Training in Genomics and Proteomics Technologies

描述（由申请人提供）：此申请是为了支持基因组学和蛋白质组学及相关技术领域的培训计划。在之前的资助期间，我们在该领域建立了一个培训计划，支持6 - 7名博士生和3名博士后。博士预科生拥有相关领域的学士学位，包括生物科学和/或计算机科学。学生通过大学范围内的联合招聘计划进入。他们参加该领域的相关课程，并将由教师咨询委员会和监督整个项目的执行委员会密切建议。学生将从32名G&P教师中选择一名论文指导老师进行论文研究。博士预科生预计需要5-6年时间完成论文研究。在他们的研究结束时，他们在这个领域应该是多才多艺的。博士后将在相关领域获得博士学位，并直接加入G&P学院实验室。他们将得到密切指导，以获得基因组学和蛋白质组学及相关技术方面的适当培训。预计在完成培训后，他们将开始独立的研究生涯。该计划的重要特点包括参与者（博士生、博士后和教职员工）的月度会议和相关的基因组学和蛋白质组学研讨会，这些研讨会积极吸引学员参与。开展少数民族研修生吸引和留住专项项目，开展民族道德教育项目。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is to support a training program in the area of Genomics and Proteomics and related technologies. During the previous funding period we have established a training program in this area that supports six-seven predoctoral students and three postdoctoral fellows. Predoctoral trainees have a Bachelor's degree in a relevant field including the biological sciences and/or computer science. Students enter through a combined University-wide recruiting program. They take relevant courses in the area and will be closely advised by a faculty advising committee and an Executive Committee that oversees the entire program. Students will select a thesis advisor from among the thirty two faculty G&P trainers for their dissertation research. It is expected that predoctoral trainees will require 5-6 years for completion of their thesis research. At the end of their research they should be versatile in the field. Postdoctoral fellows will have a Ph.D. in a relevant field and directly join a G&P faculty laboratory. They will be closely mentored to obtain appropriate training in genomics and proteomics and relevant technologies. It is expected that upon completion of their training they will embark on an independent research career. Important features of the program include monthly meetings of the participants (predoctoral fellows, postdoctoral fellows and faculty) and relevant symposia in Genomics and Proteomics that actively involves the trainees. There will also be special programs for attracting and retaining minority trainees, and educational programs for ethical issues.
