描述(申请人提供)：美国微生物学会(ASM)在2003年申请24,800美元，2004年申请23,700美元，2005年申请27,800美元，为微生物学(SI)的职业生涯做准备，这是一个为期5天的项目，面向24名微生物科学研究生和博士后研究员。为期五天的学院的总体目标是为参与者提供五个主要领域的强化培训：职业发展、赠款准备、沟通、教学和道德操守。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.向科学界清楚而简明地口头介绍其研究项目， 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.认识并有效满足本科微生物学学生在各种不同环境下的教育需求，以及 5.描述科学界遇到的有关科学研究的伦理影响。 ASM教育委员会的研究生教育委员会赞助该研究所。2001年8月和2002年8月，ASM在威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校开设了两所学院。该学院是第一个也是唯一一个此类项目，为学生提供实践、拨款准备和审查、科学交流和教学、职业发展和道德方面的实践培训。 各学院的成立日期分别为：2003年8月2日至6日、2004年8月7日至11日、2005年8月6日至10日。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The American Society for Microbiology (ASM) requests $24,800 in 2003, $23,700 in 2004, and 27,800 in 2005 for three Summer Institutes in Preparation for Careers in Microbiology (SI), a five-day program for 24 graduate students and post-doctoral fellows in the microbiological sciences. The overall objective of the five-day Institute is to provide participants with intensive training in five major areas: career development; grant preparation, communications, teaching, 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. Recognize and effectively meet the educational needs of undergraduate microbiology students in a variety of different settings, and 5. Describe the ethical implications regarding scientific research as encountered by the scientific community. The ASM Education Board's Committee on Graduate Education sponsors the Institute. In August 2001 and 2002, the ASM offered two Institutes 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 grant preparation and review, scientific communications and teaching, career development, and ethics. The dates of the Institutes are: August 2-6, 2003, August 7-11, 2004, August 6-10, 2005.
