Project Summary/Abstract The mission of the Tetrad program is to transform a group of bright, motivated, and diverse trainees into independent, innovative, and rigorous leaders in academic science, biotechnology, and affiliated disciplines. Our mission requires balancing disciplinary specialization, which is essential for depth and rigor, with the flexibility to think broadly across disciplines, which drives scientific breakthroughs. Towards this goal, the Tetrad program provides training in the fundamental principles of Genetics, Cell Biology, and Biochemistry and the use of these principles to practice the scientific method across disciplines and with rigor. The approaches and concepts in these areas are applicable to nearly every aspect of modern biology. Therefore, we believe that by building a solid foundation in these core areas, we can best equip our trainees for the fast pace of biomedical discovery and the expanding landscape of science related career options. Thus, our training does not get obsolete with new technological innovations or changing biological paradigms, but instead contributes to driving such breakthroughs by empowering students to engage in curiosity driven research. The emphasis on fundamental principles is complemented with exposure to cutting-edge biomedical findings and techniques to increase our students’ curiosity and foster their ability to tackle questions of broad significance. Our mission also requires training in essential professional skills, such as effective and accurate communication of science, an ability to work in diverse teams and an ability to identify a productive career path. Therefore, training activities such as proposal writing courses and career development workshops are woven throughout the program. Finally, our mission requires that efforts to diversify the biomedical workforce do not rely simply on increased recruitment of underrepresented students, but also depend on efforts to ensure their continued success. Therefore, activities such as training our program faculty to mentor across differences are essential program components. The broad range of scientific problems studied by the 79 training faculty and their strong commitment to graduate training has enabled Tetrad to provide an environment that nurtures the excitement and curiosity that lies at the heart of doing science and empowers all our trainees to be impactful members of the biomedical workforce. We plan on appointing 13 students for a duration of 2 years. Therefore, we request a total of 26 annual slots as we anticipate that each year, we will have 13 first year students and 13 second year students on this training grant. Trainees will be chosen from a highly qualified pool of students.

项目摘要/摘要 Tetrad计划的使命是将一组明亮，有动力和潜水员的培训转变为 学术科学，生物技术和会员学科的独立，创新和严格的领导者。我们的 任务需要平衡纪律专业，这对于深度和严格至关重要，并具有灵活性 跨学科广泛思考，这促进了科学的突破。朝着这个目标，四项计划 提供有关遗传学，细胞生物学和生物化学的基本原理的培训，并使用这些培训 跨学科和严格的科学方法的原则。中的方法和概念 这些领域几乎适用于现代生物学的各个方面。因此，我们相信，通过建造 在这些核心领域的坚实基础，我们可以最好地为受训者装备生物医学发现的快速步伐 以及与科学相关的职业选择的不断扩展的景观。那，我们的培训不会与 新的技术创新或改变生物学范例，但有助于推动这种范围 通过授权学生从事好奇心驱动研究的突破。强调基本 原则是通过暴露于最先进的生物医学发现和技术来增加我们的原则的 学生的好奇心并促进了解决广泛意义的问题的能力。我们的使命也需要 培训基本专业技能，例如有效，准确的科学交流，能够 在潜水员团队中工作，并能够识别产品职业道路。因此，培训活动，例如 提案写作课程和职业发展研讨会在整个计划中编织。最后，我们的 任务要求使生物医学劳动力多样化的努力不仅依赖于增加的招聘 代表性不足的学生，但也取决于确保他们持续成功的努力。因此，活动 例如，跨差异培训我们的计划教师是必不可少的计划组成部分。 79培训学院研究的一系列科学问题及其对毕业的坚定承诺 培训使Tetrad能够提供一个环境，以护理兴奋和好奇心 进行科学的核心，并赋予我们所有学员成为生物医学劳动力的有影响力的成员。我们 计划约13名学生2年。因此，我们总共要求26个年龄 预计每年，我们将有13名第一年的学生和13名第二年学生获得这项培训补助金。 将从高素质的学生池中选择受训人员。
