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）：该提案是一项要求资金，以在伊利诺伊大学的Urbana-Champaign在Irbana-Champaign上建立一项机构的博士前培训计划，该计划是由微生物学和病理生物学系的跨学科计划教师提交的。该计划教师在微生物生理学，遗传学，发病机理，免疫学和传染病生态学方面的专业知识将提供现代分子发病机理的广泛研究生培训，这超出了当前研究生计划中可用的内容。组成培训学院的19位生产研究人员与跨部门和大学界限的既定合作进行了高度互动。对这些学生的广泛跨学科培训将加强由NIH和其他机构的赠款资助的研究工作。该培训计划还将通过赞助研讨会系列，参加当地赞助的新国际和新兴的传染病会议，并通过为学生参加其他国家会议以向关键受众介绍他们的数据，从而促进与其他机构的科学家进行互动。我们要求资金支持四名受训者。这些博士前的学生将在研究生学习的第二年结束后，在完成大部分课程后，将在两年内得到支持，并建立了一个论文项目，并产生了大量的初步数据。该计划将增强这些学生的培训和指导。 相关性（请参阅说明）：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。这项培训计划的资金将使我们能够继续建立培训高质量科学家的传统，并培养越来越多的互动生物学家社区，从事及时的高影响力及时问题，在所有传染病中。
