NICHD Office of Education

教育办公室为平均250名受训人员提供研讨会、项目和个性化机会，其中包括博士后、访问和研究研究员、临床研究员和医学生、研究生、毕业后研究员以及夏季受训人员。这些活动通常包括：公开演讲研讨会、工作面试、为专业学校和求职申请提供的写作和编辑服务、格兰特技能研讨会、研究道德培训、学术和非学术职业研讨会和网络研讨会以及一对一咨询、临床跟踪、通过我们与马里兰大学的年度NICHD后背包课程和培训计划提供的教学机会，以及实验室管理计划。我们还在积极地与霍华德大学合作，提供研究、教学和指导机会。每年春季都会为研究员和研究生举办一次年度静修活动，以讨论科学发展和职业生涯，其中包括主旨演讲、研究员演讲、由NICHD校友领导的职业圆桌讨论，以及每位与会者的海报演示。该项目由一个同学指导委员会开发和运行。我们还与DIR内的不同办公室和科学小组合作，以实现总体培训目标和政策制定，如终身教职跟踪指导、增加研究员津贴和为受邀演讲者举办亲和力小组研讨会系列。 由于新冠肺炎的流行，我们的三分钟演讲比赛和暑期实习计划被推迟到2021年，今年剩余的背影机会也被推迟了。在该办公室过去一年的成就中，Triesta Fowler博士在教育办公室担任了新的沟通和外联主任，Fady Hannah-Shmount博士担任了研究生医学教育主任的新角色。该办公室于2016年为研究员开发了在线年度进展审查(APR)，以跟踪科学和职业发展和进展。作为调查人员对指导的评估的一部分，这些APR报告也被提供给BSC的现场访问。此外，还开发了一项新的在线研究员离职调查，不久将针对我们的受训人员群体发布。本次离职调查旨在全面了解学员在NICHD的经历，与学员保持联系，了解他们的职业变动，并帮助我们改进培训计划。从2008年至今，NICHD校友数据库继续更新，我们汇编了一份宝贵的组织名单，接受NIH内部研究员的赠款申请，包括NIH和非NIH资助机制。第十三届NICHD部门年度研究导师奖将在2020年11月13日举行的虚拟NICHD DIPHR和DIR联合科学务虚会上公布。对于NICHD，为2021年的比赛颁发了18个票价奖项。除了院士校内助学金补充计划(FICS)继续认可和鼓励院士之间的助学金申请外，我们为NICHD博士后和临床研究员、我们的院内研究奖学金(IRF)启动了第四个周期，为我们竞争激烈的内部资助机会。它的最终目标是促进拨款的编写，并提高对NIH拨款申请的各个组成部分的认识。我们研究所与INSERM建立了一个交流项目，国家圣保罗医学院(法国)，这为美国和法国科学家提供了一个独特的机会，以获得博士后培训分别与法国和美国的导师，并从圣卡萨德圣保罗医学院(巴西)的2年级和3年级医学生培训NICHD的研究人员以及未来的研究人员计划。自2016年以来，每年最多有三名学生完成与NICHD的研究轮换。研究员招募激励奖(FRIA)继续支持从传统上在科学界代表性较低的人群中招聘博士后的调查人员，这些调查人员还表现出卓越的指导能力，并表现出对其研究员的职业发展和学术进步的承诺。Fria项目目前有三名研究员，其中一人于今年加入，两名Fria校友已开始在印度卫生服务和美国生物化学和分子生物学学会从事科学管理工作。我们的NICHD发展中学者项目的校友已进入第10个年头，现已扩大到19人；目前有8名学者在医学院或研究生院就读，4名学者在全美各地参加住院医师教育项目。我们的两名校友学者已经完成了他们的硕士学位，其中一人从事公共卫生事业，另一人从事生物医药行业。此外，2020年还有四名新的博士后加入了这一计划。发展中的学者计划专注于为学员提供定制的学术和专业发展计划，其中包括接触校内活动和资源，以及支持他们的职业发展。最后，NICHD Connection每月通讯继续关注青年科学家的指导、职业和学术支持计划，并于2020年9月出版第124期，面向校内部门的所有成员和我们的校友。

The Office of Education delivers workshops, programs, and individualized opportunities to a population averaging 250 trainees, including postdoctoral, visiting, and research fellows; clinical fellows and medical students; graduate students; and postbaccalaureate fellows, as well as summer trainees. The activities include, typically: public speaking workshops, job interviewing, writing and editorial services for professional school and job applications, grantsmanship workshops, research ethics training, academic and non-academic career seminars and webinars and one-on-one counseling, clinical shadowing, teaching opportunities through our annual NICHD postbac course and a training program with the University of Maryland, and lab management programs. We are also actively working on a collaboration with Howard University for research, teaching, mentoring opportunities. An annual retreat for fellows and graduate students is held each spring to address scientific developments and careers, which includes a keynote address, fellow presentations, career round table discussions led by NICHD alumni, and a poster presentation by each attendee. The program is developed and run by a fellow-student steering committee. We also work collaboratively with various office and scientific groups within DIR to achieve overall training goals and policy development, such as tenure track mentoring, fellow stipends increase, and affinity group seminar series for invited speakers. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our TmT (Three-minute Talks) competition and the Summer Internship Program (SIP) were postponed until 2021 as well as the remaining postbac shadowing opportunities for the year. Among the office's accomplishments from the past year, Dr. Triesta Fowler took on a new role in the Office of Education as Director of Communications and Outreach, and Dr. Fady Hannah-Shmouni took on the new role of Director of Graduate Medical Education. The office developed an online Annual Progress Review (APR) for fellows, launched in 2016, to track scientific and career development and progress. As part of investigators' assessments of mentoring, these fellow APR reports are also provided for the BSC site visits. In addition, a new online fellows exit survey has been developed and will be released soon for our trainee population. This exit survey aims to obtain a comprehensive view of trainees experiences at NICHD and to stay connected with the trainees and learn of their career moves, as well as to help us improve our training program. The database of NICHD alumni from 2008 to the present continues to be updated, and we have compiled a valuable list of organizations that accepts grant applications from NIH intramural fellows, both NIH and non-NIH funding mechanisms. The 13th NICHD Division of Intramural Research Mentor of the Year awards will be announced at the November 13, 2020 virtual NICHD DIPHR & DIR Joint Scientific Retreat. For NICHD, 18 FARE awards were made for the 2021 competition. In addition to the Fellows Intramural Grants Supplement (FIGS) continuing to recognize and stimulate grant applications among fellows, we launched the fourth cycle for our competitive internal funding opportunity for NICHD postdoctoral and clinical fellows, our Intramural Research Fellowships (IRFs). Its ultimate goal is to promote grant writing and enhance awareness of various components for an NIH grant application. Our institute has established an exchange program with Inserm, the Institut National de la Sante et de la Recherche Medicale (France), which provides a unique opportunity for US and French scientists to obtain postdoctoral training with French and US mentors, respectively, and 2nd and 3rd year medical students from the Santa Casa de So Paulo School of Medical Sciences (Brazil) train with NICHD investigators as well for the Future Researchers Program. Since 2016, up to three students on an annual basis completed a research rotation with NICHD. The Fellows Recruitment Incentive Award (FRIA) continues to support investigators who recruit postdocs from populations traditionally underrepresented in science, and these investigators also exhibit superior mentoring ability and demonstrate a commitment to the career development and academic progress of their fellows. There are currently three fellows in the FRIA program, one of which joined this year, and two FRIA alumni have started careers in science administration at Indian Health Service and American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. The alumni of our NICHD Developing Scholars program, in its 10th year, has expanded to 19 individuals; eight scholars are currently either in medical or graduate school and four are in medical resident education programs across the US. Two of our alumni scholars have completed their masters degrees with one pursuing a career in public health and the other in biomedical industry. In addition, four new postbacs have joined the program in 2020. The Developing Scholars program focuses on providing trainees with a customized academic and professional development plan that includes exposure to intramural activities and resources as well as supporting their career advancement. Lastly, the NICHD Connection monthly newsletter continues its focus on mentoring, careers, and academic support programs for young scientists, publishing its 124th issue in September 2020 and reaching all members of the intramural division and our alumni.
