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 在约翰霍普金斯大学的化学生物学接口培训将成为可能， 独立的博士学位授予计划，这将成为一个充满活力的社区31教师跨越 4所学校和9个部门。总之，这些教师有一个共同的方法，应用化学 对生物学和医学具有深远意义的问题的原理和方法。程序 提供机会，以发展研究技能适用于广泛的层面，从单一的 分子到复杂的大分子组装体再到整个细胞。实验室资金充足， 专注于指导研究生在严谨，道德和独立的设计和解释 准备在生物医学研究中担任领导角色。高度合作 约翰霍普金斯的性质为学生提供了许多教师和强大的基础设施 仪器和专业知识。 未来的学生将积极招募来自全国各地，以产生一个高度 合格的申请人池，从小型学院，大型大学，少数民族服务 机构和历史悠久的黑人学院和大学。入学依赖于对以下内容的全面审查： 申请人对科学的奉献精神，研究经验，毅力和学术成就 现有机会的背景。多样性和包容性是该计划的核心价值观。一 目标是每年有7名学生在培训补助金的支助下入学。匹配 大学将提供一些职位，以支持学生在他们的第二年， 获得奖学金和助学金的计划的其余部分。年度队列将共享 一个共同的核心课程，旨在加强化学的坚实基础，同时建立一个 通过丰富的选修课选择生物科学的能力。三个实验室 不同部门的轮换将确保在研究之前获得广泛的经验， 选择一位论文导师。学生们将每月参加一次研究会议， 专业主题和每年为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控，以确保 日益熟练的独立和可重复的实验设计、敏锐的观察力、精确的 数据分析和批判性解释。专业发展将通过新课程丰富 在文学评估，提案写作和公开演讲和另一门课程的职业生涯 规划该培训计划的目标是促进具有高影响力的原创研究贡献，同时 为青年科学家在其选择的与研究有关的职业中取得持续成功做好准备。
