Genetics Cellular and Molecular Sciences Training Grant

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的遗传学，细胞和分子科学培训补助金（GCMSTG）的目标是提供全面的，相关的和从事博士前的分子科学培训，范围从原子分辨率，通过大分子，到细胞及其结构，以及细胞和组织的群体。来自印第安纳州大学生物学、生物化学和化学系以及医学科学计划的56个培训学院涵盖了广泛的专业知识和研究兴趣，包括生物化学、发育、细胞生物学、微生物学、分子遗传学、结构生物学和分子进化。学员有机会参与高度协作和刺激的智力环境，由跨越生命科学研究的巨大广度的大型综合教师提供便利。受训人员参加旨在从主要研究角度教授分子科学的核心课程。关于文献分析，授予写作，教学和道德的课程，再加上发展演讲技巧的机会，补充了核心课程。学员通过高级课程培养他们的特定兴趣。在整个学习过程中，学生们受到培训学院，TG委员会及其论文委员会的广泛指导。具体的培训资助活动包括年度研讨会、每月学员会议、差旅支持以及与来访的研讨会演讲者会面的机会，增强他们的经验，并创造丰富的知识环境。许多学生支持虽然GCMSTG是从分子，生物学和遗传学研究生课程在生物系，虽然有相当数量的学员与分子生物学的重点也将从生态学，进化和生物学行为计划的支持，和跨学科的生物化学和医学科学研究生课程。lU GCMSTG在培养博士前学生方面有着悠久而出色的记录，他们继续在学术和工业生命科学领域发展成功和富有成效的职业生涯。这一重新提交的提案要求继续保留16个培训职位，我们将通过这些职位促进和加强这一传统。 相关性：lU GCMS TG使有才华的博士前学生能够实现他们的潜力，并发展成为杰出的生命科学家，在许多不同的层面上为人类健康和社会做出贡献。全面的课程，精心的指导，先进的设施，密集的科学话语和教学，创造了一个程序，其中专门的学生茁壮成长，并推动他们的职业生涯前进到生物医学科学。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the proposed Genetics, Cellular and Molecular Sciences Training Grant (GCMSTG) is to provide comprehensive, relevant and engaging pre-doctoral training in the molecular sciences across a range of scales from atomic resolution, through macromolecules, to the cell and its structure, and to populations of cells and tissues. Fifty six Training Faculties from the Indiana University Biology, Biochemistry and Chemistry departments and the Medical Sciences Program, cover a broad range of expertise and research interests that encompass diverse disciplines including biochemistry, development, cell biology, microbiology, molecular genetics, structural biology, and molecular evolution. Trainees have the opportunity to engage in the highly collaborative and stimulating intellectual environment facilitated by a large, integrated faculty who span a tremendous breadth of life science research. Trainees enroll in a core curriculum designed to teach molecular science from a primary research perspective. Courses on literature analysis, grant writing, teaching and ethics, plus opportunities to develop presentation skills complement the core curriculum. Trainees cultivate their specific interests with advanced coursework. Throughout their studies, students are extensively mentored by the Training Faculty, the TG Committee and their thesis committees. Specific training grant activities including a yearly symposium, a monthly trainee meeting, travel support, and opportunities to meet with visiting seminar speakers, enhance their experience, and create a rich intellectual environment. Many students supported though the GCMSTG are from the Molecular, Biology and Genetics graduate program in the Biology Department, although a significant number of trainees with a molecular biological focus will also be supported from the Ecology, Evolution and Behavior program in Biology, and the Interdisciplinary Biochemistry and Medical Sciences graduate programs. The lU GCMSTG has a long and outstanding track record of training pre-doctoral students, who go on to develop successful and productive careers in academic and industrial life science sectors. This resubmitted proposal requests continuation of 16 training positions, through which we will contribute to and enhance this tradition. RELEVANCE: The lU GCMS TG enables talented pre-doctoral students to realize their potential and develop into outstanding life scientists, contributing to human health and society at many different levels. Comprehensive coursework, careful mentoring, advanced facilities, intensive scientific discourse and teaching, creates a program in which dedicated students thrive, and propel their careers forward into the biomedical sciences.
