DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application for a training program in Immunology and Pathogenesis (IMP) is designed to support the training activities of ten field-leading scientists whose research centers on immunobiology, the faculty members are all members of the Department of Molecular and Cell Biology (MCB), and each has ample research support and a strong commitment to mentoring. The training program is centered in the MCB Division of Immunology and Pathogenesis, in which most training faculty are members. The IMP Training program will focus on basic immunological mechanisms in the context of infections, cancer and immunopathology. We are motivated by the shared belief that achieving a thorough, basic understanding of recognition, activation, regulation, differentiation and interactions of cells of he immune system will lead to therapies for infectious disease, cancer and other ailments, and that training young investigators in this approach, while providing broad training in basic molecular and cell biology, offers a most productive avenue for enhancing success in this endeavor. The MCB Department and the training faculty have a long-standing and defining principle for training: early, persistent emphasis on student and postdoc training for an individually directed path to innovative research. The program is strongly committed to recruiting and training students and postdocs from diverse personal backgrounds. The IMP program will provide a home for trainees in Immunology and Pathogenesis and support for training related activities. We propose support for 3 graduate students and 3 postdoctoral fellows. Graduate students will generally be supported starting in their second year to ensure commitment to the research area and to provide additional information to evaluate their capability of providing exceptional contributions to the program. Postdoctoral trainees will generally be supported starting in their first or second year. In general trainees will be supported for 2 years on the training grant, with additional years supported from other sources. The training grant is designed to be the successor of an NCI-supported training grant (Molecular Immunology and Tumor Biology Training Program, T32 CA009179), which supported immunology research at Berkeley for 35 years. Due to the evolution of the research programs and new recruitments to the Division, the focus of that training grant solely on cancer has become increasingly restrictive. We therefore concluded that an NIAID-supported training grant focused more broadly on immunobiology research is a much better fit for our group. Consequently we are applying for this new training grant rather than for a renewal of T32 CA009179.

描述（由申请人提供）：此免疫学和发病机制（IMP）培训项目申请旨在支持十名领域领先科学家的培训活动，他们的研究中心是免疫生物学，教职人员都是分子系的成员和细胞生物学 (MCB)，每个学科都拥有充足的研究支持和坚定的指导承诺。培训计划以 MCB 免疫学和发病机制部门为中心，大多数培训教师都是该部门的成员。 IMP 培训计划将重点关注感染、癌症和免疫病理学背景下的基本免疫机制。我们的共同信念是，对免疫系统细胞的识别、激活、调节、分化和相互作用进行全面、基本的了解将导致传染病、癌症和其他疾病的治疗，并在这方面培训年轻的研究人员该方法在提供基础分子和细胞生物学方面的广泛培训的同时，为促进这一努力的成功提供了最富有成效的途径。 MCB 部门和培训教师有一个长期且明确的培训原则：早期、持续地强调学生和博士后培训，以实现个性化的创新研究之路。该项目致力于招募和培训来自不同个人背景的学生和博士后。 IMP 项目将为免疫学和发病机制的学员提供一个家，并为培训相关活动提供支持。我们建议支持 3 名研究生和 3 名博士后。研究生通常会从第二年开始获得支持，以确保他们对研究领域的投入，并提供额外的信息来评估他们为该项目做出杰出贡献的能力。博士后培训生通常会从第一年或第二年开始获得支持。一般来说，受训者将获得为期 2 年的培训补助金，其中 其他来源支持的额外年数。该培训补助金旨在继承 NCI 支持的培训补助金（分子免疫学和肿瘤生物学培训计划，T32 CA009179），后者支持伯克利分校的免疫学研究 35 年。由于研究项目的发展和该部门的新招募，仅针对癌症的培训补助金的重点变得越来越严格。因此，我们得出的结论是，NIAID 支持的、更广泛地关注免疫生物学研究的培训拨款更适合我们的团队。因此，我们正在申请这项新的培训补助金，而不是续订 T32 CA009179。
