The Pathways in Biological Sciences (PiBS) Training Program at UCSD is a new T32 Training Program evolved from the successful 40+ year Cell and Molecular Genetics (CMG) Training Program. PiBS will provide an enhanced practices pathway to produce leaders in diverse biology careers, including academic and industrial research, education, writing, consulting, and policy. Trainees will be a select subset of 30 UCSD Biological Sciences PhD students, conducting research in a variety of pressing problems in foundational and translational biology by the use of mechanistic molecular approaches. Students will be invited to become PiBS Trainees at the end of their first year, soon after choosing a thesis advisor, for a two year PiBS-supported period, followed by maintained Trainee status for the remainder of their PhD. PiBS will instill and amplify six core competencies needed for success, including critical thinking, knowledge acquisition, experimental ability with emphasis on rigor, reproducibility and quantitation, effective communication, leadership tools including team building, networking, and collaborative problem solving, and career development. To this end, the PiBS program will conduct a variety of Trainee-specific activities: yearly one-on-one meetings with the PiBS Director, BGGN290 - a class for in-depth analysis and critique of invited seminar speakers, a twice-yearly public colloquium of Trainee research presentations, a yearly Trainee-organized Symposium of invited leaders from a chosen field, a scientific writing workshop, a path-to-career workshop, career networking guidance, an inclusive mentoring workshop, a white-board “jam” to enhance clear low tech exposition of science, and “One Book-One Program”- an annual group discussion of a mutually chosen book. The PiBS Directors actively participate in selection and stewardship of Training faculty who can serve as PhD mentors for PiBS Trainees. This will include training of PiBS faculty in dedicated and inclusive mentoring and ongoing assessment of their effectiveness. The PiBS mission includes oversight mechanisms to evaluate the success and effectiveness of the PiBS program with particular emphasis on evaluating our PiBS training faculty, to ensure our vision of involvement, inclusion, best-practices mentoring, rigorous scientific approaches, and effective impartation of the core competencies required for Trainee success. PiBS Trainee outcomes will be clearly documented, continuously curated, and fully available to Trainees and the Division of Biological Sciences through web- based resources to best self-assess our progress and to inform future Trainees about the most impactful choices for their individual career goals. The PiBS mission is deeply dedicated to maximizing the diversity of the Trainee pool to provide opportunities to the broadest pool of talented students; we strive to create high cultural diversity in the Trainee experience, both to immediately foster distinct and creative viewpoints in the graduate environment and to eventually help create a fully diverse mentoring and participant base as the leadership of biological science and biology-oriented careers in the future.

UCSD的生物科学途径（PiBS）培训计划是一个新的T32培训计划 从成功的40+年细胞和分子遗传学（CMG）培训计划演变而来。PiBS将提供 一个增强的实践途径，以产生领导者在不同的生物学职业，包括学术和 工业研究、教育、写作、咨询和政策。学员将是30个UCSD的精选子集 生物科学博士生，在各种紧迫的问题进行研究，在基础和 翻译生物学通过使用机械分子方法。学生将被邀请成为PiBS 学员在第一年结束时，在选择论文导师后不久，参加为期两年的PiBS支持的课程 期间，其次是保持实习生的地位，其余的博士学位。PiBS将灌输和放大六个 成功所需的核心能力，包括批判性思维、知识获取、实验能力 强调严谨性、可重复性和定量性、有效沟通、领导力工具，包括 团队建设，网络，协作解决问题，以及职业发展。为此，PiBS 该计划将进行各种培训人员特定的活动：每年一次与PiBS主任一对一的会议， BGGN 290-一个深入分析和邀请研讨会发言人的批评类，一年两次的公开 培训生研究报告座谈会，这是一个由培训生组织的年度研讨会，邀请来自 选择的领域，科学写作研讨会，职业道路研讨会，职业网络指导， 包容性的指导讲习班，白板“果酱”，以加强明确的低技术科学博览会，和“一个 “一本书计划”-每年一次的小组讨论，共同选择一本书。PiBS董事会积极 参与挑选和管理培训教师，他们可以担任PiBS学员的博士导师。 这将包括培训PiBS教师进行专门和包容性的指导，并对其进行持续评估。 有效性PiBS的使命包括监督机制，以评估 PiBS计划，特别强调评估我们的PiBS培训教师，以确保我们的愿景， 参与、包容、最佳做法指导、严格的科学方法和有效的 培训生成功所需的核心能力。PiBS培训生的结果将被明确记录， 不断策划，并充分提供给学员和生物科学司通过网络- 基于资源，以最好地自我评估我们的进展，并告知未来的学员最有影响力的 选择自己的职业目标。PiBS的使命是致力于最大限度地提高 培训人才库为最广泛的有才华的学生提供机会;我们努力创造高质量的 培训生体验中的文化多样性，无论是立即培养独特的和创造性的观点， 研究生环境，并最终帮助创建一个完全多样化的指导和参与者基地， 生物科学和生物学为导向的职业生涯在未来的领导。
