DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The primary goal of this training program is to provide multidisciplinary predoctoral and postdoctoral training in reproductive biology for those who wish to pursue an academic career in research and teaching in this area of biological science. This application requests funds to continue a training grant which has been funded for the past 30 years. Trainees will be selected based on their academic merit and potential for a productive research career in reproductive biology. The training faculty have expertise in many areas of reproductive biology including: neuroendocrine regulation of sexual development and mature reproductive function, hormonal control of the pituitary, the molecular biology of GnRH action, endocrine and paracrine control of gonadal function, regulation of the reproductive tract, and identification of genes involved in ovarian function and early embryogenesis. Many of the training faculty have a strong molecular orientation, and virtually all use molecular techniques into their research. Predoctoral students will be trained in one of three graduate programs at the Oregon Health and Science University: the Program in Molecular and Cellular Biosciences, the Dept. of Behavioral Neuroscience, or the Neuroscience Graduate Program. They will meet the course, seminar, and laboratory research requirements of the graduate council of OHSU and the specific requirements of the program in which they are training. Postdoctoral fellows will have access to the same courses and seminars, but emphasis will be placed on laboratory research. The unique features of this training program reside in the roster of faculty who study a wide range of areas within reproductive biology; the close ties between the research laboratories within the training program which facilitate co-mentoring of students; free access by students to expertise and equipment in all of the laboratories of the training program; regular meetings of journal clubs and research discussion groups; and the accessibility of performing reproductive research with nonhuman primates at the Oregon National Primate Research Center, and the presence of a number of collaborative interactions that include clinicians and basic scientists interested in reproductive biology. Programs for recruitment of minority trainees and formal instruction in the principles of scientific conduct and practice are in place. PUBLIC RELEVANCE: This grant application is to continue training pre- and postdoctoral fellows in reproductive biology. Strengths of the 30-year program include faculty with expertise in a wide range of areas in reproductive biology, strong interdisciplinary links between labs, the ability to work with nonhuman primate models and undertake translational research, and a number of collaborative centers encompassing reproductive biology research.

描述（由申请人提供）：该培训计划的主要目标是为那些希望从事该生物科学领域的研究和教学职业的人提供多学科的前学和博士后培训。该申请要求资金继续培训补助金，该培训赠款在过去30年中得到了资助。学员将根据他们的学术成绩和生殖生物学生产研究生涯的潜力选择。培训教师在生殖生物学的许多领域都有专业知识，包括：性发育和成熟生殖功能的神经内分泌调节，垂体的激素控制，GNRH作用的分子生物学，内分泌和旁分泌的控制，对性角性功能的控制，性腺功能的控制，对生殖道的调节以及对基因的识别以及Ovarian的识别和evarian and ovarian and Ovarian和Ovarian的识别和早期的功能。许多培训教师具有强大的分子取向，并且几乎所有人都在其研究中使用分子技术。专业学生将接受俄勒冈健康与科学大学的三个研究生课程之一的培训：分子和细胞生物科学计划，行为神经科学系或神经科学研究生计划。他们将满足OHSU研究生委员会的课程，研讨会和实验室研究要求以及他们正在培训的计划的具体要求。博士后研究员将可以参加相同的课程和研讨会，但将重点放在实验室研究上。该培训计划的独特特征在于教师的名册，他们研究了生殖生物学中的各种领域。培训计划中的研究实验室之间的紧密联系，促进学生的共同入口；学生可以在培训计划的所有实验室中免费访问专业知识和设备；期刊俱乐部和研究讨论小组的定期会议；以及在俄勒冈州国家灵长类动物研究中心与非人类灵长类动物进行生殖研究的可及性，以及许多合作互动的存在，包括临床医生和对生殖生物学感兴趣的基础科学家。招募少数族裔学员的计划和科学行为和实践原则的正式教学的计划已就位。 公众相关性：该赠款的申请是继续培训生殖生物学前和博士后研究员。这项30年计划的优势包括在生殖生物学领域具有专业知识的教职员工，实验室之间的牢固跨学科联系，与非人类灵长类动物模型合作并进行转化研究的能力以及许多包括生殖生物学研究的协作中心。
