DESCRIPTION: (provided by applicant) We request training grant support for a new Program in Computational Biology that has recently been approved by the Division of Biology and Biomedical Sciences at Washington University. The program will attract students from traditional biological backgrounds and also from non-traditional backgrounds such as computer science, mathematics, engineering, and others. A specialized curriculum will give the students broad training in current molecular biology research as well as fundamental methods computer science, mathematics and statistics that can be applied to important biological problems. The curriculum will include course work, including advanced and special topics courses, rotations in "wet" and "dry" labs, teaching experience, instruction in the responsible conduct of research, journal clubs and other opportunities to present research in public talks. Thesis research will be performed under the guidance of faculty actively involved in computational biology research. Plans are presented for the recruitment of top candidate students, including those from under represented minorities. This program will interact synergistically with existing programs, broadening the scope of opportunities within the Division and fostering interactions between students and faculty in computational biology with those in more traditional disciplines. We request an increasing number of student support per year, beginning with 3 in the first year, 4 in the second, and 6 thereafter as the new program increases in size and participation among the faculty, including newly hired faculty.

描述：（由申请人提供）我们要求为一项新的计算生物学计划培训赠款支持，该计划最近已获得华盛顿大学生物学和生物医学科学系的批准。该计划将吸引来自传统生物学背景的学生以及来自计算机科学，数学，工程等非传统背景的学生。专业的课程将为学生提供当前分子生物学研究的广泛培训，以及可以应用于重要生物学问题的基本方法计算机科学，数学和统计学。该课程将包括课程工作，包括高级和特殊主题课程，“湿”和“干燥”实验室的轮换，教学经验，负责任的研究的教学，期刊俱乐部以及其他在公共谈判中展示研究的机会。论文研究将在积极参与计算生物学研究的教师的指导下进行。提出了招募顶级候选学生的计划，包括来自代表的少数民族的学生。该计划将与现有计划协同互动，扩大该部门内的机会范围，并在计算生物学中与更传统学科的学生之间的互动范围。我们要求每年越来越多的学生支持，从第一年开始3，第二年为4，此后6个，随着新计划的增加和教师之间的增加和参与，包括新雇用的教职员工。
