Chemistry-Biology Interface Training Program

描述(由申请人提供)：化学生物学接口培训计划(CBIT)为威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的研究生提供培训经验，旨在让他们应用跨学科的方法和想法取得重大突破。这个项目有两个相互关联的目标。首先是培养研究生解决超越化学和生物传统界限的合成和机械问题。通过这种方式，受训者将为通过创新方法阐明人类健康的关键问题的职业生涯做好准备。第二是提供职业咨询和援助，让学员能够利用他们的培训和技能来最大限度地发挥他们的影响。这些目标是通过为研究生实习生提供独特的培训计划来实现的。此次续签要求每年为12名博士前实习生提供支持；每个实习生将被任命参加该项目，最长可达三年。CBIT学员报名参加三门课程，包括化学生物学领域的教学课程，向研究生介绍化学和生物学交叉领域的研究和概念；高级化学生物学文献研讨会课程，学生在该课程中介绍和讨论该领域的最新关键出版物；以及研究研讨会，学员在该课程中展示他们的个人研究成果。通过这个项目，CBIT学员获得了分析文献、撰写补助金和同行评议的经验。他们还通过提供不同类型的演讲并就如何提高演讲的有效性接受广泛的反馈来发展他们的口头交流技能。CBIT的另一个关键要素是为所有学员提供职业建议和发展，这是通过制定个人发展计划和参加新实施的中西部化学生物界面职业发展会议来实现的。最后，CBIT实习生将有机会参加为期10至12周的实习。这一功能的目标是让他们沉浸在一个环境中，提供与研究型大学不同的相关环境中的直接体验。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Chemistry Biology Interface Training Program (CBIT) provides graduate students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a training experience designed to allow them to apply interdisciplinary approaches and ideas to make major breakthroughs. This project has two inter-related objectives. The first is to train graduate students to address synthetic and mechanistic problems that transcend the traditional boundaries of chemistry and biology. In this way, trainees will be prepared for careers in which they illuminate key issues in human health through innovative approaches. The second is to provide career advice and assistance so that trainees can use their training and skills to maximize their impact. These objectives are achieved through the unique training plan offered graduate student trainees. This renewal requests support for twelve predoctoral trainees per year; each trainee will be appointed to the program for up to three years. CBIT trainees enroll in three courses including a didactic course in the field of chemical biology that introduces graduate students to research and concepts at the intersection of chemistry and biology, an advanced literature seminar course in chemical biology where students present and discuss recent key publications in the field, and a research seminar in which trainees present their personal research results. Through this program, CBIT trainees receive experience in analysis of the literature, grant writing, and peer review. They also develop their oral communication skills through giving different types of presentations and receiving extensive feedback on how to enhance the effectiveness of their presentations. Another key element of the CBIT is career advising and development for all trainees, which occurs through the creation of individual development plans and participation in a newly implemented Midwest Chemistry Biology Interface Career Development Conference. Finally, CBIT trainees benefit from the opportunity to participate in a 10-12-week internship. The goal of this feature is to immerse them in an environment that provides direct experience in a relevant setting distinct from a research university.
