Frontiers of University Training to Unlock the Research Enterprise (FUTURE)

描述（由申请人提供）：从最近向NIH主任提交的生物医学劳动力工作组报告中可以看出，美国面临着一个巨大的挑战，即为目前在全国从事生物医学研究的许多有才华的受训人员恢复未来的职业机会。为了满足这一国家需求，加州大学戴维斯分校（UC Davis）提出了一项创新的新计划，即大学培训前沿，以支持研究企业（未来）。未来将建立在加州大学戴维斯分校在职业发展培训方面的经验和成功的基础上，为生物医学科学研究生和博士后研究人员扩大专业成长机会。在制定拟议的计划，我们正在建立我们广泛的跨学科研究培训计划，广泛订阅的创业学院，推广到行业的历史，以及由研究生学习办公室支持的跨学科研究生团体网络，该办公室一直是研究生和博士后专业发展的领导者。要开发的新活动包括强大的实习计划（内部和外部），扩大与外部组织（私人和公共）的合作伙伴关系，以及旨在丰富和补充我们已经创新的方法的新课程，同时不减损或延长现有的培训时间。FUTURE旨在丰富现有的培训经验，提高不太常见的技能和能力，包括跨学科的沟通，创业思维和知识转移。通过与机构领导人，行业和其他组织的合作伙伴关系，该计划将使学员能够培养在生物医学事业中蓬勃发展所需的关键专业技能。FUTURE将提供广泛的教学和体验活动，根据个人学者的职业兴趣定制。我们的使命是使研究生和博士后能够开发自己的教育组合（即，MyFUTURE），并成为自己成功职业道路的建筑师。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): As evident from the recent Biomedical Workforce Working Group Report to the NIH Director, the United States faces a substantial challenge in revitalizing future career opportunities for the many talented trainees currently engaged in biomedical research throughout the nation. In response to this national need, the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) proposes an innovative new program, Frontiers of University Training to Unlock the Research Enterprise (FUTURE). FUTURE will build on UC Davis' experience and successes in career development training to expand professional growth opportunities for biomedical science graduate students and postdoctoral researchers. In developing the proposed program, we are building on our extensive transdisciplinary research training programs, a widely subscribed entrepreneurship academy, a history of outreach to industry, and a network of interdisciplinary graduate groups supported by a graduate studies office that has been a leader in graduate student and postdoctoral professional development. Novel activities to be developed include robust internship programs (internal and external), expanded partnerships with outside organizations (private and public), and new curricular offerings intended to enrich and complement our already innovative approaches, while not detracting from or prolonging the existing training time. FUTURE is designed to enrich current training experiences and enhance less commonly nurtured skills and competencies, including communication across disciplines, entrepreneurial thinking, and knowledge transfer. Through partnerships with institutional leaders, industry and other organizations, the program will enable trainees to cultivate critical specialized skill sets needed to thrive in biomedical careers. FUTURE will offer a broad menu of didactic and experiential activities, customized according to individual scholars' career interests. Our mission is to enable and empower graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to develop their own educational portfolios (i.e., MyFUTURE) and be the architects of their own successful career paths.
