The Cell, Molecular, Developmental Biology and Biophysics (CMDB) graduate program is an independent, stand-alone biomedical training program at Johns Hopkins University (JHU) that spans five basic science departments and the Carnegie Institution, all on the Arts and Sciences Homewood campus. It has been funded by a single T32 grant currently completing its 46th year. The program seeks to produce independent biomedical scientists through rigorous training and wide-ranging experiences wherein they acquire robust, transferable skills in quantitative biology, science communication, teaching, mentoring, and community outreach. The CMDB training philosophy features two core components. The first is a commitment to a broad but integrated training experience. Our interdisciplinary training faculty embody a breadth of research interests that span quantitative biophysics and biochemistry, developmental genetics, and modern cellular and molecular biology. Recent faculty hires introduced new areas of computational biology and genomics, further bolstering cross-disciplinary interactions, yet we remain a cohesive community, integrated via shared courses, seminars, and collaborations. Students gain broad scientific, technical skills in all disciplines through a core curriculum and four rotations before specializing in their thesis research. Instruction and promotion of responsible research conduct is integral to the entire training. The philosophy’s second component represents forming a complete scientist. This involves more than excellence in the laboratory: We train researchers to be effective communicators, educators, and leaders and support their outreach efforts. To that end, we expanded our training to include development of scientific communication and teaching skills, and our students participate in scientific outreach locally and nationally. Via in-program initiatives and JHU resources, our students explore careers extending beyond academic research. Recruitment efforts have led to one of the most diverse JHU graduate programs. On average, 17 TGE students matriculate into CMDB, and they will be supported by the T32 for their 1st year with stipend and tuition supplements provided by JHU. In 2017, we launched a survey-based initiative to assess the program’s effectiveness. The CMDB portal contains these data, providing transparent information to current and prospective students. This information guides the program—we foster innovation through data- driven decisions on faculty mentor training, student assessment, flexible career opportunities, and student retention. This application details the program’s gains and our plans to move forward with a philosophy that has already produced great success—dedication to broad, interdisciplinary scientific training, an emphasis on forming scientists who are outstanding communicators and educators and who give back to their communities, and a mission to recruit, nurture, and promote excellence in the next generation of biomedical researchers.

细胞、分子、发育生物学和生物物理学 (CMDB) 研究生课程是一个独立的、 约翰·霍普金斯大学 (JHU) 的独立生物医学培训项目涵盖五个基础科学 各系和卡内基研究所均位于艺术与科学霍姆伍德校区。已获资助 由一项 T32 拨款资助，目前已完成第 46 个年头。该计划旨在培养独立的生物医学 科学家通过严格的培训和广泛的经验获得强大的、可转移的技能 定量生物学、科学传播、教学、指导和社区外展。 CMDB 培训理念有两个核心组成部分。第一个是对广泛但 综合培训经验。我们的跨学科培训教师体现了广泛的研究兴趣 跨越定量生物物理学和生物化学、发育遗传学以及现代细胞和分子 生物学。最近聘用的教师引入了计算生物学和基因组学的新领域，进一步支持了 跨学科互动，但我们仍然是一个有凝聚力的社区，通过共享课程、研讨会、 和合作。学生通过核心课程获得所有学科的广泛科学和技术技能 在专门从事论文研究之前进行了四次轮换。指导和促进负责任的研究 行为是整个培训不可或缺的一部分。该哲学的第二个组成部分代表形成一个完整的 科学家。这不仅仅涉及实验室的卓越：我们培训研究人员以提高效率 传播者、教育者和领导者，并支持他们的外展工作。为此，我们扩大了培训范围 包括科学沟通和教学技能的发展，我们的学生参与科学 在当地和全国范围内进行推广。通过项目内的举措和 JHU 资源，我们的学生探索职业 超越学术研究。招聘工作造就了最多元化的约翰霍普金斯大学毕业生之一 程序。平均有 17 名 TGE 学生入读 CMDB，他们将获得 T32 的支持 第一年由 JHU 提供津贴和学费补贴。 2017 年，我们发起了一项基于调查的举措 评估该计划的有效性。 CMDB门户包含这些数据，提供透明的信息 给现在和未来的学生。这些信息指导该计划——我们通过数据促进创新—— 关于教师导师培训、学生评估、灵活的职业机会和学生的驱动决策 保留。 该申请详细介绍了该计划的成果以及我们的计划，以一种理念推进 已经取得了巨大的成功——致力于广泛的、跨学科的科学培训，强调 培养杰出的传播者和教育者并回馈社区的科学家， 以及招募、培养和促进下一代生物医学研究人员的卓越使命。
