EXCEED THE SPACE PROVIDED. In this proposal, we request a second renewal of our Chemistry-Biology Interface (CBI) Predoctoral Training Grant. In 1995 we launched a new interdisciplinary training program at the University of Massachusetts that built on existing strengths and formalized the faculty's commitment to collaboration between the physical and life sciences. We implemented a CBI curriculum that meshed with the requirements of the three participating graduate programs, Chemistry, Molecular & Cellular Biology, and Polymer Science & Engineering, yet enabled students with either chemical or biological backgrounds to supplement training in their home discipline with training in the complementary discipline. During the current funding period, our CBI Training Program has grown substantially: the number of participating departments has grown from 3 to 4, the number of CBI Training Faculty has grown from 16 to 19 and most notably, the number of formally affiliated students has increased from 14 to 61. The addition of Chemical Engineering builds our strengths in quantitative training and in biomaterials, and adds new opportunities in bioengineering. We anticipate continued growth of our CBI Program as additional departments, notably Physics and Computer Science, move into CBI-related areas. The CBI Program currently provides NIH support for six predoctoral students, and a University match supports one additional graduate student working at the chemistry-biology interface. To continue to foster the growing strength of the CBI program as it expands into new disciplines and trains increasing numbers of students, we request a modest increase in the number of NIH-funded Traineeships in years 3-5 of the of the grant period. The interdisciplinary training we provide is exemplified by the development of a new "Drug Design" course that is now an intergral part of the CBI curriculum. In this popular course, students are provided with background lectures in chemistry and biology to bring them to a common ground, followed by weekly seminars by speakers from the pharmaceutical industry to introduce students to the full range of topics in chemistry and biology that are critical for successful design and development of new drugs. With this type of training in the methods and intellectual framework of both chemistry and biology, our CBI graduates are equipped to pose and solve significant biomedical questions in their future work.

超过提供的空间。 在此提案中，我们要求第二次续签我们的化学生物学界面（CBI）培训前培训补助金。 1995年，我们在马萨诸塞大学启动了一项新的跨学科培训计划，该计划建立在现有的优势上，并正式化了教师对身体和生命科学之间合作的承诺。我们实施了CBI课程，该课程与三个参与研究生课程，化学，分子和细胞生物学以及聚合物科学与工程学的要求相结合，但使具有化学或生物学背景的学生可以在家庭学科中补充辅助学科的培训。 在当前的资金期间，我们的CBI培训计划已大大增长：参与部门的数量已从3增至4，CBI培训教师的数量从16增长到19岁，最值得注意的是，正式隶属的学生的数量已从14个增加到61个。化学工程的加入。化学工程的增加，在我们的定量培训中增强了我们的定量培训和增添新的机会，并获得了新的机会。我们预计我们的CBI计划将继续增长，因为其他部门，尤其是物理学和计算机科学，进入了与CBI相关的领域。 CBI计划目前为六名专业学生提供NIH支持，大学比赛还支持另外一名在化学生物学界面工作的研究生。为了继续促进CBI计划的增长，随着该计划扩展到新的学科和培训越来越多的学生，我们要求在赠款期的3 - 5年内将NIH资助的学员数量适度增加。 我们提供的跨学科培训是用新的“药物设计”课程的开发来体现的，该课程现在已成为CBI课程的层间部分。在这项流行的课程中，为学生提供了化学和生物学的背景讲座，以使他们成为共同点，然后由制药行业的演讲者每周一次研讨会，向学生介绍化学和生物学的全部主题，这对于成功设计和新药的设计至关重要。通过在化学和生物学的方法和智力框架中进行这种类型的培训，我们的CBI毕业生能够在未来的工作中提出和解决重要的生物医学问题。表演站点=============================================================================================
