NIDDK Office of Fellow Recruitment and Career Development

研究金办公室继续开展一系列广泛的活动，以改善研究员的总体研究经验。 通过与研究员咨询委员会的集体努力，我们于2014年4月举行了另一次非常成功的年度研究员科学会议。 这个为期两天的研究和职业发展为导向的会议为我们的博士后，临床和博士前研究员提供了一个机会，与我们研究所的其他年轻科学家分享他们的研究成果。 其目标是促进思想的交流，发展新的研究合作，交流技术知识，并培养研究员之间的社区意识。 所有研究员都有机会以口头或海报形式介绍他们的研究项目和兴趣;今年约有120人参加。 会议的许多会议都侧重于职业管理和学术问题。有一些会议集中在发展科学事业的不同方面，无论是在和远离板凳。我们还举行了小组讨论，邀请最近的NIDDK博士后校友分享他们在新工作环境中的个人生活经历。 在过去的一年里，受欢迎和广泛参加的赠款写作研讨会和南希·诺萨尔奖学金奖周期也值得注意，这些奖学金继续为研究员提供真实世界的赠款写作经验。

The Fellowship Office continues to carry out its broad portfolio of activities directed at improving the overall research experience of our Fellows. Through collective efforts with the Fellows Advisory Board, we carried out another very successful Annual Fellows Scientific Conference in April 2014. This two-day research and career development-oriented meeting provided an opportunity for our Postdoctoral, Clinical, and Predoctoral Fellows to share their research findings with other young scientists at our Institute. The goal is to promote cross-fertilization of ideas, develop new research collaborations, exchange technical knowledge, and foster a sense of community among the Fellows. All fellows had the opportunity to present their research projects and interests as either oral or poster presentations; approximately 120 participated this year. Many of the sessions at the Conference focused on career management and academics. There were a number of sessions concentrating on the different aspects of developing a scientific career, both at and away from the bench. We also held panel discussions featuring recent NIDDK Postdoctoral Alumni who shared their personal experiences about life in their new job settings. This past year was also notable for the popular and widely attended Grant Writing Workshops and for the Nancy Nossal Fellowship Award cycles that continue to provide Fellows with a real-world grant writing experience.
