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（由申请人提供）：作为美国大学协会以及土地授予和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）的任务。我们对所有生物医学学员的目标是，他们不仅具有高度技能的学科，而且灵活，并且准备好面对不断变化的生物医学工作场所。 NIH最佳机制为正式和改善我们专业的研究生/博士后培训计划提供了宝贵的机会，并为所有涉及的各方提供好处：研究生，博士后研究员，教职员工， 大学和科学。必须为当今世界上真实的机遇做好准备，这是必须为那些受过训练的人做好准备的。 MSU BEST将整合MSU的新关键组件[正式的IDP，专业的实质性，成功领域（SOS）讲习班，团队建设，沟通]，并利用支持可转移技能（职业成功；健康）和并行指导的现有资源和计划）。高度敬业的最佳学者将参加这些关键组成部分。我们建议比较高度参与的最佳学者（测试组）与未参与最佳（对照组）的学员之间的结果，以确定我们的输入是否导致可分辨的变化。我们建议使用强大的干预措施，使结果是可衡量和可比的，我们的措施包括总结性和形成性结果。我们的最终目标是，MSU最佳计划所采用的实践已被接受并融入所有生物医学培训计划，以至于培训和考虑非学术职业的培训变得自然，无缝且被接受。
