# Molecular and Cellular Biophysics Training Grant

> **NIH NIH T32** · UNIV OF NORTH CAROLINA CHAPEL HILL · 2021 · $390,103

## Abstract

Abstract
The University of North Carolina (UNC) Molecular and Cellular Biophysics Program (MCBP) is a successful
interdisciplinary graduate training program with three essential goals: 1. To attract a diverse cohort of talented
post-graduate students to apply the methods and concepts of the quantitative and mathematical sciences to
problems in biology; 2. To provide a flexible vehicle for training this diverse group of graduate students who
share with our biophysics faculty a commitment to developing molecular level descriptions of complex biological
systems and processes; 3. To foster interactions and enhance the training and research environment within this
diverse group of faculty and students. In the previous funding period we achieved a number of important goals
including transition to new leadership, successful establishment of MCBP as an official UNC Certificate Program,
the development of a new “Computational Biophysics Track”, and the continued recruitment of well-qualified
Trainees. This application is for continued funding of this successful training program in an area critical to
biomedical research. In addition to maintaining a wide range of program activities, in the next grant period we
will focus on three specific aims: 1. Expand the curriculum to offer training in cryo-electron microscopy and
familiarize students with resources in fabrication; 2. Enhance training in ethics and rigor and reproducibility while
strengthening our community; 3. Improve faculty mentoring skills through a new mentoring workshop sponsored
by the UNC School of Medicine.
