DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Nanobiology Training Program (NBTP) proposed builds on a strong history of multi-institutional, multidisciplinary training efforts in the Keck Center of the Gulf Coast Consortia. Bringing together four institutions - Baylor College of Medicine, Rice University, University of Houston, and University of Texas-Houston - the NBTP will build on the extensive expertise in areas from which the discipline of nanobiology will emerge. As nanobiology applications are explored, concurrent development of tools, concepts, and people will be required. A novel approach to curricula will be essential to bring together the elements of expertise that will be required for the practitioner in this nascent area. We will engage advanced pre-doctoral and post-doctoral trainees in a capstone course to design curricula that meet the needs of students in this area. Trainees will be required to have mentors in two different parent disciplines, and a mini-sabbatical period in the co-mentor's laboratory will be an essential part of the training experience. Trainees will work on important problems of nanobiology in three different areas - imaging, modeling, and materials. Each of these areas is crucial to the development of this area, and strong expertise in the training faculty is found in each of the areas. The faculty is drawn from all four participating institutions, and criteria for engagement are strong interest in emerging nanobiology problems and commitment to this training program. Core support provided for predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees in this program is highly leveraged by the effective infrastructure of the Keck Center, the track record of non-overlapping training programs, and a stimulating and robust intellectual environment for pre- and post-doctoral training embedded in an exciting and challenging research context.

描述（由申请人提供）： 纳米生物学培训计划（NBTP）的提议建立在墨西哥湾沿岸联盟凯克中心多机构、多学科培训工作的悠久历史之上。 NBTP 汇集了贝勒医学院、莱斯大学、休斯顿大学和德克萨斯大学休斯顿分校这四所机构，将建立在纳米生物学学科即将出现的领域的广泛专业知识的基础上。随着纳米生物学应用的探索，将需要同时开发工具、概念和人员。一种新颖的课程方法对于汇集这一新兴领域的从业者所需的专业知识要素至关重要。我们将聘请高级博士前和博士后学员参加顶点课程，设计满足该领域学生需求的课程。 受训者将被要求在两个不同的学科领域有导师，并且在共同导师实验室的短暂休假将是培训经验的重要组成部分。学员将在成像、建模和材料三个不同领域研究纳米生物学的重要问题。每个领域都对该领域的发展至关重要，每个领域都拥有强大的培训师资力量。教职人员来自所有四个参与机构，参与标准是对新兴纳米生物学问题的浓厚兴趣以及对该培训计划的承诺。 凯克中心有效的基础设施、非重叠培训项目的跟踪记录以及为博士前和博士后培训提供的刺激和强大的智力环境，为该计划中的博士前和博士后培训生提供了核心支持。令人兴奋且具有挑战性的研究环境。
