The Whole Scientist Program

 描述(由申请人提供)：目前生物医学科学的博士后和博士后培训在狭窄的实验室技能范围内有效地培训了新兴的科学家。不幸的是，培训没有改变，教授其他技能--沟通、管理、创业等--这些技能对在科学领域取得成功变得越来越重要。对于十分之九的博士级别的科学家来说，这些技能尤其重要，他们最终追求的是传统学术终身制之外的工作。整个科学家计划(WSP)在杰克逊实验室(JAX)为博士后和博士后学习者提供了传统生物医学培训计划中没有教授的必要技能的强有力的培训。它将课堂学习与应用实践相结合，帮助学习者在教学、管理和沟通方面培养能力和信心。它还将使学习者接触到学术终身教职之外各种各样有价值的专业科学职业。JAX是该课程的理想场所，因为它的许多方面-鼠标模型的开发和分发、数据库管理、核心科学服务等-提供了各种奖励科学职业的例子和现场优秀的实践教师。WSP将在日本宇宙航空研究开发机构内外向学员提供，并将加强学员所在机构提供的传统核心培训方案。它还将被开发为一门在线课程，以扩大其外联范围。该课程在教授不同技能方面的有效性和对学习者职业道路的影响将被仔细评估并以规定的间隔跟踪，并将反馈纳入未来的课程。

 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.
