DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The challenge of drug-resistant microbes requires that a new generation of basic scientists be broadly trained and educated in anti-infective research so that a cadre of investigators will be available in the future to combat this global health problem. Coupled with the problem of resistance, this need is especially acute given the reduced number of new, effective antibiotics that have entered clinical practice in the past two decades. Thus, the objective of this new training grant at Emory University is to provide high quality training to a select group of highly motivated graduate students for careers as independent investigators in research on anti- infectives. The program will select three PhD candidates yearly from four graduate programs within the Graduate Division of Biological and Biomedical Sciences of Emory University for a two year period of training in the areas of antimicrobial resistance and therapeutic discovery. These graduate programs include faculty members from basic science and clinical departments of the School of Medicine, Emory College of Arts and Sciences and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Educational training will consist of a course of study and programmatic events in sub-disciplines that emphasize research and education in anti-infective resistance and drug development; research training opportunities are provided in 25 laboratories with active research programs in these areas of research.

描述（由申请人提供）：耐药微生物的挑战要求新一代基础科学家在抗感染研究方面接受广泛的培训和教育，以便将来能够有一批研究人员来应对这一全球健康问题。再加上耐药性问题，鉴于过去二十年进入临床实践的新型有效抗生素数量减少，这种需求尤为迫切。因此，埃默里大学这项新培训补助金的目标是为一批积极进取的研究生提供高质量的培训，以使其成为抗感染研究的独立研究者。该项目每年将从埃默里大学生物和生物医学科学研究生部的四个研究生项目中选拔三名博士生，接受为期两年的抗菌素耐药性和治疗发现领域的培训。这些研究生项目包括来自医学院基础科学和临床部门、埃默里艺术与科学学院以及疾病控制和预防中心 (CDC) 的教职人员。教育培训将包括子学科的学习课程和计划活动，强调抗感染耐药性和药物开发方面的研究和教育； 25 个实验室在这些研究领域开展了积极的研究项目，提供研究培训机会。
