DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Biomedical research at the Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) has expanded considerable over the past decade and, as part of this growth, the number of laboratories with a primary focus in embryonic development has increased greatly. To support the training efforts of these laboratories, this revised application is submitted to support a basic research training program that will provide predoctoral and postdoctoral students with a rigorous grounding in molecular and cellular aspects of Developmental Biology. The proposed training faculty is comprised of 23 investigators who utilize biochemical, molecular, cellular, and/or genetic approaches to understanding developmental processes in a variety of vertebrate and invertebrate animal model systems including flies, chick, frog, fish, and mouse. Program faculty are drawn from basic science departments and independent research units within the School of Medicine, all housed on the main OHSU campus. All members of the training faculty have active, externally funded basic research programs. The field of Developmental Biology is becoming increasingly intertwined with cell biology and other disciplines, requiring that students receive a broad education in diverse subjects in order to meet future challenges. To accomplish this, all trainees will receive rigorous research training in embryonic development in their preceptors' laboratories, and will participate in journal clubs, seminars, and scientific meetings, including the Northwest Regional Developmental Biology Meeting, the annual trainees symposium, and the OHSU graduate student retreat. Predoctoral trainees will also receive a broad classroom based education in biochemistry, genetics, cell biology, molecular biology, and neurobiology, as well as more in depth training in developmental biology through formal coursework involving both lectures and laboratory exercises. One outstanding feature of the training program at OHSU is the high level of interactions and collaborations that occur among faculty members with diverse research interests and expertise.

描述（由申请人提供）：在过去的十年中，俄勒冈健康与科学大学（OHSU）的生物医学研究扩大了相当大的扩展，并且作为这种增长的一部分，具有主要重点是胚胎发展的实验室数量大大增加了。 为了支持这些实验室的培训工作，提交了这项修订的申请，以支持一项基础研究培训计划，该计划将在发育生物学的分子和细胞方面提供严格的基础和博士后学生的基础。 拟议的培训教师由23位研究人员组成，他们利用生化，分子，细胞和/或遗传方法来理解各种脊椎动物和无脊椎动物动物模型系统的发育过程，包括苍蝇，雏鸡，青蛙，鱼类和小鼠。 课程教职员工来自医学院内的基础科学系和独立研究单位，这些部门都位于主要OHSU校园中。 培训教师的所有成员都有积极的外部资助基础研究计划。 发育生物学领域正越来越多地与细胞生物学和其他学科交织在一起，要求学生接受各种学科的广泛教育，以应对未来的挑战。 为此，所有学员将在其教授实验室中接受严格的研究培训，并将参加期刊俱乐部，研讨会和科学会议，包括西北地区发展生物学会议，年度学员研讨会和OHSU研究生毕业生retreat。 托管前学员还将通过涉及讲座和实验室练习的正式课程，在发育生物学方面进行更多的基于课堂的教育，遗传学，细胞生物学，分子生物学和神经生物学以及在发育生物学方面进行更多的深入培训。 OHSU培训计划的一项杰出特征是具有多种研究兴趣和专业知识的教职员工之间发生的高度互动和合作。
