DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) has a long history of outstanding biomedical research across many different departments in the School of Medicine and the College of Arts and Sciences. In recent years, the number of laboratories with a primary emphasis in developmental biology has increased significantly. To support the training efforts of these laboratories, we are submitting this revised application for an Institutional NRSA to fund the proposed Developmental Biology Training Program at UNC-CH. Thirty-four faculty members across ten different academic units have agreed to participate as mentors in this training program. These participating laboratories encompass a wide range of research projects in a broad spectrum of models that include plant, invertebrate, and vertebrate model organisms. They are united by a strong interest in addressing fundamental questions in developmental biology. The Training Program is designed with selection criteria and review procedures that will maintain a high caliber of both pre- and post-doctoral trainees. The Program will encourage preceptors to provide scientific guidance and mentorship in their trainees' scientific careers. In addition to academic requirements, trainees will also participate in a variety of extracurricular activities, such as a journal club and an annual research symposium. These activities will allow them to learn about other relevant research and provide them with opportunities to present their own work, thus contributing to their future success as scientists.

描述（由申请人提供）：北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校 (UNC-CH) 的医学院和艺术与科学学院的许多不同部门在生物医学研究方面有着悠久的历史。近年来，以发育生物学为重点的实验室数量显着增加。为了支持这些实验室的培训工作，我们正在提交这份修订后的机构 NRSA 申请，以资助 ​​UNC-CH 拟议的发育生物学培训计划。十个不同学术单位的 34 名教职员工已同意作为导师参加该培训计划。这些参与实验室涵盖了广泛模型的广泛研究项目，包括植物、无脊椎动物和脊椎动物模型生物。他们因对解决发育生物学基本问题的强烈兴趣而团结在一起。培训计划的设计遵循选择标准和审查程序，以保持博士前和博士后学员的高素质。该计划将鼓励导师为其学员的科学职业生涯提供科学指导和指导。除了学术要求外，学员还将参加各种课外活动，例如期刊俱乐部和年度研究研讨会。这些活动将使他们能够了解其他相关研究，并为他们提供展示自己工作的机会，从而为他们未来作为科学家的成功做出贡献。
