描述(由申请人提供)：美国微生物学会(ASM)申请10,000美元的第二个暑期研究所，为微生物学的职业生涯做准备，这是一个为期六天的项目，有24名微生物科学研究生和博士后研究员参加。该研究所将于2002年8月3日至9日在麦迪逊的威斯康星大学举行。为期六天的学院的总体目标是为参与者提供四个主要领域的强化培训：职业发展、赠款准备、沟通和道德操守。在培训结束时，学员将能够： 1.准备一份组织良好的研究提案，清楚地阐明项目的具体目标和解决问题的计划。 2.向科学界清楚而简洁地口头介绍他们的研究项目。 3.审查接受培训的微生物学家可获得的若干职业机会和途径。 4.描述科学界遇到的有关科学研究的伦理影响。 5.认识并有效满足本科微生物学专业学生在各种不同设置下的教育需求。 ASM教育委员会的研究生教育委员会赞助该研究所。第一次研究所于2001年8月在威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校举行。该学院是第一个也是唯一一个此类项目，为学生提供在沟通和教学、伦理、拨款准备和审查方面的实践培训。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The American Society for Microbiology (ASM) requests $10,000 for the 2nd Summer Institute in Preparation for Careers in Microbiology, a six-day program for 24 graduate students and post-doctoral fellows in the microbiological sciences. The Institute will be held August 3-9, 2002 at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. The overall objective of the six-day Institute is to provide participants with intensive training in four major areas: career development, grant preparation, communications, and ethics. At the conclusion of the Institute, participants will be able to: 1. Prepare a well-organized research proposal that clearly articulates the specific aims of the project and the plan to address the problem. 2. Deliver a clear and concise oral presentation of their research project to the scientific community. 3. Examine a number of career opportunities and pathways available to microbiologists-in-training. 4. Describe the ethical implications regarding scientific research as encountered by the scientific community. 5. Recognize and effectively meet the educational needs of undergraduate microbiology students in a variety of different settings. The ASM Education Board's Committee on Graduate Education sponsors the Institute. The first Institute was held in August 2001 at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. The Institute is the first and only program of its kind providing students with hands-on, practical training in communications and teaching, ethics, grant preparation and review.
