Chemistry/Biology Interface Training Grant

要求继续提供资金，以支持化学/生物学培训的9名博士前学员 计划，未来五年。培训计划由来自四个国家的26名教员组成 参与研究生单位：化学系有机部，生物部， 化学系，药学院药物化学系， 俄亥俄州国家生物化学计划（OSBP）。来自OSBP的参与教师是 附属于许多部门和学院。参与的教师的研究项目 涵盖五大领域：区域1：合成和药物化学;区域2：酶学和 生物合成途径;领域3：蛋白质生物化学和工程;领域4：结构生物学; 第五部分：分子与细胞生物学化学/生物学培训计划不是一个单独的 研究生课程。相反，学生将被招募到四个参与研究生课程 并接受化学/生物学接口的培训。培训的主要内容包括每月 午餐研讨会、年度研讨会、定期研讨会，以及涵盖两者的要求 化学和生物学科在实验室轮换，课程工作，一般考试建议， 论文研究执行委员会将每年评估受训人员的进展情况， 重新任命。学员将参加一个关于负责任地进行研究的讲习班。强大的努力 将致力于招收和留住代表性不足的少数民族学生。在过去的9 多年来，42名学员参加或仍在参加该方案;许多学员 也得到了大学或其他资助机构的其他奖学金的支持。十五 学员已成功完成培训计划，并随后转入 在企业，政府或行业或博士后职位的永久职位。

Continuing funding is requested to support 9 predoctoral trainees of the Chemistry/Biology Training Program, for the next five-years. The Training Program consists of 26 faculty members fromfour participating graduate units: Organic Division of the Chemistry Department, Biological Division of the Chemistry Department, Division of Medicinal Chemistry of the College of Pharmacy, and the Ohio State Biochemistry Program (OSBP). The participating faculty members from OSBP are affiliated with many departments and colleges. The research projects of the participating faculty cover five broad areas: Area 1: Synthetic and Medicinal Chemistry; Area 2: Enzymology and Biosynthetic Pathways; Area 3: Protein Biochemistry and Engineering; Area 4: Structural Biology; and Area 5: Molecular and Cell Biology. The Chemistry/Biology Training Program is not a separate graduate program. Instead, students will be recruited into the four participating graduate programs and receive training at the chemistry/biology interface. Key elements of the training include monthly luncheon seminars, annual symposium, regular seminars, and the requirement to cover both chemistry and biology disciplines in lab rotations, course work, general exam proposals, and dissertation research. The Executive Committee will evaluate the progress of trainees annually for reappointment. Trainees will attend a workshop on Responsible Conduct of Research. Strong effort will be devoted to recruiting and retention of underrepresented minority students. During the past 9 years, 42 trainees have participated or are still participating in the program; many of the trainees have also been supported by other fellowshipsfrom the university or other funding agencies. Fifteen trainees have successfully completed the training program and subsequently moved onto permanent positions in academe, government, or industry or postdoctoral positions.
