Abstract The next generation of immunologists and microbiologists need to understand the complex challenges that infectious disease researchers in the 21st century will face, including the emergence of new infectious diseases, increase in multi-drug resistant strains of bacteria and viruses and escalation of global public health problems that cross geographical boundaries. To foster inter-departmental participation in graduate education, the current PhD programs have been reorganized into a Multidisciplinary PhD Program in Biomedical Science composed of three interdisciplinary "tracks", which emphasize areas of research strength and funding on the NJMS campus. Pertinent to the current application is Track 3 titled Infection, Immunity and Inflammation (I3). The objective of this training grant is to train a cadre of pre-doctoral students in a unique Integrated Education Program, where they will receive a sound training in cutting-edge laboratory-based research (Immunology, Inflammation, Immunity and Molecular Microbiology) that is integrated with clinical and translational science. New Jersey Medical School (NJMS) together with the Graduate School of Biomedical Science (GSBS) is in a unique position to establish such an integrated program since the School has a strong history of infectious disease research and clinical care, and an excellent record of mentored training in Microbiology, Immunology and Immunity. The Basic and Clinical infectious Disease Faculty has strong research funding and access to outstanding basic research and clinical facilities. Following the merger in 2013 of Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, and the former University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, Rutgers Biomedical Health Sciences was created. The new RBHS chancellor has made significant commitment to infectious disease research. Faculty on the training grant have recently received there large multi-million dollar grants-TBRU, CETR and ICIDR. Batish, one of our graduate students received a National Institutes of Health Director's Early Independence Award. Velaquez, a student from the first year of the I3 track is ready to graduate with two published papers and two manuscripts in preparation and was awarded two very competitive research fellowships during her thesis work. This proves that our Faculty mentors and students are capable of high- level achievements. NJMS is committed to education of under-represented minorities and has established the Hispanic Center of Excellence. The school has committed substantial resources to the program, including 10% of the PI's base salary. In sum, the goals of the grant are-i) to recruit pre-doctoral trainees committed to careers in infectious diseases; ii) to provide a strong training in basic science research related to molecular microbiology, immunology, inflammation and immunity; iii) to enhance basic research training with exposure to clinical and translation infectious diseases through specifically designed courses; iv) to enhance interaction of basic and clinical faculty to enrich the education experience of the trainee. Together, the integrated program will enable trainees to come up with creative solutions to combat the war against infectious diseases.

摘要 下一代免疫学家和微生物学家需要了解 传染病研究人员在21世纪世纪将面临的挑战，包括新的传染病的出现， 疾病、细菌和病毒的多重耐药菌株增加以及全球公共卫生升级 跨越地理界限的问题。为了促进跨部门参与研究生教育， 目前的博士课程已被重组为生物医学科学的多学科博士课程 由三个跨学科的“轨道”组成，强调研究实力和资金领域， NJMS校园。与当前应用相关的是标题为感染、免疫和炎症（I3）的轨道3。 这项培训补助金的目的是在一个独特的综合教育中培养一批博士预科生。 计划，在那里他们将接受尖端的实验室研究（免疫学， 炎症，免疫和分子微生物学），与临床和转化科学相结合。 新泽西医学院（NJMS）与生物医学科学研究生院（GSBS）一起， 独特的地位，建立这样一个综合方案，因为学校有很强的历史传染性 疾病研究和临床护理，以及在微生物学，免疫学， 和豁免权。基础和临床传染病学院有强大的研究资金和访问 优秀的基础研究和临床设施。继2013年罗格斯大学合并后，州立大学 新泽西大学，前新泽西医学和牙科大学，罗格斯生物医学健康 科学是创造出来的。新的RBHS总理对传染病做出了重大承诺 research.接受培训补助金的教师最近收到了数百万美元的巨额补助金-TBRU， CETR和ICIDR。Batish，我们的一名研究生获得了美国国立卫生研究院主任的早期 独立奖。Velaquez是I3赛道第一年的学生，他准备以两个 发表了论文和两个手稿的准备，并获得了两个非常有竞争力的研究 在她的论文工作期间获得奖学金。这证明我们的教师和学生有能力高- 水平成就。NJMS致力于教育代表性不足的少数民族，并建立了 西班牙裔卓越中心学校为该计划投入了大量资源，包括 PI基本工资的10%总括而言，资助金的目的是：i）招募有志于 传染病的职业; ii）提供与分子生物学相关的基础科学研究方面的强有力的培训 微生物学、免疫学、炎症和免疫; iii）加强基础研究培训， 通过专门设计的课程，加强传染病的临床和转化; iv）加强 基础和临床教师，以丰富学员的教育经验。综合方案 将使学员能够想出创造性的解决方案，以打击传染病的战争。
