DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is for a National Research Service Award in Cellular, Biochemical, and Molecular Sciences to train six predoctoral students for the Ph.D. degree at the Watson School of Biological Sciences at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. The Watson School provides broad training in the biological sciences including genetics, cellular and molecular biology, biochemistry and biophysics, structural biology, developmental biology, cancer, neuroscience, virology, protein chemistry, cell cycle regulation, plant genetics, electrophysiology, behavior, imaging, bioinformatics, and genomics. The School has designed an innovative Ph.D. curriculum to train future leaders in the biological sciences. Our innovative doctoral program includes the following key features: (i) approximately four years from matriculation to Ph.D., (ii) a broad representation of the biological sciences, (iii) a first year with course work and laboratory rotations in separate phases, (iv) emphasis on the principles of scientific reasoning and logic as well as the importance of ethics and effective communication, (v) continued advanced course instruction throughout the graduate curriculum, (vi) extensive mentoring and support in large part through our "two-tier" mentoring program. The doctoral program that the School has developed to meet its goals is intense and is designed for students with a deep commitment to their graduate education. There have been two graduating classes thus far where six doctoral degrees were awarded in each case. Overall for the twelve graduates the average time to degree was 4.25 years, with four of the graduates completing their doctoral studies in less than four years. Although we are still a very young School we believe that the scientific research achievements of our trainees have been outstanding, as evidenced by the quality and number of their publications the Awards and Fellowships they have obtained and their post graduation placements.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案是为细胞，生物化学和分子科学的国家研究服务奖，以培养六名博士生的博士学位。在冷泉港实验室的沃森生物科学学院获得学位。沃森学院提供广泛的生物科学培训，包括遗传学，细胞和分子生物学，生物化学和生物物理学，结构生物学，发育生物学，癌症，神经科学，病毒学，蛋白质化学，细胞周期调控，植物遗传学，电生理学，行为，成像，生物信息学和基因组学。学校设计了一个创新的博士学位。该课程旨在培养生物科学领域的未来领导者。我们的创新博士课程包括以下主要特点：（一）从预科到博士大约四年，(ii)生物科学的广泛代表性，（iii）第一年的课程工作和实验室轮换在不同的阶段，（iv）强调科学推理和逻辑的原则以及道德和有效沟通的重要性，（v）在整个研究生课程中继续进行高级课程教学，（vi）在很大程度上通过我们的“双层”指导计划提供广泛的指导和支持。该学院为实现其目标而开发的博士课程是激烈的，专为对研究生教育有深刻承诺的学生而设计。迄今为止，有两个毕业班，每个班都获得了六个博士学位。总体而言，12名毕业生的平均学位时间为4.25年，其中4名毕业生在不到4年的时间内完成了博士学业。虽然我们仍然是一个非常年轻的学校，我们相信，我们的学员的科研成就已经突出，证明了他们的出版物的质量和数量，他们获得的奖项和奖学金，以及他们的毕业后安置。
