Predoctoral Training in the Genetics of Development, Disease and Regeneration

项目总结/摘要 发展，疾病和再生培训计划的遗传学旨在促进广泛的 跨学科知识和职业发展的基础，使不同的人口， 学生将他们的培训应用于发育性疾病的研究和治疗。为了实现这一目标， GDDR计划以五个培训基础为基础：1）知识基础，2）研究技能和创新 技术，3）假设驱动的研究，4）沟通技巧和5）专业和职业 发展GDDR计划通过结合广泛的和 我们的教师的跨学科研究兴趣与培训计划，整合遗传学原理， 干细胞生物学的研究。30个资金充足， 培训教师来自10个基础科学和临床部门， 跨学科的环境。这项通过包容项目提供补充支助的建议旨在 为受训人员提供更好的机会，以获得资源和知识/技术专长，目前在Crnic 研究所和科罗拉多大学的Crnic超级小组，以使年轻科学家具备 进行严格和可重复研究所需的技术和专业技能，重点是 唐氏综合症。由该补充支助的受训人员将参加所有设计的活动， 为其他GDDR T32受训人员，从而通过整合Down 综合征主题和培训纳入更大的GDDR培训计划。我们要求三名学生 作为INCLUDE补充的一部分，支持一年。

PROJECT SUMMARY / ABSTRACT The Genetics of Development, Disease, and Regeneration Training Program seeks to foster a broad foundation of interdisciplinary knowledge and career development that empowers a diverse population of students to apply their training to the study and treatment of developmental diseases. To achieve this goal, the GDDR Program is grounded in five training fundamentals: 1) knowledge base, 2) research skills and innovative technology, 3) hypothesis-driven research, 4) communication skills and 5) professional and career development. The GDDR Program creates a unique training environment by combining the broad and interdisciplinary research interests of our faculty with a training plan that integrates genetic principles and mechanisms into the study of development and stem cell biology. Thirty well-funded and accomplished Training Faculty drawn from 10 basic science and clinical departments create a highly collaborative and interdisciplinary environment. This proposal for supplemental support through the INCLUDE Project seeks to provide trainees with better access to the resources and intellectual/technical expertise present in Crnic Institute and Crnic Supergroup at the University of Colorado, in order to equip young scientists with the technical and professional skills necessary to conduct rigorous and reproducible research with a focus on Down Syndrome. Trainees supported by this supplement will participate in all the activities that are designed for other GDDR T32 trainees, thereby amplifying the impact of supplement support by integrating Down syndrome topics and training into the larger GDDR Training Program. We request that three students be supported for one year as part of the INCLUDE supplement.
