DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this Research Training Program in Molecular Virology is to produce highly qualified scientists committed to careers in biomedical research related to the molecular biology of human viral infections. Recent developments in infectious diseases emphasize the need for researchers specializing in aspects of infectious disease research, including virology. Our training program provides trainees with thorough foundations in fundamental virology and molecular biology concepts and techniques, primarily through coursework and laboratory research experience. The program is rigorous; its success is documented by the productivity of present trainees and the success of previous trainees in various scientific settings. Funds are requested to continue the Training Program in Molecular Virology. Support is requested for four predoctoral and two postdoctoral trainee positions. Trainees are selected competitively on the basis of past performance (academic record, test scores, laboratory experience) and on evidence of motivation and enthusiasm for research (recommendations, interviews). Nine participating faculty are from the Department of Molecular Virology and Microbiology and are complemented by three additional participating virologists from other Baylor College of Medicine departments; Biochemistry (2) and Human and Molecular Genetics (1). All faculty participants have funded research programs and good publication and training records. As this is not a degree granting program, predoctoral students will progress through the graduate program in one of the participating departments. A strength of the program is the breadth of research interests of participating faculty, representing important complementary areas of training - immunology, AIDS, genetics, molecular biology, structural biology, pathogenesis, and vaccines. The rich research environment provided by Baylor College of Medicine and the Texas Medical Center adds strength to the program. In addition to the core curriculum taken by predoctoral fellows in their respective academic departments, conceptual foundations and program enhancement are provided by access to numerous seminars throughout the Texas Medical Center, participation in national meetings, a Graduate Student Symposium, a "Grants and Contracts" course, journal clubs, and organized special interest group meetings among the labs of participating faculty. Increased recruitment efforts among racial and ethnic minorities have resulted in increased enrollment of these groups in the school and in the departments participating in this training program.

描述（由申请人提供）：本分子病毒学研究培训计划的目标是生产高素质的科学家，致力于从事与人类病毒感染分子生物学有关的生物医学研究的职业。传染病的最新发展强调了专门研究传染病研究方面的研究人员的需求，包括病毒学。我们的培训计划为受训者提供了基本病毒学和分子生物学概念和技术的详尽基础，主要是通过课程和实验室研究经验。该程序很严格；目前的学员的生产力以及以前的学员在各种科学环境中的成功记录了其成功。 要求资金继续进行分子病毒学培训计划。请求支持四个五个典前和两个博士后学员职位。基于过去的表现（学术记录，考试成绩，实验室经验）和研究动机和热情的研究（建议，访谈），受训人员的选择。九个参与的教师来自分子病毒学和微生物学系，并得到了其他贝勒医学院的另外三位参与病毒学家的补充；生物化学（2）以及人类和分子遗传学（1）。所有教师参与者都资助了研究计划以及良好的出版和培训记录。由于这不是学位授予计划，因此前学生将在参与部门之一的研究生课程中进步。该计划的优势是参与教师的研究兴趣的广度，代表了培训的重要互补领域 - 免疫学，艾滋病，遗传学，分子生物学，结构生物学，发病机理和疫苗。贝勒医学院和德克萨斯州医学中心提供的丰富研究环境为该计划增添了力量。 除了摄影前家伙在其各自的学术部门开设的核心课程外，概念基础和计划的增强还通过访问得克萨斯州医学中心的众多研讨会，参加全国会议，一项研究生研讨会，“赠款和合同”课程，期刊俱乐部和有组织的特殊利益小组会议。种族和少数民族之间的招聘工作增加导致这些群体在学校和参加该培训计划的部门的入学人数增加。
