DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Effective career training is essential for graduate students and postdoctoral associates to be successful in today's changing job market. This is especially true for researchers that work at interfaces between traditional disciplines such as the chemistry-biology interface. Existing career training mechanisms often do not address the career opportunities and the skills required for career opportunities at interfaces. This application proposes to improve career training at the chemistry-biology interface by organizing an annual conference focused on providing students and postdoctoral associates with information as to how to best prepare for certain career paths. In addition, the conference will strive to illustrate different potential careers at the chemistry- biology interface and to providea forum for students at the interface to communicate and network. The conference will be held annually, each year at a different Midwest institution with a strong program at the chemistry-biology interface to reach a broad audience, and the organizers will strive for a diverse make-up of attendees and work-shop leaders on all levels. The format will consist of career development workshops focused on diverse career paths such as careers in academic research institutions, teaching institutions, government laboratories, large biotech firms, start-up biotech firms, large pharmaceutical companies, large chemical companies, science writer/scientific publishing houses, funding agencies, venture capital firms, and patent law firms. Workshops will also provide training into successful grant writing and insights into the grant review process. Workshop leaders with successful careers in these diverse areas will provide specific insights into the actual experience of these career paths and, more importantly, explain to students how they can best prepare for a certain career path. In turn, biomedical research in the United States will benefit from more informed and prepared young scientists entering the workforce.

描述（由申请人提供）：有效的职业培训对于研究生和博士后同事在当今不断变化的就业市场中取得成功至关重要。对于在传统学科（例如 化学生物学界面。现有的职业培训机制通常无法解决界面上职业机会所需的职业机会和技能。该申请建议通过组织一次年度会议来改善化学生物学界面的职业培训，该会议的重点是为学生和博士后同事提供有关如何为某些职业道路做好准备的信息。此外，会议将努力在化学生物学界面和在界面上的学生进行交流和网络的Providea论坛上说明不同的潜在职业。该会议将每年每年在另一个中西部机构举行，并在化学生物学界面上有一个强大的计划，以吸引广泛的受众，组织者将努力在各个层面上为与会者和工作室领导者组成多样化。该格式将包括专注于各种职业道路的职业发展研讨会，例如学术研究机构的职业，教学机构，政府实验室，大型生物技术公司，启动生物技术公司，大型制药公司，大型化学公司，科学作家/科学作家/科学出版社，资助机构，Venture Cagital Cagital Firmes和Pate pathent Laud and Pathent Laucs和Pathent Laucs。讲习班还将为成功的赠款写作和赠款审查过程的见解提供培训。在这些不同领域拥有成功职业的研讨会领导者将为这些职业道路的实际经验提供特定的见解，更重要的是，向学生解释他们如何最好地为一定的职业道路做准备。反过来，美国的生物医学研究将受益于进入劳动力的更多知识和准备的年轻科学家。
