细胞、分子、发育生物学和生物物理学(CMDB)研究生课程是一个独立的、 约翰霍普金斯大学(JHU)独立的生物医学培训计划，涵盖五个基础科学 各部门和卡内基研究所，都在艺术和科学霍姆伍德校园。它已经得到了资助 通过一笔T32赠款，目前已完成第46个年头。该项目寻求生产独立的生物医学 科学家通过严格的培训和广泛的经验获得强大的、可移植的技能 在数量生物学、科学交流、教学、指导和社区推广方面。 CMDB的培训理念有两个核心组成部分。第一个是致力于广泛但 综合培训体验。我们的跨学科培训教师体现了广泛的研究兴趣， 横跨定量生物物理和生物化学、发育遗传学以及现代细胞和分子 生物学。最近招聘的教师引入了计算生物学和基因组学的新领域，进一步支持了 跨学科互动，但我们仍然是一个有凝聚力的社区，通过共享课程、研讨会、 和合作。学生通过核心课程获得所有学科的广泛科学和技术技能 在专攻他们的论文研究之前，他们先转了四圈。指导和促进负责任的研究 品行是整个培训不可或缺的一部分。哲学的第二个组成部分代表着形成一个完整的 科学家。这涉及的不仅仅是在实验室里的卓越：我们培训研究人员使其有效 传播者、教育者和领导者，并支持他们的外展努力。为此，我们扩大了培训范围 包括发展科学交流和教学技能，以及我们的学生参与科学 在地方和全国范围内进行外联。通过项目内的活动和JHU资源，我们的学生探索职业 超越学术研究的。招聘努力导致了JHU最多样化的毕业生之一 程序。平均有17名TGE学生进入CMDB，他们将得到T32的支持 一年级，由JHU提供助学金和学费补助。2017年，我们启动了以调查为基础的倡议 以评估该计划的有效性。CMDB门户包含这些数据，提供透明信息 给在校生和未来的学生。这些信息指导计划-我们通过数据促进创新- 推动教师导师培训、学生评估、灵活的职业机会和学生 留存。 这份申请详细说明了该计划的成果和我们计划推进的理念， 已经取得了巨大的成功-致力于广泛的跨学科科学培训，强调 形成杰出的传播者和教育者，回馈社区的科学家， 以及招募、培养和促进下一代生物医学研究人员的卓越发展的使命。

The Cell, Molecular, Developmental Biology and Biophysics (CMDB) graduate program is an independent, stand-alone biomedical training program at Johns Hopkins University (JHU) that spans five basic science departments and the Carnegie Institution, all on the Arts and Sciences Homewood campus. It has been funded by a single T32 grant currently completing its 46th year. The program seeks to produce independent biomedical scientists through rigorous training and wide-ranging experiences wherein they acquire robust, transferable skills in quantitative biology, science communication, teaching, mentoring, and community outreach. The CMDB training philosophy features two core components. The first is a commitment to a broad but integrated training experience. Our interdisciplinary training faculty embody a breadth of research interests that span quantitative biophysics and biochemistry, developmental genetics, and modern cellular and molecular biology. Recent faculty hires introduced new areas of computational biology and genomics, further bolstering cross-disciplinary interactions, yet we remain a cohesive community, integrated via shared courses, seminars, and collaborations. Students gain broad scientific, technical skills in all disciplines through a core curriculum and four rotations before specializing in their thesis research. Instruction and promotion of responsible research conduct is integral to the entire training. The philosophy’s second component represents forming a complete scientist. This involves more than excellence in the laboratory: We train researchers to be effective communicators, educators, and leaders and support their outreach efforts. To that end, we expanded our training to include development of scientific communication and teaching skills, and our students participate in scientific outreach locally and nationally. Via in-program initiatives and JHU resources, our students explore careers extending beyond academic research. Recruitment efforts have led to one of the most diverse JHU graduate programs. On average, 17 TGE students matriculate into CMDB, and they will be supported by the T32 for their 1st year with stipend and tuition supplements provided by JHU. In 2017, we launched a survey-based initiative to assess the program’s effectiveness. The CMDB portal contains these data, providing transparent information to current and prospective students. This information guides the program—we foster innovation through data- driven decisions on faculty mentor training, student assessment, flexible career opportunities, and student retention. This application details the program’s gains and our plans to move forward with a philosophy that has already produced great success—dedication to broad, interdisciplinary scientific training, an emphasis on forming scientists who are outstanding communicators and educators and who give back to their communities, and a mission to recruit, nurture, and promote excellence in the next generation of biomedical researchers.
