Career Training in Reproductive Biology

摘要 生殖健康是全面健康的窗口，为高收入者提供了巨大的机会和挑战。 高质量的跨学科研究和职业。这次续约的目标是继续职业生涯的努力 生殖生物学培训（CTRB）计划，培养优秀的博士前学生， 生殖科学的科学生涯。要求每年提供资金培训五名博士前学生 在一个由两个主要部分组成的双重计划中。首先，为了准备研究生涯，学生将从事 生殖生物学中严格的、基于假设的科学实验室工作。第二，为学生做好准备 不同的职业道路，他们将完成密歇根大学赞助的证书课程或其他 有组织的职业发展活动，以磨练教学技能，翻译研究，公共政策， 生物技术、创业、生物技术或他们选择的其他领域。这些职业发展 课程是专门设计的，以配合研究生的工作，为学生准备的定性和 特定学科职业所需的定量技能。这一创新方案满足了以下需求： 生殖生物学实习生的方式不同于任何其他程序在密歇根大学。十四选 教师导师，谁是高度认可的科学家与激情和广泛的综合经验， 博士前教育，热情地组成CTRB计划教师。学员来自 在生物医学科学，生物医学工程和环境方面非常强大的研究生课程 健康科学具体的培训活动包括哺乳动物生殖生理学的正式课程， 科学交流和负责任的研究行为，以及统计分析/实验设计， 与导师一起参加辅导讲习班，每月辅导受训者研究报告， 实验室管理小组讨论，扩大生殖研究伦理培训，每年两次 生殖科学专题讨论会和一年两次的指导会议。培训人员的投入已经并将继续 积极制定培训计划。学员和导师提交正式的竞争性申请， 审查并要求任命为CTRB计划。CTRB计划通过主动监测 教师和学员参与程序开发，并由经验丰富的内部顾问 以马克思这些机制确保程序响应不断发展的 研究环境和不断变化的学员需求。

Abstract Reproductive health is the window to overall health and offers enormous opportunities and challenges for high- quality interdisciplinary research and careers. The goal of this renewal is to continue the efforts of the Career Training in Reproductive Biology (CTRB) Program to train exceptional predoctoral students for diverse scientific careers in the reproductive sciences. Funds are requested to train five predoctoral students per year in a dual program consisting of two main parts. First, to prepare for a research career, students will engage in rigorous, hypothesis-based scientific laboratory work in reproductive biology. Second, to prepare students for varied career paths, they will complete a University of Michigan-sponsored Certificate program or other structured career development activities to hone skills in teaching, translational research, public policy, biotechnology, entrepreneurship, biotechnology or other areas of their choosing. These career development programs were specifically designed to dovetail with graduate work to prepare students with the qualitative and quantitative skills needed for careers in specific disciplines. This innovative program addresses the needs of reproductive biology trainees in a way unlike any other program at the University of Michigan. Fourteen select faculty mentors, who are highly recognized scientists with a passion for and extensive combined experience in predoctoral education, enthusiastically comprise the CTRB Program faculty. Trainees are drawn from exceptionally strong graduate programs in biomedical sciences, biomedical engineering and environmental health sciences. Specific training activities include formal courses in Mammalian Reproductive Physiology, Scientific Communication and Responsible Conduct of Research, and statistical analyses/experimental design, participation in a mentoring workshop with their preceptor, monthly mentored trainee research presentations, group discussions of laboratory management, expanded ethics training in reproductive research, two annual symposia in reproductive sciences and twice-yearly mentoring meeting. Trainee input has and will continue to actively shape the training program. Trainees and mentors submit formal competitive applications that are reviewed and required for appointment to the CTRB Program. The CTRB Program is monitored through active engagement of faculty and trainees in program development, and by an experienced internal advisory committee. These mechanisms ensure program responsiveness to demands of a continuously evolving research environment and changing trainee needs.
