DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal seeks continued and increased support for graduate training in genetics and genomics in the Duke University Program in Genetics and Genomics, a unique training program that is degree granting and currently encompasses 71 faculty and 64 students in the Departments of Biochemistry, Cell Biology, Immunology, Medicine, Microbiology and Molecular Genetics (MGM), Pathology, Pediatrics, Pharmacology and Cancer Biology, and Radiation Oncology in the Medical Center and from the Departments of Biology and Chemistry in the School of Arts and Sciences. Research interests span traditional and molecular genetics, model systems (bacteria, yeast, and flies), plant biology, human genetics, developmental biology, population genetics, and genome sciences. Students apply directly to the program for graduate training at Duke, most from undergraduate programs in the biological or physical sciences. Admission is based on GRE scores, GPA, letters of recommendation, research interests and experience, and an interview at Duke. During the first program year, students attend courses, rotate in labs, and meet with the first year advisory committee. At the conclusion of the first year, students choose a lab and thesis advisor, and ultimately receive their degree via the program or host department. Duke has recently established the Institute for Genome Sciences and Policy (IGSP), and we have forged a close link between the genetics program and both the IGSP and its director, Hunt Willard, We are expanding the genetics program to include genome sciences in a joint program to be called the Duke University Program in Genetics and Genomics (UPGG). Thus, we have expanded our seminar series to the full academic year with the IGSP providing one-half of the support. We have launched a distinguished lecturer series to complement the genetics and genomics seminar series. We have also instituted a program retreat organized and conducted by students, which was held at the beach in 2002 and the mountains in 2003 The program is administered by the Director (Joe Heitman), the Co-director (Doug Marchuk), the Director of Graduate Studies (Marcy Speer), and the IGSP Director (Hunt Willard) together with the executive committee. Currently, the NIH provides support for four new students per year, and Duke University via the Deans supports eight new students per year. Here we seek to expand the NIH supported portion of the training program to a total of eight new students per year.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案寻求对杜克大学遗传学和基因组学项目中遗传学和基因组学研究生培训的持续和更多支持，该项目是一个独特的学位授予培训项目，目前涵盖各系的 71 名教员和 64 名学生医学领域的生物化学、细胞生物学、免疫学、医学、微生物学和分子遗传学（MGM）、病理学、儿科、药理学和癌症生物学以及放射肿瘤学中心和艺术与科学学院生物系和化学系。研究兴趣涵盖传统和分子遗传学、模型系统（细菌、酵母和苍蝇）、植物生物学、人类遗传学、发育生物学、群体遗传学和基因组科学。学生直接申请杜克大学研究生培训项目，其中大部分来自生物或物理科学本科项目。录取取决于 GRE 成绩、GPA、推荐信、研究兴趣和经验以及杜克大学的面试。在第一年的课程中，学生参加课程，在实验室轮换，并与第一年的咨询委员会会面。第一年结束时，学生选择一名实验室和论文导师，并最终通过项目或主办部门获得学位。 杜克大学最近成立了基因组科学与政策研究所 (IGSP)，我们在遗传学项目与 IGSP 及其所长 Hunt Willard 之间建立了密切的联系。我们正在扩大遗传学项目，将基因组科学纳入联合研究项目。该计划被称为杜克大学遗传学和基因组学计划（UPGG）。因此，我们将研讨会系列扩展到整个学年，IGSP 提供一半的支持。我们推出了杰出的讲师系列来补充遗传学和基因组学研讨会系列。我们还开展了由学生组织和主持的静修计划，分别于 2002 年在海滩和 2003 年在山区举行 该项目由主任 (Joe Heitman)、联合主任 (Doug Marchuk)、研究生主任 (Marcy Speer) 和 IGSP 主任 (Hunt Willard) 以及执行委员会管理。目前，美国国立卫生研究院每年为四名新生提供支持，杜克大学通过院长每年为八名新生提供支持。在这里，我们寻求将 NIH 支持的培训计划部分扩大到每年总共 8 名新生。
