DESCRIPTION (Provided by Applicant): The objective of the Developmental Biology (DB) Training Program, for which this application is seeking support, is to provide scientific and academic training to predoctoral individuals from diverse backgrounds to pursue investigative careers and become future leaders in the biomedical sciences. The DB Training Program will be an integral but distinct part of the umbrella Weill Cornell Graduate School of Medical Sciences Program, which is jointly administered by the Weill Cornell Medical College and the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Institute. The program will be interdisciplinary and will incorporate research programs in Developmental Biology from six out of its nine Programs of Study, including Cell and Developmental Biology, Biochemistry & Structural Biology, Molecular Biology, Pharmacology, Neurosciences, and Physiology, Biophysics, and Systems Biology. The DB Training Program will include 44 faculty members from both institutions with strong collective experience in academic research and training of pre- and post-doctoral students. The research interests in the DB Training Program are represented by the following five areas: Developmental Genetics, Patterning of Tissues and Organs, Stems Cells, Signaling in Development, and Human Development and Disease. Eligible students will be selected by the program director and four Executive Committee members, based on their promise of excellence. The DB Training Program will include a core curriculum of courses and electives, three laboratory rotations, an advanced developmental biology course, as well as participation in Graduate Student Research Seminars. Eligible DB Training Program trainees will be selected for stipend and tuition support during Years 3 and 4 of training. During the training the students will be mentored by the program director, and they will attend specialized DB Training Program events, including seminars by invited speakers, Research-in-Progress seminars, and a Developmental Biology Symposium. The number of faculty and students engaged in studies in the Developmental Biology Training Program has steadily increased over the past decade, and presently includes 38 training grant-eligible students, five of whom (13%) are minority students. To provide training of students with a commitment to excellence, support is sought for a total of eight graduate students in their third and fourth year of training.

描述（由申请人提供）：该申请寻求支持的发展生物学（DB）培训计划的目的是为来自不同背景的专业人士提供科学和学术培训，以从事调查职业，并成为生物医学科学的未来领导者。 DB培训计划将是Weill Cornell医学院和纪念Sloan-Kettering Cancer Institute共同管理的雨伞Weill Cornell医学科学研究生院的组成部分但独特的一部分。 该计划将是跨学科的，并将在其九个研究计划中的六个研究计划中纳入研究计划，包括细胞和发育生物学，生物化学和结构生物学，分子生物学，药理学，神经科学，生理学，生物物理物理学和系统生物学。 DB培训计划将包括来自两家机构的44名教职员工，在学术研究和博士后学生的学术研究以及培训方面具有丰富的集体经验。 数据库培训计划中的研究兴趣由以下五个领域表示：发育遗传学，组织和器官的模式，茎细胞，发育中的信号以及人类发育和疾病。 符合条件的学生将根据他们的卓越承诺，由计划主任和四名执行委员会成员选择。 DB培训计划将包括课程和选修课的核心课程，三个实验室轮换，先进的发育生物学课程以及参与研究生研究研讨会。 在培训的第3年和4年内，将选择合格的DB培训计划受训者进行津贴和学费支持。 在培训期间，学生将受到计划主任的指导，他们将参加专门的DB培训计划活动，包括受邀演讲者，进行研究的研讨会和发展生物学研讨会的研讨会。 在过去的十年中，从事发展生物学培训计划的教职员工的数量稳步增加，目前包括38名符合培训资格的学生，其中5名（13％）是少数学生。 为了为学生提供卓越的承诺，在培训的第三年和第四年中，总共寻求八名研究生的支持。
