项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT While the academy excels in training scientists to conduct research, there is usually little opportunity for trainees to learn and practice the professional skills that are essential to progressing and thriving in biomedical research careers. To address this gap, The Jackson Laboratory (JAX), with IPERT support, developed The Whole Scientist (TWS) program, which provides graduate students and postdoctoral fellows with professional skills training to enhance their effectiveness and improve their success as members of the biomedical workforce. TWS incorporates classroom learning with applied practica to help trainees develop aptitude and confidence in these skills. Previous offerings of TWS were well received. We are now ready to increase the capacity and reach of this program. We will build on the previous TWS successes to broaden our curriculum using a novel thematic approach to skill development, and to expand our geographic footprint by implementing TWS at institutions across the nation. We will translate in-person TWS content into freely available online microcontent, for use in stand-alone professional skills training, integration into graduate coursework, or self-directed learning. TWS microcontent will facilitate implementation of TWS programming nationally, which will be enhanced by partnering with five geographically dispersed institutions – one in each year of the grant. At these partner institutions, we will provide “train-the- trainer” workshops for faculty and staff to support integration of TWS into their training curricula. The strategic partner institutions will themselves become hubs for further dissemination of the curriculum and trainer training. The TWS curriculum’s effectiveness at instilling professional skills and its impact on participants’ subsequent careers will be evaluated at defined intervals. Feedback from participants and an advisory committee will continue to guide further development of the program. Combined with formal and informal feedback from “train- the-trainer” participants, we envision an adaptable and scalable training program that can be tailored to the interests and needs of diverse graduate and/or postdoctoral scientists.

项目概要/摘要虽然该学院擅长培训科学家进行研究，但受训者通常很少有机会学习和练习对于生物医学研究的进步和繁荣至关重要的专业技能为了解决这一差距，杰克逊实验室 (JAX) 在 IPERT 的支持下开发了 The Whole。科学家（TWS）计划，为研究生和博士后研究员提供专业技能培训以提高他们作为生物医学工作者的效率并提高他们的成功率。将课堂学习与应用实践相结合，帮助学员培养这些方面的能力和信心 TWS 之前的产品受到好评，我们现在已准备好增加其容量和覆盖范围。这个程序。我们将在之前 TWS 成功的基础上，使用新颖的主题技能方法来扩展我们的课程发展，并通过在全国各地的机构实施 TWS 来扩大我们的地理覆盖范围。将把现场 TWS 内容翻译成免费的在线微内容，供独立专业人士使用技能培训、融入研究生课程或自主学习 TWS 微内容将促进这一点。在全国范围内实施 TWS 规划，并将通过与五个地理区域的合作来加强该规划分散的机构——每年资助一个。在这些合作机构，我们将提供“培训”。为教职员工举办的“培训师”研讨会，以支持将 TWS 纳入他们的培训课程。伙伴机构本身将成为进一步传播课程和培训师培训的中心。 TWS课程在灌输专业技能方面的有效性及其对参与者后续的影响职业生涯将按照规定的时间间隔进行评估，并且咨询委员会将根据参与者的反馈进行评估。结合“培训-”的正式和非正式反馈，继续指导该计划的进一步发展。培训师”参与者，我们设想了一个适应性强且可扩展的培训计划，可以根据不同研究生和/或博士后科学家的兴趣和需求。
