 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the Molecular Biology Program at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus is to train outstanding research scientists and academicians who will become future leaders in their chosen fields and disciplines. To accomplish this goal we carefully select high quality students from diverse backgrounds with strong academic records and a demonstrated aptitude, commitment and passion for research. The training program is flexible and highly student orientated to meet individual needs, but at the same time has a rigorous curriculum, sets high standards. Molecular Biology is designed as a 5-6 year program with the first year devoted to challenging course work and laboratory rotations, the second year to the development of a research hypothesis, and the remaining years to completion of the thesis research project under the guidance of a training faculty mentor and thesis committee. To further develop research skills, students at all stages of the curriculum participate in additional program specific activities including a weekly seminar series, roundtable discussions, the annual symposium and our retreat. Our curriculum strongly emphasizes the development of critical and creative independent thinking, quantitative and statistical abilities, scientific communication skills, and professional/responsible conduct. A significant strength of the program is its outstanding and highly interactive faculty from 15 different departments who are deeply committed to graduate education and to the Program. As the only NIH-supported training program on our campus focused on research into fundamental molecular and cellular mechanisms, program faculty labs offer research opportunities for our students in multiple disciplines (structure, immunology, cell biology and biochemistry), disease models (cancer, autoimmunity, infectious diseases, and developmental disorders), and organismal models (viruses, bacteria, yeast, tetrahymena, flies, worms, mice and humans). The training success of our program is evident in student publications and in the high quality postdoctoral, faculty and industry positions obtained by our students. Given the depth, quality and diversity of our student pool and our demonstrated ability to train high quality students, we are requesting an increase in student positions to be supported by this training grant from 6 to 8/yr.

 描述（由适用提供）：科罗拉多州安索斯大学医学校园的分子生物学计划的目标是培训杰出的研究科学家和院士，他们将成为所选领域和学科的未来领导者。为了实现这一目标，我们仔细地选择了来自潜水员背景的高质量学生，并具有强大的学术记录以及对研究的才能，承诺和热情。培训计划是灵活的，并且以学生为导向，以满足个人需求，但同时具有严格的课程，设定了高标准。分子生物学被设计为一项5 - 6年的计划，第一年致力于挑战课程工作和实验室轮换，第二年，用于发展研究假设，以及在培训教师心理和论文委员会的指导下完成论文研究项目的剩余几年。进一步发展研究技能，课程的各个阶段的学生参与其他计划的特定活动，包括每周的半身系列， 圆桌讨论，年度研讨会和我们的务虚会。我们的课程强调了批判性和创造性独立思维，定量和统计能力，科学沟通技巧以及专业/负责任的行为的发展。该计划的重要优势是其杰出且高度互动的教师来自15个不同部门，他们深深地致力于研究生教育和该计划。作为我们校园中唯一的NIH支持培训计划，重点是研究基本分子和细胞机制，计划教师实验室为我们的学生提供多个学科（结构，免疫学，细胞生物学和生物化学），疾病模型（癌症，自身免疫性，感染性疾病，疾病和有机疾病，尤其疾病），以及有机疾病，病毒式疾病（病毒性疾病），为我们的学生提供研究机会。苍蝇，蠕虫，老鼠和人类）。我们计划的培训成功是学生出版物以及我们学生获得的高质量博士后，教师和行业职位的证据。鉴于我们的学生池的深度，质量和多样性以及我们表现出的培训高质量学生的能力，我们要求增加学生职位，以便从6至8年获得该培训赠款的支持。
