Education/Training and Outreach Programs

Karen Herbst博士将指导UCSD TREC培训计划，旨在（1）招募积极进取，有前途的研究生和博士后研究员进行能量学和癌症的综合性，基于研究的培训;（2）将每个受训者与UCSD的初级导师和UCSD或另一个TREC中心的二级导师相匹配，以促进跨学科知识和技能的发展;以及（3）为TREC学员和其他初级研究人员提供各种培训机会，包括指导研究、讲座、研讨会和期刊俱乐部。将为2名博士后和2名博士生提供助学金。额外的受训人员将被接受进入该计划的无资金名额，并将获得指导，培训和机会，参与与其他TREC网站的合作努力。学员将受益于UCSD TREC中心优秀的教师导师以及其他TREC中心的调查员。我们将与每位学员合作，制定个性化的培训计划，明确针对跨学科科学家必不可少的核心知识，技能，沟通和领导能力。除了现有的UCSD研讨会，讲座和讨论组是相关的TREC的目标，培训计划将通过赞助一个月刊俱乐部和一个季度的“与领导人共进午餐”系列提高学习机会。我们将每年完成学员进度报告，以确保每个学员都取得令人满意的进展，并获得适当的物理和人力资源，他或她的研究目标。

The UCSD TREC Training Program will be directed by Dr. Karen Herbst and aims to (1) recruit motivated, promising graduate and postdoctoral fellows to integrative, research-based training in energetics and cancer; (2) match each trainee to a primary mentor at UCSD and a secondary mentor at UCSD or another TREC Center to facilitate development of transdisciplinary knowledge and skills; and (3) provide TREC trainees and other Junior investigators with a variety of training opportunities including mentored research, lectures, seminars, and a Journal club. Stipend support will be provided for 2 post-doctoral trainees and 2 doctoral trainees. Additional trainees will be accepted into unfunded slots in the Program and will receive mentorship, training, and opportunities to participate in collaborative efforts with other TREC sites. Trainees will benefit from the outstanding array of faculty mentors in the UCSD TREC Center as well as investigators af other TREC Centers. We will work with each trainee to develop an individualized training program that explicitly targets the core knowledge, skills, communication, and leadership competencies that are essential for transdisciplinary scientists. In addition to existing UCSD seminars, lectures, and discussion groups that are relevant to the aims of TREC, the Training Program will enhance learning opportunities by sponsoring a monthly journal club and a quarterly "Lunch with a Leader" series. We will complete trainee progress reports annually to ensure that each trainee is progressing satisfactorily and has access to the appropriate physical and personnel resources for his or her research goals.
