 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a proposal to renew and grow the University of Michigan Bioinformatics Training Program (U-M BITP), now in year 10, to 8 trainee slots/year for 2-3 years of pre-doctoral training, usually between years 1 and 3. BITP continues to be a part of our now well established and widely respected U-M Bioinformatics Graduate Program (BGP). The BGP (and its BITP) is an interdisciplinary graduate training program in bioinformatics and computational biology, drawing faculty from the School of Medicine, College of Engineering, College of Literature, Sciences and the Arts (LS&A; Including the Departments of Mathematics, Statistics, Chemistry, and Physics), the School of Public Health, School of Nursing, the College of Pharmacy, and the School of Information. The BGP and BITP are embedded in the U-M Center for Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics (CCMB), an interdisciplinary research and education center that provide the interdisciplinary research and training context. CCMB currently has 127 affiliate faculty members across the U-M, 48 of whom are participating in this BITP as potential primary mentors. CCMB is hosted within our University of Michigan Medical School Department of Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics (DCM&B), which currently has 14 primary faculty appointments, plus 12 affiliate faculty, and 4 research track core faculty members. All core DCM&B faculty members are eligible mentors of BITP trainees. BITP trainees have a full curriculum of Bioinformatics, Statistics, Data Science, and Biology/Biomedicine graduate courses to choose from, journal clubs, seminars, workshops, and special events. The BITP dissertation training utilizes a "dual-mentor" approach, which combines quantitative/computational and DBP application elements. The U-M-based tranSMART Foundation, cancer biostatistics, proteome informatics activities, NIDDK Metabolomics Center, and the CTSA Biomedical Informatics Program have all achieved national recognition, and are a natural magnet for BITP trainees. The goal of the BITP is to train students in bioinformatics and applied computational biology by engaging them in a rigorous curriculum and pre-doctoral training experience. BITP trainees engage in cutting-edge collaborative research featuring a strong "driving biological problem" (DBP) application, often leading BTP trainees to have a strong T1 Translational Research orientation. The BGP has graduated 55 Ph.D. trainees in bioinformatics since its first in 2006. Within this trainee cohort, 10 BTP traines have graduated to date. These graduates have launched exciting careers in industry, academics, and government. The BGP and BITP has established a Data Science Training Track, and is actively engaged in the emerging Michigan Institute for Data Science (MIDAS), which will be offering a Data Science Certificate to enhance bioinformatics training for Data Science Concentrators. The overall objective of the BTP is to provide the finest Bioinformatics Training environment and trainee experience available in the US.

 描述（由适用提供）：这是一项提议，旨在更新和发展密歇根大学的生物信息学培训计划（U-M BITP），现在在第10年，到8年的学位培训，每年为8年的培训，通常是1至3年之间的2 - 3年，通常是我们现在已经建立的良好的BG，并且是广泛培养的U-M BioBioBiobio-BioBioIntrics（BG）的一部分（ BGP（及其BITP）是一项跨学科生物信息学和计算生物学的研究生培训计划，从医学院，工程学院，文学学院，科学与艺术学院（LS＆A；包括数学，统计学，化学，化学和物理学），学院，医学院和学院，培训，医学院和学院。 BGP和BITP嵌入了U-M计算医学和生物信息学中心（CCMB），这是一个跨学科研究和教育中心，提供跨学科研究和培训环境。 CCMB目前在U-M中拥有127位会员教职员工，其中48位正在参加此BITP作为潜在的主要导师。 CCMB在我们的密歇根大学医学院计算医学和生物信息学系（DCM＆B）内主持，目前有14个主要教师任命，外加12名会员教师，以及4位研究轨道核心教师。所有核心DCM＆B教职员工都是BITP受训者的合格导师。 BITP受训人员拥有完整的生物信息学，统计学，数据科学以及生物学/生物医学研究生课程，可供选择，期刊俱乐部，半手，讲习班和特殊活动。 BITP论文培训采用了一种“双向器”方法，该方法结合了定量/计算和DBP应用程序元素。基于U-M的Transmart基金会，癌症生物统计学，蛋白质信息组知识活动，NIDDK代谢组学中心和CTSA生物医学信息学计划都获得了国家认可，并且是BITP受训者的天然磁铁。 BITP的目的是通过使学生参与严格的课程和博士前培训经验来培训学生进行生物信息学和应用计算生物学。 BITP受训人员从事尖端的协作研究，具有强大的“驱动生物问题”（DBP）应用程序，通常会导致BTP受训者具有强大的T1转化研究取向。 BGP毕业55博士学位。自2006年首次生物信息学学员以来。在这位受训的人群中，有10位BTP受训者迄今已毕业。这些毕业生在行业，学术界和政府中开展了令人兴奋的职业。 BGP和BITP已经建立了数据科学培训轨道，并积极参与新兴的密歇根州数据科学研究所（MIDAS），该研究所将提供数据科学证书，以增强针对数据科学集中器的生物信息学培训。 BTP的总体目标是提供美国提供最好的生物信息学培训环境和受训者的经验。
