The Northwestern Center for Reproductive Science Predoctoral Training Program in Reproductive Science, Medicine, and Technology (CRS Training Program) will train future leaders in the reproductive sciences, while simultaneously improving human health. Over the 5-years of the CRS Training Program, we will train a total of 27 predoctoral students (in two year cohorts). These trainees will come from 6 of Northwestern's top graduate programs in the life sciences, chemistry, bioengineering, and medicine. Our freshly minted doctorates will enter the professional arena at an unusual time for science – one marked by low funding and fierce job competition. Therefore, we have designed a comprehensive educational paradigm with a focus on cutting edge and emerging technologies that will create successful leaders in reproductive science and across multiple disciplines in this lean, face-paced environment. Our trainees will receive well-rounded training in reproductive science and medicine through coursework spanning didactics on basic and clinical male and female reproductive physiology, reproductive technologies laboratory skills, research proposals and scientific communication, and responsible conduct of research. Our 20 CRS Training Program Mentors come from 12 departments and study reproductive science and medicine from basic, translational, and clinical perspectives. This diversity is complemented by a common emphasis on technological advances, as all mentors are either inventors or use new technologies to solve the largest unanswered questions in infertility and fertility, infectious diseases, reproductive tract diseases, and cancer. Trainee coursework and laboratory training will be bolstered by unique CRS Training Program experiences. All trainees will participate in Academic Accelerator Partnerships, which are extended laboratory and core facility exchanges, short courses, or externships designed to expose students to team science and the latest technologies related to their dissertation research. Trainees will also receive formalized professional and career development upskilling through our Career Catalyst Series which exposes our trainees to diverse career opportunities and prime them with the necessary career skills, including communication (written, oral, visual), self-assessment, networking, teamwork, and outreach. Our CRS Training Program is embedded in the Center for Reproductive Science (CRS), which has a four-decade history of keeping reproductive science and medicine visible, viable, and valuable. The CRS infrastructure will provide a physical space for our trainees and an intellectual hub of data clubs, seminars, workshops, and summits. Reproductive health is all-encompassing, and our program incorporates diversity across the spectrum - from our trainees, to our mentors, and to our outreach communities. Ultimately, this ambitious but tangible CRS Training Program will provide trainees with the most comprehensive formal training in our field; this coupled with the enthusiasm of our outstanding faculty and the career catapulting technologies that can be brought to bear on the critical questions of our field together represent the keys to successful training in reproductive science.

西北生殖科学中心生殖科学博士前培训项目， 医学和技术(CRS培训计划)将培训生殖科学方面的未来领导者，而 同时改善人类健康。在CRS培训计划的5年时间里，我们将培训 27名博士前学生(两年一组)。这些实习生将来自西北大学顶尖毕业生中的6人 生命科学、化学、生物工程和医学方面的课程。我们刚毕业的博士将进入 在科学的一个不寻常的时期，职业竞技场--一个以低资金和激烈的工作竞争为标志的时代。 因此，我们设计了以前沿和新兴为重点的全面教育范式 将造就生殖科学和跨多学科的成功领导者的技术 精干的、与脸部步伐一致的环境。我们的学员将接受全面的生殖科学和 医学课程跨越基础和临床男性和女性生殖生理学的教学论， 生殖技术实验室技能、研究建议和科学交流，并负责任 进行研究。我们的20名CRS培训项目导师来自12个部门，研究生殖 从基础、翻译和临床角度看科学和医学。这种多样性得到了一个 共同强调技术进步，因为所有导师要么是发明者，要么使用新技术 解决不孕不育、传染病、生殖道疾病、 和癌症。学员课程和实验室培训将由独特的CRS培训计划提供支持 经历。所有受训人员将参加学术加速器合作伙伴关系，这是扩展的实验室 以及核心设施交换、短期课程或外部实习，旨在让学生接触团队科学和 与论文研究相关的最新技术。受训人员还将获得正式的专业和 通过我们的Career Catalyst系列提升职业发展技能，使我们的学员接触到不同的职业 并使他们具备必要的职业技能，包括沟通(书面、口头、视觉)， 自我评估、网络、团队合作和拓展。我们的CRS培训计划嵌入了中心 为生殖科学(CRS)，它有40年的历史，保持生殖科学和医学 看得见的，可行的，有价值的。CRS基础设施将为我们的实习生和 数据俱乐部、研讨会、研讨会和峰会的智力中心。生殖健康是包罗万象的， 我们的项目涵盖了各个领域的多样性--从学员到导师，再到外展服务 社区。最终，这一雄心勃勃但实实在在的CRS培训计划将为学员提供 在我们的领域中接受全面的正规培训；再加上我们优秀教职员工的热情和 可以一起应用于我们领域的关键问题的职业弹射技术代表着 生殖科学培训成功的关键。
