Training Program in Immunology

摘要 梅奥诊所免疫学博士培训计划旨在为下一代 免疫学家。这项培训资助计划要求为6名博士前学生提供支持，这些学生将在 一个由一流的学术非营利性医疗机构支持的生产性生物医学研究项目。 高效率的培训人员为基础和临床研究人员提供了丰富的培训环境 将基础免疫学研究与翻译潜力相结合。培训计划有一个 在为学生在科学职业生涯中取得成功做好准备方面的模范记录。在所有的学生中 顺利完成博士培养计划，98.9%的人留在了科学，科学相关的领域 或者是药物。54.9%的毕业生目前拥有学术职称，这一比例几乎是全国平均水平的两倍。 该项目的学生接受初级文学和尖端技术方面的高级培训 多学科背景下的课程作业和选修课。计划中的里程碑将重点放在每个 学员掌握阐述关键问题所需的技能，并制定实验策略以 对正在解决的问题提供明确的见解。学生们学习交流思想和 有效地使用口头和书面形式的研究成果，并在课堂环境中练习这些技能 在国内和国际科学会议上，以及通过发表原创研究 科学期刊上的文章。这笔补助金支持的学员的典型培训期为5.2年，上限为 通过为他们职业发展的下一个阶段提供指导。

ABSTRACT The Mayo Clinic Immunology Ph.D. Training Program seeks to train leaders for the next generation of immunologists. This training grant proposal requests support for 6 pre-doctoral students who will be trained in a productive biomedical research program supported by a premier academic not-for-profit medical institution. The highly productive training faculty provide a rich training environment with basic and clinical investigators combining studies of fundamental immunology with translational potential. The training program has an exemplary track record in preparing students to succeed in scientific careers. Of all students who have successfully completed our Ph.D. Training Program , 98.9% have remained in science, science-related fields or medicine. 54.9% of those graduates currently hold academic rank, a rate almost twice the national average. Students in the program receive advanced training in primary literature and cutting edge technology focused coursework and electives in a multidisciplinary setting. Milestones in the program place emphasis on each trainee mastering the skills needed to formulate critical questions, and devising experimental strategies to provide definitive insights into the questions being addressed. Students learn to communicate ideas and research findings effectively using oral and written formats and practice these skills in classroom settings, in grantsmanship courses, at national and international scientific meetings, and by publishing original research articles in scientific journals. The typical training period for trainees supported by this grant is 5.2 years, capped by mentoring for the next phases of their developing careers.
