Virology Training Program

这是威斯康星大学在该地区重新提交的一项新的培训拨款申请 病毒学。病毒研究是科学界的一个重要热点领域。获得有关病毒的知识 导致了对基本细胞过程的许多基本见解，如复制、转录、 翻译、致癌机制和宿主免疫。病毒是重要的病原体 给人类带来极大的痛苦和死亡。在威斯康星大学，病毒学是一个主要的重点研究领域， 有19个资金雄厚的病毒学教授研究各种各样的病毒，这些病毒来自感染植物和昆虫的病毒 导致人类癌症的病毒和导致新出现的疾病的病毒，如埃博拉病毒和新病毒株 流感病毒。在麦迪逊开发综合病毒学培训计划的努力开始了15年多 几年前，随着麦迪逊病毒学项目的建立。这项新的培训拨款申请反映了我们的 共同目标是为感兴趣的博士后和博士后学员进一步制定出色的培训计划 在这个校园里病毒学的方方面面。 我们新培训计划活动的亮点包括广泛的病毒学课程，校园范围内的 每周分子病毒学研讨会系列，由所有有特定指导的培训者和学员参加 与之相关的活动，每月实习生数据俱乐部，职业发展的多方面方法， 强调获得写作助学金和手稿以及口头演示的技能，培训 伦理，以及一年一度的项目范围的病毒学务虚会。博士后和博士后学员将被要求 参加所有培训活动，举办年度研讨会，接受道德培训，如果是博士生 获得专注于病毒学的辅修学位。除了校园研讨会系列、实习生数据俱乐部和 退而求其次，校园内的病毒学实验室以及InterLab小组之间有许多合作项目 促进思想交流的会议。每名受训者的进度都受到多个方面的监测。 我们吸引优秀博士后学员的能力体现在毕业生的全国排名前十名中。 麦迪逊的课程吸引了对病毒学感兴趣的学生。我们还招募优秀的博士生和 博士后实习生通过结合每个培训师的个人力量进行研究 课程，校园内病毒学机会的广度，我们组织和主办病毒学 在麦迪逊的会议，以及我们以少数族裔为重点的招聘工作。我们在以下方面的卓越成就： 培训病毒学家，我们实验室过去三分之一的实习生现在担任教职，90% 在生物医学科学领域的工作，为我们在下一代培训中继续取得成功提供了强有力的证据 一代杰出的病毒学家。 相关性(请参阅说明)： 培养下一代病毒学家对我们国家处理现有和 由病毒引起的新出现的疾病。

This is a resubmission of an application from the University of Wisconsin for a new training grant in the area of virology. Research on viruses is an important focus area in science. Knowledge gained about viruses have led to many fundamental insights about basic cellular processes such as replication, transcription, translation, mechanisms of oncogenesis, and host immunity. Viruses are important pathogens contributing greatly to human misery and death. At the University of Wisconsin, virology is a major focus area of study, with 19 well-funded virology faculty studying a wide variety of viruses from ones that infect plants and insects to ones that cause human cancer and viruses causing emerging new disease such as Ebola and new strains of influenza virus. An effort to develop an integrated virology training program in Madison began over 15 years ago with the creation of the Madison Virology Program. This new training grant application reflects our collective goal to develop further an outstanding training program for predoc and postdoc trainees interested in all aspects of virology on this campus. Highlights of our new training program's activities includes an extensive virology curriculum, a campus wide weekly Molecular Virology Seminar series attended by all trainers and trainees with specific mentoring activities associated with it, a monthly trainee data club, a multifaceted approach to career development that emphasizes acquisition of skills in writing grants and manuscripts as well as in oral presentations, training in ethics, and an annual, program-wide virology retreat. Predoc and postdoc trainees will be required to participate in all training activities, present yearly seminars, be trained in ethics, and in the case of predoc obtain a minor focused on virology. In addition to the campus-wide seminar series, trainee data club, and retreat, there are many collaborative projects between virology labs on campus as well as interlab group meetings that foster the exchange of ideas. Progress of each trainee is monitored at multiple. Our ability to attract outstanding predoc trainees is reflected in the top-ten national rankings of the graduate programs in Madison that attract students interested in virology. We also recruit outstanding predoc and postdoc trainees to our labs through a combination of the individual strength of each of the trainer's research program, the breadth of the opportunities in virology on campus, our organizing and hosting virology meetings in Madison, and our minority-focused recruiting efforts. Our strong record of achievement in training virologists, with one third of past trainees from our labs now holciing faculty positions and >90% working in the biomedical sciences, provides strong evidence for our continued success in training the next generation of outstanding virologists. RELEVANCE (See instructions): Training the next generation of virologists is critical to our national ability to deal with existing as well as emerging diseases caused by viruses.
