PROJECT SUMMARY The overall mission of the UCSF/UC Berkeley Bioengineering Training Program is to train future leaders and innovators in bioengineering. We hope to instill a culture of collaboration, creativity, and productivity to support innovative and independent thinkers, capable of addressing critical questions at the interface of science and engineering. The program links two of the most productive and highly regarded research and educational institutions in the nation with the goal of creating opportunities for graduate students to experience how engineering principles can be brought to bear upon important problems in biomedical sciences and clinical care. Our 95 faculty are based in 25 departments over two campuses and their laboratories include an array of state- of-the art facilities. We pursue these goals through a combination of coursework, mentored research, and other structured training activities. The bioengineering training program provides a fundamental foundation in both engineering and biology, and integrates computational science and clinical exposure. Required courses teach students rigor and reproducibility, biostatistics, and computational approaches in research. Skills development in evaluating, proposing and communicating research is also threaded through the first year curriculum and reinforced by laboratory training and mentorship. Career exploration and professional development is emphasized from the beginning of the student experience and supported by robust program and institutional resources, and professional mentorship from program faculty, all of whom are required to participate in mentor development training. We anticipate supporting 20 trainees annually from the large pool of eligible students in the UCSF/UC Berkeley Graduate Program in Bioengineering, which aims to enroll 35 new entrants each year. Intended program outcomes include degree completion in 5-6 years, generation and communication of a body of rigorous and impactful bioengineering research, and successful transition to a diversity of bioengineering- related careers. We strive to provide an inclusive learning and mentoring atmosphere so that we can uphold the same high standards for program outcomes for all students, including those from underrepresented backgrounds, students with disability, and students from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds. The unique ability for bioengineers to integrate principles from diverse fields and thereby span the gap between advances in basic science and clinical utilization places individuals trained in this field at a critical point in advancing the research and education mission of NIH NIGMS.

项目摘要 UCSF/UC Berkeley生物工程培训计划的总体任务是培训未来的领导者和 生物工程的创新者。我们希望灌输一种协作，创造力和生产力的文化以支持 创新和独立的思想家，能够在科学界面上解决关键问题， 工程。该计划链接了两个最有生产力，最受尊敬的研究和教育 全国机构的目标是为研究生创造机会体验 可以在生物医学科学和临床护理中的重要问题来解决工程原则。 我们的95位教职员工位于两个校园的25个部门，其实验室包括一系列国家 - 艺术设施。我们通过课程，指导的研究和其他组合来追求这些目标 结构化培训活动。生物工程培训计划为这两个 工程和生物学，并整合计算科学和临床暴露。所需的课程教学 学生在研究中的严格和可重复性，生物统计学和计算方法。技能发展 在评估时，提出和交流研究也是第一年的课程和 通过实验室培训和指导加强。职业探索和专业发展是 从学生的经验开始，并得到强大的计划和机构的支持 资源和课程教师的专业指导，所有人都必须参加导师 发展培训。我们预计每年从大批合格学生那里得到20名学员 UCSF/UC Berkeley的生物工程研究生课程，旨在每年注册35名新进入者。 预期的计划成果包括5 - 6年内的学位完成，即身体的产生和交流 严格且有影响力的生物工程研究，并成功过渡到多样化的生物工程 - 相关职业。我们努力提供包容性的学习和指导氛围，以便我们可以维护 所有学生的计划成果相同的高标准，包括来自代表性不足的学生 背景，残疾学生以及来自社会经济处于弱势背景的学生。这 生物工程师的独特能力，可以整合来自不同领域的原则，从而跨越了差距 基础科学和临床利用率的进步使在该领域接受培训的个人处于关键时刻 推进NIH Nigms的研究和教育任务。
