 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Training Program in Cell and Molecular Biology (CMB) is an interdepartmental, cross- campus program that provides training for graduate students in cutting edge areas of basic and biomedical research. The program is housed on the University of Maryland's flagship campus in College Park and includes faculty from three colleges and seven departments on the College Park campus as well as faculty housed on our Shady Grove campus at the Institute for Bioscience and Biotechnology Research (IBBR). Our program trains students with a solid, required set of didactic classes, along with elective classes, laboratory rotations and individualized mentoring to guide students to achieve their utmost in their research programs. All students complete training in Teaching Science and in Responsible Conduct of Research and our students have the opportunity to serve as Teaching Assistants in our many undergraduate classes on the College Park campus. Our faculties are research active with histories of publication, funding and commitment to student training. Our students' complete Ph.D. Thesis projects present their research at regional and national scientific meetings; publish their work in excellent journals and most moves on to postdoctoral positions in academia, government labs or industry. Students attend seminars and journal clubs throughout their time in the CMB program and interact extensively with each other and with faculty through special interest meetings, an Annual Retreat and informally on a regular basis. Our students are energetic and highly motivated, with a graduate student association that meets for student-only practice talks, career development seminars and social events. Our campus, students and faculty are a diverse group of individuals coming together from different backgrounds to pursue their interests in a broad range of scientific areas from biomedical research on host pathogen interactions, to structural biology, basic and applied plant biology, developmental biology, evolutionary biology and more. Here, we request the first renewal of this CMB Training Program which has supported ten students over the past five years. In addition, the Dean of the College of Computer, Math and Natural Sciences has provided and will continue to provide two matching slots to support additional students, leveraging the impact of the NIH award, allowing us to support a total of sixteen students over the first five years of the program. This CMB training program has been of tremendous value to our campus, providing incentives for our students to excel, raising the stringency of program requirements, and providing a foundation for program activities that foster career training.

 描述（由申请人提供）：细胞和分子生物学培训项目（CMB）是一个跨部门、跨校园的项目，为基础和生物医学研究前沿领域的研究生提供培训。马里兰州大学公园分校的旗舰校区，包括来自大学公园校区的三所学院和七个系的教职人员，以及生物科学与生物技术研究所 (IBBR) 谢迪格罗夫校区的教职人员。一套扎实的、必需的教学课程，以及选修课、实验室轮换和个性化指导，以指导学生在研究项目中发挥最大作用。所有学生都完成科学教学和负责任的研究行为方面的培训，我们的学生都有机会。在大学公园校区的许多本科生课程中担任助教，我们的教师在出版、资助和致力于学生培训方面开展了积极的研究。发表他们的科学会议；在优秀期刊上工作，大多数人在学术界、政府实验室或工业界担任博士后职位，学生在 CMB 项目期间参加研讨会和期刊俱乐部，并通过特别兴趣会议、年度静修会和教师之间进行广泛的互动。我们的学生充满活力且积极性很高，我们的研究生协会定期举行仅限学生的实践讲座、职业发展研讨会和社交活动。我们的校园、学生和教师是来自不同国家的不同群体。不同背景的人追求自己的兴趣涵盖从宿主病原体相互作用的生物医学研究到结构生物学、基础和应用植物生物学、发育生物学、进化生物学等广泛的科学领域，我们请求首次续签该 CMB 培训计划，该计划已为十多名学生提供了支持。此外，在过去的五年中，计算机、数学和自然科学学院院长已经并将继续提供两个匹配名额来支持更多的学生，利用 NIH 奖项的影响力，使我们能够支持总共该计划的前五年有十六名学生。 该 CMB 培训计划对我们的校园具有巨大的价值，它为我们的学生提供了卓越的激励，提高了计划要求的严格性，并为促进职业培训的计划活动奠定了基础。
