DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Chemistry-Biochemistry-Biology Interface (CBBI) Program at the University of Notre Dame is an established NIH-funded program, which trains graduate students in a multidisciplinary environment and provides them with significant training in a cross-discipline at the interface of chemistry, biochemistry, and biology. The goal of the CBBI Program is to produce Ph.D. scientists who have in-depth training in the student's core discipline, cross-discipline training to work effectively at the interface, and enhanced interdisciplinary communication skills. The CBBI Program has been successful and has established an outstanding training environment for our Ph.D. students. During the past four years, we have trained 25 students (who were recipients of 41 one-year fellowships, 18 provided by the NIH and 23 by Notre Dame in matching support of this training grant), including 4 underrepresented minorities (URMs). Six trainees have completed the program with Ph.D. degrees, an additional 5 trainees will be receiving their Ph.D. degrees in 2011, and the remaining trainees are on track to complete their Ph.D. degrees. The characteristics of the CBBI Program include: a large applicant pool of highly qualified candidates, a strong record of collaborative and multidisciplinary research, a diverse and strong group of experienced, productive, and federally-funded investigators available to serve as research mentors, a hallmark extended cross-disciplinary research internship outside the mentor's laboratory, training supplementation with multidisciplinary seminars, trainee meetings, and an annual symposium, experienced and effective program administration, mechanisms for continuous evaluation and improvement of the training program, professional development and career placement, a summer research program to attract and retain underrepresented minorities, excellent research facilities, and strong institutional commitment. We propose to continue to train Ph.D. scientists with the skills and expertise to solve complex biomedical problems, regardless of discipline. The University of Notre Dame enthusiastically supports this training program, and will continue to provide a generous fellowship match and additional funds in support of the CBBI Program upon its funding renewal by the NIH.

描述（由申请人提供）：化学-生物化学-生物学接口（CBBI）计划在圣母大学是一个既定的NIH资助的计划，培养研究生在多学科的环境，并为他们提供重要的培训在化学，生物化学和生物学的接口交叉学科。CBBI计划的目标是培养博士。科学家谁在学生的核心学科，跨学科的培训，以有效地在接口工作，并加强跨学科的沟通能力的深入培训。CBBI计划取得了成功，并为我们的博士建立了出色的培训环境。学生在过去的四年里，我们培训了25名学生（他们获得了41项一年期奖学金，其中18项由NIH提供，23项由圣母大学提供，以匹配这项培训补助金的支持），其中包括4名代表性不足的少数族裔（URM）。六名学员已完成博士学位课程。学位，另外5名学员将获得博士学位。2011年获得博士学位，其余的受训人员也将顺利完成博士学位。度CBBI计划的特点包括：一个高素质的候选人，协作和多学科研究的强大记录，一个多样化的和强大的经验丰富，富有成效的，联邦资助的调查员可作为研究导师，导师实验室外的标志性扩展跨学科研究实习，培训补充多学科研讨会，实习生会议，和一个年度研讨会，经验丰富和有效的计划管理，培训计划的持续评估和改进机制，专业发展和职业安置，夏季研究计划，以吸引和留住代表性不足的少数民族，优秀的研究设施，以及强大的机构承诺。我们建议继续培养博士。拥有解决复杂生物医学问题的技能和专业知识的科学家，无论学科如何。圣母大学热情支持这一培训计划，并将继续提供慷慨的奖学金比赛和额外的资金，以支持CBBI计划后，其资金更新由NIH。
