The Whole Scientist Program

 描述（由申请人提供）：目前在生物医学科学的博士前和博士后培训有效地培养在实验室为基础的技能的狭窄范围内的新兴科学家。不幸的是，培训并没有改变，以教授其他技能-沟通，管理，创业精神和更多-这些对科学事业的成功越来越重要。这些技能对于10个博士中的9个来说尤其重要。最终追求传统学术终身职位轨道之外的工作的科学家。整体科学家计划（WSP），如提议的那样，在杰克逊实验室（JAX）为博士前和博士后学习者提供传统生物医学培训计划中没有教授的必要技能的强大培训。它将课堂学习与应用实习相结合，帮助学习者培养教学，管理和沟通的能力和信心。它还将使学习者接触到学术终身职位轨道之外的各种各样的有价值的专业科学职业。JAX是课程的理想场所，因为它的许多方面-鼠标模型开发和分发，数据库管理，核心科学服务等-提供各种奖励科学事业和优秀的实习导师现场的例子。WSP将提供给JAX内外的学习者，并将加强学习者所在机构提供的传统核心培训课程。还将把它发展成一个在线课程，以扩大其推广范围。该课程在教授各种技能方面的有效性以及对学习者职业道路的影响将在规定的时间间隔内得到认真评估和跟踪，并将反馈纳入今后的课程。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Current pre- and postdoctoral training in the biomedical sciences effectively trains rising scientists within a narrow scope of laboratory-based skills. Unfortunately, the training hasn't changed to teach other skills- communications, management, entrepreneurship and more-that have become increasingly vital for successful careers in science. And such skills are particularly essential for the nine out of 10 Ph.D.-level scientists who ultimately pursue work outside the traditional academic tenure track. The Whole Scientist Program (WSP), as proposed, provides robust training at The Jackson Laboratory (JAX) for pre- and postdoctoral learners in necessary skills not taught in traditional biomedical training programs. It combines classroom learning with applied practicums to help learners develop capability and confidence in teaching, management and communications. It will also expose learners to a wide variety of rewarding professional scientific careers outside the academic tenure track. JAX is an ideal venue for the course, as its many facets-mouse model development and distribution, database management, core scientific services, etc.-provide varied examples of rewarding scientific careers and excellent practicum instructors on-site. The WSP will be offered to learners both within and outside JAX and will enhance the traditional core training programs offered by learners' home institutions. It will also be developed as an on-line course to expand its outreach. The course's effectiveness at teaching diverse skills and impact on learners' career paths will be carefully assessed and tracked at defined intervals, with feedback incorporated into future course offerings.
