Genetics Cellular and Molecular Sciences Training Grant

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的遗传学，细胞和分子科学培训补助金（GCMSTG）的目标是在分子科学领域提供全面，相关和引人入胜的博士前培训，涵盖从原子分辨率到大分子，到细胞及其结构，再到细胞和组织群体的一系列尺度。来自印第安纳大学生物学、生物化学和化学系以及医学科学项目的56个培训学院，涵盖了广泛的专业知识和研究兴趣，包括生物化学、发育、细胞生物学、微生物学、分子遗传学、结构生物学和分子进化等不同学科。受训者有机会参与到一个高度协作和刺激的智力环境中，由一个庞大的、综合的教师提供便利，他们跨越了生命科学研究的巨大广度。学员参加的核心课程旨在从初级研究的角度教授分子科学。有关文献分析、拨款写作、教学和道德的课程，以及培养演讲技巧的机会，是对核心课程的补充。学员通过高级课程培养他们的特定兴趣。在整个学习过程中，学生受到培训学院、TG委员会和论文委员会的广泛指导。具体的培训奖助金活动，包括年度专题讨论会、每月见习会议、差旅支援、与来访的研讨会演讲者会面的机会，以增进他们的经验，并创造丰富的学术环境。通过GCMSTG支持的许多学生来自生物系的分子、生物学和遗传学研究生项目，尽管也有相当数量的以分子生物学为重点的学员将得到生物学生态学、进化和行为项目以及跨学科生物化学和医学科学研究生项目的支持。在培养博士预科学生方面有着悠久而杰出的历史，这些学生将在学术和工业生命科学领域发展成功和富有成效的职业生涯。重新提交的提案要求继续提供16个培训职位，我们将通过这些职位促进和加强这一传统。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the proposed Genetics, Cellular and Molecular Sciences Training Grant (GCMSTG) is to provide comprehensive, relevant and engaging pre-doctoral training in the molecular sciences across a range of scales from atomic resolution, through macromolecules, to the cell and its structure, and to populations of cells and tissues. Fifty six Training Faculties from the Indiana University Biology, Biochemistry and Chemistry departments and the Medical Sciences Program, cover a broad range of expertise and research interests that encompass diverse disciplines including biochemistry, development, cell biology, microbiology, molecular genetics, structural biology, and molecular evolution. Trainees have the opportunity to engage in the highly collaborative and stimulating intellectual environment facilitated by a large, integrated faculty who span a tremendous breadth of life science research. Trainees enroll in a core curriculum designed to teach molecular science from a primary research perspective. Courses on literature analysis, grant writing, teaching and ethics, plus opportunities to develop presentation skills complement the core curriculum. Trainees cultivate their specific interests with advanced coursework. Throughout their studies, students are extensively mentored by the Training Faculty, the TG Committee and their thesis committees. Specific training grant activities including a yearly symposium, a monthly trainee meeting, travel support, and opportunities to meet with visiting seminar speakers, enhance their experience, and create a rich intellectual environment. Many students supported though the GCMSTG are from the Molecular, Biology and Genetics graduate program in the Biology Department, although a significant number of trainees with a molecular biological focus will also be supported from the Ecology, Evolution and Behavior program in Biology, and the Interdisciplinary Biochemistry and Medical Sciences graduate programs. The lU GCMSTG has a long and outstanding track record of training pre-doctoral students, who go on to develop successful and productive careers in academic and industrial life science sectors. This resubmitted proposal requests continuation of 16 training positions, through which we will contribute to and enhance this tradition. RELEVANCE: The lU GCMS TG enables talented pre-doctoral students to realize their potential and develop into outstanding life scientists, contributing to human health and society at many different levels. Comprehensive coursework, careful mentoring, advanced facilities, intensive scientific discourse and teaching, creates a program in which dedicated students thrive, and propel their careers forward into the biomedical sciences.
