DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Training programs in biomedical science were once directed towards careers in academic research. Now, innovative approaches to prepare for the current and ever-changing biomedical workforce must be considered. BU's BEST seeks to implement bold new initiatives to "re-engineer the training pipeline". Using analysis of the job market as the driver of professional development programming, BU's BEST will enable trainees to fulfill the needs, not only of the current market, but also the future biomedical workforce. The strengths of the new training paradigm are its strategic institutional partnerships and those within private and non-profit sectors as well as the framework to catalyze institutional change. The aims are: Aim I: To "re-engineer" biomedical training whereby the job market informs curriculum development. Groundbreaking tools and resources will be implemented to analyze workforce data with input from key stakeholders to guide and evolve curriculum design. State-of-the-art software will identify biomedical workforce jobs, job trends and skills required for various career pathways. Our evidence-based approach will also be informed by strategic insights from BU's BEST team of consultants that includes an internal advisory committee comprised of BU faculty and staff, an external advisory committee of leaders in non-academic biomedically-related professions and BU alumni. Evaluation outcomes will be monitored and assessed annually and used to direct development of specific training resources and approaches. Aim 2: To develop a curriculum to prepare trainees for future careers. A framework will be implemented that provides doctoral students and postdoctoral researchers the opportunity to consider, explore and gain experience in achieving their individual goals. Importantly, exciting, new software will be developed in collaboration with our partners to enable trainees to identify and work toward their goals. With strong advising/mentoring, trainees will be exposed to a curriculum of foundational/professional skills and career options via coursework, workshops, career panels as well as hybrid online modules. Graduate students and postdoctoral researchers will be able to enhance their interests through a wealth of options via existing and planned coursework, and participation in shadowing experiences with a network of faculty, administrators, alumni and industry partners. Finally, trainees will have opportunities to further develop their interests by participation in internships, teaching and/or formal academic training (certificate or MA/MS degrees). Aim 3: To advance a university culture that engages faculty in a new training paradigm. Developing a curriculum for trainees is of limited value if the institutiona culture is not supportive i.e. if the faculty does not support trainees who want to explore options An essential part of our plan is to use strategies that specifically target barriers to attaining ad sustaining success. Institutional strategies to support a culture shift and recognition of effectiv mentoring are presented. The BU's BEST plan is transformational and impactful in that program elements lend themselves to easy adaptation by other institutions.

描述（由申请人提供）：生物医学科学的培训项目曾经针对学术研究职业。现在，必须考虑创新方法，为当前和不断变化的生物医学劳动力做好准备。BU的BEST寻求实施大胆的新举措，以“重新设计培训管道”。利用就业市场的分析作为专业发展规划的驱动力，BU的BEST将使学员能够满足需求，不仅是当前的市场，而且是未来的生物医学劳动力。的 新的培训模式的优势在于其战略性机构伙伴关系以及私营和非营利部门内的伙伴关系，以及促进机构变革的框架。目标一：“重新设计”生物医学培训，使就业市场为课程编制提供信息。将实施开创性的工具和资源，以分析劳动力数据，并从关键利益相关者那里获得投入，以指导和发展课程设计。最先进的软件将确定生物医学劳动力的工作，就业趋势和各种职业道路所需的技能。我们的循证方法也将通过BU的最佳顾问团队的战略见解，其中包括由BU教职员工组成的内部咨询委员会，非学术生物医学相关专业和BU校友领导者的外部咨询委员会。评价结果将每年进行监测和评估，并用于指导具体培训资源和方法的开发。目标2：编制课程，为受训人员今后的职业生涯做好准备。将实施一个框架，为博士生和博士后研究人员提供考虑，探索和获得实现个人目标的经验的机会。重要的是，令人兴奋的新软件将与我们的合作伙伴合作开发，使学员能够确定并朝着他们的目标努力。在强有力的建议/指导下，学员将通过课程作业、研讨会、职业小组以及混合在线模块接触基础/专业技能和职业选择的课程。研究生和博士后研究人员将能够通过现有和计划中的课程提供丰富的选择，并与教师，管理人员，校友和行业合作伙伴网络一起参与阴影体验，从而提高他们的兴趣。最后，学员将有机会通过参加实习，教学和/或正式的学术培训（证书或MA/MS学位）进一步发展自己的兴趣。目标3：推进大学文化，使教师参与新的培训模式。如果机构文化不支持，即如果教师不支持想要探索选择的学员，则为学员开发课程的价值有限。我们计划的一个重要部分是使用专门针对实现广告持续成功的障碍的策略。机构战略，以支持文化的转变和有效的指导认可。BU的BEST计划具有变革性和影响力，因为该计划的内容易于其他机构进行调整。
