstanding graduate student recruitment mechanism, called Program in Biomedical and Biological Sciences (PIBBS). During their first year at USC, students in PIBBS rotate with several faculty, chosen from any biologically-oriented Ph.D. program at USC. The outstanding PIBBS web site attracts more than 100 U.S. and more than 500 total applicants per year. Faculty and staff attend national and regional recruitment fairs, including those targeted to under-represented minority students. We also have formal partnerships with BRIDGES-to-the-Ph.D. programs at local minority-serving institutions. These measures ensure that we will continue to attract a diverse group of high-quality trainees.

描述（由申请人提供）：南加州大学 (USC) 细胞、生化和分子科学培训计划（CBM 培训计划）为学生从事跨学科生物医学研究和相关职业做好准备。该计划的主要目标是促进跨学科培训，并使学生了解对他们当前和未来的研究以及职业生涯有用的计算方法。受训者是从 14 名不同的博士中选拔出来的。南加州大学的项目涵盖整个生物医学和生物科学领域。这确保了学员在 CBM 项目中获得多学科经验，并成为南加州大学的“精英”。 CBM 学员拥有不同的背景和研究兴趣，来自美国和外国的许多地区，其中包括代表性不足的少数族裔学生。除了博士学位的要求之外。计划中，受训者受益于培训计划特定的活动，包括每月受训者研究演示、以计算或职业发展为主题的研讨会、与南加州大学外部选定演讲者的互动、参与新研究生的招募、研究道德标准培训以及年度静修。 CBM 项目的计算主题利用了南加州大学在计算基因组学和癌症流行病学方面的特殊优势领域，这两个领域都强调复杂数据集的定量处理。大多数 CBM 学员在研究生第二年和第三年都会得到支持，并继续参与该计划直至完成博士学位。程度。 CBM 项目与南加州大学优秀的研究生招生机制（称为生物医学和生物科学项目 (PIBBS)）密切合作。在南加州大学的第一年，PIBBS 的学生与几位从生物学博士中选出的教员轮换。南加州大学的计划。出色的 PIBBS 网站每年吸引超过 100 个美国申请者和超过 500 名申请者。教职员工参加国家和地区招聘会，包括针对代表性不足的少数族裔学生的招聘会。我们还与 BRIDGES-to-the-Ph.D. 建立了正式的合作伙伴关系。当地少数民族服务机构的计划。 这些措施保证了我们不断吸引多元化的高素质学员。
