DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The challenge of drug-resistant microbes requires that a new generation of basic scientists be broadly trained and educated in anti-infective research so that a cadre of investigators will be available in the future to combat this global health problem. Coupled with the problem of resistance, this need is especially acute given the reduced number of new, effective antibiotics that have entered clinical practice in the past two decades. Thus, the objective of this new training grant at Emory University is to provide high quality training to a select group of highly motivated graduate students for careers as independent investigators in research on anti- infectives. The program will select three PhD candidates yearly from four graduate programs within the Graduate Division of Biological and Biomedical Sciences of Emory University for a two year period of training in the areas of antimicrobial resistance and therapeutic discovery. These graduate programs include faculty members from basic science and clinical departments of the School of Medicine, Emory College of Arts and Sciences and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Educational training will consist of a course of study and programmatic events in sub-disciplines that emphasize research and education in anti-infective resistance and drug development; research training opportunities are provided in 25 laboratories with active research programs in these areas of research.

描述（由申请人提供）：耐药微生物的挑战要求对新一代的基础科学家进行反感性研究的培训和教育，以便将来将有大批研究人员来解决这个全球健康问题。再加上抵抗的问题，鉴于过去二十年来已经进入临床实践的新有效抗生素数量减少了，这种需求尤其急剧。因此，埃默里大学（Emory University）的这项新培训补助金的目标是为一组精选积极进取的研究生提供高质量的培训，以作为抗感染研究的独立研究人员的职业生涯。该计划将从埃默里大学生物学和生物医学科学研究生部门的四个研究生课程中选择三名博士学位候选人，以在抗菌耐药性和治疗发现领域进行两年的培训。这些研究生课程包括埃默里艺术与科学学院医学院基础科学和临床系的教职员工以及疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）。教育培训将包括在子学科中的一项研究和程序化事件，这些过程强调了反感性抵抗和药物开发中的研究和教育；在这些研究领域的25个实验室中提供了25个实验室的研究培训机会。
