 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Rochester is distinguishing itself as an internationally recognized center for excellence in research and training in RNA, DNA and protein biochemistry. This recognition has been achieved in part by the successes of this training grant program, which is approaching its 10th year of funding. The objective of our Predoctoral Training Program in Cellular, Biochemical and Molecular Biology (http://www.urmc.rochester.edu/biochemistry-biophysics/education/cellular-biochemical-molecular-sciences/) is to provide contemporary training to the next generation of talented investigators, such that our graduates are poised to assume significant leadership positions in academia, government and industry. Our 38 faculty mentors come from a total of 12 different departments within the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC) and College of Arts, Sciences and Engineering (CASE). This highly dynamic and focused group of researchers with common interests and shared research goals provides a cohesive program with superb opportunities for interactions between different laboratories. We will maintain successful T32 initiatives: 1) provide one year of financial support for 7 students (an increase of 1) performing interdisciplinary research; 2) promote direct interactions between students and visiting seminar speakers; 3) enhance training in critical thinking in research; 4) provide opportunities for off-sie student travel to attend meetings, take courses, and work in outside laboratories; 5) counsel female and minority students to achieve career goals; 6) foster interactions among investigators and students in the areas of RNA, DNA and protein biochemistry through course requirements and a T32-sponsored yearly retreat; and 7) augment effective student recruiting through training-grant educational benefits. The learning environment will be further enriched with workshops to support trainee career development and training in the responsible conduct of research. The T32 Program is governed by a Steering Committee comprised of the Program Director, the co-Director, six Program Faculty Mentors, and two former T32 trainees. In 2008, Dr. Maquat, P.I. of this T32, founded the Center for RNA Biology at the University, which she proposed as a new initiative of the Medical Center's 2007-2012 strategic plan to focus on increasing innovation, collaboration and the ability to convert new basic science discoveries into novel therapies. Sixteen of the twenty faculty appointed in the Center for RNA Biology are faculty mentors within our T32 training program. As part of the Medical Center's current research strategic plan, the Center for RNA Biology has been identified as an Individual Research Program of Excellence, giving it priority for special allocation of resources, as well as concentrated efforts for faculty recruitment, all of which will increase the opportunities for graduate training. Within this expanding infrastructure, our T32 continues to promote interactions among labs, flexibility in the choice of research mentors, and improved graduate recruiting.

 描述（由申请人提供）：罗切斯特大学是国际公认的 RNA、DNA 和蛋白质生物化学研究和培训卓越中心，这一认可部分归功于该培训资助计划的成功。我们的细胞、生物化学和分子生物学博士前培训计划的资助目标即将到来。 （http://www.urmc.rochester.edu/biochemistry-biophysicals/education/cellular-biochemical-molecular-sciences/）旨在为下一代有才华的研究人员提供当代培训，以便我们的毕业生做好承担重要任务的准备。我们的 38 名导师来自罗彻斯特大学医学中心 (URMC) 和艺术、科学与工程学院 (CASE) 的 12 个不同部门。具有共同兴趣和共同研究目标的充满活力和专注的研究人员群体提供了一个有凝聚力的计划，为不同实验室之间的互动提供了绝佳的机会。我们将保持成功的 T32 计划：1）为 7 名学生提供一年的经济支持（增加 1 名）。进行跨学科研究； 2) 促进学生与来访研讨会演讲者之间的直接互动； 3) 加强研究中批判性思维的培训； 4) 为学生提供外出参加会议、参加课程和在外部实验室工作的机会； ）为女性和少数族裔学生提供咨询以实现职业目标；6) 通过课程要求和 T32 赞助的年度静修会促进研究人员和学生之间在 RNA、DNA 和蛋白质生物化学领域的互动；以及 7) 通过培训补助金增强学生招募的效率；学习环境将通过研讨会进一步丰富，以支持受训者的职业发展和负责任的研究行为培训。T32 项目由项目主任、联合主任和六名项目教师导师组成的指导委员会管理。 ，和两个前2008 年，T32 的 P.I. Maquat 博士在大学成立了 RNA 生物学中心，她提出该中心是医学中心 2007-2012 年战略计划的一项新举措，重点是加强创新、协作和研究。 RNA 生物学中心任命的 20 名教员中有 16 名是我们 T32 培训计划的教员导师。目前的研究战略规划，RNA生物学中心已被确定为卓越个别研究计划，优先安排专项资源，并集中力量招收师资，增加研究生培养的机会。在这个不断扩大的基础设施中，我们的 T32 继续促进实验室之间的互动、研究导师选择的灵活性以及改进的毕业生招聘。
