Chemistry-Biology Interface Training Program at the University of Florida

佛罗里达大学化学-生物接口(UF-CBI)培训计划是 主要是药物化学系和卫生部之间的伙伴关系 并利用现有的招聘和学术培训框架 由这些研究生项目提供，以及最近初级和高级研究的扩展 在校园内培训教师。该计划的总体目标是开发和扩大 具有追求成功职业生涯技能的多样化和有才华的专业研究人员队伍 在生物医学工作队伍中。UF-CBI培训计划提出了一系列高影响力的培训 旨在加强现有院系博士前培训活动的经验，以及 广泛影响参与计划的所有学生。主要内容包括：核心课程 在灵活和可定制的课程范围内；每月举办研究进展研讨会； 参加每年一次的UF药物发现研讨会，以及每两年一次的佛罗里达州杂环和 合成化学会议，提供反馈论坛的年度方向；培训 严谨和可重复性，科学交流技能培训，以及持续的承诺 到包容性、多样性和科学外展。成功的基准将是越来越多的 不同的UF-CBI实习生和教职员工培训师队列，所有人的保留率最高 学员，高水平的研究生产力，并成功过渡到生物医学研究 充分利用他们的博士培训的职业。对这些基准的关键评估将 通过实施量化评估计划来实现这一目标。

The University of Florida Chemistry-Biology Interface (UF-CBI) Training Program is primarily a partnership between the Department of Medicinal Chemistry and the Department of Chemistry and takes advantage of the existing recruiting and academic training frameworks provided by these graduate programs, and the recent expansion in junior and senior research training faculty across campus. The overarching goal of the program is to develop and expand a diverse and talented pool of professional researchers with the skills to pursue successful careers in the biomedical workforce. The UF-CBI Training Plan proposes a series of high impact training experiences designed to enhance existing departmental predoctoral training activities, and broadly impact all students in the participating programs. Key elements include: core courses within a flexible and customizable curriculum; monthly research in progress seminars; participation in the yearly UF Drug Discovery Symposium, and biennial Florida Heterocyclic and Synthetic Chemistry Conference, a yearly orientation providing a forum for feedback; training in rigor and reproducibility, training in scientific communication skills, and a continuing commitment to inclusion, diversity, and science outreach. Benchmarks for success will be an increasingly diverse cohort of UF-CBI Trainees and Faculty Trainers, the highest level of retention for all trainees, a high level of research productivity, and successful transition into biomedical research careers that fully capitalize on their doctoral training. Critical evaluation of these benchmarks will be achieved through the implementation of a quantitative assessment plan.
