DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is for continued NIH support for predoctoral training within the interdepartmental Training Program in Genetics (TPG) of Yale University. For 2010-2011, there are 30 TPG graduate students, of which 14 (in years 1 to 3) are currently supported by the NIH predoctoral training grant in Genetics. The program is overseen by two co-Directors, Christine Jacobs- Wagner and Valerie Reinke, and an executive committee of 7 faculty members representing a cross-section of the genetics research community at Yale. Seventy-three faculty from departments of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) and the Yale Medical School are involved in the program as trainers. The principal administrative and training entities are within three departments: the department of Genetics at the Yale Medical School and the departments of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology (MCDB) and Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB) in the FAS. The program offers training in all aspects of modern genetics, including clinical genetics, DNA repair and cancer genetics, genomics and bioinformatics, microbial genetics, developmental genetics, immunogenetics, and evolutionary and population genetics. All students admitted to the program have at least a Bachelor's degree in a relevant field and enter via application to the Yale interdepartmental program in Biological and Biomedical Sciences (BBS) or to the EEB program. Two major improvements have been made to the program. Starting Fall 2012, the students will receive full institutional support (stipend, tuition and health benefits) from Yale during their first year, whih includes formal course work and three research rotations. A new course in modern genetic and genome analysis, with emphasis on quantitative methods, has been designed and is now available during the spring semester. At the end of year 1, students select a doctoral advisor from the pool of participating TPG faculty. Year 2 consists of intensive research, course work, and the qualifying examination, which has written and oral components. The Training Program in Genetics also features a student-organized annual symposium, an in-house research-in-progress seminar series, and various workshops. All students experience at least one-year of supervised teaching and receive travel funds to attend and present their work at national or international scientific meetings. All TPG students are mentored by the TPG directors, in addition to their thesis committee. The majority of graduates go on to leading positions in academic and research institutions or in biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. Given the new institutional support for the first year, the quality and depth of our pool of applicants, and the strengths of our current training in Genetics, we request funds to support 16 graduate students in years 2 to 3 for a five-year period.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案是为了继续支持耶鲁大学遗传学培训计划（TPG）内部培训前培训。在2010 - 2011年，有30名TPG研究生，其中14名（在1至3年中）目前得到了NIH遗传学培训授予的资助。该计划由两个联合主任Christine Jacobs- Wagner和Valerie Reinke负责监督，以及由7名教职员工组成的执行委员会，代表耶鲁大学的遗传学研究社区的横截面。艺术与科学学院（FAS）和耶鲁医学院系的73位教职员工作为培训师参与该计划。主要行政和培训实体在三个部门内：耶鲁医学院的遗传学部以及分子，细胞和发育生物学（MCDB）以及FAS中的生态生物学（EEB）。该计划提供了现代遗传学各个方面的培训，包括临床遗传学，DNA修复和癌症遗传学，基因组学和生物信息学，微生物遗传学，发育遗传学，免疫遗传学以及进化论和人群遗传学。所有接受该计划的学生至少都具有相关领域的学士学位，并通过申请到耶鲁大学生物和生物医学科学（BBS）或EEB计划的耶鲁大学跨部门计划。该计划已经进行了两个重大改进。从2012年秋季开始，学生将在第一年获得耶鲁大学的全部机构支持（津贴，学费和健康福利），其中包括正式的课程工作和三项研究轮换。现代遗传和基因组分析的新课程，重点是定量方法，现已在春季学期期间使用。在第1年底，学生从参与TPG教职员工的库中选择一位博士顾问。 2年级包括密集研究，课程工作和合格考试，这些考试已编写和口头成分。遗传学的培训计划还包括一个由学生组织的年度研讨会，内部研究中的研讨会系列和各种研讨会。所有学生都至少经历了一年的监督教学，并获得旅行资金，以参加并在国家或国际科学会议上介绍他们的工作。除论文委员会外，所有TPG学生都受TPG董事的指导。大多数毕业生都在学术和研究机构或生物技术和制药公司领域的领导地位。鉴于第一年的新机构支持，我们的申请人库的质量和深度以及当前遗传学培训的优势，我们要求资金在五年期间为2至3年的16年中的16名研究生提供支持。
