PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Training young scientists for careers in natural products and dietary supplements research is a core mission of the Pharmaceutical Sciences Ph.D. program at the Oregon State University College of Pharmacy and is the focus of this predoctoral training grant. To address the need to train a new generation of experts in research concerning natural products drug discovery and in the safety and efficacy of dietary supplements, this T32 training grant enrolls 5 predoctoral trainees at a time. Our mentor team includes faculty with expertise in marine, microbial and botanical natural products and dietary supplements as well as natural product genomics, cancer therapy, chemoprevention, pharmacology, dietary supplements, and biosynthesis. Our leadership team includes co-Program Leaders with experience leading a T32 training program (Dr. van Breemen) and experience serving as a director of graduate studies for our department (Dr. Mahmud). In response to the need to enrich the diversity of pipeline of natural products scientists, we recruited two Hispanic/Latina graduate students who joined our Ph.D. program during the Fall Term 2022. One of these students filled a T32 slot that opened upon the graduation of one of our trainees. We are requesting a 12-month diversity supplement to temporarily support the other graduate student from an under-represented group in the biomedical sciences. This supplement will support her until another T32 slot becomes available. Currently, this other Hispanic/Latino student is being supported by the OSU College of Pharmacy.
