DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): As a member of the Association of American Universities and the Association of Land-grant and Public Universities, graduate education and training are missions of Michigan State University (MSU). Our goal for all trainees in biomedical science is that they are not only highly skilled in their discipline, but flexible and well prepare to thrive in face an ever-changing biomedical workplace. The NIH BEST mechanism affords a valuable opportunity to formalize and improve our professional graduate/postdoctoral training programs, with benefits for all parties involved: graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, faculty, the university and science. It is imperative that those who that are trained are better prepared for the opportunities that are real in today's world. MSU BEST will integrate key components that are new to MSU [formal IDP, professional externships, Spheres of Success (SoS) workshops, team building, communication] and leverage existing resources and programs that support training in transferrable skills (Career Success; Wellness) and parallel mentoring]. The highly engaged BEST scholar will participate in these key components. We propose a comparison of outcomes between highly engaged BEST Scholars (test group) and trainees not engaged in BEST (control group) to determine if our input has causes discernable changes. We propose use of strong interventions such that outcomes are measurable and comparable, and our measures include both summative and formative outcomes. Our ultimate goal is that the practices employed by the MSU BEST program become accepted and integrated into all biomedical training programs such that training for and consideration of non-academic careers becomes natural, seamless and accepted.

描述(申请人提供)：作为美国大学协会和土地赠与与公立大学协会的成员，研究生教育和培训是密歇根州立大学(MSU)的使命。我们对所有生物医学受训人员的目标是，他们不仅在各自的学科上高度熟练，而且灵活多变，做好充分准备，能够在不断变化的生物医学工作场所中茁壮成长。NIH的最佳机制提供了一个宝贵的机会，使我们的专业研究生/博士后培训计划正规化和改进，并使所有相关各方受益：研究生、博士后研究员、教职员工、 大学和理工科。那些受过培训的人必须为当今世界真正的机会做好更好的准备。密歇根州立大学BEST将整合密歇根州立大学[正式的身份识别计划、专业的外部奖学金、成功领域(SOS)研讨会、团队建设、沟通]的新关键组成部分，并利用支持可转移技能培训(事业成功；健康)和平行指导的现有资源和计划。高度参与的最佳学者将参与这些关键组成部分。我们建议对高度投入的最佳学者(试验组)和没有从事最佳学者培训的受训者(控制组)的结果进行比较，以确定我们的投入是否导致了可识别的变化。我们建议使用强有力的干预措施，使结果是可衡量和可比较的，我们的措施既包括终结性结果，也包括形成性结果。我们的最终目标是，密歇根州立大学最佳项目所采用的实践被接受，并被整合到所有生物医学培训项目中，从而使非学术职业的培训和考虑变得自然、无缝和被接受。
