Career Development and Training Plan

该RCE职业发展和培训部分的一个主要目标是提供 吸引新的初级调查人员研究生物恐怖主义毒剂和新兴机构的机制 此外，该中心还将向他们提供有关传染病(BA/EID)的培训，并为他们提供启动此类研究方案的工资支持。 将为博士后研究员和初级教员提供为期1-3年的奖学金。 成员包括在实验室科学和临床传染病方面受过培训的个人。研究员们会 将从太平洋西北地区(PNWRCE)内的不同机构招聘，并将接受评估和 由来自多个PNWRCE机构的推选委员会选出。研究员将被要求 将80%的精力投入到研究项目中，将与一名资深教师导师配对，并将由 推选委员会每年举行一次会议。此外，研究员将被要求提交报告2和4。 在完成奖学金后数年，以评估培训方案对他们#年职业生涯的影响 学士/开斋节研究。 培训计划的第二个主要组成部分是在3个领域提供课程，这些课程将促进 与BA/EID相关的培训。第一门课程将为研究生、博士后、 和教员级别，在生物危害安全实验室实践方面接受过严格的BSL3级培训 遏制，以确保他们可以有效地与选定的代理合作。第二个课程将提供 从研究生到教职员工的生物信息学基本培训，以便他们能够 设计项目，并与生物信息学专家合作。第三道菜 将提供紧急应对BA/EID疫情的培训，并将以公共卫生为目标 实习生、医学生、住院医生、临床研究员和基础科学家。每门课程都将接受评估 每年通过问卷调查、部分教职员工的审查和向RCE提交结果 指导委员会，以判断成功并提出改进建议。

A major objective of the Career Development and Training component of this RCE is to provide a mechanism for attracting new junior investigators to research on Bioterrorism Agents and Emerging Infectious Diseases (BA/EID) and to provide them with salary support to initiate such a research program. Fellowships of between 1-3 years duration will be provided for both postdoctoral fellows and junior faculty members including individuals with training in laboratory science and clinical infectious diseases. Fellows will be recruited from diverse institutions within the Pacific Northwest RCE (PNWRCE) and will be evaluated and selected by a Selection Committee derived from multiple PNWRCE institutions. Fellows will be required to devote 80% effort to the research project, will be paired with a senior faculty mentor, and will be evaluated by the Selection Committee on an annual basis. In addition, fellows will be required to present reports 2 and 4 years following completion of the fellowship to evaluate the effect of the training program on their careers in BA/EID research. A second major component of the training program is to offer courses in 3 areas that will promote essential training related to BA/EID. The first course will provide researchers at the graduate student, postdoctoral, and faculty levels with rigorous training in biohazard safety laboratory practices at the BSL3 level of containment to ensure that they can work effectively with Select Agents. The second course will provide basic training in bioinformatics to individuals from the graduate student through faculty level so that they can design projects and work effectively with collaborators who are experts in bioinformatics. The third course will provide training in emergency response to a BA/EID outbreak and will be targeted at public health trainees, medical students, residents, clinical fellows and basic scientists. Each course will be evaluated annually by questionnaire, by review on the part of the faculty, and by presentation of results to the RCE Steering Committee to judge success and to recommend improvements.
