DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Developmental biology is an interdisciplinary science, incorporating cell and molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry and whole-animal model systems at the leading edge of modern biomedical research. This Developmental Biology Training Grant (DBTG) application requests continued support for an interdepartmental Developmental Biology Training Program at the University of Utah. This Program has a strong track record of training exceptional predoctoral and postdoctoral scientists in the field of Developmental Biology. The Program consists of individualized research training under the guidance of 41 faculty members who work in one of six Ph.D. degree-granting departments within the University. The Program Director, Co-Director and Interdepartmental Advisory Committee select Trainees, monitor their progress, and organize Training Program activities. Training is provided in a broad range of areas including gene regulation, cell migration, cell differentiation, growth and morphogenesis, signal transduction, and developmental genetics. The participation of six departments, with leading researchers in multiple model organisms, provides a diverse interdisciplinary training environment in Developmental Biology. Prospective predoctoral trainees are admitted to graduate school through the Program in Molecular Biology or the Program in Neuroscience, which coordinate the core curriculum of the first year, or the MD/PhD Program, and compete for DBTG support in their second year. Postdoctoral trainees are selected from a highly competitive pool, based on excellence in research, a research proposal, and letters of recommendation. Program predoctoral trainees are supported for up to three years, and postdoctoral trainees are supported for up to two years. All trainees are required to take a Scientific Ethics course and an advanced course in developmental biology. Trainees learn scientific critical thinking and communication skills by participating in a Journal Club, participating and presenting a seminar in the Developmental Biology Discussion Group, giving a research-based talk at an Annual Training Program Retreat, and hosting outside seminar speakers. Program trainees learn grant writing through innovative grant/fellowship writing workshops. In addition, an individualized postdoctoral mentoring committee adds significant guidance and benefits to each postdoctoral trainee's career development. This training structure is supplemented with vigorous seminar programs and inter-laboratory research-in-progress group meetings to ensure that our trainees receive a strong training in developmental biology, preparing them to direct their own first-rate independent research programs.

描述（由申请人提供）：发育生物学是一门跨学科的科学，将细胞和分子生物学，遗传学，生物化学和整体动物模型系统纳入现代生物医学研究的前沿。这个发育生物学培训补助金（DBTG）申请要求继续支持犹他州大学的跨部门发育生物学培训计划。该计划在培养发育生物学领域的杰出博士前和博士后科学家方面有着良好的记录。该计划包括在41名教师的指导下进行个性化的研究培训，这些教师在六个博士学位之一工作。大学内的学位授予部门。方案主任、联合主任和部门间咨询委员会负责挑选受训人员，监督他们的进展，并组织培训方案活动。培训范围广泛，包括基因调控，细胞迁移，细胞分化，生长和形态发生，信号转导和发育遗传学。六个部门的参与，与多个模式生物的领先研究人员，提供了发育生物学的多元化跨学科培训环境。准博士生通过分子生物学或神经科学计划进入研究生院，该计划协调第一年的核心课程或MD/PhD计划，并在第二年竞争DBTG支持。博士后培训生是从竞争激烈的人才库中挑选出来的，基于卓越的研究，研究提案和推荐信。项目博士前培训生最多可获得三年的支持，博士后培训生最多可获得两年的支持。所有学员都必须参加科学道德课程和发育生物学高级课程。学员通过参加期刊俱乐部，参加并在发育生物学讨论组中举办研讨会，在年度培训计划务虚会上进行基于研究的演讲，以及主持外部研讨会演讲者来学习科学批判性思维和沟通技巧。计划学员通过创新的赠款/奖学金写作讲习班学习赠款写作。此外，个性化的博士后指导委员会为每个博士后学员的职业发展增加了重要的指导和好处。这种培训结构辅以有力的研讨会计划和实验室间的研究进展小组会议，以确保我们的学员接受发育生物学方面的强有力的培训，使他们能够指导自己的一流独立研究计划。
