DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective of this proposal is to establish a new and unique graduate training opportunity at Ohio State University (OSU), the Cellular, Molecular and Biochemical Sciences Program (CMBP). This program will draw faculty and trainees from five related molecular life sciences graduate programs: Biophysics, Microbiology, Molecular Cellular and Developmental Biology, Molecular Genetics, and the Ohio State Biochemistry Program. While these programs are very successful in training students in particular disciplines, they have not focused on providing additional coordinated interdisciplinary training opportunities as historical precedents make introduction of changes in curriculum or addition of new training modules somewhat difficult. The goal of the CMBP is to create new opportunities for student training by introducing career-advancing components. Starting with orientation week activities where students are assigned a faculty and peer mentor, and continuing with monthly research meetings, annual symposia, career workshops, ethics training, CMBP-specific courses, optional internship programs, annual evaluations, and career monitoring, CMBP trainees will experience training not available through other programs. Special CMBP features also include the requirement for a co- advisor, who will provide expertise complementary to that of the advisor on a routine basis, and a mandatory scientific writing workshop specifically developed for this program. CMBP will be a rigorous and demanding program designed to attract top students to OSU, and the breadth and depth of the training provided will position CMBP graduates to make significant contributions to biomedical research in academia, government, and industry. In the past few years, significant institutional support, together with a new Arts and Sciences College structure, has facilitated interdisciplinary research and graduate training at OSU. Thus, we feel the time is right to bring these opportunities to a new level. The resources requested in this proposal would now allow us to build on existing strengths to develop a new graduate training program that spans a broad range of topics and activities in the cellular, biochemical and molecular sciences. The unique combination of opportunities offered through the CMBP will also increase recruitment and retention of the very best graduate students, in particular from underrepresented minorities (URM), thereby building upon recent successes in similar undergraduate recruitment activities at OSU. Matching institutional support towards our goal of having one quarter of new fellowships awarded to URM students each year has been secured.

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案的目的是在俄亥俄州州立大学（OSU）建立一个新的和独特的研究生培训机会，细胞，分子和生物化学科学计划（CMBP）。该计划将吸引来自五个相关分子生命科学研究生课程的教师和学员：生物物理学，微生物学，分子细胞和发育生物学，分子遗传学和俄亥俄州国家生物化学计划。虽然这些项目在培训特定学科的学生方面非常成功，但它们并没有专注于提供额外的协调跨学科培训机会，因为历史先例使得引入课程变化或添加新的培训模块有些困难。CMBP的目标是通过引入职业发展组件为学生培训创造新的机会。从定向周活动开始，学生被分配给教师和同伴导师，并继续每月的研究会议，年度研讨会，职业研讨会，道德培训，CMBP特定课程，可选的实习计划，年度评估和职业监测，CMBP学员将体验到其他计划无法提供的培训。特殊的CMBP功能还包括对共同顾问的要求，他们将提供常规基础上的顾问的专业知识，以及专门为该计划开发的强制性科学写作研讨会。CMBP将是一个严格而苛刻的计划，旨在吸引顶尖学生到OSU，提供的培训的广度和深度将定位CMBP毕业生在学术界，政府和工业界的生物医学研究作出重大贡献。在过去的几年里，显著的机构支持，加上新的艺术和科学学院的结构，促进了跨学科研究和研究生培训在俄勒冈州立大学。因此，我们认为现在是将这些机会提升到一个新水平的时候了。本提案中要求的资源现在将使我们能够在现有优势的基础上开发一个新的研究生培训计划，涵盖细胞，生物化学和分子科学的广泛主题和活动。通过CMBP提供的机会的独特组合也将增加招聘和保留最好的研究生，特别是来自代表性不足的少数民族（URM），从而建立在最近的成功在俄勒冈州立大学类似的本科生招聘活动。匹配的机构支持，以实现我们的目标，有四分之一的新奖学金授予URM学生每年已获得。
