DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Support is requested to continue a multidisciplinary predoctoral training program in Molecular and Cellular Biology at Dartmouth. The trainees and trainers in the "Molecular and Cellular Biology at Dartmouth" Training Program (MCBD) are selected from Dartmouth's largest and most diverse life science graduate program, the Molecular and Cellular Biology (MCB) graduate program. The MCB graduate program is an interdepartmental, interdisciplinary program with 155 students that spans nine different academic departments at Dartmouth College, Dartmouth Medical School, and the Thayer School of Engineering. The MCB graduate program regularly matriculates 25-30 students per year who are selected from highly qualified national and international pools of applicants that are rich in both ethnic and racial diversity. Eight predoctoral trainees for the MCBD Training Program are selected for two years of support based upon their academic qualifications and must satisfy the diverse and rigorous MCB graduate program curriculum that includes a three-term core course, three 10-week research rotations, three elective courses, one term of teaching, participation in journal clubs and seminars, training in responsible conduct of research, a written and oral qualifying exam, a yearly Research in Progress seminar, and the completion of a significant research project that forms the foundation of a written thesis that is orally defended. Faculty in the MCBD Training Program include 48 extramurally funded faculty who are elected based on the strength of their research programs and their demonstrated commitment to participating in the activities necessary for effective predoctoral training. The research areas of the faculty are broad and interdisciplinary to support the development of the trainees and include bioinformatics, cell biology, developmental biology, immunology, molecular pathogenesis, neurobiology, gene expression, signal transduction, cellular metabolism, proteomics, and structural biology. It is through the dedication and expertise of the faculty and the rigorous curriculum that the MCBD Training Program reaches the goal of recruiting and training the next generation of outstanding young scientists for productive careers in the biomedical sciences.

描述(由申请者提供)：达特茅斯大学分子和细胞生物学多学科博士前培训计划的继续申请支持。“达特茅斯分子和细胞生物学”培训项目(MCBD)的学员和培训师是从达特茅斯最大和最多样化的生命科学研究生项目--分子和细胞生物学(MCB)研究生项目中挑选出来的。MCB研究生计划是一个跨部门、跨学科的计划，有155名学生，横跨达特茅斯学院、达特茅斯医学院和塞耶工程学院的九个不同的学术部门。MCB研究生课程每年定期招收25-30名学生，他们是从高素质的国内和国际申请者中挑选出来的，这些申请者具有丰富的族裔和种族多样性。MCBD培训计划的八名博士前实习生根据他们的学历被选为为期两年的支持，并且必须满足多样化和严格的MCB研究生计划课程，其中包括三个学期的核心课程，三个10周的研究轮换，三个选修课，一个学期的教学，参加期刊俱乐部和研讨会，负责任的研究行为培训，一次书面和口头资格考试，每年一次的研究进展研讨会，以及完成一项重要的研究项目，该项目构成口头辩护的书面论文的基础。MCBD培训计划中的教师包括48名外部资助的教师，他们是根据他们的研究计划的优势和他们对参与有效博士前培训所需活动的承诺而当选的。该学院的研究领域广泛且跨学科，以支持受训人员的发展，包括生物信息学、细胞生物学、发育生物学、免疫学、分子发病机制、神经生物学、基因表达、信号转导、细胞代谢、蛋白质组学和结构生物学。正是通过教师的奉献精神和专业知识以及严格的课程，MCBD培训计划实现了招募和培训下一代杰出的年轻科学家在生物医学科学领域从事富有成效的职业生涯的目标。
