DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a proposal to establish an institutional NRSA training program for predoctoral trainees in the Departments of Biological Sciences and Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Notre Dame. The purpose of this program is to train a highly qualified group of predoctoral students in an interdisciplinary environment that will provide them with significant cross-training at the interface of chemistry, biochemistry, and biology. The long term goals of this program are to prepare our trainees to be able to conduct independent interdisciplinary biomedical research, to work effectively in an interdisciplinary team setting, and to train others in interdisciplinary research. We also aim to foster a greater level of interaction and collaboration between biologists, biochemists, and chemists. The characteristics of our research training program include the following: A large applicant pool of highly qualified candidates A strong record of interactions and collaborations between participating laboratories A diverse and strong group of experienced, productive, and federally-funded investigators available to serve as research mentors Laboratory rotations for students prior to selection of a thesis mentor An extended cross-training experience outside the mentor's laboratory Supplementation of training with seminars, lecture series, monthly trainee meetings, and an annual retreat Tracking of each trainee's progress towards their research training goals by an individual advisory committee and by the program's steering committee Mechanisms for continuous evaluation and improvement of the training program, professional development, career placement, and attraction and retention of underrepresented minorities Excellent research facilities equipped with state-of-the-art instrumentation Strong institutional commitment, with the University of Notre Dame providing a fellowship match in a 1:1 ratio and stipend supplementation of trainees

描述（由申请人提供）：这是一项为圣母大学生物科学系和化学与生物化学系的博士前培训生建立机构 NRSA 培训计划的提案。 该项目的目的是在跨学科环境中培养一批高素质的博士前学生，为他们提供化学、生物化学和生物学领域的重要交叉培训。 该计划的长期目标是培养我们的学员能够进行独立的跨学科生物医学研究，在跨学科团队环境中有效工作，并培训其他人进行跨学科研究。 我们还旨在促进生物学家、生物化学家和化学家之间更高水平的互动与合作。 我们的研究培训计划具有以下特点： 大量高素质候选人 参与实验室之间良好的互动和合作记录 一支多元化且强大的团队，由经验丰富、富有成效且由联邦资助的研究人员组成，可作为研究导师在选择论文导师之前为学生进行实验室轮换 导师实验室外的长期交叉培训经验 通过研讨会、讲座系列、每月受训者会议和年度静修来补充培训 跟踪每位受训者实现研究培训目标的进度由个人咨询委员会和项目指导委员会负责 持续评估和改进培训项目、专业发展、职业安置以及吸引和保留代表性不足的少数群体的机制 配备最先进仪器的优秀研究设施 强大的机构承诺，圣母大学按1:1比例提供奖学金匹配，并为学员提供津贴补贴
