## Abstract

Training Abstract
MMBioS will continue to prioritize providing the necessary training for those interested in modeling biological
systems at multiple scales to seamlessly use the computational technology developed in the TR&Ds. Our
Training mission is three-fold: (i) to train both experimental and computational researchers to use modern
computing technologies being developed and implemented at the MMBioS and to facilitate the adoption of
these technologies for their own research, (ii) to promote collaborative and peer-learning activities nationwide,
including those across BTRRs and partnering institutions to further advance biological/biomedical knowledge
and drive computing technology, and (iii) to contribute to the training and mentoring of future generations of
computational biologists by exposing them at early stages of their careers to computational advances in
molecular-to-cellular modeling and simulations, and helping them acquire the technical skills required to use,
and potentially advance, cutting-edge software and algorithms that will accelerate biological and biomedical
research. To achieve these goals, we will provide level-appropriate training opportunities to experts and non-
experts at all stages of their scientific careers and from different disciplines. Our Workshops series, on site
and/or off-site, will provide 3-5 day, hands-on training programs for the use and adoption of the major
technologies developed in each of our TR&Ds. Visitor and exchange programs will host external scientists and
exchange students/researchers from other BTRRs for more intensive (weeks- to months-long) research
collaborations. In turn, the exchange program will also provide internship-like opportunities for MMBioS
trainees to work with scientists at other Resources, enabling deeper connections and additional opportunities
for collaborations. Lastly, our summer research internship program will partner with an existing and funded
Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program and provide training experiences for at least two
students, who will work with MMBioS investigators on a project involving MMBioS-developed technologies.
These opportunities, which will be augmented by the online course in biological modeling being developed by
the Dissemination Core, will provide unique, first-hand training to a broad audience of scientists and further the
use and adoption of MMBioS technologies.
