DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is a request for funding to establish an institutional pre-doctoral training program in Infection Biology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign submitted by an interdisciplinary program faculty from the Departments of Microbiology and Pathobiology. The expertise of the program faculty in microbial physiology, genetics, pathogenesis, immunology, and ecology of infectious diseases will provide broad graduate training in modern molecular pathogenesis that goes beyond what is available in current graduate programs. The 19 productive researchers that make up the training faculty are highly interactive with established collaborations that cross departmental and college boundaries. The broad interdisciplinary training of these students will enhance the research efforts funded by grants from the NIH and other agencies. The training program will also facilitate interactions with scientists at other institutions by sponsoring a seminar series, by participating in a locally sponsored international conference on New and Re- emerging Infectious Diseases, and by providing support for students to attend additional national meetings to present their data to a critical audience. We request funds to support four trainees. These pre-doctoral students will be supported for a two-year period starting at the end of their second year of graduate studies, after they have completed much of their coursework, have established a thesis project, and have generated significant preliminary data. The program will enhance the training and mentorship of these students. RELEVANCE (See instructions): Infectious diseases remain the third leading cause of death in the United States and the second leading cause of death worldwide. Funding of this training program will allow us to continue to build on our tradition of training high-quality scientists and to foster a growing community of interactive biologists working on high-impact timely problems across all areas of infectious disease.

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案是由微生物学和病理生物学系的跨学科项目教师提交的一项资金申请，旨在在伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校建立感染生物学机构博士前培训项目。该项目教师在微生物生理学、遗传学、发病机制、免疫学和传染病生态学方面的专业知识将为现代分子发病机制提供广泛的研究生培训，这超出了当前研究生项目的范围。培训师资队伍由 19 名富有成效的研究人员组成，他们与跨院系和学院之间的既定合作高度互动。这些学生的广泛跨学科培训将加强美国国立卫生研究院和其他机构资助的研究工作。该培训计划还将通过赞助一系列研讨会、参加当地主办的新发传染病国际会议以及支持学生参加其他国家会议来展示他们的数据，促进与其他机构科学家的互动。给挑剔的观众。我们请求资金来支持四名学员。这些博士前学生将在研究生第二年结束后获得为期两年的支持，在他们完成大部分课程作业、建立论文项目并生成重要的初步数据后。该计划将加强对这些学生的培训和指导。 相关性（参见说明）：传染病仍然是美国第三大死亡原因，也是全球第二大死亡原因。该培训计划的资助将使我们能够继续发扬培养高素质科学家的传统，并培养不断壮大的互动生物学家社区，致力于解决传染病所有领域的高影响力的及时问题。
