Cellular, Biochemical and Molecular Sciences Training Program

该提案要求继续支持细胞、生物化学和分子科学(CBMS) 范德比尔特大学的培训项目。我们描述了(1)一个由100名生物医学研究人员组成的团队 Vanderbilt的部门和我们的联盟合作伙伴Meharry医学院，他们积极参与 建立信任措施研究，(2)涉及范德比尔特跨学科研究生方案(IGP)的机制 招募和确定高素质的实习生；(3)为CBMS学生提供非凡的机构支持 和教职员工。该培训方案在建立信任措施的目标领域采用广泛的授课、跨学科培训， 严格的专业培训选修课，每周的日记俱乐部会议，年度研究务虚会， 最重要的是，深入的实验室研究经验。 在过去的几年里，我们非常成功地招募了优秀的学生加入IGP 和CBMS培训计划，特别是来自科学界代表性不足的群体的学生。许多人 过去几年的行政和方案倡议促成了这一成功，也是一个好兆头。 为了继续取得成功。

This proposal requests continuing support for a Cellular, Biochemical, and Molecular Sciences (CBMS) training program at Vanderbilt University. We describe (1) a group of 100 faculty from biomedical research departments at Vanderbilt and our Alliance partner, Meharry Medical College, who are actively engaged in CBMS research, (2) a mechanism involving the Vanderbilt Interdisciplinary Graduate Program (IGP) for recruiting and identifying high caliber trainees, and (3) extraordinary institutional support for CBMS students and faculty. The training program utilizes broad didactic, interdisciplinarytraining in CBMS target areas, rigorous, elective courses for specialized training, weeklyjournal club meetings, an annual research retreat, and most importantly, in depth, laboratory research experience. Over the past several years, we have been remarkably successful recruiting excellent students into the IGP and the CBMS training program, particularly students from groups underrepresented in science. Many of the administrative and programmatic initiatives over the past years have contributed to this success and bode well for continuing success.
