DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This a renewal T32 application for graduate student training in immunolgy, microbial sciences, and related topics at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI). This program is currently in its 10th year. The present proposal includes a larger faculty base than in the past (42 laboratories drawn from a total of 289 faculty members), reflecting the merger of the former Immunology Department with other faculty into the "Department of Immunology and Microbial Science", and outreach to all departments at TSRI, including Genetics, Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Chemical Biology and Chemistry. The wider scope reflects both the growth of our institution and the multidisciplinary nature of science at TSRI. The proposed support shall be available to students at TSRI regardless of department affiliation, provided that their research is related to immunology, microbiology, or host defense. This training program is part of a highly successful "Doctoral Programs in Chemical and Biological Sciences". The TSRI graduate program attracts top-notch applicants and has been successful in training high quality scientists who have continued research careers. During the previous award period, all positions have been filled with talented individuals. TSRI is the largest non-profit research organization in the country, offering world-class research facilities. The faculty mentors in this training program are at the forefront of research into the mechanisms involved in generating and regulating immune responses, including responses of both the adaptive and innate arms of the immune system. In partial recognition of these achievements, this year two of our participating faculty members, Bruce Beutler and Michael Oldstone, were elected to the National Academy of Sciences. The unusually wide diversity of areas of investigation within the Training Program, from basic science to clinical applications as well as bioterrorism-related research, affords excellent opportunities for graduate student research and training in Immunology. Participation in scientific meetings, research-in-progress seminars, journal clubs, and lecture series gives students exposure to a multitude of different disciplines and experience in presenting their research to others.

描述（由申请人提供）：这是Scripps Research Institute（TSRI）的免疫，微生物科学和相关主题的研究生培训的续签T32申请。该计划目前已进入第10年。本提案包括比过去更大的教职员工（42个实验室，共有289名教职员工），反映了前免疫学部门与其他教职员工的合并到“免疫学和微生物科学系”，以及与TSRI的所有部门的外界，包括遗传学，细胞生物学，化学生物学，化学，化学，化学，化学，化学，化学，化学，化学，化学，化学，化学，化学，化学。更广泛的范围既反映了我们机构的增长，也反映了TSRI科学的多学科性质。拟议的支持应向TSRI的学生提供，无论部门隶属关系如何，只要他们的研究与免疫学，微生物学或宿主防御有关。该培训计划是非常成功的“化学和生物科学博士学位课程”的一部分。 TSRI研究生课程吸引了一流的申请人，并成功地培训了继续研究职业的高质量科学家。在上一个奖项期间，所有职位都充满了才华横溢的人。 TSRI是该国最大的非营利性研究组织，提供世界一流的研究设施。该培训计划中的教师导师在研究和调节免疫反应所涉及的机制方面处于研究的最前沿，包括免疫系统的适应性和先天臂的反应。为了部分认可这些成就，今年我们的两名参与教职员工布鲁斯·贝特勒（Bruce Beutler）和迈克尔·奥尔斯通（Michael Oldstone）当选为美国国家科学院。从基础科学到临床应用以及与生物恐怖有关的研究，培训计划中的调查领域异常多样性，为研究生学生研究和免疫学培训提供了绝佳的机会。参加科学会议，进行研究的研讨会，期刊俱乐部和讲座系列，使学生接触到许多不同的学科和经验，并在向他人展示研究方面。
