 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): 1. The Chemical Biology Training Program at Stony Brook University (SBU) provides graduate students with the training required to make major contributions to the health and welfare of the United States. Students in the training program are selected from four participating graduate programs: the Biochemistry & Structural Biology, the Chemistry, the Molecular Genetics & Microbiology, and the Molecular & Cellular Pharmacology graduate programs. Participating faculty mentors (33) have research interests in infectious disease, cancer, 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. Activities specific to the CBTP enhance the curriculum with multiple professional development and networking opportunities. These include the Institute of Chemical Biology and Drug Discovery annual symposium and poster session, attended by all trainees and mentors, workshops for the development of trainees' communication skills in collaboration with the Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science, internships, career discussions with alumni, monthly lunches attended by trainees and faculty, and activities at the New York Academy of Sciences. These activities foster extensive interactions between students and faculty and ensure that the trainee group maintains a cohesive identity. The students attend a monthly lunch meeting with a Program Director and faculty mentors as a forum for feedback on careers, program assessment, refresher training in the responsible conduct of research, and to give research presentations. Trainees participate in their home graduate program research clubs and seminar series to broaden their knowledge and networking opportunities beyond the training program. Trainees work with the Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science to formulate research presentations that can reach a variety of audiences. These compelling talks are taken into high needs local high schools in which students have limited access to scientific research in order to foster increased interest and understanding of science. Outside seminar speakers in Chemical Biology are invited to Stony Brook through a variety of forums. Initial instruction in the responsible conduct of research is carried out primarily through participation the course, "Scientific Integrit". Recruitment of underrepresented groups is achieved through the SBU Center for Inclusive Education undergraduate research programs and extensive outreach. Six funded positions are requested per year and these positions will be matched by 1.5 institutional training slots.

 描述(由申请者提供)：1.石溪大学(SBU)的化学生物学培训项目为研究生提供为美国的健康和福利做出重大贡献所需的培训。培训计划的学生是从四个参与的研究生项目中挑选出来的：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项目。参与的教师导师(33人)的研究兴趣包括传染病、癌症、毒理学、免疫学、发育生物学、能量采集、细胞信号、有机合成、物理有机化学、酶学和材料化学。受训者接受化学和生物原理和技术方面的教育，核心课程为跨学科的三学期化学生物学课程序列。专门针对CBTP的活动通过多种职业发展和网络机会提升课程。这些活动包括化学生物学和药物发现研究所的年度研讨会和海报会议，所有受训者和导师参加，与艾伦·阿尔达科学传播中心合作举办的培养受训者沟通技能的讲习班，实习，与校友的职业讨论，受训者和教职员工参加的每月午餐，以及纽约科学院的活动。这些活动促进了学生和教职员工之间的广泛互动，并确保学员群体保持凝聚力。学生每月与项目主任和教师导师一起参加午餐会，作为就职业生涯、项目评估、负责任的研究行为的进修培训和发表研究报告的反馈的论坛。受训者参加他们的家庭研究生计划、研究俱乐部和系列研讨会，以拓宽他们的知识和网络机会，超越培训计划。受训者与艾伦·阿尔达科学传播中心合作，制定能够接触到各种受众的研究演示文稿。这些令人信服的演讲被带到高需求的当地高中，在那里，学生接触科学研究的机会有限，以培养对科学的兴趣和理解。化学生物学的外部研讨会演讲者通过各种论坛被邀请到石溪。负责任地开展研究的初步指导主要是通过参加“科学综合”课程进行的。招募代表性不足的群体是通过SBU包容性教育中心、本科生研究方案和广泛的外联活动实现的。每年需要6个供资职位，这些职位将与1.5个机构培训名额相匹配。
