This is an application for T32 funding to support predoctoral training in genetics at the University of Georgia. The award will replace the current T32 program, which has successfully trained students for 45 years. The Genetics Training Program (GTP) seeks to (i) help a diverse cohort of students develop the research and professional skills to become leaders in the biomedical workforce, and (ii) to create a supportive training environment where all students have the potential to succeed. To this end, our program of study provides graduate training across a broad range of modern genetics subdisciplines, coupled with professional development and career awareness. Foundational to our training goals, our program strives to maintain a training environment that is welcoming and inclusive, and to prioritize the holistic development of both trainees and their mentors. The 51 trainers come from 10 departments and span the breadth of genetics research. Trainers are committed to mentoring and to providing a supportive and inclusive training environment, and the program has mechanisms in place to support trainers as they continue to develop their own mentoring skills. GTP students enter UGA through one of two umbrella programs that employ a holistic admissions process. During the first semester, coursework and laboratory rotations within these programs help students develop the skills needed for success in graduate school. Students who choose GTP trainers for thesis research then become part of the GTP community and are eligible to apply for traineeships. We request funding for 10 traineeships per year. Traineeships are awarded during a student’s second and/or third year of graduate school, with a duration of one year and the possibility of renewal. The GTP core curriculum is required for trainees and is open to all students in GTP trainer laboratories. This curriculum includes training in genetic methods and analyses, quantitative and analytical skills, and oral and written communication. Courses emphasize cohort-building and use active learning strategies, and skills are mastered through iterative practice. The importance of rigor and transparency, and of responsible conduct in research, are introduced in specialized foundational classes and then reinforced through integration into subsequent coursework and thesis research. Professional development opportunities expose students to the diverse career options available to them and help students gain the skills and networking opportunities needed to access these positions. Student progress is monitored through regular assessment, and students are guided toward increasing research independence through active mentoring. Students graduate with advanced genetics knowledge, strong analytical and communication skills, and the confidence to lead and succeed in the biomedical workforce. We will track student outcomes and use program assessments to advance evidence- based innovations in mentoring, training, and diversity efforts within our program. We will also share our successes to catalyze positive changes in graduate education across the life sciences at UGA.

这是一份 T32 资金申请，用于支持佐治亚大学遗传学博士前培训。 该奖项将取代目前已成功培养学生 45 年的 T32 项目。这 遗传学培训计划 (GTP) 旨在 (i) 帮助不同群体的学生开展研究和 成为生物医学劳动力领导者的专业技能，以及（ii）创建支持性培训 所有学生都有成功潜力的环境。为此，我们的学习计划提供 跨广泛的现代遗传学子学科的研究生培训，加上专业 发展和职业意识。作为我们培训目标的基础，我们的计划致力于维持 热情、包容的培训环境，优先考虑学员的全面发展 和他们的导师。 51 名培训师来自 10 个部门，涵盖遗传学研究的各个领域。 培训师致力于指导并提供支持性和包容性的培训环境，并且 计划设有适当的机制来支持培训师继续发展自己的指导技能。 GTP 学生通过采用整体招生流程的两个伞式项目之一进入佐治亚大学。 在第一学期，这些课程中的课程作业和实验室轮换有助于学生发展 在研究生院取得成功所需的技能。选择GTP导师进行论文研究的同学 成为 GTP 社区的一部分，并有资格申请实习机会。我们请求资助 10 每年的实习机会。实习机会在学生毕业的第二年和/或第三年授予 学校，期限为一年并可以续签。 GTP核心课程是必需的 培训师实验室向 GTP 培训师实验室的所有学生开放。该课程包括遗传培训 方法和分析、定量和分析技能以及口头和书面沟通。课程 强调群组建设并使用主动学习策略，通过迭代掌握技能 实践。严格和透明以及负责任的研究行为的重要性在 专门的基础课程，然后通过融入后续课程进行强化 论文研究。专业发展机会使学生能够接触到多样化的职业选择 并帮助学生获得访问这些内容所需的技能和社交机会 职位。通过定期评估监控学生的进步，并指导学生 通过积极的指导提高研究的独立性。学生毕业时拥有先进的遗传学 知识、强大的分析和沟通能力以及领导并取得成功的信心 生物医学劳动力。我们将跟踪学生的成绩并使用项目评估来推进证据- 我们的计划中基于指导、培训和多元化工作的创新。我们也会分享我们的 成功促进了佐治亚大学生命科学研究生教育的积极变化。
