ASM Summer Institute in Preparation of Careers in Microbiology - Cycle 3

美国微生物学会研究生和博士后年度暑期研究所 2000年，学者们开始为微生物学的职业生涯做准备。第一所学院是在 2001年在威斯康星大学，有19人参加。2001年和2002年，ASM分别寻求 美国国立卫生研究院资助该研究所的资金(1R13 AI52120-01和1R13 AI055488-01-03)。在本建议书中 (周期3)，ASM请拨141,600美元，用于从2006年开始的五年内每年举办一个暑期研习班，以及 将于2010年结束。 学生在助学金准备、沟通、教学和培训方面的培训有限且不一致 指导、职业规划和道德，尽管他们有很多机会进行科学研究 在他们的研究生培训期间进行研究。为了解决这些缺点，ASM研究生委员会 博士后教育建议成立一个年度研究所。该研究所的目标是提供多达30个 研究生和博士后科学家在微生物学方面的密集和密切联系 在五个关键领域提供指导和指导，这些领域对选择和准备职业生涯很重要 微生物学家。研训所的具体目标是帮助学员： 1.准备一份组织良好的研究提案，清楚地阐明他们项目的具体目标，并 计划解决问题。 2.向科学界清楚而简明地介绍他们的研究项目。 3.研究微生物学家在培训和计划中可获得的一些职业机会和途径 它们自己的路径。 4.结合有效的教学和辅导策略，满足微生物学的教育需求 学生在各种不同的环境中学习。 5.认识到科学界所遇到的有关科学研究的伦理问题。 公众将从该研究所受益，因为它赋予研究生和博士后科学家 成为优秀的研究科学家、教师和导师所需的技能，从而缩短 从教育和培训到微生物科学的生产性就业的时间。

The American Society for Microbiology annual Summer Institute for Graduate Students and Postdoctoral Scholars in Preparation of Careers in Microbiology was envisioned in 2000. The first Institute was offered in 2001 at the University of Wisconsin with 19 participants. In 2001 and 2002 respectively, the ASM sought funds from NIH to support the Institute (1R13 AI52120-01 and 1R13 AI055488-01-03). In this proposal (cycle 3), the ASM requests $141,600 for one summer institute per year for five years beginning in 2006 and ending in 2010. Students have limited and inconsistent training in grant preparations, communications, teaching and mentoring, career planning, and ethics even though they have numerous opportunities to conduct scientific research during their graduate training. To address these shortcomings, the ASM Committee on Graduate and Postdoctoral Education proposes an annual Institute. The goal of the Institute is to provide up to 30 graduate students and postdoctoral scientists in the microbiological sciences with intensive and closely guided instruction and mentoring in five key areas important for selecting and preparing for a career as a microbiologist. The specific aims of the Institute are to help participants: 1. Prepare a well-organized research proposal that articulates clearly the specific aims of their project and a plan to address the problem. 2. Deliver a clear and concise presentation of their research project to the scientific community. 3. Examine a number of career opportunities and pathways available to microbiologists-in-training and plan their own pathway. 4. Incorporate effective teaching and mentoring strategies to meet the educational needs of microbiology students in a variety of different settings. 5. Recognize ethical implications regarding scientific research as encountered by the scientific community. The public will benefit from the Institute by empowering graduate students and postdoctoral scientists with skills necessary to become excellent research scientists, teachers and mentors, and thereby, shortening the time from education and training to productive employment in the microbiological sciences.
