PROJECT SUMMARY This is a new application for a T32 to support predoctoral training in Biochemistry, Cell and Developmental Biology (BCDB) at Emory University. The award will replace the current T32 training program, which is in its 29th year, and has successfully trained a diverse cohort of students for the biomedical research workforce. We are requesting 7 positions and anticipate the duration of appointment will be 12-24 months. The mission of the BCDB training program is to provide an outstanding training environment through evidenced-based learning approaches and top caliber research mentors for development of our Ph.D. level workforce in academic-, industry- and government-based research careers as well as other biomedical research-related careers. This mission will be accomplished through a core curriculum that includes discussion-based, active learning approaches to the fundamental principles of biological processes at the biochemical and cellular level and development of oral and written presentation skills through classroom and seminar experiences. In addition, the importance of rigor and reproducibility in biomedical research is emphasized throughout the training with a required course as well as emphasizing this training as part of the courses, seminars and journal clubs. The objectives of the training program are to use these approaches to provide Ph.D. scientists with the necessary skills in critical thinking, experimental design and quantitative approaches as they acquire an understanding of how to conduct their work in a manner that is responsible, rigorous and reproducible. The program has an inclusive environment and is active in the recruitment and retention of students from diverse backgrounds. There is also an established focus on training the faculty mentors to provide the most outstanding training environment possible. The program also provides unique training opportunities to students supported by the proposed T32 training program through their responsibilities in running an innovative journal club as well as their role in organizing the two annual BCDB symposia; one which highlights career opportunities for Ph.D. graduates. We plan to continue our track record of training success while also introducing new and innovative aspects to the training together with mechanisms to evaluate both student and program outcomes.

项目概要 这是 T32 的一个新应用程序，用于支持生物化学、细胞和发育方面的博士前培训 埃默里大学生物学（BCDB）。该奖项将取代目前第 29 届的 T32 培训计划 年，并成功为生物医学研究队伍培训了多元化的学生群体。我们是 请求 7 个职位，预计任命期限为 12-24 个月。 BCDB的使命 培训计划是通过循证学习提供卓越的培训环境 为我们的博士发展提供方法和顶级研究导师。学术水平的劳动力， 基于行业和政府的研究职业以及其他生物医学研究相关职业。这 使命将通过核心课程来完成，其中包括基于讨论的主动学习 在生化和细胞水平上研究生物过程基本原理的方法 通过课堂和研讨会经验发展口头和书面表达能力。此外， 在整个培训过程中强调了生物医学研究的严谨性和可重复性的重要性 必修课程，并强调这种培训是课程、研讨会和期刊俱乐部的一部分。这 培训计划的目标是使用这些方法来提供博士学位。具有必要的科学家 当他们了解以下内容时，他们将具备批判性思维、实验设计和定量方法的技能 如何以负责任、严谨和可重复的方式开展工作。该程序有一个 包容的环境，并积极招募和保留来自不同背景的学生。那里 还设立了注重培训的师资导师，提供最优秀的培训环境 可能的。该计划还为受拟议 T32 支持的学生提供独特的培训机会 通过他们在运营创新期刊俱乐部中的职责以及他们在 组织两届 BCDB 年度研讨会；其中强调了博士的职业机会。毕业生。我们 计划继续我们的培训成功记录，同时引入新的和创新的方面 培训以及评估学生和项目成果的机制。
