Training in Cellular, Biochemical and Molecular Sciences

7.项目摘要/摘要 罗切斯特大学将自己定位为国际公认的卓越中心 研究和培训研究疾病分子基础的下一代科学家。但是，有了 科学技术的日益迅速的进步，需要更多地关注严谨和 研究的重复性，以及学生将博士学位用于不同职业的认识 在生物医学方面，有必要加强研究生的机构培训。因此，我们 提出一项由T32赞助的培训计划，该计划将显著加强我们的机构培训活动，以 让学生更好地为新时代做好准备。我们建议的培训计划将发展学生的技能， 进行、解释和展示严谨和可重复的生物医学研究，同时增加自我 方向。此外，T32导师将引导学生变得更具协作性，并了解领域 从细胞生物学到分子的分子行为，再到大数据的计算分析 布景。我们将教导学生在职业选择方面进行广泛的思考，并向他们灌输技能和 在专业环境中取得成功所需的知识。我们的节目将向学员灌输一种 认识到劳动力多样性的价值，具备研究道德行为的技能，以及 职场职业化。我们将通过T32赞助的课程和活动来实现这些目标 确保广泛了解新兴技术、尖端方法和严谨 实验的设计、执行和结果的交流。我们提出了新的培训计划 辅导员和学员进度监控。这些活动和学习机会将整合在一起 在每个学生的毕业经历中，而不仅仅是在两年的聘任期内。此外, 我们通过向所有学生提供建议的活动来利用这些活动，而不考虑 培训补助金资格。我们将培养自主探究的技能，使学生能够独立 增强他们作为终身学习者的基础知识和技能。拟议的培训方案将 不仅是在我们现有的T32取得14年成功的基础上，例如我们的核心毕业生女性在 科学计划，但也增加了许多新的基本要素，现有的培训计划。

7. Project Summary/Abstract The University of Rochester is distinguishing itself as an internationally recognized center for excellence in research and training the next generation of scientists studying the molecular bases of disease. However, with increasingly rapid advancements in scientific techniques, the need for greater attention to rigor and reproducibility in research, and the recognition that students use their PhD for diverse careers in the biomedical sciences, there is a need to augment the institutional training of graduate students. Therefore, we propose a T32-sponsored Training Program that will significantly enhance our institutional training activities to better prepare students for a new era. Our proposed Training Program will develop students’ skills in initiating, conducting, interpreting, and presenting rigorous and reproducible biomedical research with increasing self- direction. Moreover, T32 mentors will guide students to become more collaborative, and to understand fields ranging from cellular biology, to the molecular behavior of molecules, to computational analyses of large data sets. We will teach students to think broadly in terms of career choices, and to be inculcated in the skills and knowledge required for success in a professional environment. Our program will imbue trainees with an appreciation for the value of diversity in the work force, with skills in the ethical conduct of research, and in workplace professionalism. We will accomplish these goals through T32-sponsored courses and activities that ensure a broad knowledge of emerging technologies, cutting edge methods, and skills required for rigorous experimental design, execution, and communication of results. We propose novel programs for the training of mentors and monitoring of mentee progress. These activities and learning opportunities will be integrated throughout each student’s graduate experience, and not just during the 2-year appointment period. In addition, we leverage the vast majority of proposed activities by making them available to all students, regardless of training grant eligibility. We will develop skills in self-initiated investigation so that students can independently enhance their foundational knowledge and skill sets as life-long learners. The proposed Training Program will not only build on our 14-years of success with our existing T32, such as our centerpiece Graduate Women in Science program, but also add many new essential elements to the existing training program.
