DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Proposed is a predoctoral training program in cellular and molecular parasitology (CMP) that will provide trainees excellent opportunities to gain expertise in modern parasitology through its instructional and research components. Depending on the background experience of metriculating trainees, the program offers a three-tiered curriculum which includes ( 1) a basic course introducing concepts of parasitology drawing examples from parasites important to human and animal health, (2) advanced courses in molecular parasitology, immunoparasitology, medical entomology, and other specialized disciplines, and (3) weekly journal clubs and research "focus" groups featuring critical analyses of the primary literature and trainee research findings, All trainees will be required to take the course "Good Practices in Science: Research Ethics and Survival Skills" as a formal introduction to issues surrounding the ethical conduct of research. Monthly seminars featuring both on- and off-campus experts in parasitology and tropical medicine also will be offered. The research component of the training program consists of opportunities to investigate cellular, biochemical, immunological, or molecular aspects of parasite-host associations in any of 13 trainer laboratories. A wide range of parasite models are available for study including those of major importance to health in the tropics: malaria, trypanosomiasis, schistosomiasis, and filariasis. Participating faculty have outstanding training records and well-funded programs covering a variety of research areas such as vector biology, immunology of parasitic infection and disease, biochemistry and gene regulation of metabolic, cell cycle and secretory pathways, microbe-insect interactions, and parasite neurobiology. Support is requested for five years to support six (6 ) predoctoral trainees per year. Exceptionally qualified trainees will be selected for awards from a national pool of applicants by the CMP training committee-of-the-whole. Selection will be based on scholastic excellence, recommendations, prior research experience/publications and their commitment to careers in research. The duration of CMP training support for students will be from 2 to 3 years. Plans are described to encourage applications from and support of minority students underrepresented in the sciences. Outstanding training facilities will be provided through individual investigator labs, departmental shared resources and campus-wide facilities including the Biotron, Biotechnology Center, Center for Genomic Studies, Integrated Microscopy Resource, and several AAALAC-approved animal care facilities.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的是蜂窝和分子寄生虫学（CMP）的一项培训前培训计划，该计划将通过其教学和研究组件为受训者提供极好的机会，以获得现代寄生虫学专业知识。该计划依赖于衡量学员的背景经验，提供了三层课程，包括（1）基本课程，介绍了寄生虫学概念的寄生虫概念对人类和动物健康的寄生虫很重要，（2）分子寄生虫学的先进课程，分子寄生虫学，群体学，医学昆虫学，杂志和其他专业群体和其他专业群体（3）周期（3）周期（3）周日（3）周期（3）周期（3）周刊（3）周日（3）周刊（3）周期（3）周刊（3）周刊。初级文献和受训者的研究结果，所有学员将被要求接受“科学：研究伦理和生存技能的良好实践”课程，以作为围绕研究道德行为的问题的正式介绍。还将提供寄生虫和热带医学专家的每月一次研讨会。培训计划的研究组成部分包括研究寄生虫宿主联想的13个教练实验室中任何一个的细胞，生化，免疫，免疫或分子方面的机会。可以研究广泛的寄生虫模型，包括对热带健康中健康的重要性：疟疾，锥虫病，血吸虫病和丝虫病。参与的教师拥有出色的培训记录和资金良好的计划，涵盖了各种研究领域，例如载体生物学，寄生虫感染和疾病的免疫学，生物化学和基因调节，细胞周期和分泌途径，微生物互动的相互作用以及寄生虫神经生物学。要求支持五年来支持每年六（6）名培训前学员。 CMP培训委员会将从全国申请人库选出异常合格的学员。选择将基于卓越学术，建议，先前的研究经验/出版物及其对研究职业的承诺。 CMP培训支持的持续时间为2年至3年。描述的计划是为了鼓励科学中少数族裔学生的申请和支持。出色的培训设施将通过个人调查员实验室，部门共享资源和校园范围内的设施提供，包括生物子头，生物技术中心，基因组研究中心，综合显微镜资源以及几个AAALAC批准的动物护理设施。
