DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Michigan proposes to continue a predoctoral Chemistry-Biology Interface (CBI) Training Program for a selected group of Ph.D. students. The number of students requested for this new training program is 10 for a five-year period of support. The participating units are the Department of Chemistry, College of Literature, Science, and the Arts; the Departments of Biological Chemistry and Pharmacology, Medical School; the Biophysics Research Division (BRD); the Chemical Biology Ph.D. (CB IDP) program and he Department of Medicinal Chemistry, College of Pharmacy. The faculty of the CBI Training Program includes synthetic organic and inorganic chemists, bioorganic chemists, bioanalytical chemists, protein chemists, mechanistic enzymologists, spectroscopists, and crystallographers. The Ph.D. degrees will be awarded in Chemistry, Biological Chemistry, Chemical Biology, Pharmacology, and Medicinal Chemistry. Students will be appointed to the training grant for two years beginning in the second year of their Ph.D. program. The curriculum of the Training Program includes a novel student sabbatical to be completed before graduation and, preferably, while the trainee is supported by the training grant. In an effort to enhance interaction between students and provide more opportunity for trainees to present their research, we have instituted a monthly luncheon that is attended by present and past CBI trainees. Twice per year, students from the larger CB IDP in order to foster interactions between students of both programs. In addition, seminars and individual meetings with CBI trainees have been implemented in order to provide career counseling. Two core courses in Chemical Biology and regularly scheduled opportunities for the trainees to present their research results to the Training Program Faculty and fellow trainees are also integral to the program. Research opportunities for the trainees are varied and involve faculty with a wide range of expertise in research at the interface of chemistry and biology. The trainees have access to the most sophisticated techniques and instrumentation in modern research at this interface. The faculty of the Training Program has a long history of collaborative research and this interactive approach to research is a central theme in the training of a new generation of scientists in these four basic disciplines. During the next five years, the CBI Program is positioned to be a major contributor to the new interdisciplinary Life Sciences Initiative at the University of Michigan.

描述（由申请人提供）：密歇根大学建议继续为选定的博士组进行博士前化学生物学接口（CBI）培训计划。学生这一新的培训方案要求的学生人数为10人，为期五年。参与单位是文学，科学和艺术学院化学系;医学院生物化学和药理学系;生物物理研究部（BRD）;化学生物学博士。(CB IDP）计划和药物化学系，药学院。CBI培训计划的教师包括合成有机和无机化学家，生物有机化学家，生物分析化学家，蛋白质化学家，机械酶学家，光谱学家和晶体学家。的博士学位将授予化学，生物化学，化学生物学，药理学和药物化学。学生将被任命为培训补助金两年开始在他们的博士学位的第二年。程序.培训方案的课程包括一个新的学生休假，将在毕业前完成，最好是在受训者得到培训补助金的支持时完成。为了加强学生之间的互动，并为学员提供更多的机会来展示他们的研究，我们已经建立了一个由现在和过去的CBI学员参加的每月午餐会。每年两次，学生从较大的CB IDP，以促进两个程序的学生之间的互动。此外，为提供职业咨询，还举办了研讨会，并与加拿大工业联合会的受训人员举行了单独会议。化学生物学的两门核心课程以及定期安排学员向培训计划教师和其他学员展示研究成果的机会也是该计划不可或缺的一部分。为学员提供的研究机会是多种多样的，并涉及在化学和生物学的接口研究的广泛专业知识的教师。受训人员可以在这个界面上获得现代研究中最先进的技术和仪器。培训计划的教师有着悠久的合作研究历史，这种互动的研究方法是这四个基本学科新一代科学家培训的中心主题。在未来五年内，CBI计划将成为密歇根大学新的跨学科生命科学计划的主要贡献者。
