PROJECT SUMMARY The overall mission of the UCSF/UC Berkeley Bioengineering Training Program is to train future leaders and innovators in bioengineering. We hope to instill a culture of collaboration, creativity, and productivity to support innovative and independent thinkers, capable of addressing critical questions at the interface of science and engineering. The program links two of the most productive and highly regarded research and educational institutions in the nation with the goal of creating opportunities for graduate students to experience how engineering principles can be brought to bear upon important problems in biomedical sciences and clinical care. Our 95 faculty are based in 25 departments over two campuses and their laboratories include an array of state- of-the art facilities. We pursue these goals through a combination of coursework, mentored research, and other structured training activities. The bioengineering training program provides a fundamental foundation in both engineering and biology, and integrates computational science and clinical exposure. Required courses teach students rigor and reproducibility, biostatistics, and computational approaches in research. Skills development in evaluating, proposing and communicating research is also threaded through the first year curriculum and reinforced by laboratory training and mentorship. Career exploration and professional development is emphasized from the beginning of the student experience and supported by robust program and institutional resources, and professional mentorship from program faculty, all of whom are required to participate in mentor development training. We anticipate supporting 20 trainees annually from the large pool of eligible students in the UCSF/UC Berkeley Graduate Program in Bioengineering, which aims to enroll 35 new entrants each year. Intended program outcomes include degree completion in 5-6 years, generation and communication of a body of rigorous and impactful bioengineering research, and successful transition to a diversity of bioengineering- related careers. We strive to provide an inclusive learning and mentoring atmosphere so that we can uphold the same high standards for program outcomes for all students, including those from underrepresented backgrounds, students with disability, and students from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds. The unique ability for bioengineers to integrate principles from diverse fields and thereby span the gap between advances in basic science and clinical utilization places individuals trained in this field at a critical point in advancing the research and education mission of NIH NIGMS.

项目概要 加州大学旧金山分校/加州大学伯克利分校生物工程培训项目的总体使命是培养未来的领导者和 生物工程领域的创新者。我们希望灌输协作、创造力和生产力的文化来支持 创新和独立的思想家，能够解决科学与技术交叉领域的关键问题 工程。该计划将两个最具生产力和最受推崇的研究和教育领域联系起来 国家机构的目标是为研究生创造机会体验如何 工程原理可以应用于解决生物医学和临床护理中的重要问题。 我们的 95 名教职人员分布在两个校区的 25 个系，他们的实验室包括一系列州立实验室 最先进的设施。我们通过课程作业、指导研究和其他方式的结合来实现这些目标 结构化的培训活动。生物工程培训计划为这两个方面提供了基础 工程学和生物学，并整合了计算科学和临床暴露。必修课程教授 学生研究中的严谨性和可重复性、生物统计学和计算方法。技能发展 在评估、提出和交流研究方面也贯穿第一年的课程和 通过实验室培训和指导得到加强。职业探索和专业发展是 从一开始就强调学生的经历并得到强有力的计划和机构的支持 项目教师的资源和专业指导，所有这些人都必须参加导师 发展培训。我们预计每年会从大量符合条件的学生中支持 20 名学员 加州大学旧金山分校/加州大学伯克利分校生物工程研究生项目，旨在每年招收 35 名新学生。 预期的项目成果包括在 5-6 年内完成学位、形成和交流一个机构 严谨而有影响力的生物工程研究，以及向生物工程多样性的成功过渡- 相关职业。我们努力提供包容性的学习和指导氛围，以便我们能够坚持 对所有学生（包括来自代表性不足的学生）的课程成果实行同样的高标准 背景、残疾学生和来自社会经济弱势背景的学生。这 生物工程师具有整合不同领域原理的独特能力，从而跨越不同领域之间的差距 基础科学和临床应用的进步使受过该领域培训的人员处于关键时刻 推进 NIH NIGMS 的研究和教育使命。
