Graduate Training at the Biology-Chemistry Interface

项目摘要 堪萨斯大学生物-化学接口的研究生培训计划旨在 通过以下方式创新研究生培训：(1)提供跨生物-化学接口的培训 强调学生和导师的严谨性、可重复性和透明度，(2)增强 通过广泛的个人实施为KU研究生的职业发展 发展计划，以及(3)继续努力创造一个包容的环境，发展多样化的 科学家的群体。这一新计划建立在先前计划的基础上，并获得了26年的支持 国家普通医学科学研究所。这个非常成功的项目已经建立了一个 化学生物学研究生证书课程向更广泛的人开放 研究生群体，包括国际学生。通过这一新的应用程序，我们建议 通过新的课程和导师/学员提高可重复性和职业发展 经历。特别是，我们重新设计了现有的课程作业，其中包括 生物医学科学，并增加了一门新的实验设计课程。我们还实现了一个 导师培训计划，开启关于科学的严谨性、可重复性和透明度的对话 并指导职业发展，同时促进包容性环境。一批申请者将是 由化学系生物-化学界面的导师提名， 药物化学、分子生物科学和药物化学。我们计划10名实习生， 任期2年。拟议的培训方案的总体目标是产生一个 不同群体的科学家，他们在严格和透明的科学方法论方面接受过良好的培训， 实验设计和数据解释，并发展了所需的专业技能 在广泛的研究密集型或与研究相关的职业中取得成功。

Project Summary The Graduate Training Program at the Biology-Chemistry Interface at the University of Kansas aims to innovate graduate training by (1) providing training across the biology-chemistry interface that emphasizes rigor, reproducibility, and transparency for both students and mentors, (2) augmenting career development for graduate students at KU through a broad implementation of Individual Development Plans, and (3) continuing to strive for an inclusive environment that develops a diverse population of scientists. This new program builds on a previous program with 26 years of support from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences. This highly successful program has instituted a Graduate Certificate Program in Chemical Biology to make its curriculum available to the broader graduate student population, including international students. With this new application, we propose to enhance reproducibility and career development through new coursework and mentor/mentee experiences. In particular, we have redesigned existing coursework with a class in Careers in the Biomedical Sciences and added a new course in Experimental Design. We have also implemented a Mentor Training program to open a dialogue about rigor, reproducibility, and transparency in science and mentee career development, while promoting an inclusive climate. A pool of applicants will be nominated by mentors across the biology-chemistry interface in the Departments of Chemistry, Medicinal Chemistry, Molecular Biosciences, and Pharmaceutical Chemistry. We project 10 trainees, to be appointed for 2 years. The overarching goal of the proposed training program is to produce a diverse population of scientists who are well-trained in rigorous and transparent scientific methodology, experimental design, and data interpretation, and who have developed the professional skills required to find success in a broad range of research-intensive or research-related careers.
