Predoctoral Training Program in Genetics

遗传学概要中的培训计划 遗传学是导致人类疾病、健康和寿命的关键因素。基因研究引领了 在预防、诊断和治疗各种疾病方面的巨大改进。长的- 拟议计划的任期目标是加强国家科学队伍，以改善人权 健康。我们设计了遗传学培训计划(TPG)，以提供现代化的统一培训 耶鲁大学三个校区和三个主要系博士前学生的遗传学研究 大学。它旨在通过以下途径为博士生在科学和与科学相关的职业中担任领导职位做好准备 五个主要目标：一)提供严格的实验设计、新技术和量化方面的培训 方法；二)在遗传学家之间建立知识共同体，解决各种问题和 跨几个部门；iii)通过提供展示研究的机会来发展沟通技能 并通过对发言提供反馈；四)促进促进多样性、公平、 和包容性；v)发展不仅适用于遗传学研究，而且适用于 各种其他科学和与科学相关的职业。我们将倡导这些创新被 其他培训计划，因此对更大的大学社区产生影响。学生通过 结合课程作业、实验室研究和各种精心设计的具体课程 活动。TPG将每月举办研究进展讲座、年度务虚会、年度研讨会、 R统计和其他主题的工作坊，以及与本科生讨论遗传学主题的机会 在一门面向非理科专业的课程中。将提供多个职业发展机会。TPG 与耶鲁大学的其他培训项目不同的是，培训师的兴趣非常丰富。 教师培训人员因共同关注遗传学而团结在一起，但在不同的领域解决广泛的问题 不同物种的水平，提供特别丰富的训练。初级培训师由高级培训师指导， 所有人都参加了一门常见的循证辅导课程。学员和培训师是通过一套 标准，包括他们为项目带来的背景和经验的多样性，以及他们的 致力于指导和支持学生教育。该计划将由两名主任监督 具有互补的专业知识、内部执行委员会和外部咨询委员会。 TPG的成功与否将根据一项由 在项目评估方面具有专业知识。该计划将迎来每人七名新学生 每年提供14个名额，并在2年级和3年级提供津贴和学费支持，总人数为~ 42名学生接受了六年的培训。

Training Program in Genetics Summary Genetics is a critical factor underlying human disease, wellness, and lifespan. Genetic research has led to enormous improvements in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of a great range of diseases. The long- term objective of the proposed program is to strengthen the national scientific workforce to improve human health. We have designed the Training Program in Genetics (TPG) to provide unified training in modern genetics research for predoctoral students across three campuses and from three main departments at Yale University. It aims to prepare PhD students for leadership positions in science and science-related careers via five key objectives: i) to provide training in rigorous experimental design, new technology and quantitative methods; ii) to build intellectual community among geneticists addressing a wide variety of problems and across several departments; iii) to develop communication skills by providing opportunities to present research and by providing feedback on the presentations; iv) to foster an environment that promotes diversity, equity, and inclusion; v) to develop leadership skills that are applicable not only in genetics research but also in a variety of other science and science-related careers. We will advocate for these innovations to be adopted by other training programs and therefore impact the larger university community. Students develop skills via a combination of coursework, laboratory research, and a rich variety of carefully designed program-specific activities. The TPG will hold monthly Research in Progress talks, an annual Retreat, an annual Symposium, workshops on R statistics and other topics, and opportunities to discuss topics in genetics with undergraduates in a course for non-science majors. A number of career development opportunities will be provided. The TPG is distinguished from other training programs at Yale by the remarkable wealth of interests of its trainers. Faculty trainers are united by a common focus on genetics but address wide-ranging problems at different levels in diverse species, providing exceptionally rich training. Junior trainers are mentored by senior trainers, and all take a common evidence-based course on mentoring. Students and trainers are selected via a set of criteria, including the diversity of background and experience that they bring to the program, as well as their commitment to mentoring and supporting student education. The program will be overseen by two Directors with complementary expertise, an internal Executive Committee, and an external Advisory Committee. Success of the TPG will be evaluated regularly according to a detailed plan designed and executed by a professional with expertise in program assessment. The program would welcome seven new students each year and provide stipend and tuition support during years 2 and 3 for 14 slots total per year, with a cohort of ~ 42 students across ~ six years of training.
