DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This new proposal seeks NIH support for the Molecular Biophysics Graduate Training Program at the University of Colorado, Boulder. The goal of our rapidly expanding predoctoral training program is to prepare exceptional, highly motivated biophysics students for productive research careers in academia or industry. The 27 training faculty are an outstanding, internationally recognized group of investigators from three departments: Chemistry & Biochemistry; Molecular, Cellular & Developmental Biology; and Chemical Engineering. Their research, which includes many collaborative projects, ranges from high resolution structural studies of proteins and nucleic acids, to physical, computational, and chemical analysis of enzyme and signaling protein mechanisms, to structural and kinetic analysis of large supermolecular complexes, to biophysical studies of cell physiology, to pharmaceutical development and tissue engineering. The program began in 1997 as an informal supergroup meeting, then was formally established as the Molecular Biophysics Interdepartmental Graduate Certificate Program in AY1999-2000. Students who complete this program receive a certificate from the Graduate School acknowledging their graduate training in Molecular Biophysics, in addition to the Ph.D. awarded by their home department. Each student begins the first year with Core courses in their home department, three laboratory rotations, and teaching duties. At the end of the first year, a thesis advisor is selected and thesis research commences. During the second year and beyond, the student takes approved courses relevant to their research project. Required coursework includes a research ethics course and two additional courses selected from an approved list. One of the selected courses must be either "Techniques in Molecular Biophysics" or "Advances in Molecular Biophysics", both developed specifically for the training program. At the end of the second year, written and oral qualifying examinations analyze the readiness of the student to advance to Ph.D. candidacy and evaluate the proposed thesis project. In each subsequent year, a research presentation and meeting with a faculty committee provides feedback on progress toward the Ph.D. degree. All trainees and training faculty are expected to participate in regular meetings of the Biophysics Supergroup and Seminar Series. Those students considering a biotechnology career can elect to complete an optional laboratory internship at one of several local biotechnology companies. The typical student will obtain a Ph.D. from their home department within 5-6 years of matriculation, then go on to postdoctoral training and a career in academia or with a pharmaceutical/biotechnology company.

描述（由申请人提供）：这项新提案寻求 NIH 支持 大学分子生物物理学研究生培训计划 科罗拉多州、博尔德。我们快速扩大博士前培训的目标 该计划旨在为杰出的、积极主动的生物物理学学生做好准备 在学术界或工业界富有成效的研究生涯。 27名培训师资 是一个杰出的、国际公认的研究小组 三个系：化学与生物化学；分子、细胞和 发育生物学；和化学工程。他们的研究包括 许多合作项目，范围从高分辨率结构研究 蛋白质和核酸，物理、计算和化学分析 酶和信号蛋白机制的结构和动力学分析 大型超分子复合物的研究，细胞生理学的生物物理研究， 药物开发和组织工程。该计划于1997年开始 作为一次非正式的超级小组会议，随后正式成立 分子生物物理学跨部门研究生证书课程 1999-2000 年。完成该课程的学生将获得由 研究生院承认他们在分子生物物理学方面的研究生培训， 除了博士学位。由其所在部门授予。每个学生开始 第一年在其所在部门开设核心课程，三个实验室 轮换和教学任务。第一年结束时，论文导师 被选中并开始论文研究。在第二年及之后的时间里， 学生参加与其研究项目相关的经批准的课程。必需的 课程包括一门研究伦理课程和两门附加课程 从批准的名单中选择。所选课程之一必须是 “分子生物物理学技术”或“分子生物物理学进展”， 两者都是专门为培训计划而开发的。在第二次结束时 年，笔试和口试会分析学生的准备情况 学生升读博士学位候选资格并评估拟议的论文项目。 随后的每一年，都会有一次研究报告和与教师的会议 委员会提供有关博士学位进展的反馈。程度。所有练习生 和培训教师应参加定期会议 生物物理学超级组和研讨会系列。那些正在考虑的学生 生物技术职业可以选择完成可选的实验室实习 当地几家生物科技公司之一。典型的学生将获得 博士入学后 5-6 年内从其所在院系毕业，然后继续 博士后培训和学术界的职业生涯或 制药/生​​物技术公司。
