DESCRIPTION (Provided by Applicant): The University of Southern California (USC) Training Program in Developmental Biology, Stem Cells, and Regeneration (DSCR) provides graduate students with unified training in mechanistic studies of fundamental developmental processes combined with training in the biology and application of stem cell technology. A distinguishing theme of this program is the incorporation of clinical and translational science into the curriculum of students in the DSCR track, based on the premise that strong basic science graduate training can and should be coupled with an appropriately structured exposure to clinical and translational science in a way that will better train the next generation of scientists to be able to realize the clinical and therapeutic potential of developmental biology discoveries. The faculty of this program includes a balanced mix of full, associate, and assistant professors from several USC schools and campuses. These faculty members have proven records of graduate student training, a long history of collaborative research, and approximately half hold clinical degrees and are active clinical translational scientists. The DSCR Program draws students primarily from a highly successful USC interdepartmental graduate student recruitment and first year of studies program (PIBBS; Programs in Biological and Biomedical Sciences); this outstanding cohort of students comes from diverse backgrounds, and includes a prominent representation of training-grant-eligible underrepresented minority students. Predoctoral students are supported by the PIBBS program in their first year of graduate studies, during which they take core classes and do research laboratory rotations. Three new students per year enter the training program at the beginning of their second year, and are supported for two years. Specialized courses and additional program functions provide a rigorous and diverse training experience for students to realize the full potential of the convergent fields of developmental biology, stem cell biology, and regenerative medicine.

描述（由申请人提供）：南加州大学 (USC) 发育生物学、干细胞和再生 (DSCR) 培训项目为研究生提供基本发育过程机制研究的统一培训，并结合生物学和应用培训干细胞技术。 该计划的一个显着主题是将临床和转化科学纳入 DSCR 课程的学生课程中，前提是强大的基础科学研究研究生培训可以而且应该与适当结构化的临床和转化科学接触相结合。这种方法将更好地培训下一代科学家，使其能够实现发育生物学发现的临床和治疗潜力。 该项目的教职人员包括来自南加州大学几所学校和校区的正教授、副教授和助理教授。 这些教职人员拥有经过验证的研究生培训记录和悠久的合作研究历史，其中大约一半拥有临床学位，并且是活跃的临床转化科学家。 DSCR 项目主要吸引来自南加州大学非常成功的跨院系研究生招生和第一年学习项目（PIBBS；生物和生物医学科学项目）的学生；这群优秀的学生来自不同的背景，其中包括符合培训补助金资格的少数族裔学生。 博士前学生在研究生学习的第一年得到 PIBBS 计划的支持，在此期间他们参加核心课程并进行研究实验室轮转。 每年三名新生在第二年开始时进入培训计划，并获得两年的支持。 专业课程和附加项目功能为学生提供严格而多样化的培训体验，以充分发挥发育生物学、干细胞生物学和再生医学融合领域的潜力。
