DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal requests funds to support predoctoral trainees in a recently established and novel training program at Wake Forest University School of Medicine, which confers a doctorate in Molecular Medicine. The Molecular Medicine program addresses the critical need for generating talented research scientists who can pursue a career that lies at the interface between basic and clinical investigative medicine. There are several distinctive features of this Molecular Medicine graduate program. A team containing both an M.D. and a Ph.D. provides formalized mentoring for each trainee. Trainees become members of a newly established multidisciplinary NIH funded Program for Clinical Research (PCR), which provides administrative support for the Molecular Medicine Ph.D. program, a Masters in Molecular Medicine program for physicians, a Masters program in Epidemiology and Health Services for physicians and other health care professionals, and the MD/PhD program of the medical school. Complementary collegial and educational interactions occur among all trainees in the graduate programs. An emphasis is placed on training in the conduct of research/ethics, recruitment of minorities, career development in academic research, and marketing the program. Other novel features specific of the Molecular Medicine predoctoral program include a course involving direct interaction of trainees with physicians and patients, and a highly specialized didactic course to Molecular Basis of Human Disease. Trainees perform cutting-edge research that is focused in either human genetics and gene expression, or human cell biology (signaling, protein trafficking, growth and differentiation, and apoptosis). These research experiences translate to the fields of cancer, infectious and allergic diseases, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, renal diseases, pain control, and the neuroscience of substance abuse. A multidisciplinary faculty comes from the clinical sciences Departments of Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Surgery, and Anesthesiology, the basic sciences Departments of Biochemistry, Physiology and Pharmacology, Microbiology and Immunology, Cancer Biology, and Pathology, and from the newly established Center for Human Genetics. This training grant will allow continued growth and recruitment of the most competitive applicants and minorities into the Program.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案要求资金在最近建立且新颖的培训计划中支持沃克森林大学医学院的新培训计划，该计划赋予了分子医学博士学位。 分子医学计划解决了产生才华横溢的研究科学家的关键需求，他们可以从事基础研究和临床研究医学之间界面的职业。 该分子医学研究生计划有几个独特的特征。 一支拥有医学博士和博士学位的团队为每个学员提供正式的指导。 学员成为新成立的成员 多学科NIH资助的临床研究计划（PCR），该计划为分子医学博士提供行政支持。计划是医生分子医学硕士课程，医生和其他医疗保健专业人员的流行病学和健康服务硕士课程，以及医学院的MD/PHD计划。 在研究生课程中，所有学员之间发生了互补的大学和教育互动。 重点是在进行研究/伦理学，少数民族招募，学术研究中的职业发展和营销该计划的培训。 分子医学专业计划的其他新型特征包括一项涉及学员与医生和患者直接相互作用的课程，以及针对人类疾病的分子基础的高度专业的教学课程。 学员进行了尖端研究，该研究集中在人类遗传学和基因表达或人类细胞生物学（信号，蛋白质运输，生长和分化以及凋亡）中。 这些研究 经历转化为癌症，传染病和过敏性疾病，心血管疾病，糖尿病，肾脏疾病，疼痛控制以及药物滥用的神经科学的领域。 多学科的教师来自内科，儿科，手术和麻醉学的临床科学系，生物化学，生理学和药理学，微生物学和免疫学，癌症生物学和病理学以及新成立的人类遗传学中心的基础科学系。 这项培训补助金将允许最有竞争力的申请人和少数民族的持续增长和招募。
