Integrative Training in Biomedical Systems

描述(由申请者提供)：由NIGMS赞助的俄亥俄州立大学医学院(COM)系统与整合生物学(SIB)培训计划的目标是在基础和翻译研究的跨学科方法方面培养一批精英研究生。该计划探索细胞和复杂器官系统的机制，它们的破坏如何导致疾病，以及基础科学和医学科学方法的整合如何导致影响人类健康的新发现。它与我们医疗中心内部更广泛的COM努力相协调，以产生通过教育和研究创新来改善人们生活的发现。我们的目标是为博士前实习生提供跨学科课程，保持高标准的知识严谨性，培养创造力和研究热情，并为跨越传统学科界限的精选教师提供研究机会。SIB项目旨在成为更大的综合生物医学研究生项目(IBGP)的重要组成部分，IBGP是我们的母公司博士培训项目，为我们的IBGP和MSTP毕业生提供高质量的培训机会，为我们在生物医学研究领域的成功职业生涯做准备。我们正在申请每年培训10名SIB博士前学生的资金，其中包括5名新选中的完成IBGP核心课程第一年的学员和5名完成SIB项目一年并竞争续展一年的学员。SIB项目提供协作和跨学科培训的机制包括课程作业、研讨会、实验室轮换、撰写补助金、负责任的研究行为培训，以及重点关注11个研究领域中的一个领域，并由经过审查的教员进行审查。SIB项目的教师是领先的基础生物医学科学研究人员，他们致力于学生教育和培训，并接受我们学术研究社区的多样性和合作愿景。SIB项目为SIB学员提供专属的学术、职业发展和社会活动，以增强他们成为未来生物医学科学研究的领导者的能力。我们还致力于通过有针对性的招聘和保留，在我们的计划中保持地理和种族的多样性。总之，SIB培训计划将传授跨学科的知识和技能，使学员能够接受我们的研究使命，并将自己定位为广泛的生物医学科学事业的领导者。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the NIGMS-sponsored Systems and Integrative Biology (SIB) training program at The Ohio State University College of Medicine (COM) is to educate an elite set of graduate students in interdisciplinary approaches to basic and translational research. The program explores mechanisms of cellular and complex organ systems, how their disruption leads to disease, and how the integration of approaches in basic and medical sciences can lead to new discoveries that impact human health. It is coordinated with the broader COM effort within our medical center to generate discoveries that improve people's lives through innovation in education and research. Our objective is to provide predoctoral trainees with an interdisciplinary curriculum that maintains high standards of intellectual rigor, fosters creativity and passion for research, and provides research opportunitie with selected faculty that cross traditional disciplinary boundaries. The SIB program was designed to be an integral component of the larger Integrated Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program (IBGP), our parent Ph.D. training program that provides high quality training opportunities to prepare our IBGP and MSTP graduates for successful careers in biomedical research. We are requesting funds for training ten SIB predoctoral students per year, including five newly chosen trainees who have completed their first year in the IBGP core curriculum and five trainees who have completed one year in the SIB program and who compete for a year renewal. Coursework, seminars, laboratory rotations, grant-writing, training in the responsible conduct of research, and a focus in one of eleven areas-of-research emphasis with a vetted faculty member are the mechanisms by which the SIB program provides collaborative and interdisciplinary training opportunities. Faculty in the SIB program are leading basic biomedical science researchers who are committed to student education and training, and who embrace the vision of diversity and cooperation in our academic research community. The SIB program provides exclusive scholarly, career development and social activities for the SIB trainees to strengthen their ability to become the leaders of tomorrow in biomedical science research. We are also committed to maintaining geographic and ethnic diversity in our program through targeted recruitment and retention. In summary, the SIB training program will impart the interdisciplinary knowledge and skills to enable trainees to embrace our research mission and position themselves as leaders in a wide range of biomedical science careers.
