Project Summary: The UCSF Biomedical Sciences (BMS) training program provides interdisciplinary training to equip diverse students with the scientific and intellectual skills needed to rigorously address important problems in the biomedical sciences with increasing self-efficacy and self-direction, and the adaptability and professional skills needed to continue making contributions in their subsequent careers in the biomedical science workforce. The BMS program’s goals are closely aligned with those of the NIGMS Molecular Medicine program area. The program is unique among UCSF training programs, and addresses a national need for rigorous training of scientists who are motivated and able to apply basic and translational research approaches to dissect the mechanistic underpinnings of human disease, from molecules and single cells to tissue and organ systems. Students emerge from the training program with reinforced scientific identity, a record of scientific achievement, and opportunities to productively contribute to the biomedical scientific enterprise that accord with their own interests and values. We pursue these goals through a combination of coursework, mentored research, and other structured training activities. The BMS curriculum provides a fundamental foundation in cellular and molecular biology, genetics and tissue and organ biology, and integrates understanding of human disease states throughout. It provides opportunities for deep exposure to focus areas through small group discussion- style minicourses, and includes a translational science course that incorporates discussion with clinicians and patients. Workshops teach students to rigorously apply emerging technologies, biostatistics, and computational approaches in research. Skills development in evaluating, proposing and communicating research is also threaded through the first year curriculum and reinforced by laboratory training and mentorship. Career exploration and professional development is emphasized from the beginning of the student experience and supported by robust program and institutional resources, optional internships, and professional mentorship from program faculty, all of whom are required to participate in a Thesis Mentor Development training program. Selection for appointment to the training program is conducted through an application process at the beginning of students’ second year of training. Students may also apply for new or continued support at the beginning of their third year in the program. We anticipate supporting 12 trainees annually from the large pool of eligible students in the Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program, which aims to enroll 25 new entrants each year. Intended program outcomes include degree completion in 5-6 years, generation and communication of a body of rigorous and impactful biomedical research, and successful transition to research-related careers in the biomedical workforce. We endeavor to provide an inclusive learning and mentoring atmosphere so that we can uphold the same high standards for program outcomes for all students, including those from underrepresented backgrounds, students with disability, and students from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds.

项目概要： 加州大学旧金山分校生物医学科学（BMS）培训计划提供跨学科培训，以装备多样化的 学生的科学和智力技能需要严格解决的重要问题， 生物医学科学与提高自我效能和自我方向，以及适应性和专业技能 需要继续在他们随后的职业生涯中在生物医学科学劳动力作出贡献。的 BMS计划的目标与NIGMS分子医学计划领域的目标密切相关。的 该计划是UCSF培训计划中独一无二的，并解决了国家对严格培训的需求， 科学家谁是积极的，并能够应用基础和转化研究的方法来剖析 人类疾病的机制基础，从分子和单细胞到组织和器官系统。 学生从培训计划中脱颖而出，具有强化的科学身份，科学成就的记录， 并有机会为生物医学科学事业做出富有成效的贡献，这符合他们自己的雅阁。 利益和价值观。我们通过课程作业，指导研究， 其他有组织的培训活动。BMS课程提供了一个基本的基础， 分子生物学、遗传学和组织器官生物学，并整合了对人类疾病的理解 各地州。它提供了通过小组讨论深入了解重点领域的机会- 风格的迷你课程，包括一个转化科学课程，结合了与临床医生的讨论， 患者研讨会教导学生严格应用新兴技术，生物统计学和计算 研究方法。在评估，提出和交流研究方面的技能发展也是 贯穿第一年的课程，并通过实验室培训和指导加强。职业生涯 探索和专业发展是从学生的经验开始强调， 由强大的计划和机构资源，可选的实习和专业导师支持 从计划教师，所有这些人都必须参加论文导师发展培训计划。 培训计划的甄选工作在开始时通过申请程序进行 学生第二年的训练。学生也可以申请新的或继续支持在开始 在项目的第三年。我们预计每年从大量符合条件的学员中支持12名学员。 生物医学科学研究生课程的学生，该课程的目标是每年招收25名新生。 预期的计划成果包括在5-6年内完成学位，身体的产生和交流 严格和有影响力的生物医学研究，并成功过渡到研究相关的职业生涯， 生物医学劳动力。我们奋进提供一个包容性的学习和指导氛围，使我们能够 坚持对所有学生的计划成果同样高的标准，包括那些来自代表性不足的学生 残疾学生和来自社会经济弱势背景的学生。
