Career Training in Reproductive Biology

摘要 生殖健康是全面健康的窗口，为高收入者提供了巨大的机会和挑战。 高质量的跨学科研究和职业。生殖生物学职业培训（CTRB） 计划是培养特殊的博士前学生在生殖科学的各种科学事业。 资金要求每年培养五名博士前学生，包括两个主要部分的双重计划。 首先，为研究生涯做准备，学生将从事严谨的，基于假设的科学实验室 从事生殖生物学研究其次，为了让学生为不同的职业道路做好准备，他们将完成一个 密歇根大学赞助的证书课程，以磨练教学，翻译研究，公共 政策或企业家精神。这些证书课程是专门设计的，以配合研究生 努力培养学生在特定学科的职业生涯所需的定性和定量技能。 这个创新的计划解决了生殖生物学学员的需求，没有其他计划 密歇根大学的研究人员。13名精选的教师导师，他们是高度认可的科学家， 对博士前教育的热情和丰富的综合经验，热情地组成了CTRB 计划教师。学员来自生物医学科学领域非常强大的研究生课程， 生物医学工程和环境健康科学。具体培训活动包括正式课程 在哺乳动物生殖生理学，科学交流和负责任的研究行为， 每月指导实习生研究报告，实验室管理小组讨论，工作面试 此外，还举办了两次生殖科学年度专题讨论会和一年两次指导会议。学员的投入将 积极制定培训计划。学员和导师提交正式的竞争性申请， 审查并要求任命为CTRB计划。CTRB计划由多个机构监督。 将建立内部机制和外部顾问，以确保其对国际社会的需求作出反应， 不断发展的研究环境和不断变化的学员需求。公共卫生相关性： 生殖生物学职业培训的中心目标是提供智力和技术研究 在生殖生物学领域的培训，促进跨学科的思维，并对学员的热情， 科学与就业机会，让受训者接触各种科学职业机会， 学术与非学术的界限。

Abstract Reproductive health is the window to overall health and offers enormous opportunities and challenges for high- quality interdisciplinary research and careers. The goal of the Career Training in Reproductive Biology (CTRB) Program is to train exceptional predoctoral students for diverse scientific careers in the reproductive sciences. Funds are requested to train five predoctoral students per year in a dual program consisting two main parts. First, to prepare for a research career, students will engage in rigorous, hypothesis-based scientific laboratory work in reproductive biology. Second, to prepare students for varied career paths, they will complete a University of Michigan-sponsored Certificate program to hone skills in teaching, translational research, public policy, or entrepreneurship. These Certificate programs were specifically designed to dovetail with graduate work to prepare students with the qualitative and quantitative skills needed for careers in specific disciplines. This innovative program addresses the needs of reproductive biology trainees in a way that no other program at the University of Michigan does. Thirteen select faculty mentors, who are highly recognized scientists with a passion for and extensive combined experience in predoctoral education, enthusiastically comprise the CTRB Program faculty. Trainees are drawn from exceptionally strong graduate programs in biomedical sciences, biomedical engineering and environmental health sciences. Specific training activities include formal courses in Mammalian Reproductive Physiology, Scientific Communication and Responsible Conduct of Research, monthly mentored trainee research presentations, group discussions of laboratory management, job interview practice, two annual symposia in reproductive sciences and twice-yearly mentoring meeting. Trainee input will actively shape the training program. Trainees and mentors submit formal competitive applications that are reviewed and required for appointment to the CTRB Program. The CTRB Program is monitored by several internal mechanisms and external advisors will be established to ensure its responsiveness to demands of a continuously evolving research environment and changing trainee needs. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Central goals of the Career Training in Reproductive Biology are to provide intellectual and technical research training in the field of reproductive biology, to promote interdisciplinary thinking, and to pair trainee passion for science with employment opportunities by exposing trainees to diverse scientific career opportunities that cross boundaries between the academic and non-academic.
