Graduate Training at the Biology-Chemistry Interface

项目摘要 堪萨斯大学生物-化学界面的研究生培训计划旨在 创新研究生培训（1）提供跨生物化学界面的培训， 强调学生和导师的严谨性，可重复性和透明度，（2）增强 通过广泛实施个人职业发展计划，促进KU研究生的职业发展 发展计划，以及（3）继续努力创造一个包容性的环境， 科学家的人口。这项新计划建立在以前的计划基础上，得到了26年的支持， 国家普通医学科学研究所这一非常成功的计划建立了一个 化学生物学研究生证书课程，使其课程提供给更广泛的 研究生人口，包括国际学生。在这项新的应用程序中，我们建议 通过新的课程和导师/学员提高可重复性和职业发展 经验特别是，我们已经重新设计了现有的课程，在职业类在 生物医学科学，并增加了一个新的课程实验设计。我们还实施了一项 导师培训计划开启关于科学严谨性，可重复性和透明度的对话 和学员的职业发展，同时促进包容性的气氛。一批申请者将 由化学系生物化学界面的导师提名， 药物化学、分子生物科学和药物化学。我们安排了10个实习生， 任期两年。拟议的培训方案的首要目标是产生一个 在严格和透明的科学方法方面受过良好训练的各种科学家， 实验设计和数据解释，以及开发所需专业技能的人员 在广泛的研究密集型或研究相关职业中取得成功。

Project Summary The Graduate Training Program at the Biology-Chemistry Interface at the University of Kansas aims to innovate graduate training by (1) providing training across the biology-chemistry interface that emphasizes rigor, reproducibility, and transparency for both students and mentors, (2) augmenting career development for graduate students at KU through a broad implementation of Individual Development Plans, and (3) continuing to strive for an inclusive environment that develops a diverse population of scientists. This new program builds on a previous program with 26 years of support from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences. This highly successful program has instituted a Graduate Certificate Program in Chemical Biology to make its curriculum available to the broader graduate student population, including international students. With this new application, we propose to enhance reproducibility and career development through new coursework and mentor/mentee experiences. In particular, we have redesigned existing coursework with a class in Careers in the Biomedical Sciences and added a new course in Experimental Design. We have also implemented a Mentor Training program to open a dialogue about rigor, reproducibility, and transparency in science and mentee career development, while promoting an inclusive climate. A pool of applicants will be nominated by mentors across the biology-chemistry interface in the Departments of Chemistry, Medicinal Chemistry, Molecular Biosciences, and Pharmaceutical Chemistry. We project 10 trainees, to be appointed for 2 years. The overarching goal of the proposed training program is to produce a diverse population of scientists who are well-trained in rigorous and transparent scientific methodology, experimental design, and data interpretation, and who have developed the professional skills required to find success in a broad range of research-intensive or research-related careers.
