DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is for the third competing renewal for the sole training grant supporting an inter-departmental graduate Program in Cell and Molecular Biology (CMB Program) at Baylor College of Medicine. The CMB Program was founded on a commitment to excellence in research, with strict guidelines for both student and faculty participation in the program. The program has 95 faculty members from seven basic science departments, as well as several clinical departments, including a cadre of newly recruited young faculty. Therefore, we provide our students with a wide spectrum of exciting research possibilities. During the fifteen years of funding, 130 students have entered the program, with 50 students currently enrolled. We have been very successful in attracting students of high caliber to the College, through active recruitment mechanisms, and as a consequence, entering class sizes in the past three years have been 9 to 12 students per year. We also continue to emphasize a rigorous graduate education program, which is combined with an intensive mentoring approach that is provided through all stages of CMB graduate education. Correspondingly, the research productivity of our students has been exceptional, as measured by both the number and quality of CMB student-authored publications. Students who have graduated from the Program, between 2000 and the present, have graduated with extremely strong publication records: these 19 students have published, on average, 5 papers as a result of their thesis research, including 2.5 first author papers, with an average impact factor of 8.7 per publication. An additional notable achievement during the last funding period has been our continued success in both recruiting, and retaining, under-represented minority students, with seven students currently enrolled in the program; furthermore, our currently enrolled under-represented minority CMB students include some of the top students in the College with regard to academic achievements. During our past training period, we had 10 pre-doctoral positions funded through this award. We are requesting a total of 12 funded positions in the current renewal, which should create an enrolled student body of ~60 students, an optimal size for scientific interactions and mentoring by Program faculty.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请是为贝勒医学院的细胞和分子生物学（CMB计划）的第三次竞争续订授予唯一培训赠款。 CMB计划是基于对卓越研究的承诺而建立的，并针对该计划的学生和教职员工都严格指导。该计划拥有来自七个基础科学部门的95名教职员工，以及一些临床部门，包括新招募的年轻教职员工。因此，我们为学生提供了各种令人兴奋的研究可能性。在15年的资金中，有130名学生参加了该计划，目前有50名学生参加。通过积极的招聘机制吸引高素质的学生进入大学，我们一直非常成功，因此，在过去三年中，进入班级的规模是每年9到12名学生。 我们还继续强调一项严格的研究生教育计划，该计划与CMB研究生教育各个阶段一起提供的密集指导方法结合在一起。相应地，我们的学生的研究生产力非常出色，这是通过CMB学生作者的出版物的数量和质量来衡量的。该计划毕业的学生在2000年至现在毕业，已经毕业于出色的出版记录：这19名学生平均发表了5篇论文研究，其中包括2.5篇第一作者论文，平均影响因素为每张出版物8.7。在最后一个资金期间，我们在招聘和保留代表性不足的少数族裔学生方面的持续成功，目前有七名学生在该计划中招募，这是我们持续的成功；此外，我们目前注册的人数不足的少数民族CMB学生还包括学院的一些顶级学生。在过去的培训期间，我们有10个通过该奖项资助的博士前职位。我们要求在当前续签中总共有12个资助职位，这应该创建一个约60名学生的入学学生，这是科学互动的最佳规模和计划教师的指导。
