Genetics

描述(由申请人提供)：石溪大学遗传学项目是一个研究生教育和研究项目，旨在获得遗传学博士学位。遗传学项目提供独特的多机构课程和实验室研究，利用石溪大学(SBU)、冷泉港实验室(CSHL)和布鲁克海文国家实验室(BNL)的不同师资和资源。我们研究生课程的这三个研究支柱为一个高度精选的小班提供了丰富的教学培训经验 在SBU研究生院注册的研究生，但他们接受了三个参与机构的研究和教育培训。该计划于1980年启动，自1981年以来一直由NIH的培训补助金提供资金。遗传学计划的教职员工拥有活跃的、资助的研究实验室，附属于参与机构的多个部门。项目参与者包括来自BNL的4名教职员工，CSHL的29名教职员工和SBU的57名教职员工。所有人都对遗传学有着浓厚的兴趣，并管理着涵盖现代遗传学某些方面的积极研究项目。这种广泛而多样的教师和研究专业知识的组合为研究生提供了许多科学互动、合作和指导的机会。学生在第一年学习核心课程，同时进行研究轮换，从中选择一个论文研究实验室。学生还将完成两个学期的本科助教计划。完成课程作业后，学生完成资格考试，然后完成论文研究提案答辩。学生通过学生研讨会系列、一年级和二年级学生座谈会、年度静修和众多期刊俱乐部，学习分析和展示他们自己和其他人的科学发现。年度论文研究委员会会议和期末论文研究论文答辩构成了培训计划的平衡。通过这项提议，我们寻求延长我们对维持这一世界级研究生培训计划的承诺。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Stony Brook University Genetics Program is a graduate educational and research program leading to the Ph.D. degree in Genetics. The Genetics Program provides a unique, multi-institutional curriculum of course and laboratory research that draws upon the diverse faculty and resources of Stony Brook University (SBU), Cold Spring Harbor Lab (CSHL) and Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). These three research pillars of our Graduate Program provide a rich and didactic training experience for a small, highly select class of graduate students who enroll in the Graduate School of SBU, but who receive research and educational training from the three participating institutions. The Program was initiated in 1980, and it has been continuously funded by this NIH training grant since 1981. The Genetics Program faculty members have active, funded research labs affiliated with multiple departments of the participating Institutions. Program participants include four faculty members from BNL, 29 from CSHL and 57 from SBU. All share a deep interest in genetics and manage active research programs encompassing some aspect of modern genetics. This wide and varied mix of faculty and research expertise affords the graduate students with many opportunities for scientific interaction, collaboration and instruction. Students take core coursework in their first year, alongside research rotation experiences from which they choose a thesis research lab. Students also complete two semesters of an undergraduate teaching assistantship. After completing coursework, students complete a qualifying exam followed by a thesis research proposal defense. Students learn to analyze and present their own scientific findings, and those of others, through a student seminar series, first and second year student symposia, an annual retreat and numerous Journal clubs. An annual thesis research committee meeting and a final thesis research dissertation defense constitute the balance of the training program. With this proposal we seek to extend our commitment to maintaining this world-class Graduate Training Program.
