The UCLA Microbial Pathogenesis Training Grant provides the foundation for an integrated research training program in the biochemistry & biology of microbial pathogens and host-pathogen interactions The program's goal is to train scientists to conduct research in microbial pathogenesis using molecular, cellular, genetic and immunological approaches Our training faculty includes 31 preceptors, 10 of whom have joined us since the last renewal A broad range of related research interests are represented, including bacteriology, parasitology, virology, mycology and the immunology of host-microbe interactions Faculty have excellent publication, funding and training records The program was first funded in 1988 Six predoctoral and 2 postdoctoral positions are currently funded and we request an increase in the number of predoctoral trainees to eight Most of our Ph D trainees are recruited through the UCLA ACCESS Program to the Molecular and Cellular Life Sciences, which provides an excellent pool of predoctoral applicants 44% of entering ACCESS students have expressed an interest in microbiology and immunology, emphasizing the need for additional predoctoral trainee slots Our faculty are also successful in attracting qualified postdoctoral fellows through a variety of channels Trainees are selected for funding on a competitive basis, after a thorough review of their academic and research accomplishments Progress is reviewed on a yearly basis and appointments are renewed yearly with a maximum of three years of support for predoctoral trainees and two years for postdoctoral trainees The training program requires the completion of coursework focused on microbial pathogenesis, annual presentation of trainee research in a seminar series attended by all trainees and training preceptors, participation in a Microbial Pathogenesis seminar series composed of external, preeminent scientists in the field and a journal club conducted by trainees Research presentations at national meetings and UCLA scientific retreats, as well as participation in a course devoted to ethics and accountability in biomedical research are required Career counseling by an advisory committee is also emphasized The focal point of our training program is excellence in research Several mechanisms to monitor and facilitate trainee progress in research and other areas is outlined Our past training efforts have been successful and continued success is anticipated following the plan outlined in this proposal

加州大学洛杉矶分校微生物发病机制培训补助金提供了一个综合研究培训的基础 微生物病原体和宿主-病原体相互作用的生物化学与生物学计划 目标是培养科学家利用分子，细胞，遗传和 免疫学方法我们的培训教师包括31名导师，其中10名是去年12月加入我们的。 更新广泛的相关研究兴趣，包括细菌学，寄生虫学， 病毒学，真菌学和宿主-微生物相互作用的免疫学教师有很好的出版物， 资助和培训记录该计划于1988年首次资助6个博士前和2个博士后职位 目前的资助，我们要求增加博士前学员的人数，以八个我们的大部分博士学位 学员是通过加州大学洛杉矶分校的访问计划招募到分子和细胞生命科学， 提供了一个优秀的博士前申请人的游泳池44%的进入访问学生表示， 对微生物学和免疫学的兴趣，强调需要额外的博士前实习生插槽我们 教师也成功地通过各种渠道吸引合格的博士后研究员 在对他们的学术和研究进行彻底审查后，在竞争的基础上选择资助 每年审查进展情况，每年延长任用， 三年的支持博士前学员和两年的博士后学员培训计划 要求完成以微生物发病机理为重点的课程，每年介绍实习生的研究 在所有学员和培训导师参加的系列研讨会上， 由该领域的外部杰出科学家组成的系列研讨会和由受训人员主持的期刊俱乐部 在国家会议和加州大学洛杉矶分校科学务虚会上发表研究报告，并参加课程 致力于生物医学研究中的道德和责任，需要由顾问提供职业咨询。 委员会也强调我们的培训计划的重点是卓越的研究几个 概述了监测和促进学员在研究和其他领域取得进展的机制 这些努力取得了成功，预计在本建议书概述的计划之后将继续取得成功
