Project Summary: The UCSF Biomedical Sciences (BMS) training program provides interdisciplinary training to equip diverse students with the scientific and intellectual skills needed to rigorously address important problems in the biomedical sciences with increasing self-efficacy and self-direction, and the adaptability and professional skills needed to continue making contributions in their subsequent careers in the biomedical science workforce. The BMS program’s goals are closely aligned with those of the NIGMS Molecular Medicine program area. The program is unique among UCSF training programs, and addresses a national need for rigorous training of scientists who are motivated and able to apply basic and translational research approaches to dissect the mechanistic underpinnings of human disease, from molecules and single cells to tissue and organ systems. Students emerge from the training program with reinforced scientific identity, a record of scientific achievement, and opportunities to productively contribute to the biomedical scientific enterprise that accord with their own interests and values. We pursue these goals through a combination of coursework, mentored research, and other structured training activities. The BMS curriculum provides a fundamental foundation in cellular and molecular biology, genetics and tissue and organ biology, and integrates understanding of human disease states throughout. It provides opportunities for deep exposure to focus areas through small group discussion- style minicourses, and includes a translational science course that incorporates discussion with clinicians and patients. Workshops teach students to rigorously apply emerging technologies, 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, optional internships, and professional mentorship from program faculty, all of whom are required to participate in a Thesis Mentor Development training program. Selection for appointment to the training program is conducted through an application process at the beginning of students’ second year of training. Students may also apply for new or continued support at the beginning of their third year in the program. We anticipate supporting 12 trainees annually from the large pool of eligible students in the Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program, which aims to enroll 25 new entrants each year. Intended program outcomes include degree completion in 5-6 years, generation and communication of a body of rigorous and impactful biomedical research, and successful transition to research-related careers in the biomedical workforce. We endeavor 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.

项目摘要： UCSF生物医学科学（BMS）培训计划提供跨学科培训，以配备潜水员 具有严格解决重要问题所需的科学和智力技能的学生 生物医学科学随着自我效能和自我指导的增加以及适应性和专业技能 需要继续在其随后的生物医学劳动力中做出贡献。 BMS计划的目标与Nigms Molecular Medicine计划领域的目标紧密相符。这 计划在UCSF培训计划中是独一无二的，并满足了国家对严格培训的需求 有动力并能够采用基本和翻译的研究方法来剖析的科学家 人类疾病的机械基础，从分子和单细胞到组织和器官系统。 学生以加强科学身份从培训计划中脱颖而出，这是科学成就的记录， 以及有效地为生物医学科学企业做出贡献的机会 兴趣和价值观。我们通过课程工作，指导研究以及 其他结构化培训活动。 BMS课程为细胞和 分子生物学，遗传学和组织和器官生物学，并整合对人类疾病的理解 整个状态。它为通过小组讨论提供了深入暴露重点领域的机会 - 样式微型赛，并包括一个转化科学课程，该课程与临床医生和 患者。讲习班老师的学生严格应用新兴技术，生物统计学和计算 研究方法。评估，提议和交流研究方面的技能发展也是 通过第一年的课程进行划清，并通过实验室培训和指导力量加强。职业 从学生体验开始就强调了探索和专业发展， 在强大的计划和机构资源，可选实习和专业心态的支持下支持 从计划教师那里，所有人都必须参加论文指导发展培训计划。 选择培训计划的选择是通过申请过程在开始时进行的 学生的第二年培训。学生还可以在开始时申请新的或持续的支持 他们在计划中的第三年。我们预计每年有12位学员从合格的大量资格提供支持 生物医学科学研究生课程的学生，旨在每年注册25个新条目。 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 严格而有影响力的生物医学研究，并成功过渡到与研究相关的职业 生物医学劳动力。我们努力提供包容性的学习和心理氛围，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。
