Reproductive and Developmental Sciences Training Program - T32

项目摘要/摘要 由于对动物和人类生殖生物学的研究对人类健康具有如此广泛的影响， 我们在密歇根州立大学建立了生殖与发育科学培训项目(RDSTP)。 在一大群有成就的调查人员中，并得到大量机构承诺的支持， RDSTP培训年轻科学家在NICHD/生育力确定的高优先级项目主题领域进行研究 不孕不育(FI)科和妇科健康与疾病科。提供与这些NICHD相关的培训 目标领域，RDSTP学员从四个专业领域中选择：性腺和配子生物学，早期 发育、生殖道生物学和妇科病理学及环境影响因素 繁殖。每个领域都包含多名教员培训师，提供出色的研究机会和培训 在他们的每个特定专业领域的环境中。生殖与发展科学项目 密歇根州立大学在过去五年中进行了广泛的扩张，做出了大量的机构承诺，以及 正在继续扩大，这为培养年轻科学家提供了一个充满活力和丰富的环境。RDSTP将 追求在新兴、尖端、NICHD认可的高级研究领域提供能力的目标 兴趣，并提供长期职业和职业发展的基本技能，具有以下资格 参与我们社区中更广泛的科学家角色。后者将包括发展实验室技能， 严谨、负责任和可重复的研究方法、口头和书面沟通技能、管理和 指导技能、各种其他专业技能、教学技能和其他对未来至关重要的专业技能 在学术上和其他职业机会上都取得成功。一种研究辅导优化程序，旨在 实习生和培训师，关于职业道路多样性的教育，以及与密歇根州立大学的许多项目的协调 增强多样性，共同将该计划提升到培训和专业发展的最高标准。 该培训计划旨在确保学员具备充分的准备，以应对成功的挑战 任何专业环境，无论是学者还是其他多样化的职业道路，都可以在其中充分进行科学培训 被利用了。

Project Summary/Abstract Because research into both animal and human reproductive biology has such widespread implications for human health, we established the Reproductive and Developmental Sciences Training Program (RDSTP) at Michigan State University. Housed within a large group of accomplished investigators and supported by substantial institutional commitments, the RDSTP trains young scientists to pursue research in High Priority Program Topic Areas identified by the NICHD/Fertility and Infertility (FI) Branch and the Gynecologic Health and Disease Branch. To provide training related to these NICHD target areas, the RDSTP trainees select from among four Areas of Specialization: Gonad and Gamete biology, Early Development, Reproductive Tract Biology and Gynecological Pathologies, and Environmental Factors impacting Reproduction. Each area contains multiple faculty trainers offering outstanding research opportunities and training environments in each of their specific areas of expertise. The Reproductive and Developmental Sciences program at Michigan State University has expanded extensively in the past five years with substantial institutional commitment, and is continuing to expand which provides a dynamic and rich environment for training young scientists. The RDSTP will pursue the objectives of providing competence in emerging, cutting-edge, NICHD-recognized areas of high research interest, and providing essential skills for long-term career and professional development, with qualifications to participate in the broader roles of scientists in our community. The latter will include developing laboratory skills, rigorous, responsible and reproducible approaches to research, verbal and written communication skills, management and mentoring skills, diverse other professional skills, teaching skills, and other expertise that will be essential for future success in both academics as well as alternate career opportunities. A research mentoring optimization program aimed at both trainee and trainers, education about career path diversity, and coordination with numerous programs at MSU that enhance diversity collectively elevate the program to the highest of standards for training and professional development. The training program is designed to ensure that trainees are fully equipped to meet the challenges required to succeed in any professional environment be it academics or other diverse career paths in which their scientific training can be fully utilized.
