DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is for a National Research Service Award in Cellular, Biochemical, and Molecular Sciences to train six predoctoral students for the Ph.D. degree at the Watson School of Biological Sciences at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. The Watson School provides broad training in the biological sciences including genetics, cellular and molecular biology, biochemistry and biophysics, structural biology, developmental biology, cancer, neuroscience, virology, protein chemistry, cell cycle regulation, plant genetics, electrophysiology, behavior, imaging, bioinformatics, and genomics. The School has designed an innovative Ph.D. curriculum to train future leaders in the biological sciences. Our innovative doctoral program includes the following key features: (i) approximately four years from matriculation to Ph.D., (ii) a broad representation of the biological sciences, (iii) a first year with course work and laboratory rotations in separate phases, (iv) emphasis on the principles of scientific reasoning and logic as well as the importance of ethics and effective communication, (v) continued advanced course instruction throughout the graduate curriculum, (vi) extensive mentoring and support in large part through our "two-tier" mentoring program. The doctoral program that the School has developed to meet its goals is intense and is designed for students with a deep commitment to their graduate education. There have been two graduating classes thus far where six doctoral degrees were awarded in each case. Overall for the twelve graduates the average time to degree was 4.25 years, with four of the graduates completing their doctoral studies in less than four years. Although we are still a very young School we believe that the scientific research achievements of our trainees have been outstanding, as evidenced by the quality and number of their publications the Awards and Fellowships they have obtained and their post graduation placements.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案旨在获得细胞、生物化学和分子科学领域的国家研究服务奖，以培训六名博士生攻读博士学位。冷泉港实验室沃森生物科学学院博士学位。沃森学院提供广泛的生物科学培训，包括遗传学、细胞和分子生物学、生物化学和生物物理学、结构生物学、发育生物学、癌症、神经科学、病毒学、蛋白质化学、细胞周期调控、植物遗传学、电生理学、行为、成像、生物信息学和基因组学。学院设计了一个创新的博士课程。培养生物科学未来领导者的课程。我们的创新博士课程包括以下主要特点：（i）从预科到博士学位大约四年，（ii）生物科学的广泛代表性，（iii）第一年的课程作业和实验室轮换分阶段进行，（iv）强调科学推理和逻辑的原则以及道德和有效沟通的重要性，（v）在整个研究生课程中继续进行高级课程教学，（vi）在很大程度上通过我们的“两个-tier”指导计划。学院为实现其目标而开发的博士课程内容丰富，专为致力于研究生教育的学生而设计。迄今为止，已有两个毕业班，每个班都授予了六个博士学位。总体而言，这 12 名毕业生的平均获得学位时间为 4.25 年，其中 4 名毕业生在不到四年的时间内完成了博士学业。尽管我们仍然是一所非常年轻的学校，但我们相信我们的学员的科研成就非常出色，这从他们的出版物的质量和数量、他们获得的奖项和奖学金以及毕业后的安置就可以看出。
