Pathways in Biological Sciences Training Program

加州大学圣迭戈分校的生物科学途径(PIBS)培训计划是一个新的T32培训计划 从成功的40多年细胞和分子遗传学(CMG)培训计划发展而来。PIB将提供 增强实践途径，培养不同生物学职业的领导者，包括学术和 工业研究、教育、写作、咨询和政策。学员将从30名加州大学圣迭戈分校中挑选出来 生物科学博士生，从事各种基础性和紧迫性问题的研究 翻译生物学通过使用机械论的分子方法。学生将被邀请成为PIB 学员在第一年结束时，选择了一位论文导师，为期两年，由PIBS资助 期间，然后在博士学位剩余时间内保持实习生身份。PIB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、可再现性和量化，有效沟通，领导工具包括 团队建设、建立网络、协作解决问题和职业发展。为此，Pibs夫妇 计划将开展各种针对实习生的活动：每年与PIBS主任进行一对一会议， BGGN290-一个对受邀研讨会演讲者进行深入分析和批评的课程，一年两次的公众 实习生研究报告座谈会，年度实习生组织的特邀领导人研讨会 选定的领域、科学写作研讨会、职业之路研讨会、职业网络指导、以及 包罗万象的辅导工作坊，加强低技术科学的清晰阐述的白板“果酱”，和“一 一本书“--一本共同选择的书的年度小组讨论。PIB董事积极参与 参与培训教师的选拔和管理，这些教师可以作为PIBS学员的博士导师。 这将包括对PIBS教职员工进行专门和包容性指导的培训，以及对其 有效性。PIBS的任务包括评估以下项目的成功和有效性的监督机制 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、最佳实践指导、严格的科学方法以及有效地传授 学员成功所需的核心能力。PIBS实习生的结果将被清楚地记录下来， 持续策划，并通过网络向学员和生物科学司全面提供- 以资源为基础，对我们的进展进行最佳自我评估，并向未来的学员通报最具影响力的 为他们个人的职业目标做出选择。PIBS使命致力于最大限度地增加 实习生人才库为最广泛的人才库提供机会；我们努力创造高 学员体验中的文化多样性，既能立即培养不同的和创造性的观点， 毕业生环境，并最终帮助创建一个完全多样化的指导和参与者基础，作为 领导未来的生物科学和生物导向的职业生涯。

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.
