DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In this proposal, a highly collaborative group of thirty-three preceptors drawn from five different departments and programs at Indiana University, Bloomington (IUB) including Chemistry, Biology, Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, Physics, and the Program in Medical Sciences of the IU School of Medicine, have come together to initiate a new predoctoral chemistry-biology interface (CBI) program termed the Quantitative and Chemical Biology Training Program (QCB TP). The central objective of the QCB TP is to build a graduate training environment that leverages our strengths in analytical chemistry and instrumentation development to create new didactic courses and research opportunities focused on interdisciplinary quantitative training in the biomedical sciences that transcends traditional departmental boundaries. The program is directed by a Program Director and an Associate Director, each with complementary expertise in physical and chemical biology, and is overseen by a Steering Committee which includes trainers from four participating departmental graduate programs. The Recruitment Committee will be responsible for identifying and targeting students for support by the program. The Curriculum Committee will direct the creation of topic-based e-modules by QCB TP students, and oversee the development of two 1.5 credit core courses, Quantitative Biology and Measurement (C680) and Introduction to Chemical Biology (C681), as well as QCB Journal Club (C689). Extracurricular programmatic activities include a QCB Seminar Series and the annual Watanabe Symposium in Chemical Biotechnology, each of which brings internationally prominent chemists to Bloomington from academia and industry alike to lecture and visit with QCB TP trainees. The program will also sponsor QCB Evenings, a monthly student-organized research seminar series. The proposed QCB TP enjoys strong administrative support from the College of Arts and Sciences at IUB, which has offered a match of six training, grant slots over the first three years of the initial five-year funding period. Ths support comes on top of 14 slots already committed over the last three years in the developmental phase of the QCB TP; this been used to support eight trainees for 1-2 years in years 2-3 of their graduate careers. A major goal of the program is to recruit and retain students from underrepresented groups in the life sciences at IUB; this will be accomplished by close association of the QCB TP Recruitment Committee with the Diversity Affairs Committee in Chemistry charged with leveraging significant campus-wide efforts in this area. A proposal for teaching the Responsible Conduct of Research is also outlined. Successful achievement of the goals of this program will dramatically change the face of graduate student education and outcomes in the chemical, physical and life sciences at IUB.

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In this proposal, a highly collaborative group of thirty-three preceptors drawn from five different departments and programs at Indiana University, Bloomington (IUB) including Chemistry, Biology, Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, Physics, and the Program in Medical Sciences of the IU School of Medicine, have come together to initiate a new predoctoral chemistry-biology interface (CBI) program termed the定量和化学生物学培训计划（QCB TP）。 QCB TP的核心目的是建立一个研究生培训环境，该环境利用我们在分析化学和仪器开发方面的优势创建了新的教学课程和研究机会，这些课程专注于超越传统部门边界的生物医学科学的跨学科定量培训。该计划由计划主任和副主任指导，每个计划都有物理和化学生物学方面的补充专业知识，并由指导委员会监督，其中包括来自四个参与部门的研究生课程的培训师。招聘委员会将负责确定和针对学生的支持。课程委员会将指导QCB TP学生创建基于主题的电子模型，并监督开发两个1.5学分核心课程，定量生物学和测量（C680）和化学生物学简介（C681），以及QCB期刊俱乐部（C689）。课外程序活动包括QCB研讨会系列和年度化学生物技术专题讨论会，每种都将国际杰出的化学家带到学术界和工业界的布卢明顿，并与QCB TP受训者一起参观。该计划还将赞助QCB晚上，这是一个每月由学生组织的研究研讨会系列。拟议的QCB TP在IUB的艺术与科学学院获得了强大的行政支持，该学院在最初的五年筹资期的前三年中提供了六次培训的比赛。在过去三年中，在QCB TP的发育阶段，支持位于已经投入的14个插槽中。在2 - 3年的研究生职业中，这被用来为八名学员提供1 - 2年的支持。该计划的主要目标是在IUB生活科学中招募和保留人数不足的群体的学生；这将由QCB TP招聘委员会与多样性事务委员会的密切协会与多样性事务委员会的密切关联完成，该委员会负责利用该领域的大量校园努力。还概述了教授负责任的研究的建议。成功实现该计划的目标将极大地改变IUB化学，物理和生命科学的研究生教育和成果的面貌。
