Cellular and Molecular Biology Training Program

项目总结 我们寻求更新一个长期的、成功的细胞和分子博士前培训计划 斯坦福大学生物学(CMB)，培养出具有杰出出版记录的学员， 他们中的大多数人在学术界、政府或私营部门从事与研究相关的职业。 该计划的目标是吸引一批优秀和多样化的受训人员，并发展他们的 科学思维能力，严谨可重复的数据管理，有效的科学交流 以及研究的道德和负责任的行为。培训包括课程作业(包括核心课程 专注于技能发展)、研讨会、与优秀教师的研究以及与 充满活力的科学社区，将斯坦福大学跨部门的许多细胞和分子生物学家团结在一起 和学校的界限。学生被斯坦福大学生物科学全球招生计划录取 让他们在选择研究导师方面拥有最大的灵活性，但也可以加入家庭计划，以 提供个性化的指导和更亲密的社区感。招商银行计划的申请者 从所有国内项目征集，并由招商银行项目总监和执行人员任命 基于智力优势的2-3年博士培训委员会，他们建议的研究与 细胞和分子生物学，以及导师资格。培训学院由56名科学家组成。 来自13个不同的部门，这些部门在性别和职级上存在差异，并有很强的支持和 辅导。2018年将为初级教员推出导师培训，同时还将举办支持招商银行的晚宴 女教员。学员和教职员工主要来自5个不同的家庭项目，其中规模最大的 来自生物学/细胞和分子轨道或生物化学的小组。招商银行项目总监和 执行委员会监测学生的进步和遵守方案要求的情况，包括 年度会议，讨论个人发展计划(IDP)。所有学员完成公共课程 要求，并每年参加专门的计划活动，包括招商银行欢迎 研讨会、招商银行研究研讨会、招商银行伦理研讨会。2017年的计划评估表明 CMB通过促进全校范围内的知识交流，为学员和教职员工提供价值 招商银行实习生和教职员工队伍。该项目最近的变化包括一位新的项目联席主任Dr。 Raj Rohatgi，并介绍将突出招商银行校友的职业发展活动。中巴 计划通过与软件木工合作开发研讨会来引领课程变革 促进计算能力以及严格和可重复的数据管理实践。招商银行是 还制定了新的年度评估表，跟踪学员在实现关键培训目标方面的进展。 因此，招商银行项目继续在斯坦福大学蓬勃发展，汇聚了一批不同的学员和 对细胞和分子生物学学科的研究和培训有共同热情的教职员工。

Project summary We seek renewal of a long running, successful pre-doctoral training program in Cellular and Molecular Biology (CMB) at Stanford University that produces trainees with outstanding publication records, the vast majority of whom pursue research-related careers in academia, government or the private sector. Objectives of the program are to attract an excellent and diverse cohort of trainees and to develop their skills in scientific thinking, rigorous and reproducible data management, effective science communication and the ethical and responsible conduct of research. Training involves coursework (including a core course that focuses on skill development), seminars, research with outstanding faculty, and interaction with a vibrant scientific community that unites many cell and molecular biologists at Stanford across departmental and school boundaries. Students are admitted to the Stanford Biosciences global admissions program to give them maximum flexibility in choice of a research mentor, but also affiliate with a home program, to provide individualized mentoring and a more intimate sense of community. Applicants to the CMB program are solicited from all home programs, and are appointed by the CMB program directors and Executive committee for years 2-3 of PhD training based on intellectual merit, relevance of their proposed research to cellular and molecular biology, and mentor qualifications. The training faculty is composed of 56 scientists from 13 different departments that are diverse in gender and rank and have strong records of support and mentoring. Mentor training will be introduced for junior faculty in 2018 along with dinners to support CMB women faculty. Trainees and faculty are primarily drawn from 5 different home programs, with the largest group coming from Biology/Cell and Molecular track, or Biochemistry. CMB program directors and the Executive committee monitor student progress and compliance with programmatic requirements, including annual meetings to address an individual development plan (IDP). All trainees fulfill common curricular requirements and participate annually in specialized program activities that include the CMB Welcome Symposium, CMB Research Symposium, and CMB Ethics Workshop. Program evaluation in 2017 indicates that CMB provides value to trainees and faculty by promoting intellectual exchange among a campus-wide cohort of CMB trainees and faculty. Recent changes to the program include a new program co-director, Dr. Raj Rohatgi, and introduction of career development events that will highlight CMB alumni. The CMB program is leading curricular change by partnering with Software Carpentry to develop workshops that promote computational competence and rigorous and reproducible data management practices. CMB is also developing new annual evaluation forms that will track trainee progress toward key training goals. Thus, the CMB program continues to thrive at Stanford by bringing together a diverse group of trainees and faculty that share a passion for research and training in the disciplines of cellular and molecular biology.
