Project Summary/Abstract This application requests funding to support 8 second- and third-year graduate students in the Harvard Graduate Program in Bacteriology (GPiB). The goal of this program is to train highly skilled experimentalists firmly grounded in the logic and rigor of the scientific method and, from that base, empower them to identify and pursue the challenges and opportunities of modern bacteriology. The GPiB builds upon more than a half- century of successful research and training in bacteriology at Harvard Medical School (HMS) and the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health (HSPH). At the heart of this inter-school program is a vibrant and supportive community of microbiologists that draws its strength from decades of scientific exchange, active collaborations, training successes, and long-standing friendships. The GPiB harnesses the camaraderie, mentorship, and infrastructure of this community and combines it with coursework, program-specific activities, and dissertation research. Trainees in the 22 program faculty labs investigate topics ranging from gene regulation and cell wall biogenesis to the molecular underpinnings of drug resistance and its spread through populations. Students enter the GPiB through the Biological and Biomedical Sciences (BBS) program at HMS or the Biological Sciences in Public Health (BPH) program at HSPH and are selected for the program based on their expressed interest in the GPiB during their first year of graduate school and their choice of dissertation laboratory.!The GPiB supplements the broad and successful training of the BBS and BPH umbrella programs with focused coursework in basic bacteriology, pathogenesis, and the host response. Two required bacteriology classes use primary literature to teach students to be critical readers and thinkers while developing skills in experimental design and communication. Additional training in quantitative methods is also required. Coursework and research are combined with career mentorship focused on transferrable skills including problem-solving, communication, and collaboration. The GPiB also provides a collection of resources and events that help trainees identify future career opportunities. Importantly, the success of our trainees and the program as a whole are not taken for granted. A novel set of surveys that monitor trainees and their mentors inform regular program assessments. The Harvard microbiology community is a diverse, passionate, and tight-knit group of scientists and the GPiB ensures that the rigor and commitment of this community will support the training of generations of successful bacteriologists.!

项目摘要/摘要 该申请要求资金支持哈佛大学的8名第二年和三年级的研究生 细菌学研究生课程（GPIB）。该计划的目标是培训高技能的实验者 牢固地基于科学方法的逻辑和严格，从该基础上，使他们能够识别 并追求现代细菌学的挑战和机遇。 GPIB建立在超过一半的基础上 哈佛医学院（HMS）和哈佛大学成功研究和培训的世纪 TH Chan公共卫生学院（HSPH）。这个学历课程的核心是一个充满活力和支持的核心 微生物学家的社区，从数十年的科学交流，积极合作中汲取了力量， 培训成功和长期的友谊。 GPIB利用友情，指导和 这个社区的基础设施，并将其与课程工作，特定计划的活动和论文结合起来 研究。 22个计划教师实验室的学员研究了基因调节和细胞壁的主题 生物发生对耐药性的分子基础及其通过种群的扩散。学生 通过HMS或生物学的生物学和生物医学科学（BBS）输入GPIB HSPH的公共卫生科学（BPH）计划，并根据其表达方式选择该计划 对GPIB的研究生院的第一年和他们选择的论文实验室的兴趣。 GPIB补充了BBS和BPH伞计划的广泛而成功的培训 基本细菌学，发病机理和宿主反应的课程工作。两种必需的细菌学课程使用 在发展实验技能的同时，教学学生成为重要读者和思想家的主要文献 设计和沟通。还需要进行定量方法的其他培训。课程和 研究与职业指导相结合，专注于可转让技能，包括解决问题， 沟通和协作。 GPIB还提供了一系列资源和事件来帮助 学员确定了未来的职业机会。重要的是，我们的学员的成功和计划作为一个 整体不是理所当然的。一套新颖的调查，监视受训者及其导师的常规信息 计划评估。哈佛微生物学社区是一个多样化，热情和紧密的团体 科学家和GPIB确保该社区的严格和承诺将支持培训 几代成功的细菌学家。
