Project Summary Training at the chemistry biology interface at Johns Hopkins University will be made possible by an independent Ph.D.-granting program that will nucleate a vibrant community of 31 faculty spanning 4 schools and 9 departments. Together, these faculty share a common approach of applying chemical principles and methods to problems of profound importance to biology and medicine. The program offers opportunities to develop research skills applicable over a wide range of dimensions, from single molecules to complex macromolecular assemblies to whole cells. Laboratories are well funded and focus on mentoring graduate students in rigorous, ethical and independent design and interpretation of experiments in preparation for leadership roles in biomedical research. The highly collaborative nature of Johns Hopkins provides students with access to many faculty and a robust infrastructure of instrumentation and expertise. Prospective students will be actively recruited from across the country to generate a highly qualified pool of applicants that draw from small colleges, large universities, minority serving institutions and historically black colleges and universities. Admission relies on a holistic review of applicants' dedication to science, research experience, perseverance and academic success within the context of available opportunities. Both diversity and inclusion are core values of this program. A target of seven students will matriculate annually with support from the training grant. A matching number of positions will be provided by the university to support students in their second year before obtaining fellowships and assistantships for the remainder of the program. Annual cohorts will share a common core curriculum created to reinforce a strong foundation in chemistry while building an aptitude for the biological sciences through a rich selection of electives. A series of three laboratory rotations across different departments will ensure a breadth of experience in research prior to selection of a thesis advisor. Students will join together monthly for meetings on research and professional topics and yearly for student-hosted seminars and a retreat. Training progress of each student will be monitored carefully by a thesis committee to assure a growing proficiency in independent and reproducible experimental design, keen observation, precise data analysis and critical interpretation. Professional development will be enriched by a new course in literature evaluation, proposal writing and public presentation and another course on career planning. The goals of this train program foster original research contributions of high impact while preparing young scientists for sustained success in their chosen career related to research.

项目摘要 约翰霍普金斯大学化学生物学接口的培训将通过以下方式实现 一个独立的博士授予项目，将形成一个由31名教职员工组成的充满活力的社区 4所学校和9个系。总之，这些教员共享一种共同的应用化学物质的方法。 对生物学和医学具有深远意义的问题的原理和方法。该计划 提供机会培养广泛适用的研究技能，从单一的 从分子到复杂的大分子组装到整个细胞。实验室资金充足，而且 专注于指导研究生进行严格、道德和独立的设计和解释 为在生物医学研究中担任领导角色做准备的实验。高度协作的 约翰·霍普金斯大学的性质使学生能够接触到许多教职员工和强大的基础设施 仪器设备和专业知识。 未来的学生将从全国范围内积极招募，以产生高度 从小型学院、大型大学、少数族裔服务的合格申请者池 机构和历史上的黑人学院和大学。录取依赖于对 申请人对科学的奉献精神、研究经验、毅力和学术成就 可用商机的上下文。多样性和包容性都是这一计划的核心价值观。一个 在培训补助金的支持下，每年录取7名学生的目标是。相匹配的 该大学将提供一些职位来支持二年级的学生。 为该计划的其余部分获得奖学金和助学金。年度队列将分享 创建共同的核心课程，以加强化学基础，同时建立 通过丰富的选修课培养学生在生物科学方面的能力。一系列三个实验室 跨不同部门的轮换将确保在研究之前拥有广泛的经验 论文导师的选拔。学生们将每月聚在一起参加关于研究和 专业主题和年度学生主办的研讨会和务虚会。 每个学生的培训进度将由论文委员会仔细监测，以确保 日益精通独立和可重复性的实验设计，敏锐的观察力，精确度 数据分析和关键解释。一门新课程将丰富职业发展 在文献评估、提案写作和公开演讲以及另一门关于职业的课程中 计划。该培训计划的目标是培养高影响力的原创性研究贡献，同时 为青年科学家在他们选择的与研究有关的职业中取得持续成功做好准备。
