DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal requests funding for the predoctoral Chemical Biology Training Program at Stony Brook University (SBU). This interdisciplinary and interdepartmental Program offers chemical biology training opportunities for Ph.D. students selected from four participating units: the Biochemistry & Structural Biology, the Chemistry, the Molecular Genetics & Microbiology, and the Molecular & Cellular Pharmacology graduate programs. Participating faculty mentors (29) have research interests in infectious disease, cancer and toxicology, immunology, developmental biology, energy-harvesting, cell-signaling, organic synthesis, physical organic chemistry, enzymology, and materials chemistry. Trainees are educated in the principles and techniques of both chemistry and biology with a core interdisciplinary three-semester Chemical Biology course sequence. All trainees and mentors participate in the Institute of Chemical Biology and Drug Discovery annual symposium and poster session. This retreat is one avenue by which extensive interactions between students and faculty are fostered and the trainee group maintains a cohesive identity. The students meet for lunch with a Program Director or Mentor once per month during the academic year as a forum for feedback on careers, program assessment and two-way feedback. Trainees participate in their home graduate program research clubs and seminar series to broaden their knowledge and networking opportunities beyond the training program. In their fourth year, trainees work with Journalism faculty to convert their previously prepared research talks to presentations that non-scientists can understand and appreciate with the most compelling to be presented in a community outreach forum. Trainees invite outside seminar speakers. Instruction in the responsible conduct of research is carried out primarily through participation the course, "Scientific Integrity". Recruitment of underrepresented groups is achieved through the SBU AGEP summer undergraduate research programs and extensive outreach. The number of mentors participating in the CBI Training Program is 29 and four funded positions are requested in the first year and eight funded positions are requested in subsequent years.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案要求在Stony Brook University（SBU）为托尼化学生物学培训计划（SBU）提供资金。该跨学科和跨部门计划为博士提供了化学生物学培训机会。从四个参与单元中选择的学生：生物化学和结构生物学，化学，分子遗传学和微生物学以及分子和细胞药理学研究生课程。参与的教师导师（29）在传染病，癌症和毒理学，免疫学，发育生物学，能量捕获，细胞信号，有机合成，物理有机化学，酶学和材料化学方面具有研究兴趣。通过核心跨学科化学生物学课程序列，学员接受了化学和生物学的原理和技术教育。所有学员和导师都参加了化学生物学和药物发现研究所年度研讨会和海报会议。这种务虚会是培养学生和教职员工之间的广泛互动的途径，并且学员小组保持着凝聚力的身份。学生在学年期间每月一次与计划主任或导师见面，作为职业，计划评估和双向反馈的反馈论坛。学员参加了他们的家庭研究生计划研究俱乐部和研讨会系列，以扩大他们的知识和网络机会，超越培训计划。在第四年，学员与新闻学院合作，将他们以前准备好的研究谈判转换为非科学家可以理解和欣赏的演讲，并在社区推广论坛中最引人注目。学员邀请外面的研讨会扬声器。负责任进行研究的指导主要是通过参与课程“科学完整性”来进行的。通过SBU AGEP夏季本科研究计划和广泛的外展活动实现了代表性不足的群体的招聘。参加CBI培训计划的导师人数为29，在第一年要求四个资助职位，随后几年要求八个资助职位。
