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 本申请申请资助哈佛大学8名二年级和三年级的研究生。 细菌学研究生课程(GPIB)。这个项目的目标是培养高技能的实验者。 坚定地植根于科学方法的逻辑和严谨，并在此基础上使他们能够识别 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)和哈佛大学细菌学研究和培训的成功世纪 陈氏公共卫生学院(HSPH)。这个校际项目的核心是一个充满活力和支持性的 微生物学家社区的力量来自几十年的科学交流，积极的合作， 训练的成功，以及长久的友谊。GPIB利用同志情谊、导师关系和 这个社区的基础设施，并将其与课程作业、特定于项目的活动和论文相结合 研究。22个项目教员实验室的实习生研究从基因调控到细胞壁的各种主题。 耐药性的分子基础及其在种群中传播的生物发生。学生 通过HMS的生物和生物医学科学(BBS)计划或生物学进入GPIB HSPH的公共卫生科学(BPH)计划和被选为该计划的依据是他们表达的 研究生第一年对GPIB的兴趣和他们对论文实验室的选择。 GPIB补充了BBS和BPH伞形计划广泛和成功的培训，重点是 基础细菌学、致病机理和宿主反应方面的课程。使用两门必需的细菌学课程 初级文学教授学生成为批判性的读者和思考者，同时在实验中培养技能 设计和沟通。定量方法方面的额外培训也是必要的。课程作业和 研究与职业指导相结合，侧重于可转移的技能，包括解决问题， 沟通和协作。GPIB还提供了一组资源和事件，帮助 受训者确定未来的职业机会。重要的是，我们实习生和项目的成功 整体并不是理所当然的。一组新的调查，监测学员和他们的导师通知定期 计划评估。哈佛微生物学社区是一个多元化、充满激情和紧密联系的群体 科学家和GPIB确保这个社区的严谨和承诺将支持培训 一代代成功的细菌学家。
