DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a proposal to establish an institutional NRSA training program for predoctoral trainees in the Departments of Biological Sciences and Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Notre Dame. The purpose of this program is to train a highly qualified group of predoctoral students in an interdisciplinary environment that will provide them with significant cross-training at the interface of chemistry, biochemistry, and biology. The long term goals of this program are to prepare our trainees to be able to conduct independent interdisciplinary biomedical research, to work effectively in an interdisciplinary team setting, and to train others in interdisciplinary research. We also aim to foster a greater level of interaction and collaboration between biologists, biochemists, and chemists. The characteristics of our research training program include the following: A large applicant pool of highly qualified candidates A strong record of interactions and collaborations between participating laboratories A diverse and strong group of experienced, productive, and federally-funded investigators available to serve as research mentors Laboratory rotations for students prior to selection of a thesis mentor An extended cross-training experience outside the mentor's laboratory Supplementation of training with seminars, lecture series, monthly trainee meetings, and an annual retreat Tracking of each trainee's progress towards their research training goals by an individual advisory committee and by the program's steering committee Mechanisms for continuous evaluation and improvement of the training program, professional development, career placement, and attraction and retention of underrepresented minorities Excellent research facilities equipped with state-of-the-art instrumentation Strong institutional commitment, with the University of Notre Dame providing a fellowship match in a 1:1 ratio and stipend supplementation of trainees

描述（由申请人提供）：这是一个建议，建立一个机构NRSA培训计划，在生物科学和化学和生物化学在圣母大学的部门的博士前学员。 该计划的目的是在跨学科的环境中培养一批高素质的博士前学生，为他们提供化学，生物化学和生物学接口的重要交叉培训。 该计划的长期目标是培养我们的学员能够进行独立的跨学科生物医学研究，在跨学科团队环境中有效工作，并在跨学科研究中培训其他人。 我们还旨在促进生物学家，生物化学家和化学家之间更高水平的互动和合作。 我们的研究培训计划的特点包括以下几点：一个由高素质候选人组成的大型申请人库参与实验室之间的互动和合作的良好记录一个多元化和强大的经验丰富，富有成效，和联邦资助的调查人员可作为研究导师实验室轮换学生之前，选择论文导师一个扩展的交叉-导师实验室外的培训经验通过研讨会、系列讲座、每月学员会议和年度务虚会对培训进行补充由个人咨询委员会和项目指导委员会跟踪每个学员实现其研究培训目标的进展持续评估和改进培训项目的机制，专业发展，职业安置，以及吸引和保留代表性不足的少数民族优秀的研究设施配备了最先进的仪器强大的机构承诺，与圣母大学提供奖学金匹配1：1的比例和津贴补充的学员
