DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal requests funding for the predoctoral Chemical Biology Training Program at Stony Brook University (SBU). This interdisciplinary and interdepartmental Program offers chemical biology training opportunities for Ph.D. students selected from four participating units: the Biochemistry & Structural Biology, the Chemistry, the Molecular Genetics & Microbiology, and the Molecular & Cellular Pharmacology graduate programs. Participating faculty mentors (29) have research interests in infectious disease, cancer and toxicology, immunology, developmental biology, energy-harvesting, cell-signaling, organic synthesis, physical organic chemistry, enzymology, and materials chemistry. Trainees are educated in the principles and techniques of both chemistry and biology with a core interdisciplinary three-semester Chemical Biology course sequence. All trainees and mentors participate in the Institute of Chemical Biology and Drug Discovery annual symposium and poster session. This retreat is one avenue by which extensive interactions between students and faculty are fostered and the trainee group maintains a cohesive identity. The students meet for lunch with a Program Director or Mentor once per month during the academic year as a forum for feedback on careers, program assessment and two-way feedback. Trainees participate in their home graduate program research clubs and seminar series to broaden their knowledge and networking opportunities beyond the training program. In their fourth year, trainees work with Journalism faculty to convert their previously prepared research talks to presentations that non-scientists can understand and appreciate with the most compelling to be presented in a community outreach forum. Trainees invite outside seminar speakers. Instruction in the responsible conduct of research is carried out primarily through participation the course, "Scientific Integrity". Recruitment of underrepresented groups is achieved through the SBU AGEP summer undergraduate research programs and extensive outreach. The number of mentors participating in the CBI Training Program is 29 and four funded positions are requested in the first year and eight funded positions are requested in subsequent years.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案请求为石溪大学（SBU）的博士前化学生物学培训项目提供资金。这个跨学科和跨部门的项目为博士生提供化学生物学培训机会。学生从四个参与单位中选出：生物化学与结构生物学、化学、分子遗传学与微生物学以及分子与细胞药理学研究生课程。参与的教师导师（29 名）的研究兴趣包括传染病、癌症和毒理学、免疫学、发育生物学、能量收集、细胞信号传导、有机合成、物理有机化学、酶学和材料化学。通过为期三个学期的核心跨学科化学生物学课程序列，学员将接受化学和生物学原理和技术的教育。所有学员和导师都参加化学生物学和药物发现研究所的年度研讨会和海报会议。这次务虚会是促进学生和教师之间广泛互动以及学员群体保持有凝聚力的身份的一种途径。在学年期间，学生每月与项目总监或导师共进午餐一次，作为职业反馈、项目评估和双向反馈的论坛。学员参加他们的国内研究生项目研究俱乐部和研讨会系列，以扩大培训项目之外的知识和交流机会。在第四年，学员与新闻系教师合作，将他们之前准备的研究演讲转化为非科学家可以理解和欣赏的演示文稿，并在社区外展论坛上展示最引人注目的演示文稿。学员邀请外部研讨会发言人。负责任的研究行为的指导主要通过参加“科学诚信”课程来进行。通过 SBU AGEP 夏季本科研究项目和广泛的外展活动招募代表性不足的群体。参加 CBI 培训计划的导师人数为 29 名，第一年申请 4 个资助职位，随后几年申请 8 个资助职位。
