Education

教育办公室提供研讨会，计划和个性化的机会，平均人口320名学员，包括博士后，访问和研究员;临床研究员和医学生;研究生;和博士后和技术研究员，以及暑期学员。 这些活动通常包括：公开演讲研讨会，工作面试，写作和编辑服务，granitary研讨会，职业介绍和咨询，通过NICHD成为一个有效的科学家课程的postbacs和技能研讨会和培训计划与马里兰州大学的教学机会，和管理计划。 每年春天为研究员和研究生举办一次年度务虚会，最多可容纳100人，以解决科学发展和职业问题，其中包括研究员的演讲和每位与会者的海报演讲。 该计划是由一个同学指导委员会开发和运行。 该办公室过去一年的成就包括：伊薇特·皮特曼博士继续在教育办公室担任副主任。 作为前NICHD博士后研究员，她开发了我们的TmT（三分钟谈话）比赛，现在是第二年，今年与NIDCR和NHGRI一起进行。 凯瑟琳塔博尔博士在哈罗德伯吉斯博士的实验室获得了第一名的奖项。 该办公室为研究员开发了一个在线年度进展审查，将于2015年9月启动，该审查将跟踪科学和职业发展与进展;将为平衡计分卡现场访问提供年度进展审查，新系统具有生成报告的能力。 从2008年至今的NICHD校友数据库已经更新，这导致了我们的校友群体的扩大。 2015年6月，校内研究部将其第八届年度导师奖授予卡尔·普法伊费尔博士，调查员;和Chad McCormick，Ph.D.，家伙. 2016年的比赛共获得28个FARE奖项。 研究员校内赠款补充（FIGS）继续承认和鼓励研究员之间的赠款申请，研究员招聘奖励奖（弗里亚）继续支持从传统上在科学领域代表性不足的人群中招聘博士后的研究人员。 NICHD学者计划，在其第五年，包括一个MD/博士生进行他的论文研究在研究所，一个持续的学士后研究员，和三个新的postbacs。学者计划专注于“培养人才”，并支持学员的学术和职业发展。 NICHD连接每月通讯在2015年8月出版了第63期，并达到校内部门和我们的校友的所有成员。

The Office of Education delivers workshops, programs, and individualized opportunities to a population averaging 320 trainees, including postdoctoral, visiting, and research fellows; clinical fellows and medical students; graduate students; and postbaccalaureate and technical fellows, as well as summer trainees. The activities include, typically: public speaking workshops, job interviewing, writing and editorial services, grantsmanship workshops, career presentations and counseling, teaching opportunities through the NICHD Becoming an Effective Scientist course for postbacs and skills workshops and a training program with the University of Maryland, and management programs. An annual retreat for fellows and graduate students is held for up to 100 people each spring to address scientific developments and careers, which includes fellow presentations and a poster presentation by each attendee. The program is developed and run by a fellow-student steering committee. Among the office's accomplishments from the past year: Dr. Yvette Pittman continues in the Office of Education as Associate Director. A former NICHD postdoctoral fellow, she developed our TmT (Three-minute Talks) competition, now in its second year and conducted this year together with NIDCR and NHGRI. Dr. Kathryn Tabor in the laboratory of Dr. Harold Burgess received the first place award. The office has developed an online Annual Progress Review for fellows, to be launched in September 2015, which will track scientific and career development and progress; APRs will be provided for BSC site visits, and the new system has report-generating capability. The database of NICHD alumni from 2008 to the present has been updated, which has led to an expansion of our Linked In alumni group. In June 2015, the Division of Intramural Research gave its eighth Mentor of the Year awards to Karl Pfeifer, Ph.D., investigator; and Chad McCormick, Ph.D., fellow. Twenty-eight FARE awards were made for the 2016 competition. A Fellows Intramural Grants Supplement (FIGS) continues to recognize and stimulate grant applications among fellows, and the Fellows Recruitment Incentive Award (FRIA) continues to support investigators who recruit postdocs from populations traditionally underrepresented in science. The NICHD Scholars program, in its fifth year, includes one MD/PhD student conducting his thesis research in the institute, one continuing postbaccalaureate fellow, and three new postbacs. The Scholars program focuses on "developing talent" and supporting trainees' academic and career progression. The NICHD Connection monthly newsletter published its 63rd issue in August 2015 and reaches all members of the intramural division and our alumni.
