Abstract The Chemistry-Biochemistry-Biology Interface (CBBI) Program at the University of Notre Dame is an established NIH-funded program that supports the training of diverse pool of scientists who conduct multidisciplinary research at the interface of chemistry and biology-related disciplines. The goal of the CBBI Program is to produce PhD scientists who work effectively at the interface of chemistry and biology and who are able to speak the language of two or more disciplines. The CBBI Program has established an outstanding training environment for our predoctoral trainees. Since 2007 we have trained 84 students, 57 of whom have completed PhD degrees in an average of 5.14 years (time to PhD degree from CBBI trainees is 4.98 in the past 10 years) with 19 still in training. Of these 84, 16 are underrepresented minorities (URMs), 10 of whom have already received PhD degrees. Our 84 trainees have 362 publications, of which 159 are first-author publications. This represents 4.3 publications per trainee and 1.9 first-author publications per trainee. The 16 URMs have produced 79 publications, of which 31 are first-author publications; this represents 4.9 publications per URM and 1.9 first- author publications per URM. During the past 14 years, our attrition rate has been low, with only eight of 84 trainees (9.5%) who did not complete a PhD degree. The key highlights of the CBBI Program are: 1) a large and diverse pool of highly qualified candidates; 2) a strong track record of collaborative and multidisciplinary research by both trainees and mentors; 3) a diverse faculty group that serves as research mentors and are experienced, productive, and federally-funded; 4) an intensive, cross-disciplinary research internship in the other field outside the mentor’s laboratory; 5) multidisciplinary seminars that supplement training; 6) individual and group meetings with trainees; 7) the annual CBBI symposium that features both oral and poster presentations at the chemistry- biology interface; 8) program administration with an established track record of training students at the chemistry- biology interface; 9) a plan and mechanism for continuous evaluation and refinement of the training program; 10) professional development and career placement; 11) outstanding research facilities; and 12) a strong institutional commitment. We propose to continue to train PhD scientists with the skills and expertise to solve challenging biomedical problems, regardless of discipline. The University of Notre Dame enthusiastically supports this training program, and will continue to provide a generous fellowship match to the CBBI Program and additional resources, including the cost of the research internship for all trainees, upon renewal of funding by the NIH.

抽象的 圣母大学的化学-生物化学-生物学接口 (CBBI) 项目是一个 建立了美国国立卫生研究院 (NIH) 资助的计划，支持培训不同的科学家，他们进行 化学和生物学相关学科交叉的多学科研究。 CBBI的目标 该计划旨在培养能够在化学和生物学领域有效工作的博士科学家 能够讲两个或多个学科的语言。 CBBI项目建立了出色的培训 我们的博士前培训生的环境。自2007年以来，我们已培训了84名学生，其中57人完成了 平均5.14年获得博士学位（CBBI学员近10年获得博士学位时间为4.98年） 其中19人仍在训练中。在这 84 个群体中，有 16 个是代表性不足的少数群体 (URM)，其中 10 个已经 获得博士学位。我们的 84 名学员发表了 362 篇出版物，其中 159 篇为第一作者出版物。这 每位受训者发表 4.3 篇出版物，每位受训者发表 1.9 篇第一作者出版物。 16 个 URM 已产生 发表论文79篇，其中第一作者论文31篇；这意味着每个 URM 发表 4.9 篇论文，其中 1.9 篇首次发表 每个 URM 的作者出版物。在过去 14 年里，我们的员工流失率很低，84 名员工中只有 8 名 未完成博士学位的实习生（9.5%）。 CBBI 计划的主要亮点是： 1) 规模庞大且 多元化的高素质候选人库； 2) 协作和多学科研究的良好记录 由学员和导师共同制定； 3）作为研究导师且经验丰富的多元化教师团队， 富有成效且由联邦政府资助； 4）在外部其他领域进行密集的、跨学科的研究实习 导师的实验室； 5）补充培训的多学科研讨会； 6）个人和小组会议 与实习生一起； 7) 年度 CBBI 研讨会，以化学会议上的口头和海报展示为特色 生物界面； 8) 项目管理，具有在化学领域培训学生的既定记录- 生物界面； 9）持续评估和完善培训计划的计划和机制； 10) 职业发展和职业安置； 11）优秀的研究设施； 12) 强大的 机构承诺。我们建议继续培训博士科学家，使其具备解决问题​​的技能和专业知识 挑战生物医学问题，无论学科如何。圣母大学热情高涨 支持该培训计划，并将继续为 CBBI 计划提供慷慨的奖学金匹配 以及续订资助后的额外资源，包括所有学员的研究实习费用 由美国国立卫生研究院。
