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 faculty 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.

拟议的培训计划的目标是招募和培训杰出的研究生和 为他们准备科学生产职业。 “分子和细胞生物学的培训师 达特茅斯“培训计划（MCBD）包括达特茅斯最大的生命科学的69位教师中的53个 研究生计划，分子和细胞生物学（MCB）研究生计划。 MCB毕业生 计划是部门间跨学科的计划，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的九个部门 大学，达特茅斯医学院和泰耶工程学院。 MCB中的许多教师 研究生课程具有长期且已建立的培训记录。 MCBD培训计划教师是 根据他们的研究计划的实力选择，他们致力于培训培训前后 学生，以及他们愿意参加MCB研究生课程的各种活动。学员 必须满足博士学位的MCB研究生课程要求，其中包括三个研究旋转， 三届核心课程，三个选修课程，一个教学学期，参与期刊俱乐部和 研讨会，负责任进行研究的培训，合格考试，正在进行的年度研究 演讲和论文辩护。 MCB研究生课程定期为25-30 学生每年。招募代表性不足的少数民族（URM）学生的新努力，包括高度 成功国防部资助的夏季本科研究计划（SURF）是 在当前的资金期间实施。由于这些努力，URM学生的数量 MCB研究生课程从1个增加到四，并且在秋季入学后将进一步增加一倍 2007班。 培训下一代科学家对于维持和改善我们的经济至关重要 国家及其公民的健康。该计划的资金将用于支持年轻科学家 他们的培训，并帮助为下一代科学家和教师做好准备，以提高生产力的职业。
