DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Cell and Molecular Biology (CMB) Training Program at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas fosters the development of Ph.D. scientists with the skills and resources necessary to succeed as independent researchers in a rapidly changing scientific environment. In response to this changing environment, the CMB Training Program at UT Southwestern is largely driven by the trainees. The program focuses on Cellular and Molecular Biology as it applies to medical advances, reflecting the research interests of the students and the laboratories in which they train. It provides formal training in statistical analysis of biological data and emphasizes the importance of collaborative research in acquiring the breadth of knowledge and skills needed for the rapid pace of developments. The program offers unique small group settings for the trainees to acquire new knowledge, form scientific hypotheses, and critically analyze data. Students compete for positions in this training program by writing a research summary and personal statement about why they would like to participate. The application process is open to students in their second or later year of a Ph.D. program or in their first or second graduate school year of the MSTP program. The new trainees are chosen by the CMB Steering Committee based on personal statement, motivation, and diversity of research topic. Most students remain in the training program for 3 years, usually including one year of advanced didactic training and up to 2 years of independent research. Currently, there are 14 granted slots, with 13 funded due to budget constraints of the NIH. The interdisciplinary, student-focused CMB program is structured to stimulate the trainees' critical thinking and to present novel opportunities to question and evaluate cellular and molecular research important for human health. This interdisciplinary training program provides didactic and laboratory training of students in a range of fields that encompass many aspects of cell and molecular biology, culminating in the Ph.D. degree. Multiple training experiences include a round table journal club covering diverse scientific questions and methodologies and designed to stimulate critical analysis, breadth of thinking, and dialog; a faculty seminar series that combines a discussion of career path and cutting edge research; a poster with all CMB faculty; and a retreat in which students' present their ongoing research and plan the following year's activities. Scientists equipped with skills provided by this training program will perform inspired research that crosses disciplines to make discoveries that benefit human health in the future.

描述（由申请人提供）：德克萨斯大学西南医学中心的细胞和分子生物学（CMB）培训计划促进了博士学位的发展。在迅速变化的科学环境中，具有成功作为独立研究人员所必需的技能和资源的科学家。为了应对这种不断变化的环境，UT西南部的CMB培训计划主要由学员驱动。该计划侧重于细胞和分子生物学，以适用于医学进步，反映了他们训练的学生和实验室的研究兴趣。它提供了对生物数据的统计分析的正式培训，并强调了协作研究在获取快速发展所需的知识和技能方面的重要性。该计划为受训者提供独特的小组设置，以获取新知识，形成科学假设并进行严格分析数据。 学生通过撰写有关为什么要参加的研究摘要和个人陈述来争夺该培训计划中的职位。申请过程在博士学位的第二年或下半年向学生开放。计划或MSTP课程的第一个或第二研究生年。新学员由CMB指导委员会根据个人陈述，动机和研究主题的多样性选择。大多数学生在培训计划中工作了3年，通常包括一年的高级教学培训和多达2年的独立研究。目前，有14个授予的老虎机，由于NIH的预算限制，资助了13个。 跨学科的，以学生为中心的CMB计划旨在刺激学员的批判性思维，并提供新的机会，以质疑和评估对人类健康至关重要的细胞和分子研究。该跨学科培训计划为学生提供了教学和实验室培训 涵盖细胞和分子生物学许多方面的领域，最终在博士学位上。程度。多种培训经验包括一个圆桌会议俱乐部，涵盖了各种科学问题和方法论，并旨在刺激批判性分析，思维广度和对话；一个教师研讨会系列，结合了关于职业道路和尖端研究的讨论；所有CMB教师的海报；以及学生介绍正在进行的研究并计划第二年活动的务虚会。具有该培训计划提供的技能的科学家将进行启发的研究，该研究跨越学科，以使未来有利于人类健康的发现。
