Training in Genomics and Proteomics Technologies

描述(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。在前一次资助期间，我们在这一领域建立了一个培训方案，支持6-7名博士后学生和3名博士后研究员。博士前实习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。学生通过一个联合的大学范围的招生计划进入。他们学习该领域的相关课程，并将由一个教员咨询委员会和一个负责监督整个项目的执行委员会提供密切建议。学生们将从32名教职员工G&P培训师中选择一名论文导师进行论文研究。预计博士前实习生将需要5-6年的时间完成他们的论文研究。在他们的研究结束时，他们应该是该领域的多面手。博士后研究员将拥有相关领域的博士学位，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每月召开参与者(博士后研究员、博士后研究员和教员)会议，以及积极让学员参与的基因组学和蛋白质组学相关研讨会。还将有吸引和留住少数民族学员的特别计划，以及道德问题的教育计划。

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.
