Graduate Research Training Initiative for Student Enhancement (G-RISE) (T32) at Rutgers University-Newark

摘要 拟议中的G-RISE计划的使命是增加博士的数量 在生物学、化学、神经科学和 心理学谁将继续博士后研究奖学金/职位，在一个 进入生物医学/行为研究队伍的轨迹。为了实现这一 目标，我们的主要计划目标是：1）培养每个学员：自我效能感， 选择的专业，自我认同为研究科学家，以及他们的信心， 是其科学界不可或缺的贡献成员; 2）发展我们的 学员的技术和专业技能，需要进行研究，在道德上， 负责和严谨的态度; 3）发展我们的学员的教学，研究， 指导和职业发展技能; 4）促进我们的学员及时实现 对博士学位的机构要求; 5)培养和促进每个学员的 任命为博士后职位，准备进入 生物医学/行为研究人员在他们的专业。的理由 目前的G-RISE建议是建立在我们目前的IMSD计划（24 博士在过去3个赠款周期和5个以上的预期今年），并抓住机会 在G-RISE格式内开发程序性创新。以下关键 这些活动构成了拟议的G-RISE计划设计的一部分：1）研究 沟通工作坊，以发展学员的沟通技巧， 科学研究的多学科观众，2）奖学金写作讲习班， 培养知识基础，以开发奖学金申请，3）研究生涯 准备研讨会系列和4）调查和研究的负责任的行为 生殖学系列研讨会。拟议的方案包括一个导师培训部分， G-RISE计划与建立和早期职业生涯之间的健康平衡 investigators.拟议的计划可衡量的成果是：1）赚取博士学位 学位; 2）申请至少一个博士前奖学金，3）成功竞争一个 博士后研究奖学金/职位由完成博士学位。采取 总的来说，拟议的G-RISE计划将继续发展一个成功的 培训方案旨在促进受训人员进入以下领域： 行为/生物医学研究，他们一直在传统上代表性不足。

ABSTRACT The mission of the proposed G-RISE Program is to increase the number of PhDs underrepresented in the diverse fields of Biology, Chemistry, Neuroscience and Psychology who will proceed to postdoctoral research fellowships/positions, on a trajectory to enter the biomedical/behavioral research workforce. To accomplish this goal, our main program objectives are: 1) to foster in each trainee: self-efficacy in their chosen specialty, self-identification as a research scientist, and the confidence that they are integral, contributing members of their scientific community; 2) to develop our trainees’ technical and professional skills required to conduct research in an ethically responsible and rigorous manner; 3) to develop our trainees’ didactic, research, mentoring, and career development skills; 4) to promote our trainees’ timely fulfillment of the institutional requirements for the Ph.D.; 5) to foster and facilitate each trainee’s appointment to a postdoctoral position in preparation for entering the biomedical/behavioral research workforce in their specialty. The rationale for the current G-RISE proposal is to build on the success of our current IMSD Program (24 PhDs in the last 3 grant cycles and 5 more expected this year) and take the opportunity to develop programmatic innovations within the G-RISE format. The following key activities comprise part of the design of the proposed G-RISE Program: 1) Research Communication Workshop to develop the trainees’ skills in communicating their scientific research to a multidisciplinary audience, 2) Fellowship Writing Workshop to foster a knowledge base to develop a fellowship application, 3) Research Career Preparation seminar series and 4) Responsible Conduct of Research and Research Reproducibility seminar series. A mentor-training component is included in the proposed G-RISE program with a healthy balance between established and early career investigators. The proposed program measurable outcomes are: 1) Earning the PhD degree; 2) Applying for at least one predoctoral fellowship, 3) Successfully vying for a postdoctoral research fellowship/position by the completion of the doctorate. Taken together, the proposed G-RISE Program will continue the development of a successful training program aimed at fostering the entrance of the trainees into fields of behavioral/biomedical research in which they have been traditionally underrepresented.
