DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goals of the proposed training program are to recruit and train outstanding graduate students and to prepare them for productive careers in science. The trainers in the "Molecular and Cellular Biology at Dartmouth" Training Program (MCBD) include 53 of the 69 faculty in Dartmouth's largest life science graduate program, the Molecular and Cellular Biology (MCB) Graduate Program. The MCB Graduate Program is an interdepartmental, interdisciplinary program with 137 students. Research areas include biotechnology, cell biology, computational biology, developmental biology, immunology, molecular pathogenesis, neurobiology, regulation of gene expression, signal transduction and cellular metabolism, and structural biology. MCB Graduate Program students and faculty come from nine departments at Dartmouth College, Dartmouth Medical School, and the Thayer School of Engineering. Many faculties in the MCB Graduate Program have long and established training records. The MCBD Training Program faculty was selected based on the strength of their research programs, their commitment to training predoctoral students, and their willingness to participate in the various activities of the MCB Graduate Program. Trainees must satisfy the MCB Graduate Program requirements for the Ph.D., which include three research rotations, a three-term core course, three elective courses, one term of teaching, participation in journal clubs and seminars, training in the responsible conduct of research, a qualifying exam, a yearly Research in Progress presentation, and a thesis defense. The MCB Graduate Program regularly matriculates approximately 25-30 students per year. New efforts to recruit underrepresented minority (URM) students, that include a highly successful Department of Defense-funded Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURF), were implemented during the current funding period. As a result of these efforts the number of URM students in the MCB Graduate Program increased from one to four, and will further double upon matriculation of the fall 2007 class. Training the next generation of scientists is essential for maintaining and improving the economy of our country and the health of its citizens. Funds from this program will be used to support young scientists during their training, and to help prepare the next generation of scientists and teachers for productive careers.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的培训计划的目标是招募和培训杰出的研究生，并为科学生产职业做好准备。 “达特茅斯分子和细胞生物学”培训计划（MCBD）的培训师包括达特茅斯最大的生命科学研究生计划中的69位教职员工中的53个，即分子和细胞生物学（MCB）研究生课程。 MCB研究生课程是一个跨部门的跨学科计划，有137名学生。研究领域包括生物技术，细胞生物学，计算生物学，发育生物学，免疫学，分子发病机理，神经生物学，基因表达的调节，信号转导和细胞代谢以及结构生物学。 MCB研究生课程学生和教职员工来自达特茅斯学院，达特茅斯医学院的九个部门和Thayer工程学院。 MCB研究生课程中的许多教职员工都有长期且已建立的培训记录。 MCBD培训计划是根据他们的研究计划的实力，对培训前学生的承诺以及他们愿意参加MCB研究生课程的各种活动的意愿选择的。学员必须满足博士学位的MCB研究生课程要求，其中包括三个研究轮换，三个核心课程，三个选修课程，一个教学学期，参与期刊俱乐部和研讨会，负责任的研究，一项合格考试，一项年度研究的研究，进行进展研究以及论文辩护。 MCB研究生课程定期为每年约25-30名学生学习。在当前的融资期内，实施了招募代表性不足的少数民族（URM）学生，其中包括非常成功的国防部资助夏季本科研究计划（SURF）的努力。由于这些努力，MCB研究生课程中的URM学生人数从一人增加到四，并且在2007年秋季班级入学后将进一步增加一倍。培训下一代科学家对于维持和改善我们国家及其公民健康的经济至关重要。该计划的资金将用于在培训期间为年轻科学家提供支持，并帮助为下一代科学家和教师做好准备。
