Chemistry-Biochemistry-Biology Interface Training Program at Notre Dame

这是一个建议，建立一个机构NRSA培训计划的博士前学员在 圣母大学生物科学系、化学系和生物化学系。的 该计划的目的是培养一批高素质的博士前学生在跨学科 环境，这将为他们提供化学，生物化学， 和生物学。该计划的长期目标是准备我们的学员能够进行 独立的跨学科生物医学研究，在跨学科团队环境中有效工作， 在跨学科研究中培训他人。我们还旨在促进更高水平的互动， 生物学家、生物化学家和化学家之间的合作。 我们的研究培训计划的特点包括以下几点： 申请人数量庞大，由高素质的候选人组成 参与实验室之间的互动和合作的良好记录 由经验丰富、富有成效和联邦政府资助的调查人员组成的多元化和强大的团队， 担任研究导师 在选择论文导师之前为学生进行实验室轮换 在导师的实验室之外的扩展交叉培训经验 以研讨会、系列讲座、每月学员会议和年度培训班补充培训 撤退 通过个人咨询跟踪每个学员在实现研究培训目标方面的进展 委员会和项目指导委员会 持续评估和改进培训方案的机制， 发展、职业安置以及吸引和留住代表性不足的少数群体 配备最先进仪器的优秀研究设施 强大的机构承诺，圣母大学以1：1的比例提供奖学金 受训人员的比例和津贴补充

This is a proposal to establish an institutional NRSA training program for predoctoral trainees in the Departments of Biological Sciences and Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Notre Dame. The purpose of this program is to train a highly qualified group of predoctoral students in an interdisciplinary environment that will provide them with significant cross-training at the interface of chemistry, biochemistry, and biology. The long term goals of this program are to prepare our trainees to be able to conduct independent interdisciplinary biomedical research, to work effectively in an interdisciplinary team setting, and to train others in interdisciplinary research. We also aim to foster a greater level of interaction and collaboration between biologists, biochemists, and chemists. The characteristics of our research training program include the following: ¿ A large applicant pool of highly qualified candidates ¿ A strong record of interactions and collaborations between participating laboratories ¿ A diverse and strong group of experienced, productive, and federally-funded investigators available to serve as research mentors Laboratory rotations for students prior to selection of a thesis mentor ¿ An extended cross-training experience outside the mentor's laboratory Supplementation of training with seminars, lecture series, monthly trainee meetings, and an annual retreat Tracking of each trainee's progress towards their research training goals by an individual advisory committee and by the program's steering committee Mechanisms for continuous evaluation and improvement of the training program, professional development, career placement, and attraction and retention of underrepresented minorities Excellent research facilities equipped with state-of-the-art instrumentation Strong institutional commitment, with the University of Notre Dame providing a fellowship match in a 1:1 ratio and stipend supplementation of trainees
