This proposal represents a renewal proposal for the Biomolecular Science and Engineering Training Program at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Wadsworth Center. The objectives of the Training Program are aimed at increased interaction among students from the four departmental disciplines of Biology, Biomedical Engineering, Chemical and Biological Engineering, and Chemistry and Chemical Biology with didactic, research, and industrial components. The outcome of this training will provide the trainee with a keen understanding of the interdisciplinary nature of research, how it depends on fundamental underpinnings in both science and engineering, how it leads to innovative new scientific disciplines and technologies, and how commercial products are developed. Faculty (a total of 23) from the aforementioned programs, as well as trainers from Wadsworth, are actively involved in research programs spanning synthetic biology (represented by biocatalysis, pathway integration and construction, glycomics, bioseparations, and biomaterials design, synthesis, and properties); biomolecular systems (e.g., structure, function, and analysis); and molecular biology and bioinformatics. Key aspects of the training program include: [1] a set of~ three courses that maximize didactic training among the key disciplines; [2] a core course entitled "Perspectives in Biomolecular Science and Engineering" that is taken by all trainees; [3] seminar series that build on current campus-wide seminar programs at RPI and Wadsworth; [4] a student-run seminar program, where trainees and other Rensselaer graduate students in the area of biomolecular science and engineering present their research to their peers and training faculty; [5] training in responsible conduct of research; [6] joint supervision and multidisciplinary thesis committee membership for Ph.D. thesis work in biomolecular science and engineering; [7] an industrial internship; and [8] an annual. A Coordinating Committee ensures that the trainees satisfy these requirements and an Underrepresented Minority Recruitment Committee will be actively engaged in identifying and recruiting underrepresented minorities into the program. In addition to the six trainee slots per year proposed herein, Rensselaer will support three Institute trainees per year. RELEVANCE (See instructions): The program's mission and relevance is to provide an integrated and multidisciplinary platform to train a diverse cadre of predoctoral students broadly at the interface of biology and engineering, focusing on the quantitative linkages that define this interface and preparing the trainee for a career in biotechnology.

本提案是生物分子科学与工程培训的更新提案 伦斯勒理工学院和沃兹沃斯中心的课程。培训计划的目标 旨在增加来自生物学四个学科的学生之间的互动， 生物医学工程，化学和生物工程，化学和化学生物学， 教学、研究和工业组成部分。培训的结果将为受训者提供 敏锐地理解研究的跨学科性质，它如何依赖于基本的基础 在科学和工程方面，它如何导致创新的新科学学科和技术， 商业产品是如何开发的。来自上述课程的教师（共23名），以及 作为来自沃兹沃斯的培训师，他们积极参与合成生物学的研究项目 （以生物催化、途径整合和构建、糖组学、生物分离和 生物材料设计、合成和性质）;生物分子系统（例如，结构、功能和 分析）;以及分子生物学和生物信息学。培训计划的主要方面包括：[1]一套~ 三门课程，最大限度地提高关键学科的教学培训; [2]一门核心课程， 所有学员都参加的“生物分子科学与工程展望”; [3] 建立在RPI和沃兹沃斯目前的校园范围内的研讨会计划; [4]一个学生运行的研讨会计划， 生物分子科学和工程领域的实习生和其他伦斯勒研究生 向同行和培训教师展示他们的研究; [5]培训负责任的研究行为; [6] 博士生联合督导和多学科论文委员会成员生物分子学论文 科学与工程; [7]工业实习;[8]年度。协调委员会确保 受训人员符合这些要求，代表性不足的少数族裔征聘委员会将 积极参与确定和招募代表性不足的少数民族参加该方案。除了 根据本文提出的每年六个培训名额，伦斯勒将每年支持三名学院培训生。 相关性（参见说明）： 该计划的使命和相关性是提供一个综合和多学科的平台，以培养一个 在生物学和工程学的接口广泛的博士前学生的不同干部，侧重于 定量联系，确定这一接口，并准备受训者在生物技术的职业生涯。
