Integrative Training in Biomedical Systems

描述（由申请人提供）：NIGMS赞助的系统和综合生物学（SIB）培训计划在俄亥俄州州立大学医学院（COM）的目标是教育一组精英研究生跨学科的方法，以基础和转化研究。该计划探讨了细胞和复杂器官系统的机制，它们的破坏如何导致疾病，以及基础科学和医学科学方法的整合如何导致影响人类健康的新发现。它与我们医疗中心内更广泛的COM工作相协调，通过教育和研究创新来产生改善人们生活的发现。我们的目标是为博士前学员提供一个跨学科的课程，保持高标准的知识严谨性，培养创造力和研究热情，并提供与选定的教师跨越传统学科界限的研究机会。SIB计划旨在成为更大的综合生物医学科学研究生计划（IBGP）的一个组成部分，我们的父母博士。培训计划提供高质量的培训机会，为我们的IBGP和MSTP毕业生在生物医学研究领域的成功职业做好准备。我们正在申请每年培训10名SIB博士预科生的资金，其中包括五名新选择的学员，他们已经完成了IBGP核心课程的第一年，五名学员已经完成了SIB计划的一年，并参加了一年的更新。课程，研讨会，实验室轮换，赠款写作，在负责任的研究行为的培训，并在十一个研究重点领域之一的重点与经过审查的教师是SIB计划提供合作和跨学科培训机会的机制。SIB计划的教师是领先的基础生物医学科学研究人员，他们致力于学生的教育和培训，并拥抱我们学术研究社区的多样性和合作的愿景。SIB计划为SIB学员提供独家学术，职业发展和社交活动，以加强他们成为生物医学科学研究未来领导者的能力。我们还致力于通过有针对性的招聘和保留来保持我们计划的地理和种族多样性。总之，SIB培训计划将传授跨学科的知识和技能，使学员能够接受我们的研究使命，并将自己定位为广泛的生物医学科学事业的领导者。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the NIGMS-sponsored Systems and Integrative Biology (SIB) training program at The Ohio State University College of Medicine (COM) is to educate an elite set of graduate students in interdisciplinary approaches to basic and translational research. The program explores mechanisms of cellular and complex organ systems, how their disruption leads to disease, and how the integration of approaches in basic and medical sciences can lead to new discoveries that impact human health. It is coordinated with the broader COM effort within our medical center to generate discoveries that improve people's lives through innovation in education and research. Our objective is to provide predoctoral trainees with an interdisciplinary curriculum that maintains high standards of intellectual rigor, fosters creativity and passion for research, and provides research opportunitie with selected faculty that cross traditional disciplinary boundaries. The SIB program was designed to be an integral component of the larger Integrated Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program (IBGP), our parent Ph.D. training program that provides high quality training opportunities to prepare our IBGP and MSTP graduates for successful careers in biomedical research. We are requesting funds for training ten SIB predoctoral students per year, including five newly chosen trainees who have completed their first year in the IBGP core curriculum and five trainees who have completed one year in the SIB program and who compete for a year renewal. Coursework, seminars, laboratory rotations, grant-writing, training in the responsible conduct of research, and a focus in one of eleven areas-of-research emphasis with a vetted faculty member are the mechanisms by which the SIB program provides collaborative and interdisciplinary training opportunities. Faculty in the SIB program are leading basic biomedical science researchers who are committed to student education and training, and who embrace the vision of diversity and cooperation in our academic research community. The SIB program provides exclusive scholarly, career development and social activities for the SIB trainees to strengthen their ability to become the leaders of tomorrow in biomedical science research. We are also committed to maintaining geographic and ethnic diversity in our program through targeted recruitment and retention. In summary, the SIB training program will impart the interdisciplinary knowledge and skills to enable trainees to embrace our research mission and position themselves as leaders in a wide range of biomedical science careers.
