 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（由申请人提供）：1。斯托尼布鲁克大学（SBU）的化学生物学培训计划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。培训计划的学生从四个参与研究生课程中选出：生物化学与结构生物学，化学，分子遗传学与微生物学以及分子与细胞药理学研究生课程。参与的教师导师（33）在传染病，癌症，毒理学，免疫学，发育生物学，能量收集，细胞信号传导，有机合成，物理有机化学，酶学和材料化学的研究兴趣。受训人员接受化学和生物学原理和技术的教育，具有核心跨学科的三学期化学生物学课程序列。具体到CBTP的活动增强了多个专业发展和网络机会的课程。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，所有学员和导师参加，与Alan Alda交流科学中心合作发展学员沟通技能的讲习班，实习，与校友的职业讨论，学员和教师参加的每月午餐，以及纽约科学院的活动。这些活动促进了学生和教师之间的广泛互动，并确保学员群体保持凝聚力。学生参加每月一次的午餐会，与项目总监和教师导师作为一个论坛，对职业生涯的反馈，程序评估，在负责任的研究行为的进修培训，并给研究报告。学员参加他们的家庭研究生课程研究俱乐部和系列研讨会，以扩大他们的知识和网络机会超越培训计划。学员与艾伦阿尔达中心沟通科学制定研究报告，可以达到各种观众。这些令人信服的谈话被带到高需求的当地高中，学生有有限的机会进行科学研究，以促进增加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斯托尼布鲁克。在负责任的研究行为的初步指导主要是通过参与课程，“科学整合”进行。通过SBU包容性教育中心的本科生研究计划和广泛的宣传，实现了代表性不足的群体的招聘。每年要求提供6个供资职位，这些职位将有1.5个机构培训名额。
